It is? I hadn’t the foggiest!
To be fair, some of them were pretty damn terrible!
Even if it doesnt blocked ads and even youtubers own ads
You mean even if it didn’t? Because it definitely DOES and you’re absolutely right about the rest
it’s also obvious that the benefits from Ai are just shallow stuff like helping the consumer do things with their voice instead of clicking buttons.
Not obvious to the billionaires and hedge funds who own most of the stock market.
Never forget that wealth and power doesn’t automatically equal intelligence and competence…
They’ve had fab problems for years
Just checking: do you mean fabrication problems or FABULOUS problems? 😛
obligate ram ventilators
Sounds like someone who keeps goats cool as their court mandated community service 😄
Perchance depiction:
Your own link states that “in part” definitions may lead to highly subjective conclusions.
Yeah, that part means that you don’t have to kill every single Palestinian in order for your deliberate eradicative campaign to be a genocide. It doesn’t mean “killing any part of a people is genocide” 🤦
By this measure, the death penalty in the US would be considered genocide “in part” (especially if the judge, jurors, or clerks are mostly white and the executed person is of color, so as to establish that a “group” is targeting another group). A person acting in self-defense with a resulting death to the aggressor may also fall into the genocide criteria
Nope. Of COURSE not. I’m almost completely convinced that you’re arguing in bad faith. That or you’re extremely literal-minded AND not too smart… These are not difficult concepts for most people to understand and differentiate once it’s pointed out to them.
If Israel is only intent on destroying the Hamas terrorist organization
Yeah, that’s a negative. They’re trying to kill or displace away from the area every single Gazan and they’re already at over 90% displacement.
it is technically a political party, but they broadened their horizons on October 7th, I guess…
No, it’s a terrorist organization masquerading as a government. Critical infrastructure such as schools and hospitals are de facto run by UNRWA, not Hamas.
and not the whole Gazan/Palestinian population
That IS their actual target. Your Hasbara hypothetical isn’t helpful.
could it really still be labeled as genocide?
In that purely hypothetical scenario, whether it’s still a genocide would depend on a number of factors, including whether or not they take great care to avoid civilian casualties and only target known Hamas targets. They don’t, never have, and never will.
As I said, some people will even say a single death may be genocide “in part,”
Nobody not arguing in bad faith, profoundly confused/ignorant, or colossally dense. Since I gave you the definition, it’s either bad faith or stupidity in your case.
so this widening of the definition just weakens the term, unfortunately.
No, it’s not a widening. It’s a specifying that you don’t have to successfully eliminate everyone for it to be a genocide. A distinction that most adults not arguing in bad faith have no trouble comprehending.
Technically, Nicko McBrain uses ONE drum set the SIZE of five or more separate sets! Anything else would just be silly! 😁
It’s arguable whether there’s a genocide taking place
I love it when I know from the first sentence that there’s some awful apologia coming up… 🤦
If Israel really wanted to eliminate everyone
That’s a CHILD’S definition of genocide.
The ACTUAL definition from the convention itself is thus, first paragraph bolding mine:
any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such:
- (a) Killing members of the group;
- (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
- © Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
- (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
- (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
— Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article 2[\[8\]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_Convention#cite_note-Convention-text-8)
UsingRedefining the word ‘genocide’ soeasilydisingenuously and/or out of ignorance really takes away from theweightscope of thetermatrocities, unnecessarily defending the indefensible
Fixed It for you.
It became inevitable the moment Amazon bought Audible…
Don’t worry, the UN will protect you!
I was in a band called Broken Ass Fragment. Mostly punk covers, some harpsichord instrumental tracks.
Nah, that’s “the microscope adds 700 pounds” 😛
Is that when you try to eliminate everyone named Gwen via mass murder, nominal cleansing, and lexical apartheid?
Or playing the Audiobook of the Dead.
Yeah, because if they were accepting ads from the Russian government, Hamas, Hezbollah, or ISIS, nobody would bat an eye, right? 🙄
What has happened since shows the
delicateservile relationship Google has kept with its advertising client, the fascist apartheid state Israel
Fixed it for them.
Ah yes, the aptly named Bloody Awful 😄
Structure/meme format: like with the “dominoes”, one seemingly small thing can lead to much bigger things happening
Context: the 1970 book “The Wolf: Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species” popularized the hypothesis of the alpha, beta, and omega wolf, which has birthed all sorts of toxic and stupid bullshit that has harmed many humans, pets (especially dogs), and other animals.
The author, David Mech, has since tried to get the publisher to stop selling his erroneous book and basically dedicated most of his career to educating people on how wrong his most influential work was.
