This is such a brilliant idea. I love low tech solutions like this. The scope of the solution is temporary and not too broad in the grand scheme of things, but to the 10 villages that are currently being helped, it’s a big deal, and it’s low-cost and has low environmental impact.

It’s not in the article, it’s in the comment you were replying to. What am I missing?

That’s not outrage being directed at the perpetrator, it’s outrage being directed at an entire demographic of people of which the perpetrator happens to belong.

It said North Korean forces will prepare “all means of attack” capable of destroying the southern side of the border and the South Korean military, and respond without warning if South Korean drones are detected in its territory again.

This just sounds like preemptive justification for an attack. “Yes, we detected drones, therefore we started shelling. No, we can’t prove there were drones, but there definitely were, and this attack was definitely provoked.”

All that really needs to be said here.

Hey, look - it’s the latest in the long string of brand new accounts who only post about Gaza! I’m sure these are all legitimate new Lemmy users and not propaganda accounts.

Trump promised a dictatorship, so I don’t really think there’s any contest there.

This whole thing seems so weird. Why is Meta using the courts to enforce their ToS, anyway? Theoretically, the penalty for a user violating Meta’s terms would be Meta closing that user’s account. Unless the lawsuits are just frivolous scare tactics intended to drain the defendant’s resources…

Just need to scroll down, the content about white phosphorous is in there; OP just neglected to name the post the same as the article, so it’ll likely get removed.

This is the stupidest timeline. I hope in 30-50 years’ time, this is all explained in history textbooks as the catalyst for why the entire system was re-written from the ground up to root out and prevent corruption and cronyism, but I’m not holding my breath.

“During World War II, Churchill told the United States, ‘give us the tools, we’ll do the job.’ And I say, give us the tools and we’ll finish the job a lot faster,” Netanyahu said in the video.

Yeah, that’s what we’re afraid of, and exactly why we don’t want to give you the weapons.

We had one pandemic, yes…

But what about second pandemic?

“Hey, can you recommend a good free photoshop alternative?”

“DIE!”

Just like the good old Jraphics Interchange Format!

Plus as an added bonus we can have the ‘gif’ pronunciation disagreement!

His family feared he had been among an estimated 200,000 killed, or as many as 20,000 kidnapped, during the unrest.

It seems they were correct…

That said, I did make about an 800% return by investing (a small amount) in Dogecoin immediately after he tweeted that it was his favorite cryptocurrency that one time. Figured his fan club would pump it, and boy did they. I got it at about $0.05 and sold out at $0.40, believe it peaked at $0.58 or so. Wish I’d wagered more than the $250 I did on it.

I find this just so completely impossible to understand. At least with crimes like murder or burglary, I can understand where the motivation came from, but this? What could they possibly gain by doing this, other than the thrill of destroying something beautiful, or the knowledge that they’re making other people sad? How is that at all fulfilling?

I honestly feel that people who get their kicks from this sort of thing just have no place in modern society.

You encounter the merchant where you can buy the MTX stuff in the first few hours of the game. You can’t even use the majority of them before reaching that point.

I would honestly bet money that they’d designed the game to not have microtransactions, then some executive at the 11th hour told them to find a way to include them, and they made them inconsequential as a sort of malicious compliance. Not that I think it’s OK to have them in the first place, it really soured me on the game initially. I think it’s considerably worse for including them, but they are completely meaningless.

I love the framing “…that has the US worried”, as if better battery technology isn’t a win for consumers everywhere, and the only people who are ‘worried’ are US battery manufacturers who haven’t kept up with technological advances, and the government who want to keep encouraging US companies to not use (objectively better) batteries from China.

It sounds like the ‘worry’ is “Our technology is years behind a political rival, and people are starting to notice”.

If this is actually a bad thing for me, as a consumer, and I’m mis-reading the situation, please feel free to educate me.
