Part of me thinks it’s propaganda not bargaining power. On several occasions the IDF has dropped bombs on or shot the hostages accidentaly wontonly. The message Hamas is maybe trying to send is that the IDF doesn’t care about saving the hostages. The IDF just want to eradicate the Palestinians. Then again I’m halfway around the world so what do I really know?
Oh my. Hey commenters, give me a few minutes before you tear this reply to pieces to get a bag of popcorn. I wana watch this trainwreck.
Would you look at that, Israel said that Hammas was using it as a base of operations.

[s] It’s almost like Israel has labeled every Palestinian living in Gaza whose over five years old as a member of Hammas. Hammas must be doing something right to recruit all of them at such a young age. [/s]
That’s because AMD hasn’t made a serious entry in the budget space since 2021. Until they release the Ryzen 3 8300 the only modern low end CPUs are made by Intel.
It’s actually not anything new. It’s called Pumped Storage Hydropower .
Realistically, it’s only a matter of time until Steam becomes as enshittificated as any other services. There is profit to be made from Steam selling advertising space and customer data. They can either choose to capitalize on the profits that are in front of them, or allow another company to and take that capital from them. For a business it’s not a matter of what’s right and wrong anymore but consume or be consumed. If Steam isn’t willing to do that someone else will be willing to play the long game and do it. Then it’ll be only a matter of time until Steam gets acquired by another company and then it’s game over.
This comment is for anyone who is experiencing nuclear-phobia, kinda like I do, to which I strictly mean living with a state of fear or dread about a nuclear apocalypse, this development does puts the world one step closer. It’s okay to be scared by that, I know I am. It doesn’t mean the world is one step away from a nuclear apocalypse. The world has been closer to the brink of nuclear war before and we’re all still here. It’s okay to breathe.
Give it a few more months and ads will be back. They dropped us in boiling water and expected us to just accept it. Microsoft will just slowly boil us next time.
Ukraine isn’t letting any prisoner serve,
Among those not eligible to serve include those found guilty of sexual violence, killing two or more people, serious corruption and former high-ranking officials, Shuliak said.
Hopefully they won’t be turned into cannon fodder like Russia did to their prisoner soldiers.
What’s Marvel brain? I tried looking it up but just got a bunch of marvel characters with large heads.
Actually, maybe? Meta is an example of an arbitrary trademark. Meta is a word in everyday usage, so it becomes a lot more difficult to defend than say Kodak which isn’t a word and is an example of an fanciful trademark. Could cooperate stooges take them to court and throw so much money at them they can even make a defense, of course. This is America were talking, cash is king and country. It just wouldn’t be very easy.
While your idealism is enviable, it’s also very nieve.
Legitimate question, maybe it’s because the practice of conscription is rooted in patriarchy? The idea that a group of men with superior social power forcing men with inferior social power to fight and die for them seems to be very patriarchal to me. With that lens it makes sense why women aren’t conscripted, it’s not their job. Maybe their job is to be the prize for the victor…? That’s dark…
Completely subjectively! It’s inpart because of how they acquire most of their funding but my own personal bias is the most impactful.
You are correct, every source of media has a bias. To expand upon your comment. Whenever we are consuming media and in particular news that sould always be in our minds. Who’s is sponsoring this, what is trying to be accomplished by this piece?
Al Jazeera has a stronger bias than most but considering that it’s essentially state media they are a lot more objective than I expect they would be. It’s not a trash news source but it definitely takes more scrutiny than say DW news.
Absolutely, but they weren’t arraigned as far as the article suggests. Also the language of the article is really suggestive. Intolerance can not be tolerated, and perhaps the police coming around to have a chat with intolerant people is a good thing. It’s concerning it happened but yeah, doubtful that’s the full story.

You’re absolutely right, to add a bit more depth to the conversation, providing a home is the first step. Those homes need to be dispersed throughout a whole community so no single neighborhood has to handle the influx. As opposed to project housing. They need to be near services like welfare, public transportation, food banks, etc, and occupational opportunities to break the cycle of poverty. In many places that means a job but it doesn’t necessarily have to be.
I think the cause of all this is simple, a system where ultimately your only value is the wealth you generate instead of valuing the person we all are. I also think that the solution will be complicated. I’ve been fooled too many times by the simple solution to fall for it here.
I have a sinking feeling it won’t be a safe voyage. Dollars to donuts the IDF sinks it and claims that it was actually a weapons shipment headed to Hamas and not humanitarian aid for Palestinians.
