This feels like the Briggs Initiative all over again. While I think legislation and official actions like this will join the Briggs Initiative in the hell they came from, it can't come soon enough. Gen Z, we're counting on you to turn the scales!

Fun fact: there is a dog cancer STI.

Noooooo. Animal abuse.

For reading, digital. I can have access to a functionally unlimited number of books. They also tend to be less expensive. That makes a difference for media like manga where it racks up pretty quickly. And I can make adjustments to the text and lighting that help with readability.

I still like having some books around as decoration. They bring a room together nicely.

A fun story about the origin of some of PHP's first function names. The hash function in the table for function names in the interpreter was strlen(), so names were chosen to have a wide distribution of lengths.

Yeah, that's what really gets my goat. Hamas is not a group that any of those people would like living under. Yet they have bought into this "Western" versus "non-Western" narrative so deeply that they will excuse even straight up war crimes by any group as long as that group runs counter to Western interests and values.

I'm seeing it on lemmy.ml. The mods on /c/worldnews there are removing any comment that isn't pro-Hamas. Not even pro-Palestinian, you have to follow Hamas' narrative or your comment gets deleted. Look at the mod logs if you doubt me. Even just doubting Hamas' honesty is grounds for a comment to be removed.

Don't be an ass.

Yeah, it sounds like his legal team is trying to build grounds to appeal and whoever is governing his medication is playing into their hands. Seriously, how much effort does it take to properly treat someone when they already have a prescription written?

Or knock it over, if you're a pigeon. Iran definitely loves being the pigeon.

Come to think of it, it doesn't really make sense for Iran to want this sort of escalation to happen. The ideal situation from its standpoint is for Palestine to be a continuous thorn in Israel's side, but not too much. That's cheap to do and disruptive to Israel. If Israel connects the killing of hundreds of civilians to Iran, that could be justification for all out war. That would be damaging for both sides, but ultimately I think Iran would come out the worse.

For a vaguely comparable situation, look to Ukraine. NATO is willing to arm and train Ukraine, but committing NATO soldiers involves incredibly high amounts of risk. That's why NATO has held back, even though its conventional armed forces would have no trouble taking on Russia.
