USA is bombing Yemen due to them blocking ships that cross in Yemeni waters that are headed to Israel

THE_ANON,

WTH

I mean… disrupting international trade is just asking for trouble.

That’s not even a “capitalism bad” thing; it’s just a matter of fact that safe international trade needs to be a thing in order to have a global economy

Yemen has the right to embargo whoever they want from using their waters.

  1. This isn’t Yemen, it’s the Houthis. AFAIK, the internationally recognized State of Yemen isn’t involved.
  2. We’re talking international shipping routes. What the Houthi movement is engaging in is piracy, plain and simple.
feannag,

It’s not “their” waters, it’s internationally recognized shipping lanes.

“Internationally recognized” not by Yemen. The Yemeni had no saying on that. That is just imperialist appropriating Yemeni’s waters and then using their influence to validate their claim. What you are spreading is gross imperialist propaganda.

THE_ANON, (edited )

Its just halted right ? the ships will be eventually let go they are not looting or attacking them are they ? If just halted i dont think there is need to respond that extremely correct me though

Not halted; The Houthi movement has been firing missiles and sending drones at civilian vessels. They were given fair warning to stop by the coalition members of Operation Prosperity Guardian, and continued to attack anyway.

The Houthis also gave fair warning to the ships to go back and they just turned off their radios and continued anyway to provide aid to a genocidal entity. The Houthis are trying to help Palestine not to be genocided. Any response to a genocidal entity is justified.

feannag,

For some additional context, Houthi members have been attacking commercial ships using internationally recognized shipping lanes, and opened fire on US military aircraft. Whether or not the bombing is justified, the narrative that “people are in Yemen territorial waters” is gross misinformation at best.

mynamesnotrick, (edited ) in Everything I need is still in in the old settings windows that haven't changed in 23 years

Appwiz.cpl, ncpa.cpl, desk.cpl and mmsys.cpl. I use all the time… ever since win 8 changed all the settings ui. That new ui, while getting better since 8 still sucks since the old control panel. I hope they never remove it since windows is still the name of the game for end users (even in some software dev environments).

Here’s a list of cpl, you just use them at run or even the windows search. www.itechtics.com/control-panel-applets-cpl/

PurplebeanZ,

Thank you I’ve bookmarked this as I’m always forgetting them.

Thank you for the good read, definitely will come in handy at work

The new windows appification and UI shit screams “we think people are straight up fuckin retarded” to me. They might as well manufacture keyboards to look like speak and spell toys

Blue_Morpho,

If it actually was easier, I wouldn’t complain. But in most cases, the new settings make it harder to find and change settings.

Apparently this is largely a myth, somebody did try it on a single occasion but it doesn’t actually work to spread smallpox. That guy was clearly an arsehole, but yeah, apparently it wasn’t a thing. I don’t know how important this is given the near total genocide of the Native Americans, but it’s funny how some things become “common knowledge” and some things never really get out. Soap made of Jews is another one - it was apparently an urban legend at the time due to the letters written on the rationed bars of soap. Again, more than enough evil to go around without the soap. It does seem that one insane commandants wife collected people’s tattooed skin and likely did make a lampshade out of human skin. People say that didn’t happen, but there’s a pretty convincing photograph out there of all the seized items at one camp. Can’t remember why I started talking about this, think I was trying to distract myself from a stomachache.

BCsven,

Americans forget their history because it is not widely taight to them, so the smallpox prevails, but history channel put together a good summary of American Genocide history.com/…/native-americans-genocide-united-st…

@match@pawb.social avatar

the fact that in an era with relatively few records, there is a recorded intentional attempt to spread smallpox (even if incompetent) is plenty to assert that the Europeans intentionally spread smallpox

edit: the CDC does say contaminated bedding can spread smallpox. reconsider the sources telling you it’s a myth

@theacharnian@lemmy.ca avatar

The basic idea and institutional tenets of the German policy of remembering the Holocaust are sound and correct. They are quite literally a model for other societies who are descended from horrible horrible people. Like I wish the US and Canada did a fraction of what German does to acknowledge and honour their own very dark past of colonization and genocide.

It seems however that one particular thing has gone very wrong: they have adopted a bizarre definition of anti-semitism that precludes most opposition to the state of Israel, even when Israel does plainly indefensible things. And because we are talking about Germans, for whom rules really fucking matter, this has lead them to some truly bizarre situations such as persecuting Jews who criticize Israel as antisemitic.

And when Israel does step over the line, and Jewish Israeli Holocaust scholars, like Omer Bartov, are telling you this has started to really stink of genocide, the Germans find themselves in an impossible bind, which they resolve in the shittiest way possible by taking a side and condemning the other side as antisemitic.

They could and should have plainly said: this is a complex matter, but we trust the ICJ, we will wait for their determination, no further comment. That would have been an entirely honourable position for them to take. But no, they forced themselves into a position of having to defend one of the two litigants, like a caricature of an annoying white saviour “ally”, like the worst caricature of the male nice guy “feminist” who mansplains feminism to women.

Germany can very well be an authority when it comes to far right antisemitism. If they say a right wing group is anti-semitic, I am by default inclined to believe them. But when it comes to criticizing Israel, when there are multi-dimensional nuances and complexities, and when Israel itself is under a right wing extremist government, Germany is far from an authority that should have any fucking say about which Jewish public voice, like Masha Gessen, is … being anti-Semitic.

Xerxos, in oh no Germany what is u doin

It’s simple: Germany always does what Israel wants.

You know, because of our history.

There are many people (especially the older generation) who think we as Germans can’t say anything bad about Israel no matter what they do.

tagoth,

I do not think anyone expects Germany to say anything bad about Israel. The problem is that they went on to defend what Israel is doing. Germany did not need to speak, yet they chose to in favour of Israel.

Siegfried,

I think it is understandable, but it is also a little sad. Germans are good people and they are carrying a pretty big bag on the back. Israel will end cleaning from palestinians gaza and in 2 years nobody will care about what happened.

greywolf0x1,

What is understandable about germany’s actions or inactions to the ongoing genocide?

Siegfried,

I understand that after everything they did, a big chunk of the German population is reluctant to move a finger against israel.

I’ve got fed up of them changing how many hoops you go through to get to the old settings so I have the .cpl commands memorized that work no matter what computer you’re at

Appwiz.cpl ncpa.cpl for common examples

    You’re the bottom. You’re probably used to that position so hopefully that makes sense.
