@WolfReuter3 @JohnSimpsonNews > everyone in Beirut knows to takes these orders seriously
Yeap, people in another country know to follow our orders: if we say abandon your house — they must comply! I don't see a problem there

Sir, let me clarify:
Easy:
Structure used for military purpose = legitimate military target.
Evacuation order: Israel‘s way of making sure Protocol Additional to the GC is fulfilled.
Remaining civilians killed: Legally collaterals. Everyone in Beirut knows to take these orders dead serious. That should make you wonder. Instead.
Military purpose: Destroying enemy infrastructure.
Had the purpose been elimination of specific military personell instead of infrastructure, it would look very different. Like this one below.
Problem: I am pretty sure you know all this and ask your “questions” for an entirely different reason.
Sad.

Israel's intelligence is next-level: 4 IRGC commanders in Lebanon tried to hide. They booked 15 hotel rooms under false names, and used only 1 room. They disabled all hotel security cameras. All 4 were killed today with a single missile to their room. No hotel guest was harmed.

I don’t get it. If Hezbollah had flats in this block (unlikely in central Beirut but not impossible) why did the Israelis give everyone inside an hour to get out — including those they wanted to kill? And if there weren’t any Hezbollah people there, why destroy a building with dozens of civilians in it?
The Associated Press@AP
An Israeli airstrike struck an apartment building in central Beirut, on Wednesday. The Israeli army had warned residents to evacuate about an hour before completely flattening it as day broke.

Rape is the only crime I can think of that's 100% inexcusable. There's absolutely no reason for it ever. In any circumstance. You can murder in self defence, you can steal to help your starving family. Even doing illegal drugs can really help calm people down.
But rape doesn't help anyone except the rapisto And it just baffles me to this day the way people will excuse rape with, "Well he/she was drunk." or "What was she wearing?" or "He's a guy though, he probably enjoyed it."
it's the one crime that everyone should find inexcusable and yet it's the one that people try to justify the most often.

@sphere_homotopy есть подозрение, что тот уровень вовлечения в компьютерные игры, который японцы называют "хобби" — у нас называется "киберспорт"
Русский
мне очень нравится что японцы могут свободно на вопрос "какое у тебя хобби" ответить "играть в компьютерные игры"
у нас принято элитарную шизу какую-то выдумывать а это типа не хобби а просто проеб времени это неправильно

не знаю что там на macOS, но десктоп на линухе ощущается как пирамида из костылей склеенных между собой говном: биндишь кнопку у композитора, чтобы он вызвал Bash чтобы скормить ему текстовый файл с командой, которая форкнет процесс, пишущий через dbus в композитор

@vladimirxyimir @riverun_1410 Westerners' own city names make you question whether they still use phonetic script or moved to a hieroglyphics already: Chiswick, Lincoln, Leicester, and so on
English
@riverun_1410 How many Westerners know how to pronounce "y", like in "my", or likr in "pity"? None of those sound like Ukrainian pronounciation.
English
let me introduce you to the idea of cyrillic alphabet and transliteration
к - k
и - y
ї - yi
в - v
Київ (ukrainian) - Kyiv (latin transliteration)
THE E IN KIEV COMES FROM R*SSIAN WORD and the only reason this version was more popularised is russian imperialism!!
Friendly Sperg@NobodySperg
@mariesoutofcon Kiev is the name for the city in English. Kyiv is the name in Ukrainian. We don't call Germany Deutschland because that's not it's English name. Kiev or similar transliterations is the name in 14 languages in Europe alone, not just English.
@vegansharts @bibsleyboo @riverun_1410 I'm perfectly fine with Kyiv being the name of the city in English. Though Warsaw is kinda the same thing?? It's not just an accomodation of a Polish word but rather a borrowing from german 'Warschau'
English
@NobodySperg @mariesoutofcon But words do not stay set in stone once they enter the language tho!
You probably wouldn't call Iran Persia anymore. And I'm pretty sure you would now say Belarus in English even tho it was spelled Byelorussia in English until 1991

@colingorrie if the idea is to keep words of the same stem alike, why then we just give up on buy/bought, think/thought, etc? why does -gh- only appear in the past participle form and not in the present tense form?
also, which cognate justifies 'weird' but 'vein'? 'teach' but 'break'?
English
Noam Chomsky once called English spelling "a near optimal system."
You might think he was being ironic. Far from it.
The silent 'b' in "bomb" reappears in "bombard." The silent 'n' in "hymn" is pronounced once again in "hymnal." The silent 'g' in "sign" comes back in "signal."
English spelling keeps these words looking like the family they are, even when pronunciation pulls them apart.
The past tense ending "-ed" is pronounced three different ways (-t in "jumped," -d in "played," and -ed in "painted"), but spelled the same every time. One spelling, one meaning: something happened in the past.
English spelling is full of inconsistencies and silent letter because it’s not simply encoding how words sound.
If English spelling were aiming to represent sound alone, it would indeed be a total failure.
But that's not the kind of system English has. It encodes words' meaning and history as well.

@CyberRacheal the funniest part to me will always be that mac is POSIX compliant and Linux is not; also, I think Windows nowadays is pretty much DOS-incompatible, it doesn't use the same syscalls, the kernel is NT and not DOS, even EXE is only compatible to say 'I can't be run on DOS'

@upstatefederlst that would mean in somewhere work hours lies between two days, which makes days of the week inconvenient to use, because you go to work on Sunday and finish on Monday. Moreover, days are not exactly 24 hours, so you have to do seasonal adjustments to not fall out of sync

My most extreme opinion is that the entire planet should just use military UTC and if that means that "daytime" is 2300 - 1700 that's just what time it is.
Nothing changes except what the clock says. It would be weird for like a year and then it would be fine.
✪ Evil Te𝕏an ✪@vileTexan
Time changes are dumb. Let's fix them. Did you know our current timezones were drawn by the railroads 140 years ago? Let's modernize them with what I'm calling the "Sunrise Rule"... using actual solar data. Use 5 timezones and target the latest sunrise of the year at around 8:20 AM, and we get this map. It ain't perfect, but it works. Currently the US swings between UTC-4 and UTC-8 throughout the year, that's 5 zones we rotate through, crammed into 4 at any given moment. Why not just use all 5 and leave it be? Every time Congress tries to fix DST, they keep the same 4 zones and it fails because northern cities end up with 9 AM sunrises. No dark mornings AND more evening light. Daylight Savings crowd wins. Standard time crowd wins. No more clock changes. Everybody wins.
