  • Experts Say Israel's 'Booby-Trap' Attacks in Lebanon Violate International Law

    Jump

  • Taking hostages is also against international law, which both Hamas and the houthis have done

    https://treaties.un.org/doc/db/terrorism/english-18-5.pdf

    International Convention against the taking of hostages. Adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 17 December 1979

    Considering that the taking of hostages is an offence of grave concern to the international community and that, in accordance with the provisions of this Convention, any person committing an act of hostage taking shall either be prosecuted or extradited,

    Obligatory fuck the IDF and Bibi as well as Hamas and the Houthis, but you’re not saying much by stating it’s against international law. Both sides (lmao, this isn’t a literal both-sides argument) are in violation of international law. Everyone knows it doesn’t mean shit unfortunately.

  • now with it turning out the Democrats and Republicans are traitors to the Republic

    excuse me? Please point us to the D traitors. If you're talking about the two assassination attempts, one was from a maga family and spoke heavily of maga support in school and the other voted for T in 2016 and has made political donations to both R and D, in addition to being very clearly mentally ill.

    Where are the Ds stealing and refusing to give back the most confidential docs possible (such as our nuclear sub capabilities and numbers....), where are the Ds deciding they don't like election results and spread lies about cheating whilst losing 50+ court cases (some of which appointed by T or R party) because all of them had no standing/evidence. Where are the Ds interrupting the peaceful transfer of power for the first time ever in the history of the nation? Where are the Ds spreading hateful lies about certain minority groups acting like animals and eating other people's pets? Where are the Ds who continue to rape and defame women while trying to take away their bodily autonomy so they can bleed out in the parkinglot while the doctor waits for the legal window where they can actually try to keep the pregnant miscarrying woman alive?

    ah right, those are all REPUBLICAN traitors. FUCK off with your both-sides strawman bullshit, fascist bootlicker.

  • Major companies abandon an LGBTQ+ rights report card after facing anti-diversity backlash

    Jump

  • Seriously.... Who gives a fuck if a good thing is being done because it makes someone money vs making someone happy? At the end of the day, the good thing happened. That's a win. We live in a capitalist society, this should be a very common concept good or not.

    Like seriously, who gives a shit if rainbow capitalism was for making money? It absolutely helped at least some (if not many) people feel seen and accepted.

    "I would take this vaccine but someone created it because it would make them money so I'm critical"

    In what world does that make sense??? As long as you understand WHY they do what they do (thus keeping yourself from being convinced they actually do care lmao), then its all good and take advantage of the good thing as it happens.

  • There is, I just saw a post trying to demonize Mozilla simply because they had a few job listings for AI and Ad managers and the take away in the post itself was like "I see they have fully pointed the ship towards a future of AI and Ads", like are you serious??? A few job listings is enough to paint the entire future of the company lol

  • Jill Stein Is Killing the Green Party

    Jump

  • this post is about Stein and the Green party, nobody asked for your literal whataboutism. Shows just how effective geekwithsoul's comment is that you couldn't muster a single word in response and instead turned to "b-b-b-but democrats!!!!!!"

    That last sentence with 'blue maga' says everything about what you support, no surprise all you have are whatabouts.

    how many Ds have eaten with Putin personally btw?

  • Ukrainian drone attack triggers huge blasts at Russian ammo depot

    Jump

  • According to various sources, Ukraine attacked an ammunition depot in the city of Toropets of Tver region, with more than 100 UAVs last night. The explosion occurred in an area where "Tochka-U" and "Iskander" missile systems were located. Residents are being relocated to the neighboring town of Western Dvina, where kindergartens and schools have also been shut down.

    I've also heard that the losses may potentially also include S300 missiles, grad rockets, and the recently delivered Iranian SRBMs

  • This is just AI fear mongering. There is no meme here.

    the underlying purpose to AI

    Say no more, nothing valuable can follow this set up.

    Like seriously, are we to believe that AIs purpose of existence is just one singular thing?? You could say the almost or not the same bullshit about computers or even machines in general or anything else that shifts the dynamic of where labor is needed.

    “AI only exists so wealth can steal from you!!!!!” It’s like those lies people would throw around to create fear like fascists do with minority groups.

    Like bro, the wealthy are already stealing from us this doesn’t move the needle a cm. At the same time AI can be a huge help to disabled and elderly, how does that fit into the ultimate purpose of the wealthy removing skilled workers access to wealth.

    This shit is a fever dream of weird propaganda

  • Millions have amnesia about the worst of Trump's presidency. Memory experts explain why.

  • Waking up everyday wondering what batshit crazy thing he had either just said or was going to say that day. It was exhausting.

    For you? Yeah it was exhausting, you poor piece of shit. For the media? It was the best goddamn four years of their lives. Every morning the people would rush to see what insane shit he did that day and the news media farmed the FUCK outta them clicks.

    Not that the CBS executive chairman and CEO might vote for the Republican presidential frontrunner, but he likes the ad money Trump and his competitors are bringing to the network.

    “It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS,” he said of the presidential race.

    Moonves called the campaign for president a “circus” full of “bomb throwing,” and he hopes it continues.

    “Most of the ads are not about issues. They’re sort of like the debates,” he said.

    “Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? … The money’s rolling in and this is fun,” he said.

Far too many cowards too scared to do their job and hold powerful people accountable, which leaves a disturbing amount of judges to be opportunistic corrupted assholes that enrich themselves by enabling and protecting fascist resources.

  • straphangers

    What the hell, I've NEVER heard or read this word in my entire life.

    The first known use of straphanger was in 1896. Defined as a standing passenger in a subway, streetcar, bus, or train who clings for support to one of the short straps or similar devices placed along the aisle

    I guess that might explain part of that... but I'm seeing consisntent uses from merriam webster's recent examples on the web for the word.

    Strangely enough there is a military alternative definition:

    "Straphanger" seems to have a different, and negative connotation in current US military parlance. Since this is a militarily-oriented movie, it is probably the definition that applies.

    In an article unrelated to Zero Dark Thirty, I found a reference to strap hangers.

     
            "We have a saying in the SEAL Teams about the 90-10 rule. It goes: 90% of the guys that make it through Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training are solid Operators and go on to do great things. The other 10% are constantly bringing the community and their team down. We are always trying to cull the 10% out of the herd. In the military these guys are commonly referred to as “strap hangers”....grabbing at the straps of the good men that participated in this operation."
