  • Regardless of their wording, BBC news has a super Israel bias, and they even got called out on live TV during the news for it. They are not the place for unbiased reporting of this specific issue. The UK will always pretend Israel can do no wrong because they created them.

  • I'm up to 537 lines of server code, 2278 lines in my script, and 226 in my API interfacing, I'm actually super proud of it haha.

    But you're totally right, there are things I read that I just have no clue what they even mean or if I should know it, and probably use all the wrong terminology. I feel like I should probably go back to the start and find a course to teach me properly. I've probably learned so many bad habits. It doesn't help that I learned JS before ES6 so I need to force myself not to use var and force myself to understand and use arrow functions.

    I absolutely know that the way I've written the program will make some people cringe, but I don't know any better. There are a few sections where I'm like "would that actually be what a real, commercial web app would do, or have I convoluted everything?"

    For example, the entire thing is just one 129-line html file. I just hide and unhide divs when I need a new page or anything gets changed. I'm assuming that's a bad thing, but it works, it looks good, and I don't know any better!

  • My only education is a super helpful guy from Reddit who taught me the basics of setting up a back end with nodejs and postgres. After that it's just been me, the references and stack overflow.

    I have NO education about actual practises and protocol. This was just a tool I made to make my work easier and faster, which I check in and update every few months to make it better.

    I just open vscode, run node server.js to get started, and within server.js is a direct link to my database using the SQL above. It works, has worked for a year or two, and I don't know any other way I should be working. Happy to learn though!

    (but of course this has set me back so much it would have been quicker not to make the tool at all)

  • I've had this multiple times.

    Tried to leave a big detailed helpful negative review and it gets flagged for being suspicious, with no copy of the review attached so I have to write it all again. And then it gets removed again.

    I just looked in my emails. The exact phrasing was "We have reviewed our decisions and concluded that the product you received is authentic. As a result, we removed your review specific to this product. This ensures other customers see reviews that reflect the current shopping experience."

    Most recently it happened with a body trimmer, where I never questioned the inauthenticity, and then a zojirushi travel mug that I genuinely believe was a fake, and attached a lot of evidence.

  • Wow, what a brainy quote from 200 years ago, that sure showed me.

    Maistre thought that politics should derive from religion and that in Europe this religious authority must ultimately lie with the Pope. Would you also like the Pope to replace the government instead?

  • So you're saying yes, Israel can forcefully remove Palestinians because they were there first?

    Therefore Russia can forcefully remove Ukrainians because they were there first?

  • "at one time in the past"

    As did Russians on the land of Ukraine, in their opinion.

    In the 17th/18th century, parts of what is now Ukraine were incorporated into the Russian Empire, especially after the partitions of Poland in the late 18th century. However, other parts remained under Polish or Ottoman rule. The Russian Empire did exert considerable influence over these territories, often implementing Russification policies.

    Throughout the 19th century, the concept of a Ukrainian identity persisted, albeit under the umbrella of the Russian Empire for many regions. Some Ukrainians sought greater autonomy or even independence.

    During the early 20th century, specifically after the Russian Revolution, Ukraine briefly declared independence but was soon incorporated into the Soviet Union as one of its constituent republics. While it was part of the USSR, Ukraine had its own Communist Party, constitution, and administrative structures, but Moscow held ultimate authority.

    It wasn't until 1991 that Ukraine was an independent country.

    So is Russia allowed to take back the land they feel is theirs, and technically was, 30 years ago?

    Meanwhile, "Israel" hadn't existed since around 63 BCE when it fell under Roman control. It wasn't until after WW1 and especially 1947 that Jewish people of the Zionist movement decided to reclaim their religious roots and move back to the area en masse.

    So is Israel allowed to take back the land they feel is theirs, and technically was, 2086 years ago?


    To be clear, I don't support anyone here. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of allowing Israel to dismantle Palestine whilst fighting the russian dismantlement of Ukraine.

    I don't think Palestine should be killing civilians, I don't think Russia should be, I don't think Israel should be. But they all are. And the media in the UK and US is only really reporting one side of the Israel situation due to their historic involvement, which causes a very one sided view of the situation, where a nation is being slowly invaded and killed whilst blaming them for any retaliation in any form.

  • IF that happened, then we could leave.

    But it hasn't happened.

    But our Tory government already is super right leaning and that's all we have now.

    If you voted remain you voted to be a part of the larger EU, if you voted leave you voted to only be governed by the tories.

    If you voted leave you fucked up big time and you're on the defensive. Swallow your pride and admit it was a bad choice at the time and it's a bad choice now. Nothing good has come of it.

    The only place you feel like it's a win is in the fantasy you just mentioned where nazi EU becomes a thing and we escaped just in time.

    But reality is that the UK is a lot more right leaning than the EU as a whole, they're ruining our country, and you voted to give them more power.
