@jacobkornbluh The whole premise of the question is ridiculous here. If you have a state with a conventional military and a network of unofficial militias worldwide, and you disagree with their use of the latter, is it good to degrade the former? Pretty evidently not!

This exchange on Morning Joe re: Iran war ⬇️ Joe Scarborough: Is it a good thing that we're degrading Iran's military infrastructure? Yes or no. Schumer: “It's a premature question, what is going to happen in the next several months? … Is it worth it?”

@_GlobeObserver Tfw you are not a party to the Convention on Cluster Munitions and you start a war of choice against another non-party to the Convention on Cluster Munitions

🚨 BREAKING: Israeli Defense Minister says Iran’s cluster missile attacks on Israel are a “war crime.”

@satrns_nebula @fictionalangst You're right all we need is a community perpetual motion machine to extract free energy from, and a community spatial region which is 10% bigger than itself. Shouldn't be too hard after that.

@fictionalangst infrastructure and be able to live without certain comforts. It was possible at one point it can be again if ppl are willing to take care of each other and care ant each other

Ppl have been eating meat since the dawn of time. Indigenous communities eat meat in a non wasteful way. Industry is the problem not the consumption itself this is a dumb take.

@HeidiBachram Wars of choice end with the defeat of the aggressor, yes. The only other possibility is eternal war.

Pro-Pals in London TODAY chanting: “Iran, Iran make us proud. Shut the US bases down.” They don’t want to stop the war. They want the psychotic Islamic Republic to win.

@heavenly_otter @intentionalisms Yes I didn't think about the terrible ambiguity between past "would" and subjunctive (?) "would"; I meant the first! I was wondering if the "dating friends" discourse could be transferred to those days, but strangers would become friends-of-friends, if you see what I mean!

@cryptosocdem @intentionalisms People being introduced to potential romantic partners through friends is one of the routes that has most catastrophically fallen off. Use to be one of the most common, but just isn't now.

The entire dating crisis - and the whole modern culture of “dating” as a kind of sport or hobby to begin with - is entirely downstream of the apps. Almost nobody romantically pursues someone or “has a crush” in the ways we did even ~7 years ago. This is why the whole “should you date your friends” discourse happened. To anyone romantically active before the pandemic, “dating your friends” is what you *do*. Who else are you gonna date, your enemies? But post-pandemic “dating” is synonymous with “meeting online strangers and making a rational decision as to whether you want to take it further”, not “asking someone, presumably someone you previously know, out”

@TheRabbitHole Similarly, in a totalitarian state you can simply rise up through the party ranks.

Capitalism gives people a choice

@notcharlieslaw Like (1) you don't have to explain ten million times that they shouldn't click on ads in Windows, (2) to install a printer they just plug it in, not try to download the driver from some website and accidentally install malware

@notcharlieslaw Yes Linux is way better for that demographic!

@AndreTI @0xglitchbyte If you don't have a precise spec, it doesn't make sense to talk about correctness. Your point about laborious boilerplate is good, but I think optimistically this ought to mean programmers essentially become spec writers for problems that were out of reach because of that labour.

@0xglitchbyte AI coding models are still not that smart and it's tempting to use them at an excessive level of abstraction that causes issues. But if you can't get time savings *and* correctness out of them, it's a skill issue, not a permanent feature of the technology.

Now this is more like it

@BMarjamar @oxfordmarlboro @wight1984 @AndrewMakin20 @JustDeficient @abookofsymbols I think it will be severely under-extracted if you don't. I don't really know what to think about this discussion, but the question is whether you have to wait for it to cool down from a proper brewing temperature before serving it to someone.

@oxfordmarlboro @wight1984 @AndrewMakin20 @JustDeficient @abookofsymbols Dawg, do you brew your coffee So that it gives you third degree burns?

nobody understands the “McDonalds coffee too hot” tort case and it bugs me so much. a 79 year old woman suffered third degree burns on 6% of her skin when she spilled the coffee she just bought! she was right!

@ctnzr I guess you actually said "So ashamed" but DLSS got to your tweet and destroyed it

So proud of DLSS5: Fully generative neural rendering, in real-time, in real games. Mind-blowing realism. A whole new generation of real-time graphics. A decade of continuous research and development. Coming soon to PCs everywhere. 💚

@ergo_praxis They might view that demographic as lost anyway, at least for the time being.

At this point I'm pretty convinced that one thing zionist / israeli nationalist organisations could do to stop radicalizing people against Israel is stop holding events. The homicidally deranged fundamentalist aesthetic is probably not very helpful with the mass of secular people

@PenderynDic Thinking that that met the threshold puts you far to the right of MPs during the original debates on the law.

Home office wanted to proscribe. Not long later Brize Norton- a departure from tactic, that met threshold and media ran with it. Ppl should study spycops and wider counterinsurgency and learn from undermining of dissent inc agent provocateurs etc

@GBNEWS Shouldn't GBNews viewers be more concerned with who's going to be moving into their *graveyard* in 2030?

@yungdessalines @ceilingtwerker I don't think there's evidence that these plant milk crazes are caused by vegans; there are too few of us for that (plus I think people tend to opt for more practical plant milks!). Instead it's some kind of weird health thing among meat eaters who want to maintain their hedonism

@ceilingtwerker This why I keep my foot on vegan necks. I appreciate the spirit of reduced meat consumption but turning it into dogma has lead to the ballooning of harmful industries like the almond industry, which, aside from harming bees is disproportionately linked to water scarcity in CA

Because of almonds. They ship almost every honeybee in America to California during almond season for pollination. Something like 50% of them die during the process

@RupertLowe10 The word "halal" is unnecessary here.

If you haven't watched a video of halal slaughter, go and do it. Then tell me it shouldn't be banned.

@ITVNewsPolitics You don't apologise for a decision that had exactly the outcome you intended by saying it was a mistake. You should write that he claims to apologise and leave the matter of whether he did in fact apologise to your viewers' judgement

'It was my mistake, and I take responsibility for it' The prime minister apologises to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein over his appointment of Peter Mandelson as Washington ambassador 'It was me that made the mistake, and it's me that makes the apology to the victims of Epstein'

@Abtisam_Mohamed @OfSymbols @bat020 Would you abstain on a Bill that would result in the government blowing up your house if the same "good proposals" were also added to that policy, or would you be tempted to vote against in that case?

On jury trials other than the removal of jury's there were other good proposals in the Bill but will be working with others on amendments. Hence abstention. This is only the second reading and not the final bill. If there are no suitable changes which reflect required changes I am pushing for then there is a final vote on third reading.

Get it right at least. I abstained against proscription and have spoken on the issue in Parliament. Basic check of the records and you would've seen this. On jury trials, I spoke against because of the impact on vulnerable groups, abstained in the vote and will be working with Ministers to ensure there is an appropriate sunset clause/review through amendments at committee stage.
