Israel was created by UN resolution 181

This one?

What exactly is justice in context of a war?

Whoever wins.

The war will end when there are no sides left.

Which is... either when everyone decides to put their differences aside... or when the last man standing finally dies, all tales get forgotten, and all written records destroyed, so nobody can ever pick any of the sides again. They'll likely pick a different set of sides again, but that will be a different war 🤷

Based on known human history, the last time Humans stopped a genocide... was when we ate the last Neanderthal.

"BET NOW, real-time observation and casino by Pluto Corp"...

🤷

All photos, videos, audio recordings, and testimonies, can be faked, manipulated or be a lie. What's "credible" at this point?

Some outlets published a video of that missile, with a trail coming from inside Gaza. Some have published the IDF's photos with missile trajectories on them. Some have shown air photos of cars blocking the road "from North to South" Gaza. Some have published videos of missile impacts in the South. Some people have claimed to have gone South, only to get bombed and run back North.

This is war.

In the Ukrainian war, we still don't have a credible source as to who blew up Nord Stream, and that's been over a year ago already.

Credible? No:

• October 26, 2023 - IDF releases recording of Gazan saying Hamas shooting at people trying to flee south

Other sources have been saying the same for a couple weeks, but no, nothing credible.

Seems like some people heard it loud and clear... and invested accordingly.

False.

My statement is about the relationship between sides, in reference to part of the previous comment, illustrated by what I recalled of a recent event, and how it ties into it.

If you want similar examples from different sides, you'll find plenty of them both these days and throughout history, I just happened to recall this one.

I have the opposite happen to me with Chinese, like I know 危高电压 means "danger high electric pressure (voltage)", but have no idea how to sound it out. Dysfunctional literacy? 😄

But us onlookers can't even know for sure what these frictions are, only speculate.

I've looked at an interview with an Israeli political sciences professor yesterday, that went something like this:

• Professor: "...and this is why countries like Israel have the right to defend themselves"
• Host: "Right. What about the Pales..."
• Professor: "That's not an issue"
• Host: "There are civilian..."
• Professor: "Israeli civilians have been harmed and we need to respond"
• Host: "Is the response proportion..."
• Professor: "Respond to destroy the terrorists"
• Host: "It seems like Gaza population is.."
• Professor: "Gaza is Israel, there is no population, we need to rid it of terrorists"

As an onlooker, I'd say that is a FREAKING HUGE and obvious "friction", when one side denies the existence of the other.

The US never negotiates with "terrorists", they fund "freedom fighters" to kill the terrorists and maybe recover some of the hostages.

Hamas likely wanted to force a confrontation in order to make it abundantly clear who's paying for which "freedom fighters"... even if everyone knew for a long time, did very little about it, and is likely to do very little more either way.

If it's in perfect condition, and they valued it based on second hand retrocomputing market prices... probably a nice chunk of cash.

"Terrorists" are the bad guys, you want "freedom fighters" (fighting for your freedoms, of course).

Wonder how many illiterate people know the word "illiterate"... 🤔

He's likely when they catch him.

The desperate dog will find out, that the trained dog with guns who's got promised a place where to survive, only cares about having enough bullets.

...we're starting to see it already.

"The source code is the real manual" 🧘

The source code: 🍝

recommend for a lifelong windows user to try out Linux?

Try out, what of Linux?

• Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 - you get the full command line 🔧, and can kind of run some desktops. Thanks to HyperX, it runs in a "sister" VM to Windows, so zero performance penalty (compared to Windows). Easiest, fastest, not necessarily the best.
• Cygwin - no Linux kernel, just userland software, that is command line, some desktop, some software. Quick to start 🐇, but somewhat limited.
• OSBoxes - pick any distro, download a preinstalled image, fire it up in either VirtualBox or VMware. Great for a quick first contact. Great to mess things up and not care 💥, including if you try to manually rebuild the kernel and it refuses to boot. Hardware is partially emulated, so not 100% like the real thing, but it comes really close. But look at the beautiful desktops! Pretty pictures! 🤩 (this is what most people think they want, judging by most distro reviews and comparisons).
• Android - it's Linux, it lacks most of the userland but it can be added (see Termux), and you're likely to find a cheap smartphone/tablet to mess with.
• Cloud virtual private server / Bare hardware hosting - if you're going to mess up a system, why mess up your own? Rent a cheap option, and mess it up.
• THE MAXIMUM GAMING PERFORMANCE 🚀 - ...try some of the previous ones first, you'll need the experience. Then look into how to dual-boot, or better yet, get a second PC and install your favorite Linux distro (which you'll know which one it is by now) as the only OS. Tweak, fix, patch, etc. until your eyes bleed out, and you get those extra 2 fps you never knew you needed to make your life complete!
• ROCK SOLID WORKHORSE 💪 - try all the above, then pick two distros: dual boot, mess the partitions, recover them, go into one distro, login as root and delete half the files at random, shut down the computer, power it up and recover the messed up distro from the second working one without reinstalling, reboot again into the first distro, "upgrade" it to the second one without reinstalling, clean it up so it looks like it was freshly installed... then delete it, reinstall, and see what you should have backed up in order not to lose stuff, make your backup, delete the distro, recover from backup. Practice until you lose zero data in the process, now automate the process. Finally, install and fully customize Gentoo. After that... whatever you pick, you'll be fine 🙂

Aaaand... banned until you can form coherent speech.

(This has to be the weirdest ban I've seen in a long time)

I have pendrives that look almost like that.
