Recognising that some portions of the population are at higher risk leads to better outcomes for them if we follow where that thinking leads. The idea that all men are persecuted as men are more likely to take others rights, in a patriarchy where women have less rights, pay and justice is ridiculous.

Men should not be assumed guilty. Most aren’t and never will be. However, we should recognise those who are at risk and place protections for them. Lack of protections for those that are higher risk is not the same as selectively prosecuting them, which is your implication.

Payment info is a good use case for 2fa though. Personally, I use vaultwarden to hold my payment details. Open source and I choose my log in requirements, although 2fa is required at least once. From then on, fingerprint on my phone is fine or pin on a browser.

Displaced

Lol, sounds like an improvement. Group projects are always terrible as someone does nothing. At least with ai, their nothing is productive. AI can elevate the mediocre and untalented to mediocre and untalented production.

Yep, there is not a big cabal of pregnant women having concentration caps built to hold white men. Not all men are dangerous, but more are than pregnant women.

Lol, yes, I was thinking instant noodles would work too.

Apparently muscle twitches and spasms. Perfectly normal and common. Before phones, we all got them but just ignored them and filtered them out. Phones trained us to monitor for them so we now notice them.

I mean that Israel depends on usa support. That could disappear on a whim.

War crimes and normalised genocide is a risk to all countries sovereignty.

You’re looking at the current layout of the middle east. It’s a constantly changing unstable environment. Iran going nuclear is in nobodies interest but Iran.

Not punishing Russia for invasion of Ukraine showed the world that if you don’t want to be subject to larger countries rule, you need nukes. Ukraine is the only country to voluntarily give them up. Look how that turned out. Israel has not signed the non proliferation treaty. All other signatory countries have an obligation to stop them too. Where was that will?

Israel won’t be isolated due to protests. Israel receives support as a vassal state to be useful in the middle east. USA is no longer dependent on the middle east. Europe less so, but still dependent. Israel is therefore less useful. So support will end eventually, irrespective of Israel’s actions. Israel might hasten that end with actions that are politically damaging for the politicians in countries that enable their genocide.

Lol, calling Russia the largest country in the world is a strange way to increase the might of a faded superpower who can’t deploy an army to win against a country much smaller than them.

It is absolutely a big deal and most of Europe offers financial, military and humanitarian assistance above what you’ll see on Lemmy. The difference is the genocide in Palestine is war crime after war crime. Sure, Russia commits and has committed war crimes, but even they follow most of the rules of war. Israel is genocidal. It’s supported by their people. It’s abhorrent.

I think Israel is foolish. They are protected by their international support and not viable on their own. Trump is unpredictable and nationalistic. They could get left out in the cold, like USA did to Ukraine very easily. Netanyahu has is ear. As does Putin and the Saudis. In trumps case, it’ll be what he can get. Israel have less to offer while requiring the funding the others don’t.

TACO

Lol, this new date is not a new deadline but an extension of the other extension from the reversal.

Nobody takes them seriously any more. They will happen, but other countries are just diversifying their chains. US companies and people are really the ones who gets affected. Foreign companies, while affected won’t be affected as much. With globalisation, the USA is still a large market but most international companies trade globally and the rise of other markets more than makes up for the USA. It’s not the 80s.

Some companies that can switch to American supply chains will do great at first while those that can’t will suffer. The UD market is big enough that the gangbuster companies will still face competition eventually, so to will be temporary at best. Consumer sentiment will still drop so all companies will suffer a bit.

People will have higher prices and less jobs. Damn that biden. He did this.

Historically the world was more oil dependent and the middle east had lots. That led to conflicts both internally and from the west. Israel was seen as an ally within that region. Allies can be helpful for logistics and safety of good passage.

However, as the world transitions to cleaner energy, the middle east becomes less important. America.is now a net exporter rather than importer.for instance. So Israel is using all its political capital to carry out the genocide it’s wanted for years. Governments are gradually turning on them die the grotesque evil they are carrying out and the repercussions from voter sentiment.

Add to the mix historical racism and antisemitism, the holocaust, Netanyahu’s legal troubles etc and it starts becoming more complex.

It is what you make it. So fair play for making a post for discussion. It’s not dead but not very active.

Theoretically, all people are capable of being president, but I ky very few get there, irrespective of ability.

You’re right about their attributes being a guide. I reckon it’s down to the confidence, more than anything. Bullys are typically seen as acting out due to their own insecurity. However, the skills learned in putting themselves above others likely helps to achieve personal goals. It’s likely similar for attractive people and confidence. Confidence is a drug that affects other people.

It’s anti Israel, being a force of Israel. The big trick is Israel conflating all criticism with bigotry.

You know what’s really damaging? Genocide. Crimea against humanity.

I’ve got 2 kids in primary school. We teach them to be kind and caring, that cheaters never win. That bullies are bullies because they are not happy.

However a study came out that compared bullies and non bullies. Bullies kids are more likely to be successful financially and socially based on studies. I was sad for humanity when o found out.

It makes sense, in the same way that it makes sense that CEO’s are more likely to be sociopaths. Human brains are made for small societies. When it’s a larger society, negative traits can be helpful to get ahead. It’s likely part of the reason we experience wars and famine and billionaires.

True, I was thinking along theines of hasn’t completed the approval process. I should have phrased better.

Maco taco, or eco taco?

Yes, but still needs to be submitted for verification and approval. As per the article, they withdrew the precious application for a combined shot. It’s not clear if that’s due to more data, or just that this newer one is more promising.

And is it really a conspiracy when it’s true?

Haha, that was my point.
