Ideally you don’t take their word, you send journalists and international investigators to the scene to verify.

Which has happened and they have shown that obviously if someone blows up while walking down the street, the explosion doesn't magically know not to injure anyone else

Drooping and dropping leaves is usually lack of water, but who knows with succulents

I'd assume that's what it is tho. And the purple is just what they do instead of browning

But we don't know if they did...

IDF claims it only hit targets, which we know isn't true, and people standing next to them were blown up too

I just don't understand why anyone would just take the IDFs word, they lie constantly

They eliminated 2800 terrorists

Israel said they're terrorists...

They also called American citizens who protest the American government providing arms for a genocide terrorists...

Would you be ok with them blowing up US college students for using the first amendment?

People rich enough to give 960k to the "victory fund"...

Why would he give a shit about voters when he can cater to donors?

No worries, feel free to reply with all your other alts and I'll block them too.

That's a link of people claiming it...

Not an example of any major media organization actually doing it...

Like, Vance keeps saying immigrants are eating pets, showing me a bunch of people saying immigrants should stop eating pets doesn't prove anyone is eating pets...

Does this make sense?

OP is talking about cutting off the troll instances...

Not spending more time there.

Go look at the modlog for any .ml community and you'll see why people never want to go there.

They're not blurring the line, they're treating any immigrant like they're not here legally. They're erasing the line

And have been for a while now.

Biden isn't dragging his feet...

He's moving at light ing speed (for his age) to support Israel's genocide in anyway he can, including going around congress illegally to avoid a delay of just a few days.

I just hate how all the blame is put on voters, it's literally Kamala and her campaign teams job to get votes, and despite how much they hate the thought, that means giving Dem voters what Dem voters want.

And they don't want to be citizens of pretty much the only country still supporting the genocide by sending munitions. Especially when it's a violation of the Legacy Lehey law and bare minimum we should be demanding Israel track the use of US supplied munitions.

Like. You're completely underselling the damage Biden and other party leaders are causing...

And then claiming you can't understand why people don't like him or the party's stance.

Why dont you spend your time and effort trying to stop a genocide instead of telling people they have to support a genocide?

Your way even if we win. Still a genocide.

If we demand Kamala and party leadership stop breaking US and international law, and they actually listen

Kamala could moonwalk into the oval office and Israel wouldn't be able to continue their genocide.

What's so hard about picking the best path?

We can stop trump and genocide or just stop trump.

Seems like an easy choice to me

This is what Israel wants, they desperately want a widescale war between Israel and all their neighbors to kickoff before Biden leaves office.

Because Biden will throw the full weight of the US military behind Israel even tho Israel is the aggressor, literally anyone else has the chance of holding back.

And without the US, Israel is fucked.

The point is that the media constantly focus on Biden’s slip-ups whereas they try to normalize Trump’s obvious madness.

Who is "normalizing" trump?

Criticizing Biden made sense because there was a chance Biden's donors would listen and make him step down

That did work.

Calling for trump to step down won't work, because his main donors are foreign governments trying to cause chaos, and if he drops out, he's going to prison.

And that's not even getting into if trump steps down...

That only helps Republicans and hurts Kamala.

But anyone who thinks Biden is unsuitable but Trump isn’t is either a liar or a moron.

Who is saying that?

Why are you listening to them?

Like, you're complaining about "the media" but all of them except right wing echo chambers have been saying he's unsuitable for almost a decade now...

Can you name one serious media organization that is doing what you're complaining about?

And as an elected sheriff, he's literally a politician...

Which is probably the real reason he's doing this, it's for votes. Except now it's blown up so people that do t agree with him are seeing it

If you have a tire go flat, a doughnut is better, doesn't mean you should just leave it on forever because it's "good enough".

Biden was better than trump, but that's a dumb standard.

We should be running the best candidate possible, which means paying attention to what the Dem voter base wants and matching that. Not shoving what donors want down our throats because "what are you gonna do. Vote trump?". The real answer is they just won't vote

And low turnout is the only way republicans win.

Nah, I blocked .ml, hilariouschaos, and a couple other troll instances.

Worked out great so far, I've even thought of blocking some of the "dead" instances because that's where troll accounts usually come from.

The main issue is accidentally stumbling into a sub on their instance, anywhere else and mods/admins can step in.

But there is zero reason to ever comment or even see a post made on those instances, because the worst users on them are the mods/admins.

So you just stop going to their house where they make the rules.

Mobile Web too.

What's important to note is it blocks all the subs from that instinance, but not posts those users make to other instances.

And you'll still see all their comments, but you won't get notified if someone from those instances reply to you. You can still see them and reply back, but you won't be notified

They're not new questions...

In Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, in the village of Saraain, one young girl, Fatima Abdullah, had just come home from her first day of fourth grade when she heard her father’s pager begin to beep, her aunt said. She picked up the device to bring it to him and was holding it when it exploded, killing her. Fatima was 9.

