As Palestine is a political entity/governing body, yes it has no special right to exist the same way human beings have a special universal right to exist, have a special right to freedom and a special right to be meaningfully represented in the power structures they are enclosed within. These rights extend to Palestinians, Jews and everybody else.
A country is not a living creature, humans are living creatures.
Authorities also accused the group of supporting terror, highlighting remarks made by a prominent member who described the 7 October attacks on Israel as a “successful resistance action”. It is unclear when the statements were made.
This is all you have to go on!???
Where have I spoken positively about China?
You are trying to erase any nuance between being highly critical of the US, Canada and Europe and being pro-China or functioning somehow as a propaganda mouthpiece for China which I am not… which was the entire point of my comment on your post.
It also must be emphasized that saying “Israel has no fundamental right to exist” does not mean that jews living in Israel do not have a right to exist, or live in Israel, what it means is that the theological/ethnic identity of the COUNTRY of Israel that brutally excludes the humanity of others (including christians) living in Israel who aren’t jews, has no special right to exist as a political mechanism.
Countries are political constructions, they have no right to exist and they do not represent the identity of the people who live in said countries. People, countries and religion are THREE DISCRETE CONCEPTS.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck
Where is your evidence of antisemitism?
You aren’t even making a clear and coherent enough argument for me to respond to.
Nope, this is your bias speaking
before anyone says Microsoft/Xbox are idiots and are sabotaging themselves… yes they are but also this strategy is an extremely successful longterm strategy so long as you have enough money to survive the temporary collapse and can buy up large chunks of the industry during the downswing.
Eventually if you keep doing this then you own most of the industry and neither developers nor gamers have any choice but to accept the crap you serve them. Problem solved.
Imagine if ANY OTHER COUNTRY had done this?
This is one of the reasons why the narrative is nonsense that renting games is better because you can easily own “too many games” if you keep buying them and then… oh no!!! You own too many digital games!!!
When you buy an indie game you are supporting art whether you get to the game or not, remember that, which isn’t to say buy random games but I think this statistic underlines how much it does matter to the smaller game developers to take a leap and buy their indie games. It helps that they usually cost 1/50th the cost of a AAA game lol…
I don’t even think it will take many jobs permanently, but to your point it never mattered if AI works or can actually replace human beings at work, all that matters is that people believe it will and then that means that companies can fire large amounts of workers and hire them back under permanently “temporary” positions that pay less, have less stability and condescend the humanity of the worker at a basic level by framing their labor as a temporary substitution for a superior LLM/“AI” to eventually step in and replace.
It is the SAME EXACT STORY as how Uber from the beginning framed its human drivers as temporary… even as dreams of self driving cars have faded from any serious discussion in the near term… the mistreatment, devaluing and dehumanization were successfully codified into the rideshare industry which was always the goal in the first place.
Which isn’t to say that plenty of CEOs haven’t drank the KoolAid on AI and are totally lost in the sauce, but two things can be true at the same time…
Yes Europe CAN afford not to be scammed.
This article is nonsense marketing.
Every problem that women have is debated constantly in a zillion monthly publications, and daytime talk shows. Women can turn on the TV and spend all day seeing every nuance of their lives endlessly debated, and not once will anyone mention that men might be struggling, too.
lol you want to back that statement up with evidence?
Unfortunately no the extreme weather conditions right now are not really a product of El Nino, I mean they are to a degree but we have only fairly recently actually moved into an El Nino proper… what they are is a product of much more worrying extreme global sea surface temperatures that have dominated for the last several years.
https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_daily/
To put it another way, the big swing in chaotic weather frequency and shifts of zones of precipitation and dry zones we are experiencing right now is a much more monumental signal that El Nino will graft onto in ways that… well we aren’t really sure what ways that this interaction will happen…
Yes but part of the selling point a lot of the time does perversely come back to US-centric companies providing the leaders of Governments and Corporations a Backdoor-As-A-Service product to force upon those lower down in the pecking order.
In a sense this AI bubble is really two things, it is partially a bullshit bubble full of idiots and it is partially an embodiment of the basic philosophy of Sun Tzu demonstrating the act of losing a war before it has ever begun by becoming obsessed with pouring everything into a costly illusion that only the elite are really enamored by.
The same thing with the F35, that thing is a thesis and world monument to the philosophy that the way to win a war is by making the opponent lose on multiple levels before you begin the outright war part. It doesn’t matter how well the F35 works or doesn’t work, the amount of resources and waste have already “lost a war” entirely from the diversion of a Trillion plus dollars of resources that could have transformed the US in any number of other more productive directions. The F35 already lost an entire war before it ever even fought in a battle.
Oh yeah, I am livid about that ughh.
I hate Android with a bloodcurdling passion but yes.
Apple has the most condescending design philosophy I know of and I will never tolerate the degree of suffocation Apple imposes on devices you have purchased and own.
Also Android has F-Droid which makes Android categorically superior to iOS.
Get all of your core basic apps like flashlight apps, image gallery apps, file browser apps etc… from F-Droid.
Samsung? I hate samsung and yet I have an older used flagship samsung phone and ultimately that is what I recommend doing with Android, always buy near top of the line phones (samsung or otherwise), just go used and older until you hit a price point you are comfortable with. This reduces the headaches you will run into with Android a lot since you are always getting the experience Android was meant to give and that designers focused on especially when it comes to the hardware and camera + camera app.
I recommend Swappa for buying used electronics/phones since the website is dedicated to only those kinds of sales and provides a lot of confidence and comfort vs. buying off a random ebay seller.
edit ALSO on Android you can change your launcher/homescreen, the idea that you can’t do this on iOS blows my mind even though it doesn’t surprise me…
First I re-emphasize this.
Second does calling it a “successful resistance action” mean the person/people believed it was a moral or ethical?
Words matter here.
