If you don’t have any luck dumpster diving it might be worth checking if any of your local supermarkets (or even bakeries) are using Too Good to Go. They decide how much to put in the package, but a generous place will give you a bunch of food for very little money.

The world is full of surprises!

As genocide per definition requires internt, the argument that “whoops, it was an accident!” might actually hold up in court.

Of course it is not an accident, and central authorities (Netanyahu and his fascists) know exactly what they’re doing. But this is what they’re betting on, and time will tell if it works out for them.

The genocide convention and the state of Israel were brothers in birth, both being responses to the atrocities of the Holocaust. This time around they will be reunited as enemies.

You should just need to write !harrypotter@literature.cafe in the comment box, and the link is generated automatically. Should work in both Lemmy and kbin at least, not sure about mbin but would make sense that it works there as well. :)

Kbin needs to be aware of the community first, so my first link didn’t work properly because of that. After interacting with the community once the !community@example.com format works just fine. :)

I subscribed from Kbin.social now, so future posts should be visible from there. :)

I think this should work for everyone: !harrypotter

I think it’s not so difficult to understand the appeal, of course for those deeply religious who long back to Zion, but also to those who just long for a home country. I know old secular Jews who, before all this bullshit, was considering moving to Tel Aviv for their retirement because it felt more like home to them then the US, despite being American all their lives and despite being politically progressive and very much not on the Bibi side of things.

It’s a complicated situation now - on one hand I think it’s crucial that Jews should not feel the need to be apologetic or to constantly have to emphasize that they don’t represent a government they have nothing to do with. If that becomes the standard we’re already lost. On the other hand, people might need to hear it in order to understand Netanyahu is not some supreme leader of the unified Jews of the world, as too many people seem eager to believe.

I have to admit I’ve had this approach taking to Israelites for a while - I never felt comfortable in a conversation before having some sort of an indication of their political leaning. Israelites seem to often have a way of talking about things without talking about things, which usually makes it clear pretty quickly where they stand. I guess they also often feel a need to place themselves.

As for Jewish people living outside of Israel, I think the fact that they’ve all had a standing invitation to move to Israel and opted not to make use of it speaks for itself. Sure there are Bibi supporters, but that goes for Christians as well.

Still I see where you’re coming from of course. And I find it freaking terrifying to be honest.

This is what I don’t get here. Why the hell do people interpret this as if it’s spreading Israeli propaganda?

We know Hamas killed substantial number of innocent people and are keeping hostages.

We know these hostages are kept somewhere in Gaza.

We know Israel is bombing the shit out of Gaza, actively destroying civilian infrastructure.

What we learn from this is that Israel has indeed killed hostages in their indiscriminate bombing, that Hamas seem to be keeping hostages alive when they are not killed by Israeli bombs, and that being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza is still an awful situation to be in.

If this makes Hamas look bad it’s because they are bad.

If you think it makes Israel look good you’re sick in the head - this is triggered by them intentionally bombing Gaza until there’s nothing left.

If you’re upset that it makes a Jewish person look human then fuck right off you worthless piece of shit.

This might be my favourite one after Cow Tools.

It’s dumb, but if it catches on we can begin referring to his Chinese colleague as Poohtin. So I’m all for it.

Yeah, sorry, didn’t mean to come across as aggressive or dismissive of your point. Reading it back I realize “?!” comes across as a bit much.

I’m just a bit tired that every time we learn in some new way that the Republican party consists of a bunch of authoritarians we’re supposed to act as if we just learned something new.

“Turns out”?! Trump was literally recorded calling around threatening people not to count votes. The effort to rig the election was made entirely in the open, the Republicans were basically talking about it on Fox News.

A lot of Israelis are blaming Netanyahu for the war, the Supreme Court of Israel struck down his constitutional reform, and thanks to him Israel can no longer take the support of their oldest allies completely for granted. The relationship between the US and Israel was already at an all-time low before all this thanks to Netanyahu being a piece of shit.

Of course, there’s also the flip side of the coin: Netanyahu has always had a fear based platform, and the political climate lends itself well to that at the moment. There’s always a rally behind the flag effect, and elections are still far away. So even if he loses the next election in a landslide that might be too late. Frankly it has been too late for many years already.

So all in all I agree in not being incredibly optimistic.

Or, even better, the beginning of Isreal’s transformation into a country where people see through the bullshit of the far-right and elect decent leaders, leaving Netanyahu to rot in prison.

Distributions like Linux Mint and Ubuntu don’t have much of a learning curve at all these days. If you’re curious, you could install them on an USB drive and play around with it without installing.

I’ve been using Linux for well over a decade now, but I’m not an advanced user at all. I mostly just like it because it just works.

“Christianity doesn’t exist because God isn’t real”

It’s not exactly a deserted wasteland - it’s not that easy to find somewhere to dump 170m tons of mining waste without affecting some ecosystem or another.

The fjords are pretty and symbolically nice, but the fact is that as long as there’s a demand for minerals, they have to be dug from somewhere, and ecosystems are going to be affected by it. Moving the problem somewhere else doesn’t solve anything.

It reminds me of that time we needed rocks for road construction in Norway, and we had decided all the mountains in the region were too precious to be destroyed for that kind of purpose. So we ended up buying vast quantities stones from China rather than using locally sourced products. Which is great - that way they can fuck up their nature instead.

If we don’t want mining we just have to stop consuming. Moving problems out of sight doesn’t solve anything.
