I'd be willing to linearly downscale.

I am sure that for me 3 Million is more than i could ever reasonably spend for the rest of my life.

So with 8760 hours in a year, that would be like 53 Minutes. You know what, make it a full hour.

It is the courts upholding it though.

It took like two months now that Palestine Action are allowed to get an appeals hearing in November iirc.
Courts could have decided for the proscription to not be applicable until a proper hearing takes place. Instead it was upheld.

So Israel is now announcing its intent to torture EU citizens?

What comes next, invading Cyprus?

How am i supposed to trust amazon with global shipping and running datacenters all over the world, when they can't handle Jeff from accounting working from home and being available for a video call any time?

The world if half of the accusations of reactionaries, neoliberals and other fascists against moderate and actual progressives were true:

The most absurd about this imo. is that Arabic is considered promoting terrorism, but Vikings are not.

The UK used to run the flights themselves with their own military spy planes. They argued that this would strictly be for hostage rescue. Given that they spent hours circling Gaza daily and live-streaming any and all information to the Israelis for almost two years, a time in which not even a hand full of hostages were recovered by military means, that seems a big lie.

Now as the UK feels pressured to stop their direct involvement, they are instead paying American private contractors with UK taxpayer money, to do the dirty work for them. We now have the evidence as those were too stupid to turn their transponders off. Before that Matt Kennard could only verify multiple spy planes taking off and landing from and towards Gaza at the UK army base in Cyprus daily. But they turned off their transponders once they came close to the coast of Palestine.

EDIT: See for instance

"escalation" of unarmed people bringing food to people being starved on purpose, knowing they will probably be assaulted and abducted by armed military gangs on the way.

The escalation is coming from the armed thugs assaulting the ships, not the other way round.

The definition of genocide by the UN convention:

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

If the target is to destroy a group as a group and any of these acts are committed, it is genocide. Mass murder is the "prevalent" act, but it is not a requirement for genocide.

UK is running spy flights for Israel, or now contracting them out to US mercenaries, to help Israel turn Gaza into rubble and mass slaughter Civilians. The UK claimed it would be solely for hostage rescue, but there was hardly any hostages recovered by military means and certainly no daily attempts at rescuing hostages, but Britain provided intel daily for the past almost two years.

The UK government said they stopped their flights amid mounting pressure, but that was just a lie as they contracted it out instead to distance themselves, which also indicates that they know exactly which crimes they have been and are supporting.

In Germany someone trolled a mayor candidate of one of the Nazi parties with that. He fell for it

They are probably involved. Maxwells father had known ties with Mossad, a former Israeli prime minister had lived at Epsteins place for a couple weeks and raped children with him. Recently the head of Israeli cybersecurity tried to groom a minor to rape her in Las Vegas...

Working from scratch is better than a terrible frame.

We should call them extracts and their communities "extractor communities"

Ich finde ein Halteverbot im Umkreis von 200m zu Schulen 07:00-10:00 und 14:00-17:00 gut. Verstöße sollten grundsätzlich mit Abschleppen und Fahrverbot geahndet werden. Ausnahmen sollte es nur für nachweislich gehbehinderte Kinder und Eltern geben, und es sollte eine spezielle Haltezone nahe dem Eingang dafür geben.

Yeah sure. I totally didn't pull them under water for a few seconds or anything like that. No good kid would do that in a lake.

I am a bit confused by

A men’s speedo covers more than your most basic bikini, are way harder to find and aren’t usually sold in boy’s sizes

When i was in a swimming club as a kid, we almost all wore "speedos". Someone wearing the versions with a little bit of leg on them was the rare exception. I used to be made fun of at lakes in the summer sometimes by people wearing the "bermuda shorts". Turns out it is a bad idea to make fun of someone who is good at swimming while being in the water and wearing the faster swimwear.

The representatives asked Wikimedia’s CEO, Maryana Iskander, for “assistance in obtaining documents and communications regarding individuals (or specific accounts) serving as Wikipedia volunteer editors who violated Wikipedia platform policies as well as your own efforts to thwart intentional, organized efforts to inject bias into important and sensitive topics.”

Klein described the study’s interpretation of the facts as “very skewed” and said it was reliant “on a faulty premise: that criticism of Israel or Zionism is inherently antisemitic.”

“To establish foul play, the ADL would need to demonstrate that Wikipedia content about Israel and Zionism regularly expresses as fact ideas that diverge from broadly held scholarly opinions on the matters in question,” Klein said. “But where is the evidence of editors repeatedly misrepresenting or contradicting peer-reviewed literature? There is none. The report simply wants us to take the ADL’s word for it.”

The obvious solution is to provide the House with information on all the Zionists trying to inject bias into topics.

Ich habe Kingdom Come Deliverance angefangen.

Ich hatte nach einem "klassischem" RPG gesucht, aber ewig nichts gefunden. Das Kampfsystem habe ich noch nicht so raus, aber die Story und die Inszenierung gefallen mir sehr.

The article mentions failed jamming attempts.

I guess it is easy to jam civilian drones, but more sophisticated military ones probably have systems to navigate without a constant signal connection. i guess once in place and knowing the last heading, returning "home" should be rather easy to automate.
