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

  • I agree overall, and that was exactly my point with, "history of this behavior towards Palistine". Its also why I felt the need to specify that Israel is killing civilians outside of when Hamas hides behind them. Israel is not a "good guy" here, and their misdeeds are what spurred this on.

    My point was on negotiating with terrorists, once they've already turned to violence. If it gets to the point of terrorism, its a lot harder to just let individuals involved walk free. Hamas will just keep trying to kill people, and keep hiding behind civilians, continuing to cost lives.

    Again, I agree overall, but even if Israel withdraws from Palistine, walks back all their oppresive policies and agrees to start cracking down on mistreatment from individual Israelis, Hamas won't just disolve overnight nor will radicalized individuals immediately put down their arms. Its a process that takes decades (likely longer given how long and how intensely Israel has been oppressing Palistine), which doesn't help when you're deciding whether or not to shoot the terrorist with a hostage.

  • I'm not sure what is reportable there. Im literally saying civilian deaths should be minimized. Is it because I'm acknowledging Israel has repeatedly targeted civilians?

  • Unfortunately, its not that simple. Hamas is a terrorist organization that activly targets civilians, often over military targets. Killing them sooner, as well as helping end the war, protects civilian lives. Its a terrible calculus, but when you're fighting an organization that has no respect for law, nor human rights then thats what happens. You kill them, or you let them continue to kill civilians and millitary personal alike.

    That said, saying that Israel is just doing this because Hamas is using civilians as a sheild is giving Israel way too much credit. They have repeatedly been caught shooting unarmed and fleeing civilians, targeting refugees, and they have a long history of this treatment towards Palistinians. Israel is almost as willing to kill civilians as Hamas, and actually have the weapons to do so.

    $9 million stolen by corrupt Nigerian officials

  • The Royal Court granted the application on Friday and the funds will now be returned to Nigeria.

    Where it will immediately be stolen again.

  • Tl;dr: The recent 7.6 magnitude earthquake was slightly beyond the rated limits of one plant but the plant wasn't running, and there was no damage done.

  • TomSka's Guide To Plagiarism (The Somerton Scale)

    Jump

  • The term was invented and popularized by file-sharers whose copyright indifference was frequently termed "stealing" - when it has little in common with theft of a physical object.

    I could be wrong, but I thought the modern use of the term was coined and mostly popularized by Brady Haran (of Numberphile) and other YouTube creators, primarily using it to describe news sites taking and re-uploading their content. Still not usually claiming ownership, though.

  • Valve lures thousands of Dota cheaters into bans with fake Christmas presents as it declares 'this year is gonna be a bloodbath'

    Jump

  • Im not sure what you're advocating then? A simplified "New Player Mode"? That already exists. Unranked mode? That exists too. SBMM? Already present. Or are you saying we need to tie accounts to people's SSNs or something to prevent smurfing, because even ignoring account sharing, theres no way at all that that would backfire. As long as there are people to bully, someone will go out of their way to try and put others down to make themselves feel better. At least in DotA, they try and address it with fairly in-depth behaviour systems, unlike every other competitive game.

  • It sounds like you just don't like the idea of skill-based or team-based games. Plenty of people do. Its not an excuse to ruin it for others through smurfing, or to take it away from those who do enjoy the games.

  • Its effectively unlimited trialware, like WinRar. Its provided free and has no payment verification, but if you use it regularly, you're expected to pay the approximately $10 price tag.

  • Its a somewhat more story and gameplay focused than Cookie Clicker, but still pretty chill. I won't say too much more, considering that it'd just spoil the fun of discovery.

  • On the topic of idle games, Cookie Clicker and A Dark Room still hold up well.
