Just a reminder it is not antisemitic to denounce the atrocities committed by Israel. Now that is out of the way let’s get “real”.

Palestinians are living in a bird cage; they were screwed over in 1948 by the British when they were promised the land after that whole Laurance of Arabia thing iirc. The British had a back room deal with the Jews and screwed over the people that were promised the land in the first place. So once again British meddling through colonization destroyed an entire region and created a needless conflict. Now let’s look at today.

Its been what almost 100 years and the Palestinians are treated like the native Americans were when colonizers pushed them out of the ancestral lands. There are colonizers being allowed to take over people’s homes for “reasons” I have seen countless videos in which IDF intentionally cripples people not to mention assassination of journalists oh and don’t forget they fill water wells with cement making the Palestinians more desperate than ever. Now before I say this, I will say that the loss of noncombatants in any conflict is unacceptable and should be delt with accordingly.

With everything I said this thought always comes back to me in a torrent. One man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter, when you push people into a corner and dehumanize them while calling them human animals for generation these people are going to take help from anyone willing to help even if their intentions are not good. HAMAs comes out of the cruelty of the Israeli government. It’s just like Al Quida and 9/11 the United States was complicit to their fanatism. all I am saying is to look at the parallels and no one should be surprised this is happening.

Lastly any county that encourages children to write cute little notes to the children in other countries via bombs is morally, socially bankrupt by every sense of the meaning.

I am surprised no sanctions have been put on them for their unwillingness to let people properly evacuate without eviscerating the “safe” zones with bombs. Also cutting water and power off while carpet bombing should be considered a war crime. I have so many questions about the inactions and willingness to let the citizens of Gaza to be trapped in an open-air coffin.

Person 1: Smash n Grab with a side of Scorched Earth?

Person 2: Sounds like a recipe for destruction.

Person 1: but the heat would be so intense

Person 2: (Whispers) I’m a fire starter.

Person 1: (Laughs) I know.

The Tories are out of touch. Middle class only exists on paper anymore, and the Tories’ answer is to cut taxes for the rich?

Attention Lemmy users,

We apologize for any confusion or frustration this may cause. We are committed to providing our users with the best possible support, and we appreciate your understanding.

Thank you,

My personal values are irrelevant. I don’t make the rules I just abide by them to the letter. I am fully aware that not everyone who posts here is trying to get a Pulitzer Prize or has the time to write a ten-page editorial of the information they obtained from said news sites.

You may and already have come to your own conclusions in the reasoning for the language within this updated rule change. Not everyone is born a gifted writer and for those who lack the confidence using a system like bard may in fact teach, educate and expands one’s abilities.

To be blunt the rule changes are not of our doing we were informed that the way in which people post here is not in proper regulations of how lemmy.worl/admins would like posts to be posted.

I do not know if these rule changes are just for this community or others but I advise you to make reports of any community that does not fall in line with said rules to ensure that they are able to continue being in compliance.

The truth (not a lawyer) in most cases forums, online communities and other mediums on the internet are protected under the fair use doctrine in most countries. Even though this is clearly the case and there is nothing illegal being done such as blatant copy right violations it is lemmy.world’s full discretion in how they operate this server.

This means we will abide by any update to the rules that are enforced upon us even if they do not violate any laws. I hope these clears things up because you are not wrong in what you said. If you have more questions about the rules regarding posting direct articles with proper citations being against the rules, then by all means contact the admins and inform them of your concerns.

At the end of the day your concerns are ours since we want to create a healthy engaging community in which everyone is able to access important news events without violating lemmy.worlds rules.

Rehashing old news that is not relevant is a very effective disinformation tactic. It is done for many reasons but mostly to create fake outrage and rip open old wounds in a weaponized way or to derail meaningful conversation about present issues. We work hard to keep or posts relevant and purge reposts when necessary. If you see them let us know.

Nah, I was actually in agreement with everything froggy said.

Sometimes I don’t make sense.

Sorry if there was any confusion. I was just agreeing with your well written sentiment and experiences. The fact that you are able to acknowledge such things as white privilege is quite commendable. The fact that you took time to come back and reflect on your initial thoughts is something I wish everyone could do. You are a good egg!

That brings back memories! Around the 2000s I would go to a friend’s house back when you could create a lan party with the original Xbox play Halo and get blitz out of my mind. I would be so high that I would find a hiding spot in the map so i could collect myself. Those carefree times really do mean something in this 2/7 news dump of a world with all of its perpetual issues that never seem to stop. Maybe we were ignorant back then, but I guess that’s why they call it bliss! Thank you for sharing your story with me!

Hey dingleberry you can slap me around and call me Sally for all you want but if you are going to suggest solving world problems requires a “final solution” then them there are fighting words. We have a responsibility to ourselves and everyone here to put hate on display so it can’t fester and grow.

Your concern is my concern. From a news standpoint nothing should be behind a paywall IMO and hindering people’s ability to receive important news should be criminal. It’s just as bad as peer review journals being caught up in paywalls when you can just write a letter to the person responsible for the finding to get the paper for free.

I will try to seek out answers on this however I would advise you to directly contact admins for a better clarification into the details. I don’t want to mince words or accidently misrepresent facts. Just know I’m not trying to pass the buck I just don’t have all the answers.

However, our admins including AvaddonLFC are much for versed and knowledgeable in these matters, so I respectfully request that you ask them directly for a better understanding.

