But how many civilians are they going to revive?

Hamas is not really a government at all though. They barely have any support in Gaza. Many years ago some election was held but there was only Hamas to choose from basically. I wouldn't call Hamas in any way representing anyone else but themselves, and not the Palestinian people. Maybe more rather their Arab sponsors.

Yeah I went to check and Wikipedia is linking the wayback machine's version of the guardian article. Fair enough.

Pussies too

What hitmen don't want you 🫵 to know!

Why doesn't Wikipedia have it?

That's the exact problem. Corporations aren't people. They might be run by people, but they are a concept of their own, that create a very twister social dynamic where the people that run them have certain feeling of obligation but also a sense of irresponsibility. Because the "corporation", or the embodiment of the abstract end of maximizing profit, takes responsibility for the employees'. Mostly culturally, but even in many ways legally too.

Maybe could have framed this "non-US TV shows". Now you're inviting the majority if users to just tell you their favorite US series 🤷

How about Cuba, then?

Tbh seriously, I think reading "PHP & MySQL in de praktijk" (PHP & MySQL in practice) must have had the most impact on my life. It definitely kickstarted my interest in programming.

Other than technical books, I thought "Testament Of Youth", about the 1st world was, was pretty profound.

I think it's mostly the uther lack of consideration for the locals at the time. Europeans went there with the explicit aim to "conquer" and loot a continent that was inhabited by dozens if not hundreds of societies. They went there, killed, raped and enslaved hundreds of thousands of people. Can't imagine to hear anyone defend that kind of behavior.

I doubt any of these examples have anything to do with reading comprehension problems..

It's dangerous to confuse a national identity with an ethnic one. But I grant you, it's nations who are at fault with claiming the terms and other ones by acknowledging them.

But aside from that (and I just wonder), is there such a thing as a Chinese ethnicity? I always imagined China was pretty diverse, ethnic-wise. With the northern mountain people, the coastal people the western people (I don't know names or terms) being quite different from one another.. Is that not true?

They are. There's a FOSS version of Telegram on f-droid.

I read the title as "saving cats from being slaughtered and sold as [...] meat".. When will police start heroically saving the millions of pigs or cows from being sold as whatever meat?

Exactly. The title read to me like "look at those good police saving the cars from being killed for meat". How about the millions of pigs that get slaughtered to be sold as pork meat. We don't care about them?

I'm trying to get your point. But a jew indicates a person of Jewish religion. In most dictionaries "Chinese" will mean "someone or something from China". I don't know what the word meant before the nation China arose or if there are ethnic meanings to it, but words mean what people understand them to mean, that's language, so Chinese kinda means "from China" today. That's why America now kinda means the country and democracy means republic or other form of majority-rule representative democracy 🤷 (the two lost words I miss the most)

Pigs are way way nicer animals than cars. Cats are evil and grumpy. A pig is cheerful and friendly

Hmm, I think many users just weren't aware. No everyone follows the main subreddits, or checks r/all. Not all subs closed. I guess the majority of users saw some stuff pass by but probably didn't read into it too much. You know, most people spent the majority of their awake time working to "make a living".
