It kind of is actually. Throwing a milkshake isn’t likely to cause much harm, and would probably result in an assault charge. Throwing acid can cause serious disfigurement and possibly death, and a far more serious charge.

You can condemn her actions without the hyperbole. This happened before and it didn’t result in a wave of acid attacks and I’ve no reason to think this time will be different.

None of that relates to this murder as based on the description of settler concerns, which are more of an issue in the West Bank rather than Gaza, I’m guessing that this happened in the West Bank. (Where Hamas is not the government.)

Whether the murderers are IDF or settler militants is immaterial to the point of this being an unjustified killing of a Palestinian shepherd living in the West Bank, who is rather unlikely to be a Hamas fighter or involved in the 7th October attack.

How does the atrocities of Hamas relate to the murder of a Palestinian shepherd?

Actually Hammas is spread by contact. If you touched someone who lived next door to someone who’s family dog was given to them by someone who had a family member join Hamas, then you become Hamas too.

The only way to innoculate yourself against this pathogen is by loudly and vigorously condemning Hamas for at least two minutes a day.

It should however be noted that condemning Hamas, and having absolutely no affiliation with any of their members provides no protection against Israeli forces mistaking you for a Hamas fighter and subsequently shooting/bombing/starving you to death.

Damn trainsesual agenda, wanting better rail infrastructure.

Not anymore, there’s a blanket.

You get sentenced to a lifetime of Dell.

But it comes with your choice of meme.

Maybe it’s how long it’s been in development, maybe it’s how many times that they’ve changed direction, or maybe it’s just that Ubisoft just put so much garbage in their games, but I predict that this game is going to be a trainwreck.

I was intrigued when they first announced it, but now I’m just so fucking sick of Ubisoft and their bullshit that I’m now just curious to see just how much of a mess it turns out to be.

If the government has even the smallest modicum of dignity, he’ll resign or be sacked. It’s one thing to enjoy crass and offensive jokes, I certainly do, but there’s a time and a place for such humour. I mean he’s the Home Secretary for fucks sake! How in the world did he think that that kind of joke would go down well?

I’ve seen first hand the aftermath of someone’s drink being spiked… It’s not something I ever want to deal with again. Though I’ll bet it was far worse for the unfortunate victim of it.

I think they want the precident of being able to require id verification to access websites. It’s a great spying tool for the government, if they can legitimise it’s use. First they go for the porn sites to ‘protect children’. Then they’ve got a foot in the door with the infrastructure in place to expand it to other ‘objectionable’ sites, and perhaps even further.

Maybe I’m just being paranoid and it’s just puritanical BS pushed by out of touch politicians who are trying to appeal to the moral busybodies in society.

So do you think that shipping companies should charge fees to both sender and recipient? Because that’s the physical equivalent of this situation.

I pay my ISP to deliver data to me at an agreed rate. The data being streamed from the bandwidth heavy sources has been paid for… By me. It would be wrong for my ISP to then go and charge them for the bandwidth that I’m using, much in the same way it would be wrong for a company to both charge the sender and receiver of a package just because that package is heavier than normal.

And many of the CDN agreements that bandwidth heavy content providers sign with ISPs have favourable terms specifically because those ISPs recognise that having good access to that content is exactly what their customers are paying for… At least the ones not completely blinded by greed do.

The WHO are just relaying information from the Chinese government. So I wouldn’t trust it.

Being found liable in a civil trial is not a “conviction”. Calling trump a proven rapist is accurate, but not a convicted rapist. To be a convicted rapist he would have to have been found guilty in a criminal trial.

Yes the distinction between a proven rapist and a convicted rapist doesn’t change how much of a piece of shit Trump is, but it is still a clear legal distinction.

And so the piece of shit continues to be a piece of shit. Though there is an irony in Trump mocking the ineffectiveness of a wall.

It’s a terrible thing when the phant falls off.

I’d take the Mario game, the disc drive, and the air fryer. I’m ambivalent about the dvd, and the the Miku expo is on a different continent to me.

Well technically there’s only one adult Man there… And one adult Elf, and an adult Dwarf.

Me and a friend discussed this and it led to an ongoing joke of pole vaulting pikemen.

The only thing eyebrow raising about this is that they were bombers (assuming they actually were). Normally this sort of thing is done with recon aircraft.
