They’re actually more cotillions.

No reason to think the Mossad doesn’t devote some time here. They’re incredibly active on Reddit, and I’m sure they have some people arguing in bad faith on Lemmy as well.

Do you call this criticism? I suppose it will do if you don’t have anything more original to say. (😉)

“Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields” is one of the weirdest arguments in existence.

1. Gaza City is home to nearly 2 million people living in an 88-square-mile expanse, which is about 21,000 people per square mile. Is it “using people as human shields” if your fighters have no unpopulated place to strike from?

2. Even if we grant that the accusation is true, that doesn’t make it okay to retaliate against innocent civilians. If we all agree that October 7th was bad, I’ve got terrible news for you about the last 70 years of Israeli occupation.

3. Israel has killed 40,000 innocent civilians. I haven’t checked in a while, this number is surely low. It’s obvious to everyone that “human shields” aren’t effective, so why would Hamas think it was? Almost like this is just a talking point to use as Israel blows up another hospital.

4. Israel has fired at UN delegations, clearly marked Red Cross/Red Crescent vehicles, Aid NGOs, and Israeli hostages trying to escape under a white flag. Are we really supposed to trust them about “Hamas using human shields” when they shoot everything that moves and claim they were Hamas afterwards?

Thanks, Opabinia

Kitton mittons scientifically necessary. Don’t let your car stomp around making so much noise.

Take your up vote and go think about what you did.

The headline means “AOC is seen as the leader of the Dems and nobody is even close to her”.

The DNC chair is not usually an elected congressperson, and AOC is absolutely not looking for that job. They’re just talking about the person people think about as the leader.

Apparently, it was DEI keeping the planes in the air, so our new crackerforce is dumping the planes overboard. Won’t have to worry about them if we give them to the orcas.

In your 40s, you will pay for the sins of your 20s. Pay attention to your ergonomics because by the time you feel pain the damage is already done.

I use thick cushiony gel wrist supports and an ergonomic mouse. Why would anyone want to be less comfortable and risk future issues?

I believe they’re talking about YouTube shorts.

Everything is important and very interesting? There’s clear priorities, maybe even a checklist? Sign me up.

All politics are performative. Blocking Trump’s appointments would be a sign that they’re willing to fight for democracy…but they aren’t., so they don’t.

This is just more evidence that every time Dems blamed not being able to enact their promises on Joe Manchin, there were always going to be just enough Democratic “defectors” that their donors didn’t really have to worry.

Boo! 🤮

It is so infuriating how capitalists can use their stolen money to make people think they’re saints. (All the while their “help” causes more damage than if we let experts fix problems rather than pirate kings.)

And it’s even harder to criticize this bastard now because liberals think he’s on their “side” and any criticism must be a “vaccine microchip” loon even when you talk about things he did openly.

I’m not sure I understand what point you’re trying to make.

Democrats are not the left. It’s bad that they lose so often. If they weren’t so clearly beholden to their corporate donors they would win more.

I’ve composed a little ditty for my barbershop quartet:

“Hell Yeah!”

I’m afraid it loses something in text.

If the shoe fits, wear it. It’s weird that you think my comment “focused” on white people, and also weird that you’re trying to blame all Americans when Republicans are 90% white and the only group that the majority of which ever voted for Republicans.

Republicans are a white problem. There is no other way to put it. Sorry I’m not sorry if you’re unused to being talked about collectively., but not doing so is burying the lede. Every time you said “people”, it would be more accurate if you said “white people”, but you don’t even understand why you don’t do that.

Cutting a hole suggests that, like in the song, the dick will still be attached to him, violating the rule against live animals.

No, the majority of white people and the majority of people who voted voted for Trump. That is a big difference. As much as some liberals want to say “Not voting is the same as voting for Trump”, that is not true.

I don’t know much about UK politics, but Murdoch was pushing you right even before us.

I think about tabloids as “Propaganda that pays for itself”. What better way to sow distrust in science than wild stories about nonsense? Repeat a lie enough times and people start to believe it.

Tabloids have comparatively high sales because they’re pap aimed at the lowest common denominator. Young people don’t read print papers, so the tabloids make a business of confirming the worst Boomer fears.
