  • There are significant differences between Gaza and Sudan though. We do have a better chance of stopping this one.

    With Gaza the genocidaires are a key US ally and consequently the US is aiding them and trying to block interventions by the UN and ICC.

    With Sudan neither of the belligerents are important to the US. The SAF is backed by Iran and its opponent the RSF/Janjaweed is nominally backed by United Emirates and also backed by warlords with ties to Wagner group.

    The RSF is militarily backed by the United Arab Emirates and has profited greatly from selling conflict gold to Dubai, Chad and Russia, which seeks a base on the Red Sea. The RSF has used genocidal violence and mass rape against non-Arab ethnic groups in Darfur and mass atrocities in other regions to gain territory. 

    The corruption-fueled Sudanese Armed Forces is backed by Egypt and Iran, with Iranian drones providing recent battlefield momentum. The SAF is dropping barrel bombs on urban neighborhoods, arresting and torturing Sudanese pro-democracy activists in ghost houses, and committing other grave rights violations.

  • Of course it's not. Nor do they want to.

    I think the person you're talking to thinks all bots are like the easy ones in this screenshot.

  • The low level bots in OPs screenshot, sure, because it's identical. Not the rest.

    I used to hunt bots on reddit for a hobby and give the results to Bot Defense.

    Some of them use rewrites of comments with key words or phrases changed to other words or phrases from a thesaurus to avoid detection. Some of them combine elements from 2 comments to avoid detection. Some of them post generic comments like 💯. Doubtless there are some using AI rewrites of comments now.

    My thought process is if generic bots have been allowed to go so rampant they fill entire threads that's an indication of how bad the more sophisticated bot problem has become.

    And I think @phdepressed is right, no one at reddit is going to hunt these sophisticated bots because they inflate numbers. Part of killing the API use was to kill bot detection after all.

  • They also use them in groups of 3 to lure people to malicious sites and scam sites. Especially fake merchandise sites.

  • This guy is a hero. When people hear there was rape in war a lot of them don't really understand what that entails.

    In his Nobel lecture, he talked about the first patients admitted to the hospital. One had been raped and shot in her genitals; another was an 18-month-old baby horrifically injured by rape.

    “The macabre violence knew no limit,” he said at the time. That violence has never stopped. Every day, between five and seven new survivors of rape come through the doors of the hospital.

  • Minerals from the DRC are being mined in govt-backed mines supported by Russian mercenaries.

    The Rwanda-funder M23 however are invading DRC over the border, stealing them and then on-selling from Rwanda.

    So'it's a whole extra can of worms.

  • Doubt it, they are interwoven into almost any conversation with more than 70 comments.

  • Odd thing to focus on.

    Anyway neither of you are going to get your way with this because the abusive teachers in this story were never even fired let alone facing criminal charges.

  • What a horrpr show, and now some of the victims have grown up and are self harming.

    The leaked documents describe a staff member pinning him up against the wall of a room and hitting him with such force his body is recorded as "jolting" before he then becomes unsteady on his feet.

    The external consultant found that the incident constituted proven physical abuse and said the teacher had shown no remorse or concern for Ashley's welfare when interviewed, suggesting a "potential absence of learning".

    More like an obvious absence of basic humanity. Those teachers should never have been allowed to stay on, they are sociopathic.

  • It's more subtle than this:

    The new port sits southwest of Gaza City and a bit north of a road bisecting Gaza that the Israeli military built during the current war against Hamas... Now Israeli military positions are on either side of the port...

    In other words they are going to act as a bottleneck the same way they do for the road crossings.

    Meanwhile humanitarian NGOs are all saying the worst famine is in the North. It's obvious this is just a PR exercise.

  • This is quite an interesting outcome:

    According to several media reports, there have also been closures of several McDonalds and Starbucks outlets in Malaysia.

    These popular chains have been experiencing a slowdown in business as a result of boycotts against US-linked companies linked to the country’s stance in the Israel-Hamas war.

    “KFC is not on the (Palestinian-led movement) BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) list of targeted companies. But many Malaysians see any American fast-food operator to be related to Israel including KFC,” said Professor Mohd Nazari Ismail, chairman of pro-Palestinian group Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions Malaysia, quoted in regional media.

  • Yeah, I think it's going to get much much worse than the current situation, which is already terrible.

  • It's bad enough that they won't join the ICC let alone actively working to undermine it.

  • Yeah this is why I never let other people use my tiktok, ten minutes and they wreck the algorithm.

    If you just search option find proper content, follow that, then block/not interested any kids or kinetic sand and shit in fyp, it will change and never show you it again, it learns way faster than youtube.

  • The text is poorly organized, the map is faster.

  • Pretty sure people protesting in the US are trying to influence the US govt.

  • Lol it's what the algorithm thinks you want. It goes by what you watch right through, not just what you actually upvote.
