None of what I'm saying disputes that. I hope Israel will be held accountable for all the crimes they've commited. I don't agree with how, but I agree with why they're doing it. What do you imagine they're even supposed to do? On top of the IDF's disregard, they're commonly used as human shields aswell.

I was replying to Count042@lemmy.ml
The murder of civilians by intentionally withholding food and water, and blockading all entrances to the area is explicitly a war crime.
I'm not disputing what they're saying. I just get the feeling, that people tend to be quite one-sided when it comes to this issue. I'm not actually even quite sure why I replied to this user in particular, as the message itself I mostly agree with.

Sure people can criticize Hamas, but they’ve done considerably less damage in this conflict.
But is that because they're being much more considerate and careful around civilians than the IDF or is it simply just lack of resources? Imagine if the roles were reversed.

I won’t argue with you, in the same way that I won’t engage in an argument about racism with a piece of shit that uses the N-word, you child-murder justifying fuck.
Yet here you are still arguing.

Made in Gaza: Hamas Rockets the Product of Foreign Aid and Smuggled Material
UN gives them fertilizer to grow food and feed the people. Hamas uses it to make rocket fuel.

Onko mahdollista? Tuntuu, että lemmy.world instanssin lankoihin kirjoitetut kommentit ei aiheuta mitään aktiivisuutta. Ei kommentteja, ylä- tai alaääniä. Lisäksi lähes kaikki vastaukset tulee muiden instanssien käyttäjiltä. EDIT: Ei mitään sittenkään. Se olikin ihan tavallinen banni. Kuvittelin, että niistä tulisi ilmoitus.

I don't think my adblocker cares what kind of ads they're trying to show me. If anything their algorithms will just get confused for why this guy who used to be here hours every day now only comes to watch war videos once a day but no longer comments or upvotes anything.

Eiköhän sitä itsekkin pörssisähköllä mennä. Pieni talo onneksi, niin lämmityskustannukset ei tähtitieteelliset tule olemaan jokatapauksessa. Täytyy varmaan laittaa varaajaan kellokytkin ja tutustua saisiko vessan lattialämmitystä ja ilmalämpöpumppua jotenkin ajastettua.

That's just Germany. I don't think the anti-nuclear sentiment is that popular elsewhere. Finland just started a new reactor, granted we began bulding it already back in 2005.

While I basically agree with what you're saying, I'd also like to point out that the money they get from you watching ads is miniscule. I don't remember which YouTuber it was, maybe Matthias Wandell, who said that if you donate just one dollar, that's more than they're ever going to profit from you watching ads.

Sure, but implying Ukraine would want to attack its neighbouring country, to take land for any reasons seems strange. That's more like what Russia would do.

They're making slow progress constantly but the front lines are barely moving. There's obviously a chance for a big break through as the first defences are always the heaviest and it should get easier after that, but there's still a long way to go, and they're both taking heavy casualties every single day.

I wonder what you guys thought animal testing is about, if this is somehow surprising to you. This is just another day at the office for the people running these experiments. The issue is not "Elon doing animal testing" but animal testing in itself.
However - if you think we shouldn't do it then you should also be aware of the tradeoffs. Without this cruelty there's no modern medicine either. Also, if you complain about this but eat meat then you're a hypocrite.

Back in the days only people with a strong will to survive did, infact, survive and the genes from those people are in all of us. Many like to pretend they don't posses these features but that's only because you're living a modern comfortable life, so you never need to rely on it. Especially compared to what it would've been 10k years ago.
You can take any modern man, and put him along with his family in a house and place an angry stranger pounding at the door shouting threats at his wife and kids and you'll soon discover the violence you just thought wasn't there.

Advanced tip is to remove the derailleur hanger and see against a flat surface wether it's straight or not. If not, and you don't have the calibration tool then just clamp it on a vice and use hammer/pliers/crecent wrench to bend it back straight. It's not going to be perfect but since it's already bent you're probably not going to make it worse either.

When adjusting bicycle derailleur, use the second smallest and second largest cogs to adjust the shifting and the biggest and smallest ones only to adjust the limit screws. There's no point adjusting the cable tension if your derailleur is resting against the limit screw.

Useless as a smart light yes, but the bulbs still work as normal lights even without internet connection. As a HUE customer, however I'm not very happy about this. I have been using them without an account for over 7 years.

Well, my response wasn't directed at the original question but rather your comment on it. What I'm trying to say here, is that even if there is a God with a well-defined set of absolute moral principles, if He chooses not to disclose them to us clearly, it then shouldn't be a source of concern either. Trying to figure out something that can't be known is a fool's errand. Instead, we should rather focus on finding out what constitutes a good life from our human perspective and strive to live accordingly. If, in the end, it turns out that actions like a gay marriage lead to condemnation, then it frankly just raises questions about the fairness of a God who hasn't been more clear about such important matters.
Thorny_Thicket 12 months ago • 100%
It's a bad analogy, but my argument isn't against our search of greater morality. Rather, it's about the relevance of God in that pursuit. Morality is a challenge that we, as humans, must figure out by ourselves. Even if there exists an all-knowing God with a specific set of moral rules in mind, if we cannot know/understand them, and God chooses not to reveal them, then, by definition, those rules are inaccessible to us. In such a scenario, morality as defined by God becomes irrelevant to our human experience. Instead, we should rely on reason, science, and evidence-based research to find what behaviour promotes the thriving of our species.

