The problem is that peace has been negotiated before, and what happened? This…

Israel has had enough.

Lived in southern Africa for 6 months. Primarily Mozambique but I was in SA a little as well as Malawi. They’re very racist, the Africans. My brother who was there as well was driving somewhere one day with a Mozambican, a good dude, and it came up that he wanted all the white people out of Mozambique. My brother is a red-headed white American. He questioned this Mozambican asking what about himself? “Oh, not you, we like you.” Its just how they think about things, probably going back to all the colonization that happened and all the ills or perceived ills that came from that. And so it’s easy to just keep going back to that idea as a society.

And for the record, they didn’t just want all the white people out. They wanted the Chinese out as well. And there’s tensions between the various tribes. Combine all that with low levels of education and extensive poverty and it’s easy for charismatic leaders to come along and pump up these ideas and get movements going as people see hope in the promises even when the results are obviously going to be bad.

Its never ceasing to amaze me that Ukraine, with essentially leftover western equipment, is handling a full blown invasion by Russia. Its pretty incredible to think what would happen to Russia if the west actually went all in and took down Russia with its full might.

I know they aren’t as dependent as they’ve been in the past on Soviet/Russian armor but it does provide some hints to China’s position as well. A western army at full strength with the full support of the western nations is, and will continue to be for a long time, an unmatched military force on the planet.

Tragic, probably would have been far far far fewer deaths if the dams weren’t there. Wouldn’t have been the sudden torrent out of nowhere.

Hopefully a good start from Miller today. Keep the series even.

You’d have to be able to run Android apps.

Pretty sweet

Red Reader is pretty good. I moved to it from Bacon Reader years ago.

.5 game back of Houston and the Rangers are losing. Good day. Think the Mariners can absolutely take the division at this point.

I guess the reality of what the Democratic party has been for the last, oh, 70-80 years at least is irrelevant if we’re trying to disparage the Republicans? Way to hive mind yourselves Lemmy…

As if that description doesn’t apply to democrats…

Red Alert has a strong female character and is definitely age appropriate… :)

I was using Digg and Reddit both at the height of Digg. I had already mostly moved over to Reddit at the time of the migration but still was on Digg some. But I was among those that abandoned Digg then.

Basically, suspicion that the data was interfered with between the collection from the sensors and its posting, most likely by Russia or Ukraine. Interesting article, I remember all the talk about the radiation around Chernobyl when this first happened. Makes sense that Ukraine would be trying to spread this information like this. There will be a lot of stories that come out in the coming decades about what all was really happening in this conflict.

You think I didn’t follow that this conversation is about bathrooms?

I followed the context of the conversation accurately. Have you?

I think not…

Its kinda scary how little most people care about stuff that is actually important. This really shows how stuff like the rise of the Nazi party can happen. Most people don’t care about stuff thats bad, even that directly impacts them, until its too late to do anything about it. They just want their life to work the way they want/are used to.

I don’t think they’re in opposition to the rights of trans people to use the bathroom. Way to shift the argument. congrats.

Valve body ≠ Transmission…

Man, way to finish the first half with series wins against 3 top notch teams. If they can ever truly get untracked they’ll win a trip of games in a hurry.
