diskmaster23, in Nations overwhelmingly vote for humanitarian truce at the UN, as Gazans say they have been ‘left in the dark’

Being left in the dark is a feature, not a bug. They intend to do harm.

brihuang95, in Marathoners in Beijing go maskless, unfazed by smog
@brihuang95@sopuli.xyz avatar

Just an average day I guess? They might be used to it at this point but I’d be curious to see if cancer rates are rising in Beijing and if there is any data pointing towards smog as a direct cause

LibertyLizard,

I imagine so though it’s actually improved notably in recent years.

kglitch, in Matthew Perry dead

Whenever another fixture of the 20th century leaves us, I spend a few minutes watching their clips, listening to their songs, reading their writing, or whatever they did. Gonna do that now.

RIP

Honestly a little surprised he lived so long. That dude liked to party.

Please remember to be(e) nice…our only rule at Beehaw. Thanks.

Devi,

I don’t think that’s the case at all. He drunk at some points and took drugs at some points but never ‘partied’. If you read his book it gives a bit more context.

FlashMobOfOne,
@FlashMobOfOne@beehaw.org avatar

I’m not judging. I’d have done the same in his shoes.

Devi,

Not what I’m saying. Partying suggests something very different to what he experienced. He’s also been sober for a long time. A relapse is possible but so are a hundred other reasons. Suggesting it was his own fault is quite grim.

FlashMobOfOne,
@FlashMobOfOne@beehaw.org avatar

It’s not grim at all.

It’s likely, given his history. At the same time, this is a silly argument. Even if he were still alive he wouldn’t care what either of us thinks, so let’s not waste any more of our breath on this.

    THere’s some truth to that.

    Devi,

    Jesus christ. Just because someone has a history of addiction does not mean they’re destined to die. That’s an awful thing to say.

    Thank you for your opinion. I appreciate it.

    Devi,

    You can’t say something horrifically offensive then pretend it’s OK. Disgusting.

    offspec,

    We’re all destined to die

    It's how life works, nobody gets out alive.

    Honytawk,

    No of course not. But the chance is a lot more likely.

    snailFenL, in Israel intensifies ground and air strikes on nearly cut-off Gaza while UN denounces 'war crimes' in conflict for first time and warns many will soon starve to death

    UN: “like, could you just please not do that we’re not gonna do anything, but like, please dont idk”

    awwwyissss,

    It’s easy to criticize, what’s your suggested alternative to the UN?

    snailFenL,

    I’d just like to know they were doing anything beyond a statement of disapproval.

    awwwyissss,

    The UN is a massive organization with many parts that do all kinds of things constantly. It’s not supposed to be the world police, it’s supposed to foster communication collaboration.

    PeleSpirit, in Looting hits Mexico's Acapulco after devastating Hurricane Otis

    I don't agree with that headline at all:

    But many residents said the aid was insufficient.

    "All the stores are closed or destroyed," said Raul Busto Ramirez, 76, an engineer who works at Acapulco's airport. He blamed looting on shortages and said ATM machines were out of action, leaving people with no cash.

    No shit Catholicism is basically the Mafia

    This is humanity. Don’t think you’re better than them because you live in America and pay others to do the work for you via tax.

    t3rmit3, (edited )

    Nah, don’t try to “both sides” this; they’re actively pushing this into a genocide as we speak, and most of the world is sitting back and watching in horror while people like you try to minimize it.

    “Sitting at home, looking on in horror and unable to do anything, you’re just as bad as the people literally murdering thousands.”

    Fuck the Israeli government, and all who support them.

    This is humanity. We are animals and nothing special.

    Wow

    liv,

    We are “social animals” though. It’s normal for the social animals to attempt to regulate what each other does and how they treat others in the group.

    You see this in apes, elephants, whales, etc.

    ram, in Israel intensifies ground and air strikes on nearly cut-off Gaza while UN denounces 'war crimes' in conflict for first time and warns many will soon starve to death
    @ram@bookwormstory.social avatar

    Now with outbound communications nearly completely cut off, how often will we get updates on what’s happening on the ground? On the crimes against humanity Israel’s committing?

    I hope for the best, I really do, but I feel so helpless. I’ve already contacted my representatives and told them they need to do their part or I’ll be rescinding my support. I’m vocal within my community as well. But beyond that, there’s so little I can do but bear witness to what is happening.

    It feels this way with every shitty thing we find out about in the last however many years. And the answer always seems to be vote harder!!1!

    detectivemittens,

    That’s why they cut off outbound communications. If you don’t photograph or video them doing war crimes, then they’re not committing them, right?

    DdCno1,

    Literally every single war involves cutting the enemy’s communication. This is not an unusual thing at all.

    Elderos,

    Is this a war tho

    TexMexBazooka,

    Yes

    t3rmit3, in Why does China claim almost the entire South China Sea?

    Imperialists gonna empire.
