Just an anecdote but I find this doesn't align at all with what I've personally read from the NYT. I've been following their Gaza coverage pretty closely, and I really feel like it's been highlighting the injustice of what's going on quite well. Some of those articles describing the things happening to Palestinians literally brought tears to my eyes.
Their comment sections are pretty consistently full of genocide apologists flaming them for supposedly spreading Hamas propaganda too.
To be honest, I can somewhat understand that a major news outlet would want to avoid words like "genocide" even though I personally think there's no doubt that it's the right word to use. The debate around using these words is too toxic, and using them would quickly tip discourse even further into bullshit semantic arguments, in turn distracting from what's being reported.
What are you talking about? The article includes new information that has been uncovered, it's far from "Hamas is also still bad". Do you think they shouldn't report new information on Hamas?
Please. Of course the NYT are far from infallible, but "no more journalistic credibility than the Enquirer" is just a ridiculous statement. There's a lot to criticize about their reporting on Gaza, but at the same time they've published some of the rawest and most eye-opening coverage of the situation in Gaza I've come across.
Super strange because on PS5 the load times are extremely fast since the patch. indoor / outdoor transitions are never longer than 4 or 5 seconds, and quick travel maybe 6 or so
I've found that I dream a lot, I just forget quickly, which can feel like not dreaming. For a while I kept a very light dream journal, just writing down whatever small thing I remember, even if it's just a feeling or something super vague. Don't worry if you don't remember anything initially — just being in the mindset was enough to boost my recall. Key is to do it right after waking up, while you're almost still half asleep. Write on paper with a pen, not your phone — it's too distracting.
During that period I remembered multiple dreams each night in full, and the memories were incredibly vivid, sometimes almost lucid. It was honestly crazy — some of those dreams had elaborate storylines, often super interesting scenery, and sometimes even almost video game-like "mechanics". I can only recommend keeping a dream journal... you learn a lot about yourself.
macOS out of the box fucking sucks for monitor scaling with third party monitors. It's honestly laughable for a modern OS. You can install some third party software that fixes it completely, but it really shouldn't be necessary. I use an (admittedly pretty strange) LG DualUp monitor as a secondary, and out of the box macOS can only make everything either extremely tiny, extremely large, or blurry.
Other than that, I've had no problems at all, and the window scaling between different DPI monitors is a lot smoother than it was with Windows previously.
I think this is a horrible idea but just because I know many of y'all only read the headline: the proposal is NOT for a "database" in the sense that the federal government is going to start directly keeping track of pregnancies. Rather, it's for a website where you can find motherhood-related information and a "database" of service providers. The "tracking" part is apparently that you can register on this website, and the gov reserves the right to then keep this (voluntarily surrendered) personal data to "reach out" to moms and "help" them.
Of course none of this would offer any info on abortion. Because this is coming from Alabama.
It's probably a bit more complicated than that.. a city that relies so much on tourism economically can't just start banning one of the main ways tourists stay there.
I'm really close to getting a new iPad but this ad actually made me want it a lot less. It made me consider whether I actually need another piece of tech in my life. Thanks Apple for saving me a thousand bucks haha
Idk. I guess I'm not offended, the ad just made me sad haha. I definitely understand that some creative professionals would be offended by the implication that a goddamn iPad could somehow replace a trumpet or a piano or literally any of those things shown in the ad. It's definitely lacking taste.
My dude, where the hell do you think these people can just go to? There is barely any land not under attack these days, and even if there is somewhere safe to go to, not everyone can just leave either because they physically can't or just don't have the means. Especially true when we're talking about goddamn hospitals...
many are coerced into staying by Hamas
Again, a great reason not to bomb the area if that's known to be the case.
So no, I wouldn’t be ok with blanket bombing any hospital full of innocent people.
Then why aren't you condemning Israel's conduct? This is exactly what's happening.
I would be ok with bombing a hospital where innocents have been told to leave and where terrorists and their weapons are located.
So, let me rephrase the question: in a hypothetical situation where hundreds of Israelis were kept in a location with a bunch of Hamas in the basement and coerced to stay there by hamas, do you think the IDF would be justified in bombing it?
Tell me where are all the protests against Hamas?
I don't even want to engage with this point because it's not relevant in this discussion whatsoever. Unless you think innocent people deserve being bombed because they don't demonstrate against a violent regime within an active warzone while trying to survive.
You keep making this argument but I just don't get. How does the supposed presence of Hamas in / under / around a target full of innocent civilians and children in any way justify bombing the area with what can only be described as full disregard for innocent casualties? Would you be ok with the IDF carpet bombing a hospital full of Israeli citizens based on intelligence that a bunch of Hamas are holed up in the basement? If not, why is it okay if it's innocent Palestinians instead?
Yes, Hamas strategy of endangering citizens is horrible. Does it give Israel blanket permission to just bomb densely populated civilian areas? Absolutely fucking not!
As opposed to "sacrifice child" which sounds ... Good?
