Educational

As far as I understand Israel doesn't claim that it didn't bomb a school area, it claims that it was filled with terrorists and had to go.

If I'm understanding this right, Israel is saying "this is the price that Gaza pays because we have to kill the terrorists" while also trying to minimize to the press how many civilians were actually caught up in these bombings.

Basically killing Hamas is above any Palestinian human rights for Israel, though I suspect that if the world wasn't watching, the genocidal government there would actually just straight up give orders to kill them all.

Theory: symbiotic relationship. mermaids produce excessive milk at all life stages so the starfish drink it making the starfish well feed and the mermaid milked (which is important in over production of milk)

Intellectually disabled teen shot by Idaho police dies after being removed from life support

What a stupid headline. He was killed from a police shooting, not from being removed from life support.

Maybe next time a killer is on trail he cpuld just argue that the victim just happened to die later from blood loss, not from the shooting.

I wish headlines were more direct.

"Police killed..." "Teacher raped..." "Politician lied..."

Not "Victim died after police..." "Teacher had sex with underage student..." Etc

Micro-retirement

Not satire: https://www.fastcompany.com/91357784/what-is-a-micro-retirement-inside-the-latest-gen-z-trend

But they specify that unlike PTO, this is an unpaid time off, which can be a break inbetween jobs or a unpaid vacation.

Still fucking ridiculous to call it "micro-retirement"

Soon we will hear how gen z is having nano-retirements every 5 days of work that can include 2 days of no work and often destructive behaviour such as parties and binge watching tv.

Climate scientist says 2/3rds of the world is under an effective 'death sentence' because of global warming

Reply in thread

I think people are missing the point, it's not about who survives, it's about who dies and suffers.

If I told you (made up numbers) that in the next 50 years, 100 million people will die an average of 20 years early because of climate change. Sure, 100 million is just about 1.3% of humans, but it's still 100 million people, who will die at 50 instaed of 70, or at 25 instead of 45, these are people who will probably die from heat, from natrual disasters, from famine, from poor health as economies collapse.

We won't be fine, someone will be, but WE, as a group, won't be fine.

In fact, we are already not fine but it's mostly felt in poor contries.

Not to kill the mood but the harsh truth is that the generations before us doomed a lot of us, and the current generations are just starting to get it, and future generations will truly feel the ignorance of our past and the indifference of our present.

Cops burst into women's restroom to remove butch lesbian, accusing her of being a man - LGBTQ Nation

Everyone with half a brain saw this coming as a direct result of trans discrimination. But I'm sure the cops will tell us how the potential of stopping a "man" from peeing in the wrong place is worth all "butch" women losing the right for privacy and the right to be innocent until proven without any reasonable doubt to be guilty.

They are literally trying convince us that we should give up basic human rights because maybe bathrooms are used by the "wrong" sex.
