Was there ever a single serious arrest and conviction of anybody on Israel side in past 2 decades, be it civilians or IDF? Serious question, it doesn't seems so in similar attacks (and they are not that rare and will probably escalate)

A few, for example Meir Ettinger, an hilltop youth leader has served some time in jail.

The idea for Israel was to have its national criminal jurisdictions prosecute just enough to not be seen as failing by the ICC and meet its 'complementarity' criterion [0]. Even spying on ICC staff to see who it was investigating.

At least that's how it used to be, now they just threaten the ICC.

ivann commented on Belgium will ban sales of disposable e-cigarettes npr.org/2024/12/29/g-s1-4... · Posted by u/geox

I buy disposable vapes because I convince myself it’s my last one. Once it runs out I’ll quit.

Buying a rig is accepting defeat.

Except this vape ran out faster than I expected. I have a big week at work coming up and I can’t afford the dip in energy level and productivity that comes with withdrawal. I’ll buy one more just this once and then I’ll quit for sure.

Amazing the hoops my mind jumps through for an addictive molecule.

It might be better to accept what is right now and buy a rig but then play with the nicotine level to reduce it step by step. Once you reach 0 you won.

well,

sex: male / female. you're born with. other : ? gender : male / female. what you feel being. other : a teapot ? you're insane.

the type or person of what's people are attracted with : i don't give a f it does not matter.

ivann · 9 months ago

Well, as said in the sibling comment, even for clinical sex it's not that simple. Intersex is a fact of life.

As for gender it's a social construct so using a binary qualification makes no sense. One could say it's a spectrum but it doesn't even have to be this restrictive. Why force people to take the whole package of constructs and ethos from either one? What's wrong with having a beard and makeup? Is this insanity to you?

Of course this is not about identifying as object. Please don't use mediocre rhetoric like that.

> If you don't want Bluesky to hide anything for you, go to the moderation settings on your account and turn everything off.

That is really the crux of what is going on here. This is the N-th example of someone being auto-banned from bluesky due to saying "there are only two sexes"; "excess death rates are up by 10%" or other non-permitted thoughts/speech.

... and the user only (?) has to change a moderation setting (?) and then all would (have been) well ?!

ivann · 9 months ago

But this wasn't about saying "there are only two sexes".

The real outrage is : despite its comment is _a true biological fact and not illegal_ it is blocked because insane folk are frustrated to see it.

It's censorship.

ivann · 9 months ago

How can a comment about gender be a true biological fact? Aren't you mixing up sex and gender?

a) Nice to see this from Vox. More left-leaning readers need to hear this message.

b) Look at a country like Norway. One of the wealthiest countries in the world (due to oil!) and they invest heavily in renewable energy and have the highest percentage of electric new car sales in the world.

a) You only get this message if you stop at the title. The rest of the article is not a criticism of degrowth but a criticism of it's academic literature.

b) At 12.6 tCO2eq/cap/year [0] I would not call this a success.

And they will mark all the advertising cookies as "Legitimate interest", as they've already started to do that with the confirmation prompts.

The "legitimate interest" of selling you shit you don't want and selling your interests to third parties.

ivann · a year ago

Would this get past the GDPR? I get the defeatism, there are powerful actors, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't try to improve the situation.

The problem isn't lack of a solution, we've had DNT for years. It's that the people who want to track you generally don't want to make it easy for you to opt out.

ivann · a year ago

Yes, this will need legislative backing. We had the GDPR since the DNT.

I also just discovered the GPC which seems more interesting: https://globalprivacycontrol.org
