  • Germany passes law to legalize cannabis - the ninth country to do so

  • I’m a fan of the ‘speed bump’ for a lot of the same reasons, if nothing else than requiring a certain level of interest or effort beyond swiping a credit card. But I’d like to have a medical and/or compassionate carer exemption for non-recreation patients.

    I have enjoyed my time with the herb and agree that legalization is our best harm reduction route, but I’m not going to pretend it’s a net societal gain either - like you said look at how we treat alcohol and: cars, marketing, licensing, enforcement, child access, addiction, rehab industry, etc

  • Think of the range of uses that’ll get totally whitewashed and normalized

    • “We’ve added AI ‘chat seeders’ to help get posts initial traction with comments and voting”
    • “Certain issues and topics attract controversy, so we’re unveiling new tools for moderators to help ‘guide’ the conversation towards positive dialogue”
    • “To fight brigading, we’ve empowered our AI moderator to automatically shadow ban certain comments that violate our ToS & ToU.”
    • “With the newly added ‘Debate and Discussion’ feature, all users will see more high quality and well researched posts (powered by OpenAI)”

  • While it may have begun that way (and may still be the overwhelming use case, idk the breakdown) devs are using it for FOSS releases, and that’s where the ‘less literate’ crowd enters. Sourceforge was very simple to use, and had a consistent layout. GitHub wasn’t meat to be a SF replacement, but here we are having this discussion

  • Ukraine shoots down 4 Russian fighter jets in weekend killstreak, says air force chief

    Jump

  • Avdiikva is a big loss, but just like Bahkmut it was inevitable as long as Russia will throw away men and materiel into the meat grinder, whilst Ukraine values their soldiers lives

    They’ve made the Russians really pay for all their ‘big wins’ and ran a serious defense throughout, it was common to see 10+ Russian tanks and IFVs destroyed each day. The troop losses have been so numerous, that’s been hard to keep track of

  • sigh

    So the old trick of “search term +reddit” no longer will work then huh?

    I’ve already made a habit of adding date limiters to web results from before before LLMs were made public… The SEO ‘optimization’ game of before was bearable, but the LLM spam just ruins so many search results with regurgitated garbage or teaspoon deep information

  • Israel says its special forces are inside the largest hospital in southern Gaza.

    Jump

  • And I’ll repeat my assertion about proportional force. The missiles fired by militants are super ineffective even without the iron dome - inaccurate, limited payload and range, generally subpar explosive filler.

    If my house was bombed and my family hurt? Absolutely I’d be enraged and probably want revenge. But that’s no basis for national policy. Israel had broad public support as the more moral side, until they began a government policy of breaking the arms and fingers of Palestinian youth throwing stones. What you want to do, and what you should do often do not overlap:

    Defence Minister Yitzhak Rabin shifted the emphasis of repression away from the use of firearms in favour of physical intimidation and economic coercion to re-establish order. In the short term it was successful. He exhorted his troops to use 'might, power and beatings' to restore order." Soldiers armed with cudgels beat up those they could lay their hands on regardless of whether they were demonstrators, or not, breaking into homes by day and night, dragging men and women, young and old, from their beds to beat them. At Gaza's Shifa Hospital 200 people were treated during the first five days of the new policy

  • Ukraine’s Zelensky Signs Medical Marijuana Bill, A Step He Says Can Heal ‘Pain, Stress and Trauma Of War’ With Russia

  • Any photo of Zelenskyy in a suit, that’s his regular ol’ baby face from before Russia forced him to stare into the abyss of war. He didn’t blink, but his face today wears the scars of that trauma and stress

  • Unfortunately true, and we’re arming one side currently. I want no holy wars, but I definitely don’t want to be allied to a belligerent to one.

    Hadn’t heard of the Western Sahara case before, thanks for the reading 👍

  • I’m happy to answer legitimate questions, but you’re trying reeeeeal hard to paint a corner where you can eke out a ‘win’.

    International law is clear re: hospital/mosque/orphanage being used for military purpose, but laws <> morality. The law gives the a-okay to attack the building in use, morality is in complete conflict with that legal permission

  • It’s not a binary choice of “Attac Hamas” or “No attac Hamas” dude. I want Israel to use ✨proportional force ✨whilst respecting that Palestinian civilians have a right to exist, and actually restraining themselves beyond fig leaf efforts.

    The core objection is the how. Why the massively disproportionate force is encouraged by the IDF as its own ‘tool of terror’ to dissuade the population of those it fights against

    'We will wield disproportionate power against every village from which shots are fired on Israel, and cause immense damage and destruction. From our perspective, these are military bases... This isn't a suggestion. This is a plan that has already been authorized.'

  • If by ‘solved effectively by violence’ you mean ‘genocided’ or ‘ethnically cleansed’ then yes. Is that what you’re suggesting is proper and good?

  • It won't be perfect at keeping militants OUT of the camp, but it would help keep civilians AWAY from the fighting

    I’m not falling into the Nirvana fallacy. There will always be holdouts (people were living in Bahkmut during the siege, refusing to evacuate) but that doesn’t then give the IDF permission to throw up their hands and say “welp, we tried - bombs away” Shooting through a human shield is not a moral strategy, nor a long term strategy, and eventually you’ll apply that tactic against the people you’re trying to save, not just ‘enemy’ civilians

  • Dude just stop. You’re telling on your own ignorance with each post.

    Palestinians work in Israel

    Because there is no functioning economy in Gaza. And they require work permits, which are capriciously granted and withheld by Israel, until the militants threaten escalation. It’s such a regular cycle of escalate-to-deescalate that the behavior is expected by both sides. Militants get a chance to smuggle during the cross border movement, Israel gets intel on the newest crop of actors launching firebombs, while civilians on both sides suffer

    All borders are an ‘open air prison’

    This argument is so weak, literally any European, anyone who’s seen the US-Canada border, or the US-Mexico border for that matter, is living proof else wise. There’s massive walls and fences around all parts of Gaza, except the sea. Everywhere in and out is tightly controlled and searched, and an exhaustive list of ‘dual use’ items like medical supplies, building equipment, technology, etc are banned entry.

    Israel isn’t the one bombing

    Bruh.

  • It’s a long road for Northern Ireland, but it’s working right now, despite Brexit issues. The key difference is that the state recognized its role in perpetuating the cycle of violence, and chose to offer another route.

    There are a lot of parallels in that resistance struggle with Palestine, but while a good compromise leaves everyone upset today, your children get to grow up hearing bombs on TV, instead of their nightmares.