Hey, I think I might to be able to provide some into this insight of yours but before doing so I must let you know that I am not a medical professional and I highly advise you to seek help. Everyone feels like this at some point but when feeling like this it is about what you do or don’t do. That being said here is a site that might help you.

I can’t say I know exactly how you feel because I’m not you however what I can do is reflect upon what you said. For me I have felt as if life feels like Groundhog Day sometimes.

Everything is in a loop for better or worse and it seems as if the next day will be more of the same. That’s how I used to feel, however sometimes one needs to slow down and focus on the little things. It is quite easy to get stuck in an existential crisis, everyone does and that’s okay. The thing that matters or at least mattered to me is how I moved forward.

I’ll be honest, I am quite the nihilist and in some ways see life as a pointless journey. However, there is another side to it. Knowing that there might not be any point to anything is quite liberating. I am free to do as I please and take control of my life without being concerned about what others may think or how I am perceived.

Ask yourself: are you burned out or do you need a change in your life? Those are two important things to consider. What you say is a bit of a paradox because you can’t have one without the other. I too wish there was a pause button on life, but the only pause I get is when I sleep, and I don’t do much of that.

If you can, get a pen and paper and write down your concerns. Then categorize them and look at one at a time. Identify each thing to try and find your center so you don’t feel trapped. Maybe mix things up if you are in a rut.

Just remember, we are all here for you. Even if we aren’t all medical experts, we are more than willing to listen and talk. Because in this world, most people just want to talk about their problems and not listen to the issues and struggles of others. So you are in the right place. If you need anything at all, PM one of our mods or make a post and we will be here for you!

I’m black and I don’t use the n-word. It’s a word of hate and oppression, and I don’t want to be associated with it. I don’t think it’s possible to “repurpose” the word, and it should be buried in the footnotes of history. That being said there is a side bar with clear rules if you have any difficulty abiding by them please let us know.

The word is ugly with and without the “a”. It is a word that was used to terrorize enslaved people and is still used to this day to dehumanize black people. Anyone especially black people should not be using that word.

Do you apply this logic to racial slurs as well?

Sorry four your loss, while her death may weigh heavy on you please be sure to take care of your self. While we can not control these things what we can do is put energy into the ones we love. As for your tumor what type of cancer is it if you don’t mind me asking my grandmother had cancer and it was hard on her but nowadays the treatments have improved much.

Can you elaborate on her reasons for wanting a divorce have you considered meeting with a couples therapist? Sometimes in relationships it’s hard to be honest and transparent without a third party looking at the whole picture.

Before going through such a thing just consider or ask her about it. The worse she can say is no. I hope things get better for you.

Hey, so I’m a nobody but I always have something to say and here are some things for you to think about.

Yeah, you’re frustrated and it’s clear that you’re concerned about the health of the fediverse, and that’s a good attitude. Just know that I can’t speak for .world admins, but I might be able to help you understand some of their decisions.

Have you even considered that they’re just trying to organically grow the userbase?

.world is one of the most popular instances, and for good reason. With open registrations, they will come. You know the movie Field of Dreams? He built it, and they came. The same could be said about .world.

Another thought to chew on is the fact that they’re just not able to close registrations at this time.

The instance is being DDoSed to the point of possibly stretching resources thin, and they may have to balance the influx of new users at this time.

At the end of the day, whatever the reason is, sure, the admins need to work hard on creating policies that help lemmy and lemmy.world grow in a healthy way.

The health of lemmy should come first, but in order to stay healthy, admins have to make hard choices, and there has to be a little give and take from everyone, including the users of the instance, not just them.

It’s good to outline your concerns, but maybe next time consider being a little more constructive and looking at the whole picture.

There are a lot of moving parts, and I, for one, am quite impressed with what I’ve seen so far. They’ve chosen the right servers, mitigated serious issues behind the scenes, and above all else, have put up with me.

So, yeah, maybe chill out a little bit and give them some time to work things out.

I’m sure they’re doing their best to keep the fediverse healthy, and I’m confident that they’ll figure things out.

In the meantime, why don’t you go create some content and help build up the fediverse?

That’s always a good way to make a difference.

You might be laughing at the fog, but you aren’t far from the truth period take a moment to look into the John Deere hacker’s period you have these rough black farmers learning how to hack their combined machines, so they can work on them without having to have proprietary software, it is quite interesting and amazing period

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been accused of operating secret police stations in countries around the world. These stations are reportedly used to monitor and intimidate Chinese citizens who live abroad, as well as to track and silence critics of the CCP.

In 2019, the United States Department of Justice indicted two Chinese citizens for operating an illegal Chinese police station in New York City. The station was reportedly used to collect information on Chinese dissidents living in the United States.

In 2020, a report by Safeguard Defenders, a human rights group, found evidence of more than 100 secret CCP police stations operating in countries around the world. The report also found that the CCP was using these stations to track and harass Chinese citizens who were critical of the government.

The CCP has denied the existence of these secret police stations, but the evidence suggests otherwise. The stations are a clear violation of the sovereignty of the countries in which they operate, and they pose a serious threat to the freedom of Chinese citizens living abroad.

In addition to the secret police stations, the CCP has also been accused of using other methods to monitor and intimidate Chinese citizens abroad. For example, the CCP has been known to hack into the phones and computers of Chinese citizens, and it has also been known to use social media to track and harass critics of the government.

The CCP’s efforts to monitor and intimidate Chinese citizens abroad are a serious threat to freedom of speech and expression. These efforts also send a clear message to Chinese citizens that they are not free to speak out against the government, even when they are living outside of China.