I'm a plumber. Just let it slide this time, okay?
I mean, you aren't trying to survive for the sake of survival itself, right? What do you do for recreation? To decompress or just to get your mind off the everyday struggle? Board games? Perhaps you've figured out a way to watch movies or listen to music? Is getting drunk or high too much of a risk?
Saako täällä mitenkään ladattua koko viestihistoriaa teksitiedostona mieluiten siten, että siinä olisi pelkästään viestit ilman mitään timestamppeja etc.
Voiko tuollaisen perus 5€ vuorokausiajastimen pistää lämminvesivaraajan töpseliin, että voisi vähän enempi hyötyä halvemmasta yösähköstä? 2KW näyttäisi olevan varaajassa tehoa ja Opalin ajastin tuotetietojen mukaan kestää 3.5KW. Kyseessä on siis aivan tuollainen töpseli seinään varaaja missä ei ole kuin lämpötilansäätönuppi. Mitenköhän pitkään tuollaisen 100 litran varaajan ylipäätään edes tarvitsee olla päällä vuorokaudessa? Kahden hengen käytössä ei ole vielä ainakaan koskaan loppunut kesken. Jostain tässä on pakko koittaa säästää kun tuntuu inflaatio kumoavan kaikki jo käytetyt konstit..
To be fair I still do these things but only when I'm alone. Personally I love finding big puddles and then dig drains with a stick or my heel and watch the water flow. Also love to throw a piece of wood into water and then toss stones high up in the air and try hit it imagining it's a warship I'm trying to bomb. Then also without going into details there are some pieces of clothing I would like to wear but don't because they're considered femine or gay.
As a compliment to the thread about near death experiences I'd really like hearing people's experiences of losing consciousness under general anesthesia and what's it like coming back. Also interested of things anesthetists may have noticed about this during their career.
I think that living in a constant fear or being attacked is something many people don't think about. As someone who regularly spends time alone in the woods at night I know how your minds start playing tricks on you and it can get quite intense and scary even though you know it's just animals out there. Just imagine trying to sleep in a abandoned house and then hearing a zombie walk outside. Even if you made sure that location is as safe as it can be that's still going to be terrifying as hell.
I use these alteast 3 times a week while mountain biking. Fits my foot like a glove and still holds water. Hands down the best shoes I've ever had. One thing to note though is that these are *not* for winter use. The rubber gets hard in cold weather and has zero grip on ice and I truly mean zero. Ask me how I know lol
I guess I'll go first: - I stayed home for the first few weeks and waited out the worst chaos - I was prepaired enough that I could stay at home - I own a 4x4 truck and had several spare canisters of fuel which enabled me to bug out eventually with all my gear and no need to stop looking for fuel - I stayed away from malls, supermarkets, gas stations and other hotspots - Every time I encountered a zombie I ran away instead of fighting it
Lets assume we develop the capacity to create virtual worlds that are near indistinguishable from the real world. We hook you up into a machine and you now find yourself in what effectively is a paraller reality where you get to be the king of your own universe (if you so desire). Nothing is off limits - everything you've ever dreamt of is possible. You can be the only person there, you can populate it with unconscious AI that *appears* consciouss or you can have other people visit your world and you can visit theirs aswell as spend time in "public worlds" with millions of other real people. Would you try it and do you think you'd prefer it over real world? Do you see it as a negative from individual perspective if significant part of the population basically spend their entire lives there?
Personally I've got enough food stored at home to survive the initial phase but if not I'd probably rather try to raid abandoned private homes instead of heading to the closest grocery store. I believe it's wise to avoid hotspots like that especially in the beginning.
I'd feel the safest somewhere off the ground. Second floor of a building with the stairs blocked/destroyed or perhaps in a hammock high up in a tree. I don't think I could fall asleep knowing they could just sneak up on and grab me
I'm a bit torn between a splitting axe and a mace/morning star of some sort. An axe offers better penetration and is useful for other tasks aswell but perhaps posseses greater risk of getting stuck. A mace is not as versatile but is highly effecive when making direct contact with the skull and is unlikely to get stuck. A mace is also easier to improvise and customize for individual preferences.

This indeed is my bike and it's been like that all summer but I'm not actually concerned that it's going to catastrophically fail on me though it might. Already have a new set of tires but I'll try to save them for winter to save the new grippy tread pattern. The extreme wear is most likely caused by running these at 4 - 5psi while it's way freezing outside.
Now with all the discussion going on about Facebook joining the fediverse and what to do about it many people seem to be advocating for defederating with them thinking that they're going to grab all your data and this is the only way to stop them. I'm not especially educated on the subject but my understanding is that this is not at all what defederating does and also I don't think that's going to stop them from getting the little data that's here publicly available for anyone anyways. I'm trying to get my head around the entire concept of the fediverse but it seems like there's very few people who actually understand how it works and these people seem entirely absent in these popular threads I'm reading. Voi vastata myös suomeksi.

This is probably a feature and not a bug but when I get a reply to a message and I click to see the context it takes me out of sopuli and logs me out.

EDIT: Apparently clicking the non-colored context button takes me to the message but doesn't log me out