And

By the end of the day, at least a dozen people were dead and more than 2,700 were wounded, many of them maimed. And the following day, 20 more people were killed and hundreds wounded when walkie-talkies in Lebanon also began mysteriously exploding. Some of the dead and wounded were Hezbollah members, but others were not; four of the dead were children.

Both are war crimes, and while Israel hasn't formally declared war. Their defense minister is calling this a war.

But you can't use indiscriminate attacks, and you can't aim for maiming instead of killing.

Shit like this just makes more terrorists, which at this point is pretty obvious is Israels goal. They do t want to "win a war" they want to create a permanent boogey man so Israels current unpopular leaders get to hold.o to power a little longer.

Bibi and his people will keep doing this shit, because it's the only way they keep power.

They want war and chaos

Go read Lincoln's inaugural address.

The majority is about how he wasn't going to federally outlaw slavery.

So yeah. The SC was proslavery, but the North wasn't against it either until well into the war. Even then it wasn't about doing the right thing. Wealthy Europeans knew the north would win, but also knew Southern landowners would sell on the cheap during the war.

By federally outlawing slavery, it made the agricultural land in the South drop in value.

This allowed the war to end significantly earlier.

It’s not a war crime because Lebanon and Israel are not at war,

Their defense minister literally just said it was a war...

Speaking to Israeli troops on Wednesday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said, “We are at the start of a new phase in the war — it requires courage, determination and perseverance.” He made no mention of the exploding devices but praised the work of Israel’s army and security agencies, saying “the results are very impressive.”

They're desperately trying to start wars to drag the US in while Biden is still in office.

If an all out war happens, there is 100% chance Biden dives into it.

Kamala there's a slight chance she does the right thing, and trump's price to go against Russia's allies will be ridiculously high.

So they want Biden to be the one to react.

I mean. It should be anyways...

Like fuck Sean Combs, but most people stuck in jail are because they can't post bail. Or because of the American bail system, can't afford to pay 10% as essentially a fine.

Thousands of people deal with it every day there, it sucks we only talk about it when a rich person experiences it. But we still need to talk about.

Tell Israel:

Why would you think only valid military targets were next to these?

Why are you still believing the IDFs first reports when the vast majority of the time they're lying?

1. You think milkshakes are the best food

2. Medical knowledge says you shouldn't try to only live off milkshakes

3. You say the medical community is part of a conspiracy by Big Vegetable

This is why it's important people understand the details of the civil war.

What lead to it wasn't just "slavery" it's that the South wanted the federal government to go into Northern states and bring back anyone that was suspected of being an escaped slave back to the South. Basically they wanted federal law enforcement to go on slave raids.

They won't be happy with shitty laws in their own states, they want to force everyone else to follow them.

And this time the SC is on their side, and if we won't fix that, we need to be ready for the bullshit they'll keep pulling.

The Phenom 2?!

I barely remember it, but yeah, it was a beast.

But my 1700x went hard for five years. The only reason I tacked the extra 5 on was x3d changes things up.

Now, since I've made that comment AMD has solved the Zen 5 latency issues but cutting it by more than half. That's what was holding it back. So when the Zen 5 x3d comes out, it's going to be nuts.

But...

It's going to take a while for those changes to become industry standard. It might be a year before Zen 5 x3d, I'm not sure if they've even announced when. So games won't take full advantage of them right away.

It takes like a 4070 super to CPU bound a 7800x3d, and fine tune some settings and it'll balance out

We're not going to have a new screen resolution jump, and that combo can max out 4k 120fps on pretty much anything thanks to frame generation without even touching upscaling.

There's just not a lot to improve until we see a major jump like VR finally taking off.

Lol. The tweet is defending Zionism and illegal Israeli land expansion, while also denying the history that Jewish people from Europe replaced the natives who had been living on that land for millennia when Israel was created by the British...

Like, imagine trying to sell people that the creation of Israel by the Brits was the one time the Brits actually handled it correctly.

The fact checking in this article is perfect lol

“So what America should be saying is, if NATO wants us to continue supporting them and NATO wants us to continue to be a good participant in this military alliance, why don’t you respect American values and respect free speech?” Vance asked. “It’s insane that we would support a military alliance if that military alliance isn’t going to be pro-free speech. I think we can do both. But we’ve got to say American power comes with certain strings attached. One of those is respect free speech, especially in our European allies.”

Musk has been accused of banning several journalists since taking over Twitter, now X.

“I’m not going to go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives,” Vance added. “But European countries should theoretically share American values, especially about some very basic things like free speech.”

The US ranked 26th in the world when it comes to free speech, with several members of the European Union higher up the list, according to the 2024 Global Expression Report.

Edit 1: Does no one read in Lemmy? Lol.

I got downvoted for posting a fact check about this myth from a reputable source.

Because no one thinks she did...

If you posted:

Is Harris an energy vampire trying to take over the world for the Golden Retriever lobby?

People wouldn't care if the link says she's not, everyone knows shes not and they're just downvoting a clickbait headline.

You would just have to find it...

Like, if you didn't have anything to use the app. You would just have to physically find it...

