  • Lie about what? Nothing in the article contradicts what I've said. Even if you buy the bit about Israel firing "warning shots" after the panic had already started, they still created this entire situation to begin with. They starved those people then tossed in some scraps and shot at them when they reacted pretty much exactly how any rational person would expect. It doesn't fucking matter if most of the bodies don't have IDF bullets lodged in them. They killed them all the same.

  • Are you suggesting that an anxious crowd devolving into a panic is improved by the addition of weapons fire?

  • could you explain to me how the anxious, starving crowd of people trying to reach aid "started" it?

  • If someone opens fire at people in a crowded building and causes a crowd crush that kills dozens of people, do you blame the crowd or the dude who started mowing people down? Israel murdered those people by creating that situation regardless of the precise circumstances of their deaths.

  • The criteria for genocide is not "kill a percentage of a population larger than the percentage that died in the US Civil War". There's no minimum requirement for per-capita death. It's about intent and action. They are trying to kill or displace everyone in Gaza. How good they are at it isn't relevant, it is still genocide.

  • If only any of these convenient roadblocks and excuses could have stopped him from repeatedly funding and supporting genocide.

  • Where do you think it falls short in the definition of genocide: "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group."?

  • Hope this goes better than when they tried to stop MS from buying up Activision Blizzard.

  • My bad. That’s what I get for trusting what google plastered at the top of the results page. With that number figured in, Biden is just 3x worse.

  • If you want to do this gross tragedy Olympics shit you should at least consider that there are around 600k people in Gaza and over 300 million in America.

    To make this argument honestly, you should either normalize the numbers against population (spoiler Biden is about 10x worse this way) or compare all the deaths worldwide that could be traced to either one. I suggest you actually do neither of those.

  • They don’t care what it wants. They care how they can frame what they want to seem like what it wants. What they want is pretty clearly spelled out here: more babies.

  • the businesses themselves aren't renting property out, no. the shareholders and executives who run the companies and hand down these decisions, however, are frequently invested in real estate.

  • The goal was not to improve company financials. It's to justify paying rent to corporate real estate holders so the people who get rich from owning property don't lose their infinite free money exploit.

  • Are you Israeli? I ask because you only took the parts of my comment you wanted then got mad at me about it. Or maybe all Israelis are “overly sensitive”

  • Never heard of WcDonalds before but doesn't this kind of fuck over anyone who wants to use WcDonalds as a trademark-free McDonalds stand-in going forward? I assume the stuff that already exists is protected as "prior art" or something similar.

  • “The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that affirmative action is a violation of the 14th Amendment and we believe the same reasoning will eventually be applied to the CROWN Act,” he [Barbers Hill Independent School District Superintendent] said.

    from the article. they'll probably try to take this to the supreme court and get it overturned.

  • You're not entirely wrong. It's more like a series of multi-dimensional maps with hundreds or thousands of true/false pathways stacked on top of each other, then carved into by training until it takes on a shape that produces the 'correct' output from your inputs.

  • Dems: If we speed up the trolley people will suffer for less time while it's running them over! They won't have to agonize as long while the trolley approaches to snuff out their life! Progress!

    GOP: Surely more people on the track means more profit! Can we start stacking them up to fit more?
