no thank you, i get all my deals from quick deals thank you very much

did you read the article?

British Wikipedian, Stuart Marshall, made the final ruling in September, decisively supporting the article’s inclusion. “Based on the strength of the arguments … and it’s not close … I discarded the argument that scholars haven’t reached a conclusion on whether the Gaza genocide is really taking place”, Marshall wrote in his decision. “The matter remains contested, but there’s a metric truckload of scholarly sources linked in this discussion that show a clear predominance of academics who say that it is.”

Marshall concluded his ruling with the straightforward statement: “We follow the scholars.”

On its “Gaza genocide” page, it states that “Experts, governments, United Nations agencies, and non-governmental organisations have accused Israel of carrying out a genocide against the Palestinian people during its invasion and bombing of the Gaza Strip in the ongoing Israel–Hamas war.”

whoa now that is a crazy coincidence

not sure who’s listening to this, but i thought i’d throw my hat in the ring. i can also burn all my money extremely quickly, if desirable.

aren’t ironclads a type of ship in civ6? is this a civ6 reference?

i take comfort in knowing that most of the time it’s going to be sarcasm, since (in my experience) there are very few trump supporters on lemmy. and the few trump supporters that i’ve seen don’t tend to last.

crazy to think that trump might do exactly what he said he was going to do. how could we, the voters, have predicted this?

what was that? like $4?

i would imagine it is. they fought very hard for it

no it does not. it’s basically just a poll to see what other countries think. at least, that’s my understanding based on what i’ve read.

edit: formmatting. also i should clarify that reddit isn’t a particularly reliable source, but i included it because the top comments on that post agree with the other sources linked, and give provide simple answers to the question

it’s very telling that being pro palestine is immediately interpreted as being “anti israel”

what are the differences between a rare covid test and an uncommon covid test?

that quote you gave was taken entirely out of context. here’s the very next sentence:

In presenting our findings, we argue that a comprehensive look at sexual victimization, which includes male perpetration and adds female perpetration, is consistent with feminist principles in important ways.

does this mean the twitter brand is up for grabs? anyone can start up a new website at twitter dot com? musk’s letting go of it completely?

that’s not really a problem if the judge simply changes their name

the whole “there are two sides to every issue” mantra that i hear so many people use in everyday life has got to be contributing to this. i think a lot of people view the “two sides thing” as a tautology, and that enables them to more easily “pick a side” on things, assuming that both sides always have some merit to them. and some people use it to avoid picking sides entirely, because if they make something seem complicated enough then they don’t have to actually say anything meaningful about it.

i would really like to see that mantra disappear altogether, or at the very least have people stop using it as an excuse for not having a well founded opinion. it does seem like people don’t let it slide very much on lemmy though, which is nice.

we’ll be done with it exactly when the next fad picks up steam

it really lasted less time than liz truss

it also bothers me when people say “my algorithm” to refer to the thing that recommends posts to them. people shouldn’t ever say “my algorithm” unless they personally own a copy of the kick-ass prog-metal band