Same way you find anything else that doesn't have an app

That's cops doing "stop and frisk" in high crime areas...

That's not them pulling over vehicles at the border and searching...

Bruh...

No one is searching people as they pull into DC...

If they're bringing guns to overthrow the government, no one is going to know until they pull them out.

Whether that's a rifle from a truck or a pistol from their pants, it doesn't matter if it's legal or not when as soon as it comes out they're trying to overthrowing the government

So...

They're just casually admitting to another war crime?

Against someone I don't even think they're officially at war against?

D.C. has crazy gun restrictions precisely for this reason, so a bunch of guys rolling up in 4x4s with AR’s aren’t getting far.

If they're recreating Mad Max...

But they're not searching vehicles when they get to DC.

He doesn't need to be there tho, he can just tell them "it would be great" if someone did it on twitter

Nate Silver

Lol

The guy who kept saying Hillary would win despite polling, fucked up covid and argued against medical experts, got laid off from his own company and called Biden a "walking corpse"?

The one literally bankrolled by the same guy bankrolling JD Vance?

https://www.vox.com/politics/372217/nate-silver-2024-polls-trump-harris

Why are you listening to him? Did you see that takedown article from today and walk away from it thinking he was the good guy?

I now coincidences are a thing, but that's a little spooky...

If not, you should read that, here's a good quote from it:

Accordingly, the uproar over the current forecast, from people who want Harris to win, has been quite pronounced. “Who bought #NateSilver and how much did he go for?” actress Bette Midler posted on X. Baseless conspiracy theories have been hatched that Silver’s recently announced gig as an adviser to the online prediction market Polymarket is spurring him to do the bidding of right-wing billionaires and skew his analysis against Harris. (Silver has strongly denied those claims. “Peter Thiel isn’t paying me any more than he’s paying someone who works for Facebook or Lyft,” he recently posted on X.)

Among the more data-literate, the main critique of Silver’s model lately has been that it’s unfairly punishing Harris for not getting a big polling bounce after the Democratic convention. (Nominees typically get a bounce then and lose some of that advantage later on, but this is an unusual cycle and perhaps Harris got her “bounce” earlier, when she entered the race.) On September 7, Silver wrote that if the “convention bounce” setting was turned off, the model would show something extremely close to a pure 50-50 contest; he has also said that this effect will dwindle the further we get from the convention.

Daniels followed up. “But in the way that we send weapons and the way we interact as their ally, are there specific policy changes?”

Harris said that she was “entirely supportive” of the Biden administration’s decision to pause a shipment of weapons. She then quickly turned back to a need for a ceasefire agreement.

Literally nothing would accelerate the time table to a permanent ceasefire more than just not giving Israel any more weapons

They wouldn't have the munitions to keep up. And pretty much every other ally has already cut them off.

Why would he do a speech?

He won't be anywhere near DC this time.

And even if there's no "protest" as cover, 100 guys in trucks rolling up with body armor and illegal automatic weapons would be a huge problem if NG isn't already in place and settled in.

Even if they're five minutes away, these idiots really think they'll be remembered as the new founding fathers. And can do a hell of a lot of damage if they swarm every entrance at once. Especially when it's almost guaranteed some did it four years ago.

They'll 100% crash out over this, and if trump loses he'll keep campaigning and doing rallys to stoke this shit. They're not rational, and they have a shit ton of guns. We need to prepare appropriately

Right...

Full on towers and NG decked out like they were in the desert.

But anything less than that isn't going to be enough. "Standby" isn't enough.

And I don't think Biden will want that optics. And I don't think Kamala will push him to do it for the same reasons

I hope I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time

But I really don't think we'll have enough in place, and that trump will do anything to avoid prison.

Hell, after last time they shouldn't even let anyone close to the building. Set up a perimeter a block out and anyone that breeches doesn't get back up again. I don't think it'll only take one bullet twice.

Attacking Congress to overturn an election has to be the definition of "fuck around and find out". It can't be less than protesting for civil rights.

It doesn't matter what's on standby off-site. Shit needs to be there and ready. A display of excessive force is the only thing that might prevent the attempt.

If they think the only thing between them and Congress is a couple dozen cops in riot gear...

trumpers aren't known for their skills at risk assessment, they'll go for it. Even knowing NG is a phone call away, they've blocked traffic in cities for dumber shit, the people doing it probably wouldn't even know why they're doing it, they'd think that was the whole "protest" like the rest of the city shutdowns they keep trying.

He literally can't...

It's the only thing keeping him out of prison, and why despite the optics DC needs to be on lockdown for the certification in January. Full on towers and NG decked out like they were in the desert.

If Trump loses he's 100% planning it again, this time all gas no brakes. They'll come in with guns from the start and kill anyone that isn't a trumpet in the capitol.

I don't think people realize how lucky we were that they really thought they could just go in and "speak with a manager". Most of the ones from last time are out of or never went to jail.

Historically the second attempt is always bloodier. Winning the election is very unlikely to be the end of it.
