  • Yeah the point of interest here is it's a step closer to a BRICS currency.

  • Yeah. Reports have been coming out of Sde Teiman for a while now. It's Israel's Abu Ghraib for sure, only with a lot more amputation.

    Especially chilling that they hold so many doctors from the Gaza hospitals in there. Imagine being a trained medical doctor and having to see the Israeli interns do this to people.

  • If the US would withdraw protection the rest of the international community could probably make more meaningful interventions in the genocide.

  • I've noticed it too but I don't think it's only because of the exodus.

    I think it's also because by removing mod tools and opening the floodgates for bots, Reddit has enabled all kinds of vote manipulation and content manipulation by all the shill armies.

    Everything from the Hasbara, the 50 centers, Putin's troll farm, Musk's troll farm, whatever Zucc runs that used to come and sealion me anytime I talked about facebook's role in genocide ... all those things have come into their full power now.

  • Really? That's so interesting, and a bit disappointing.

    I'm still on kbin so I can't see downvotes from other instances, only our own. So most downvotes for me indicate actual spam.

  • That usrname tho. What you just said hits different.

  • Not everyone is turning a blind eye. South Africa and Nicaragua are complaining to the international courts and some other presidents like Lula and Petro are denouncing it.

  • Probably the 1840s in use. Ruins probably go back to the 13th century or thereabouts but they are no longer buildings..

  • Smart contact lenses and also smart built-in lenses that work like cataract surgery lenses.

    These are given away free and basically make traditional optometry have to change to a lower volume higher cost model. We also outlaw lasik on the grounds that it is more dangerous than smart lense implants.

    The smart lenses track you and interact with personalised location specific advertiser content at each surveillance point, allowing them to show ads directly to your retina.

  • @JetpackJackson this community had a thread on them last week, scroll a bit and you'll soon see it.

  • As a late gen x/"xennial" myself I've noticed there's proportionally more of us here than on other social media.

    Tends to be left of centre even without factoring in the communistanarchistsocialist nexus, but also wider political range.

    Tends to skew STEM.

    Loves cats as much as the rest of the internet but proportionally loves FOSS more.

    Strong rainbow presence.

  • That's the perspective I need. Clicked follow.

  • No, it's really not necessarily what it looks like at all, though you could be forgiven for thinking it. I think perhaps this is the difference between those who focus on this issue because they're interested in Israel, versus those who focus on it mainly because they're interested in human rights.

    You could blindly drop a bomb quite literally anywhere

    Blindly dropping bombs on densely populated areas is a war crime.

    Yes, killing this many people this fast is a consequence of the choices the IDF is making. No, they are not inevitable choices.

    For instance, in its entire war against Islamic State the US dropped just one 2,000lb bomb. Israel is dropping hundreds of them.

    Roof knocking and leaflets are a fig leaf - a fiction with the aim of avoiding international condemnation, a bit like the peculiar interpretations of "occupying force" and international law we see from them.

    I've seen footage of those leaflets raining down on innocent people in Gaza, the panic and despair. It's not humanitarian at all. Ironically some of the people best equipped to get away in time are Hamas fighters, which is probably why the IDF uses "Where's Daddy" to kill suspected Hamas leaders when they are at home.

    continue with their plan

    Israeli politicians and public figures have been pretty clear in their national discourse about what their plans are. I don't think we need to speculate further than that.

  • I think it's the first in Ireland. It's a well respected university so very encouraging.

  • This "warning them beforehand" fig leaf only works if you think of everyone as fit healthy and mobile.

    Anyone with disabled people, chronically ill people, terminally ill people and elderly people in their own lives knows it's not that simple.

    Most of us don't have people physically weakened by famine in our own lives but it doesn't take Einstein to know this is a problem too. And from NGOs we know there's a lot of parentless children and a disproportionate number of child amputees in the mix as well.

    If your response to this many civillians being killed is "it's their fault for not getting away" you need to examine your logic, I think.

  • P.S you have to scroll back 6 months fo start seeing all the posts that aren't me.

  • Hey, neat! Thank you! It's an "imagination engine" - the original mod @Arotrios kbin.social wrote a detailed description here.

    I never really fully got my head around it but it seems to be a combination of art, poetry, music, cinema, mythology, etc and a lot of the posts in it bounce off other posts in it.

    I don't think Lemmy uses hashtags but it still gives you an idea:
    13thfloor #cinemainsomnia #oddradio #poetry #magic #imagination #storytelling #music #history #mythology #archaelogy #art #fiction #writing #environment #physics #magick #cinema #books #literature

  • Ah, that makes more sense if it was meant for small44. The only reason I thought your numbers were out was because I thought you were talking to me about my communities.

    Geez, that’s… not good

    It's not ideal, and kbin did fork. In my opinion it was not the dev's fault, it wasn't even really a beta when he suddenly got swamped with reddit refugees. But I believe in his vision.
