  • Trump suggests Palestinians leave Gaza and ‘we just clean out’ territory

  • Yeah well see we talked to all the neighbors but they didn't want them so unfortunately some of them may have gotten in the way when we bulldozed the site ready to lay the foundations for the new condos. /s

  • I didn’t vote for genocide.

    Do you feel ok about that in the context of what's about to happen in Palestine?

  • It's genuinely saddening to see you're still here parroting these lines after the bots have long since packed up and gone home.

  • Can you elaborate?

    What about Trump's arrival / Biden's departure has enabled 900 aid trucks to start rolling into Gaza every day ?

  • It might be misleading to say they were the first out of Africa. I think there was 100,000 years or so between homo sapiens leaving Africa and arriving in Australia.

    Also I think they might have been able to walk due to lower sea levels at the time.

    Finally it's pretty likely that homo sapiens (in this case aboriginals) hunted mega fauna to extinction.

  • Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them?

    Jump

  • This isn't the reason.

    The switch is more likely to attract a toddlers attention. Some have little red lights even. It would be false sense of security at best. You can get those plastic blank plugs to stop your kid putting a fork in there.

    The switch is so, if you kid is being electrocuted by putting their fork in the toaster, you can turn it off at the wall without having to touch the electrified kid.

  • Diamonds lose their sparkle as prices come crashing down

  • Not really. They will pay you as little as they can get away with. Often that's the value of the metals.

  • Another aspect of this is that "natural" things like supplements are not usually "naturally occurring" but rather highly refined.

  • The U.S. just pledged hundreds of billions to protect its AI leadership. A Chinese startup with a ‘joke of a budget‘ may have already undercut those hopes

  • Well, I suspect that most of the money will be used to acquire or costume natural resources, like water and power.

  • While it's correct to say that wikipedia is not an "original" source, it's disingenuous and / or hyperbole to suggest that "it's a bunch of nerds creating a version of reality".

    The vast majority of hours invested into wikipedia are provided by volunteers who believe in the freedom of accurate, factual, unbiased information.

    Of course the quality or balance of information is threatened by bad actors, but significant resources are invested in mitigating that threat. This post is a great example of cautious, transparent editorial decisions.

    To everyone else it's just trolls getting banned.

  • Farm workers ditch work in fear of ICE raids as food prices set to soar

    Jump

  • This has always been a complex dynamic.

    For example, is it wrong for me to buy Tuna tinned in South East Asia? The people working there have few rights and are paid a pittance for their work. That said, it's a highly sought after job because the other jobs available in the area are far worse.

    Really we're talking about labor arbitrage. Whether or not the labor actually happens locally or in a foreign jurisdiction, laborers residing in a poorer jurisdiction are selling their labor to people in a wealthier one.

    I think the answer to whether or not it's "ok" is firstly a personal one, (maybe I'm ok with it while others aren't), but also dependent on the degree of difference.

    It might be ok to buy tinned Tuna from a company that invests in foreign communities and pays employees a living wage with good terms, but probably not ok to buy tinned Tuna from a company that chains employees to machines for 16 hours a day before allowing them to return to their cage-box.

    What I'm saying is, I'm ok with foreign workers being paid less provided that it's not exploitative, which is subjective.

  • The article basically says they will form a committee to investigate how to mitigate this type of problem.

    Even if it's a terrible idea economically (which it probably is), it may still have support from an ideological perspective, and that depends just how messed up federal politics becomes in the next 3 years.

    Brexit was really only purportedly economically motivated - it was really an ideological idea.

  • Just Stop Oil protester, 78, has jail term extended after no suitable tag found

    Jump

  • This is one of those nuanced positions that it appears Lemmy users are incapable of understanding.

    It's possible to simultaneously care about climate change and acknowledge that some protests are counter productive.

    If you'd said "I don't like to stop at the altar to pray for climate change action on my way to work because it seems pointless" that would've been a statement.

    I think the core problem is that the majority of people just don't care. The US just elected a president who will take no action. Protesting isn't going to make people care.

  • That guy Albanese is our PM which is similar to a president. His party is center left.

    Every year on Australia day we declare someone to be Australian of the year. She was that person in 2018. She was recognised for her advocacy of survivors of abuse.

    At that time we had a conservative government. Grace gave that cunt a wicked side eye.

    Anyhow, she was recently invited to some function with our current PM because she's so great, and he's not so terrible. She showed up with a shirt that says "fuck murdoch", referring to Rupert Murdoch, the guy that owns a bunch of media outlets and uses them to support conservative narratives.

    In summary, her shirt says something every left leaning voter (and the PM) want to say, but usually wouldn't in polite company. She obviously just doesn't give a fuck about that.
