Devi,

I used to teach ESOL students and this is quite common. Very accomplished students who had often come over for some quite skilled jobs, but hadn’t used a mouse before. It’s hard to remember how odd it is as a control system when you’ve used them from childhood.

Often they’d used phones or tablets though so they’d all be touching the screens.

Devi,

Honestly, anyone playing such “get rich quick” investing games with crypto needs to be honest with themselves that maybe they’ve got a gambling problem.

Gambling is what it is. Putting your life savings in it is stupid, but if you put a bit in, it’s a better gamble than putting it on the horses.

Devi,

Is gambling investing in a company?

Devi,

The deer disease is the same family as BSE which does jump to humans, so it’s fairly likely.

Devi,

It’s tricky. So I was listening to a BSE radio doc recently which had an episode about the deer. They actually don’t know if BSE was transmitted through eating the beef, in fact there’s cases of vegetarians getting it. It’s still being studied. They’re very worried about people eating infected deer, which is quite likely being as they’re easy to kill, but also having anything to do with them because they just don’t know how it moves from animal to animal, deers rarely eat each other so it’s not super likely that’s the only way.

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.

Devi,

You are being drawn in by Israeli propaganda. Look at more balanced news sources, or just a wider range. The ‘human shield’ myth is particularly awful as it’s being used to defend murdering innocent people.

Devi,

I’m also old and have been following this conflict for decades but apparently more balanced sources.

Israel claimed that they were targeting Hamas at Al-Shifa but they positioned snipers who shot doctors and nurses through the windows. If you’re being forced to attack a hospital full of innocent civilians then you would be trying to avoid the innocent civilians, but that’s not what it’s about here.

Same as taking swathes of land since WW2, they are occupying massive areas that they were never given. They’re not ignorant, they know exactly what they’re doing.

Devi,

That really got me too. How can you kill brand new babies and then be like “We’re in the right here”

Devi,

I saw them taking a BBC journalist in and pointing out a “Hamas Stash”, it was like one gun, some shoes, and a pile of blankets. If that’s the stuff you think you’re fighting against then you’re ok, calm down, stop sniping medical staff.

Devi,

Look! there’s crackers! danger!!

Devi,

What are you seeing here? There’s a small shaft that looks a long way from the hospital, maybe a well, maybe a sewer, nothing to suggest it’s anything untoward. There’s some people walking through some buildings, then a map with writing on.

Where are you seeing evidence here? Where are you seeing any of the things you’re claiming?

Devi,

This whole thing reeks of desperation, they’re grasping at straws to defend murdering babies, but there’s zero defence here.

Devi,

I read an interview last week with some hospital staff. They had to avoid windows when treating patents as if seen the snipers would shoot them. Many staff were killed that way. Just a nightmare.

Devi,

They have bombed a neonatal unit! You can’t murder premature babies and be like “Whoopsy!”. Absolutely disgusting. As for ‘evacuating civilians’ they’ve blocked the borders. Workers who worked outside Gaza have been forcibly returned.

This is genocide.

Devi,

Israeli civilians being killed is a war crime though? Double standards much?

Gaza’s Largest Hospitals Close, Premature Babies Taken Out of Incubators, Israeli Forces Reportedly Entered Hospitals and Fired at Patients (www.democracynow.org)

“Five kids in the pediatric [Shifa Hospital] ICU left alone in Rantisi Hospital, and we don’t know what’s going on with them. The communications were lost, so they might be dead or alive,” one of the doctors said....

Devi,

Even if they were, even if each individual person in Gaza was personally responsible for 9/11, this wouldn’t be allowed. The Geneva convention does not allow this treatment.

Devi,

If I took that bet I may as well give you the money now!

Devi,

The government of China are not good people… is that controversial?

Devi,

I’m in KBin and have the same thread but with the first comment that it seems you don’t have.

It reads “Indigenous land is a tough one. If you stick with that, Israel is just taking their land back, and right wing European politicians have the moral high ground.”

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.

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.

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.

Devi,

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

Devi,

It depends if you can get it where you are, but Flora plant butter is really good, I’ve used it for cooking and just as a spread and seems to work well.
