harcesz, in Nepal bans TikTok and says it disrupts social harmony
@harcesz@szmer.info avatar

China seems to be waging a influence war against Nepal, so I wouldent be that surprised if Tiktok was used as a weapon there.

bioemerl,

They're doing it in every country really.

“Je ne vois pas dans la religion le mystère de l’Incarnation mais le mystère de l’Ordre Social. La religion rattache au ciel une idée d’égalité qui empêche le riche d’être massacré par le pauvre.” (Napoléon Bonaparte / 1769-1821 / au Conseil d’Etat, le 4 mars 1806)

MxM111, in Palestinian girl filming Israeli soldiers gets shot at in the West Bank
@MxM111@kbin.social avatar

The shot sounded very quiet it cannot be a rifle shot. Is it a traumatic weapon? I did not know that those are used.

Limitless_screaming,
@Limitless_screaming@kbin.social avatar

No, it was actually an airsoft gun, OK? Why would they shoot at her?

probablyaCat,

Someone peaking out a door at soldiers with a small black object? Well I dunno. Why would soldiers ever shoot in such a situation...

Limitless_screaming,
@Limitless_screaming@kbin.social avatar

LOL, OK, let's say that a camera could be mistaken for a gun/rifle/nuke. Would the same apply to a phone? Because I cannot read something placed 10 meters away from me, and I still would distinguish a phone from a weapon.

You do not know what solder saw. But I am still insisting this can not be rifle shot. If anyone ever was near shooting rifle, they would know it is much louder.

Seathru,

Suppressors do exist. And are commonly used in close quarters combat. Especially by well funded combatants like the IDF.

To back that up I’ve seen a few videos of IDF shooting with suppressors, on videos it can sound like a click, from the sound of this video though I’m not sure it’s even suppressed.

Dude, if I ever saw someone slowly tearing you from limb to limb I wouldn't even move my toes. I may even start making justifications for them.

Umbrias,

“I know nothing about Thing In Video but I will choose to vehemently insist this can’t be Thing It Obviously Is, also it’s fine they shot at a civilian with no regard for rules of engagement anyway.”

Rivalarrival,

Microphones don’t pick up impulse sound levels properly, and speakers certainly cannot reproduce them. You cannot accurately judge gunshot noise levels from recordings.

MxM111, (edited )
@MxM111@kbin.social avatar

I have seen enough shooting videos to say that this is not true. The sound even using phone should be much louder. Not as lows as in real life, but loud and echo should be heard for quite some time.

Rivalarrival,

You can tell from the audio pixels, and from hearing many 'shops in your time?

MxM111, (edited )
@MxM111@kbin.social avatar

Read the first sentence of the post you are replying to. Familiarize yourself with idea that YouTube has lots of videos with weapons shots.

Rivalarrival,

You will not understand my criticism until you understand the term “clipping”.

MxM111,
@MxM111@kbin.social avatar

I know what lipping is, this is not it.

Rivalarrival,

You may know, but you do not comprehend.

t3rmit3,

I shoot rifles all the time. This was absolutely a rifle.

InvertedParallax,

That sounded like 5.56, which sounds more like a pop than 7.62 (brat) or .303 (boong).

@tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

You are clearly here solely to defend the IDF, this is a wasted effort in this space. Why do you want to put so much effort into excusing a murderous apartheid state?

Assuming too much?

acockworkorange, in Romanian SMR Nuclear Plant Project with NuScale Technology Moves Forward Despite US Setback

Considering the US project failed because it couldn’t find enough buyers, I’m glad the Romanian moves forward.

petrescatraian,

@acockworkorange Yea. They are in a joint venture here with a state-owned company, so I guess it's not only their work alone in this project.

Besides that, I hope they are not doing fraudulent things here as well, although I wouldn't be surprised to find out they do, given our judiciary.

acockworkorange,

Damn.

baggins, in Suella Braverman accuses police of double standards on rallies
@baggins@beehaw.org avatar

She really is pushing her own agenda here isn’t she?

There was a post here the other day suggesting she’s trying to get sacked. Have to agree.

frog,

Heard the same suggestion on a podcast recently as well, IIRC. And she’s got party leadership ambitions. At least if she gets it, the Tories will be unelectable for at least a decade. Nutella Suella is appealing to the far right, but absolutely abhorrent to anyone to the left of that. Even centre right people think she’s absolutely deranged and would rather have a Labour government than her.

JokeDeity, in Biden wants to ban ripoff "financial advisors"

Neat? There’s far bigger crooks you could go after though.

zerfuffle, in 3 children and woman killed in Israeli strike on car in south Lebanon

Have you considered that the journalist might have been Hamas?

Just like that Reuters journalist that was killed. Just like that Al Jazeera journalist that was killed.

Odd. A lot of journalists are being killed. Maybe they’re all Hamas?

Peter1986C,
@Peter1986C@lemmings.world avatar

I think this comment of yours is sarcastic but it is hard to tell.

zerfuffle,

I’m sort of sad that you even had any doubts lol

Truck_kun, in China ‘world’s biggest debt collector’ as poorer nations struggle with its loans

I do feel many of these nations should just straight up rent ports and such to China instead of taking the loans, in exchange for a lump sum payment, with restrictions for military use/limitations, and usage in support of war.

Might not get quite as much money, but seems far more favorable than the outcomes of belt-and-road loans (not just in the unlikelihood of debt repayment, but how the funding is used [vendor/company restrictions]).

PhlubbaDubba, in How international law applies to war, and why Hamas and Israel are both alleged to have broken it

And yet nothing can be done because the very concept of war crimes runs face first into the concept of national sovereignty, which is what the entire current world order is built on

BlameThePeacock, in How international law applies to war, and why Hamas and Israel are both alleged to have broken it

And it will mean nothing, because they can’t enforce anything.

livus,
@livus@kbin.social avatar

At the moment.

But you know, some war criminals even from as far back as WWII were tried and convicted this century. Even though they got away with it for decades, it caught up with them in the end.

rhythmisaprancer, in U.N. votes to end US embargo on Cuba; US and Israel oppose
@rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social avatar

This seems like such a no brainier but the US always says no.

falsem, (edited )

Yeah, this barely even qualifies as news since they've been doing it for 60 years.

livus, in Why Is Pakistan Expelling 1.7 Million Afghans?
@livus@kbin.social avatar

In some cases this is going to be refoulement, which is horrifying.

iHUNTcriminals, in Hamas Official Ghazi Hamad: We Will Repeat The October 7 Attack, Time And Again, Until Israel Is Annihilated

Yeah yeah… Same war shit as all of history. Grow the fuck up with your nation gangs.

…or no one is going to work for you and your nations business. World wide live for humanity.

Let’s post more links direct from the UN please.

This is a far more reputable source than a for-profit media corporation.
