That’s not what they mean when they say “western culture”

It’s not as if the Jewish view of homosexuality is significantly different from Islam’s. If the only proof they have of anti queer sentiment comes from there fact that there are radical Islamists among them then that same brush could be used to paint Israel just as easily.

That’s a more coherent argument I suppose but it’s a pretty racist one. There’s no shortage of Christian majority nations where homosexuality is criminalized. Would the people making that argument feel the same way about Ukraine for example?

@underisk@lemmy.ml avatar

Apologies I didn’t mean to imply you were supporting the argument. I could have phrased it better to make that clearer.

underisk ,
@underisk@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s a Christian majority though, which is in line with the argument as presented.

underisk ,
@underisk@lemmy.ml avatar

The argument is “Muslim majority countries tend to criminalize homosexuality so you shouldn’t support Palestine because it’s likely to do the same”. The current state of gay rights there isn’t relevant to the argument and not what I’m trying to draw a parallel to with the comparison.

Maybe that’s the one you want to make but it’s not the one I was commenting on.

If you want to discuss that go right ahead. I have not made any claim that contradicts that and have no interest in arguing against it. I suggest you do so with someone who has and does.

I have never claimed that they weren’t those things. You are arguing against what you want me to say, rather than what i actually wrote.

US slaps sanctions on Tsav 9, Israeli group targeting humanitarian aid to Gaza ( forward.com )

For months, Tsav 9 activists have organized to block convoys, harass aid workers and damage aid trucks as well as goods meant to alleviate pervasive hunger and suffering in Gaza. The group’s name means Order 9 in Hebrew, a reference to the military’s order calling up reservists....

The last time they sanctioned Israelis it was like 4 individuals and they walked it back almost immediately. This shit only exists for the headline and will disappear until some reply guy throws it in a giant list of Biden’s “accomplishments” that they will post whenever someone suggests Biden isn’t doing shit to help Gaza.

My step mother is dying and the day she was diagnosed with a seizure causing condition they informed her they would call the DMV to let them know she shouldn’t be driving. I don’t know if they revoked it but they certainly implied that something was done that would cause her trouble if she got caught driving. Maybe they lied about it though, to scare her off driving, idk.

Putin is garbage and I will celebrate the day he dies.

I've yet to encounter anyone defending Putin, but I've sure seen plenty of people try to twist criticisms of Ukraine and NATO's involvement with it into accusations of being a Putin-loving Russian disinformation bot. At least we get to squabble like idiots over foreign policy we have no influence over rather than find common ground over the remaining 90% of politics we probably have in common (and also have no influence over).

underisk ,
@underisk@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t doubt that Putin defenders exist, though, just that they’re prominent enough to warrant near daily memes about how stupid tankies are ruining everything. Surely the bigger threat to the shared objectives of left wing politics is infighting.

Trump is soundly leading Biden in several polls and is overall 5 points ahead of Biden. There, the entire article fit into a sentence.

This is only surprising if you thought that Trump supporters cared about the felony convictions or if you thought Biden’s eager support of genocide wasn’t going to alienate a large portion of his base.

If eighty percent support a fine I wonder how many would support something with actual teeth to it like prison time or government seizure.

I'm finding it hard to find any useful statistics for sentencing on the specific crime he did. Do you have any way to back up that claim about the penalty being disproportionate? All I can find is sentencing guidelines that seem to be pretty much written into the law so those would apply to everyone.

Sure that’s good but also extremely insubstantial in a mildly frustrating way. At least start from urging for a ban on the oil products themselves rather than having already talked yourself down to what amounts to pissing on a forest fire.

I’m saying these first steps are too little, too late, though. We should be past this point by now. We banned advertising tobacco over 50 years ago, and we don’t have another 50 years to work with on climate.

The stances we take and the actions we push for should be reflective of the urgency this situation merits.

It’s not as math heavy these days. Plenty of software out there that does most lot of the heavy lifting in that department. They can probably find someone willing to take their money to train an AI on Fox News transcripts or whatever but who cares; they aren’t going to gain any serious political win from running a glorified chatbot that insists there are only two genders.

making it a per-profile settings does not exclude making it available per-device or per-visit. it's not especially difficult to store a flag in localStorage or a cookie. hell, you can even use CSS to detect OS dark mode preference settings and have it change automatically with no user input at all.

They wouldn’t fight the landlords because a lot of them are landlords.

They would simply lobby to have the law repealed or, more likely, vetoed before passing. Failing that, they would exploit every loophole and edge case to take advantage of it and cry to lawmakers and voters that the law is the problem rather than their circumvention of it.

gay and minority people are not any more or less political than straight white men. representing them in games is not inherently politically motivated. there are plenty of people complaining about good games in these terms, so you're not really addressing what they're mocking here.

if you want to talk about rainbow capitalism and diversity marketing bullshit we can go there, but that doesn't seem to be the point you're making here.

Ok but did they spin up their own shirt printing company in another country using one third of their investment money to print them or did they just pay a shirt printing service that already existed at a bulk discount rate?

Three missiles. Staggered so that survivors of each one could collect in remaining vehicles from the convoy. They had pre approval from the IDF and had provided their itinerary. Deliberate, calculated, and fucking criminal.

How many Israeli civilians are starving or dead? How is Hamas’ blockade of Israel going? How much US aid has Hamas stopped from entering Israel?

Don’t “both sides” a genocide you fucking clown.

underisk ,
@underisk@lemmy.ml avatar

The morality of one side of the other is entirely fucking irrelevant. One side is doing a genocide. Period. They should stop. Immediately. Nothing, absolutely nothing in the entire fucking world justifies starving an entire population, relentlessly bombing civilians, turning hospitals into rubble, killing aid workers, killing journalists, and leveling houses, cities, and infrastructure.

Go to hell you fucking idiot.

They did it to try to broaden the conflict in hopes of drawing in direct military support from their western allies.

This graphic literally includes three more people aside from Pelosi. it is doing the opposite of what you're frustrated about. it would be more bizarre if it didn't list the congressperson who is most notable for profiting from insider trading.

people do pay for discord though. that was the entire justification for Nitro and Server Boosts. they made $440 million in revenue in 2022. they aren't publicly traded so there's no way to compare that with expenses, but i'd be pretty surprised if they weren't turning a significant profit.

Should probably add that Israel propped up Hamas specifically because they made for a more unsympathetic enemy than the more moderate groups in the region.

he was using a singapore VPN and had access to multiple sockpuppets. we know literally nothing else about them and anything you've heard to the contrary is baseless rumor.

leading theory is that it was a state-sponsored actor, but frankly even that much is speculation and which state is still way up in the air.

underisk ,
@underisk@lemmy.ml avatar

we know about the singapore VPN because they connected to IRC on libera chat with it. the only reason I can think people would believe they're from hong kong is because of the pseudonym they used, but it's not like that proves anything.

I don't foresee anyone with the kind of data needed to do more investigation releasing it to the public, so I doubt we're going to be getting any satisfying answers to this. Microsoft may have an internal team combing through github logs, but if they find anything they're unlikely to be sharing it with anyone but law enforcement agencies.

nothing on this page mentions anything about Ozempic, semaglutide, or the amounts of funding received. the closest thing is a list of current diabetes research projects with, again, no amounts listed and no clear relation to ozempic.
