Nacktmull, in Israel-Gaza war live: Israeli hostages mistakenly killed by IDF in Gaza were holding makeshift white flag, official says

Does the fact that they held a white flag not rule out a “mistake”?

socphoenix,

You know someone will state that a “common Hamas tactic” any minute now

socphoenix,

Well didn’t take long just found this in a different post…

Unaware7013,

Wow, I like the one guy farther down who claims Likud is awful but it's Hamas propaganda that the IDF kills kids.... like the massive dead civilian and kid numbers are just all propaganda to make a genocidal ethnistate look bad.

Oh, this just keeps getting better and better

WatDabney, in Israel-Gaza war live: Israeli hostages mistakenly killed by IDF in Gaza were holding makeshift white flag, official says

Just makes me wonder how many Palestinians they’ve murdered in similar circumstances, and we just didn’t hear about it because they weren’t Israelis, so it was treated as if it didn’t matter.

Devi,

I mean, the answer is loads. There was a hospital where they had to move all patients away from the outer rooms because the Israeli army were using snipers to pick off staff who came to attend to them. Uniformed doctors who were engaged in treating their patients were shot with no warning.

Hrm, so… There is a chat bot installed in Line that monitors all incoming messages and inserts itself when it it’s triggered by something said in a private conversation?

As much as I want disinformation fought I’m extremely wary of this approach.

It looks like it’s just a bot you have to invite into your chat: checkcheck.me/en/

This isn’t like Discord’s Clyde that sometimes just pops up to put the app’s internal messages into a conversation style chat, this is a chatbot by an independent company.

I don’t think I’d want this bot to listen in on DMs, but this doesn’t seem all that harmful in most group chats I participate in.

derbis,

Ah, that’s rather better if it’s voluntary.

detalferous, in Prices soar in Argentina after Milei’s currency devaluation

That’s helpful, but why declare a 50% devaluation? Isn’t that just determined once you peg to the dollar and float your currency?

jarfil, (edited )

Yearly inflation for December 2023 has been 160% (stuff that used to cost 100, now costs 260)

A 50% devaluation, is the same as a 100% inflation: stuff that used to cost 100, now costs 200.

Milei has promised a reduction in inflation for the next year, from the 160% to just 60% (stuff that used to cost 100, plus through the 50% devaluation now costs 200, will end up costing just another 60% more, or 320 “160”).

Meaning: instead of having to anounce a 220% inflation for 2024, he’s split it into “50% devaluation, plus 60% inflation”.

…see? He promised to reduce inflation, and he did! 🎉🤡 /s

You should use the original link as the post link, then lemmy will automatically reference the cross-posts (also the cross-post link will be instance agnostic so it won’t pull people out of their local instance).

If you edit the post it should sort itself out.

0x815,

Thanks, didn’t know that. It’s corrected now.

jarfil,

Hm, could you explain how is that supposed to work in more detail? I still see the cross post link as taking me to the other instance; furthermore, even the share link and “open in browser” in Liftoff are taking me out of the instance 🤔

TWeaK,

I think maybe not all apps show the automated cross-post link - I’m not seeing it right now on Jerboa. But yeah I think basically your instance checks the link against all other links it has (both local communities and federated) then it just adds cross-post links for each one, as well as a link to the new post in the old posts.

detalferous, in Prices soar in Argentina after Milei’s currency devaluation

What does he say this achieves? What is his endgame with respect to the devaluation?

gatelike,

apparently abolishing the central bank and switching to the dollar

statist43,

So having US cemtral bank controlling the own currency.

Very well tgought through

@Nighed@sffa.community avatar

If they dump their currency and use USD, then as long as there arnough dollars around it solves inflation right? (Their economy is a blip to the Goliath that is USD)

But if that’s the case, then their currency is useless as everyone knows if will have zero value at all in a few months/years.

It does mean they can’t print money to get out of trouble though… Not that that was going well for them before.

Rentlar, in Prices soar in Argentina after Milei’s currency devaluation

You thought having a leftist as leader was bad, Argentina, good luck dealing with this douche in power.

Haha the ‘chainsaw the central bank’ guy turns out to be unhinged, who knew

josefo,

You can’t say we didn’t know what was on the package, this is entirely self-inflicted.

ag_roberston_author,
@ag_roberston_author@beehaw.org avatar

We’ll only in the same way Trump was self-inflicted, that is to say that millions of people didn’t vote for him and are still impacted by this.

quindraco,

Didn’t he win the vote? Trump lost the vote. He won the election because the American system is designed to sometimes hand victory to the loser - Trump was the 5th or 6th example to date.

ag_roberston_author,
@ag_roberston_author@beehaw.org avatar

He was voted on by 14.5 million votes, which was 56% of the votes, but it is also out of a population of 45 million, and he only got 30% in the first round of votes. They have a completely different voting system to the US, so they had a second round of runoffs.

The point is, no most people in Argentina did not vote for him, but many did not vote at all.

DarkDarkHouse,
@DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I’m sad for the common folk who will be hurt here, even the ones that voted for him because they desperately needed relief. I fear they’ve jumped from the frying pan into the fire.

@MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org avatar

That’s exactly what they did, and we all knew this was going to happen. Like I said before, if you don’t manage to cut your toenails with a fryig pan a gun is not going te be much help either, dumb fucking cunts

We should give them some of those cluster bombs we gave to Ukraine.

sqgl,

Legally possible because Israel is not a party to the convention on cluster munitions. Neither Ukraine nor Russia are either.

I can’t imagine cluster bombs being useful in urban warfare though.

Where’s the satellite imagery?

One must have serious damage and no morals to do such thing

Here is a Ghost Archive link to the original story which includes satelite imagery.

They were bulldozed to flat, featureless earth, the word "razed" is accurate in this context.
