  • Israel walks back its account of the killing of 15 medics in Gaza after video seems to contradict it

  • The reason they give for shooting ambulances is that Hamas has used ambulances to move soldiers.

    If you were calling Israel hypocrites you should have added something to the end of this sentence because it reads like you're saying Hamas did it and then attempted to provide an example. Text based sarcasm requires a bit more effort if you don't want to be misunderstood.

  • That is a way better example than I was planning on using if this kept going thanks

  • In scenarios such as this, its better to spread the word about the original intention of the phrase, rather than blaming it.

    Good news don't travel so fast. Changing the term to something harder to make derogatory would be a much better solution.

  • No, why do you think that is the case? Most wages are paid out based on what the market fr that job pays not based on whether it is skilled or unskilled. My brother makes more in sales (unskilled) than my buddy who is a neurosurgeon.

    Because I've heard people use it as an excuse for why minimum wage shouldn't cover bills and they vote accordingly. Language matters.

    It’s scientific jargon. If you are having an emotional response to it that’s not the fault if the field.

    Scientific jargon can and has changed to better represent what they're talking about no reason this can't either unless that makes some people too... emotional.

  • It's an emotional response to point out how a word has been used to keep people from being paid what they're worth? I think it's an emotional response to cling so hard to a word that could very easily be changed and hurt no one.

  • Just because it's a term you learned in school doesn't mean it's not used to hold people back. The term is used to imply that people who aren't skilled don't deserve a living wage and lots of voters fall for it and push the narrative that if you flip burgers you don't deserve to pay rent on time and go to the movies on the same month.

  • I had a DND character who only ever slept on the ground. Eventually we found ourselves in a dungeon and the only ground was rock so my character decided to try a bed for the first time. DM made me roll for how well I slept and I got a nat 20. My character spent the next day figuring out how to take that bed with him everywhere.

  • You realize the federal building he blew up was a hospital, right? You can visit it and listen to the recordings of the children who died.

  • Please tell me you see the fallacy here. "If they aren't dangerous why are some people scared of them" has been used to hurt way too many people for you not to see the fallacy.

  • Yes, Vance Thinks Trump Can Defy the Supreme Court: I interviewed the vice president last year, and he didn’t mince words about wanting to provoke a constitutional crisis against the Supreme Court.

    Jump

  • In several instances dating back to the start of his Senate campaign in 2022, the vice president has explicitly said that a second-term Trump should defy the courts — even the U.S. Supreme Court — if they stand in the way of him exercising executive authority in ways he deems fit.

    Yet we're only hearing about this interview once he's in power?
