None of what I’m saying disputes that. I hope Israel will be held accountable for all the crimes they’ve commited. I don’t agree with how, but I agree with why they’re doing it. What do you imagine they’re even supposed to do? On top of the IDF’s disregard, they’re commonly used as human shields aswell.

I was replying to Count042@lemmy.ml

The murder of civilians by intentionally withholding food and water, and blockading all entrances to the area is explicitly a war crime.

I’m not disputing what they’re saying. I just get the feeling, that people tend to be quite one-sided when it comes to this issue. I’m not actually even quite sure why I replied to this user in particular, as the message itself I mostly agree with.

Sure people can criticize Hamas, but they’ve done considerably less damage in this conflict.

But is that because they’re being much more considerate and careful around civilians than the IDF or is it simply just lack of resources? Imagine if the roles were reversed.

I won’t argue with you, in the same way that I won’t engage in an argument about racism with a piece of shit that uses the N-word, you child-murder justifying fuck.

Yet here you are still arguing.

Made in Gaza: Hamas Rockets the Product of Foreign Aid and Smuggled Material

UN gives them fertilizer to grow food and feed the people. Hamas uses it to make rocket fuel.

I actually lied for the first time in about 3 years just few days ago.

I had an appointment and at the front desk the clerk asked me wether I came there by car (do I need a parking permit) to which I said no even though I did but I left it further away so that I don’t need said permit. Funnily enough the person I came to meet then asked me the same thing to which I sad “Yeah, but I left it further away” and I’m quite sure the clerk heard me so… …yeah. That’s why I don’t lie.

The previous lie before that when a beggar came asking wether I had any cash to which I said no even though I did. Again a completely pointless lie.

‘Look for what’s looking’ is something he often says in his daily meditation sessions on the Waking Up app, which famously frustrates people. ‘There’s just consciousness and its content’ is also a direct quote from him.

Neither of these he probably came up with by himself, but that’s his way (and in my view, the best way) of saying it.

You’re not piloting a bone mech, you are it.

It feels like you’re behind your face looking out into the world but once you pay close attention and look for what’s looking you’ll discover there’s nothing there. There’s no “you” in a sense that there’s someone behind the wheel. There’s just consciousness. It feels like something to be. A subjective experience.

Probably somewhere around the age of 14 when most of my friends started doing “adult stuff” and I still prefered the things I had been doing up untill that point and now at over 30 I still prefer that over adulting.

I don’t know if I’m actually that different from other people but I sure do feel like it. I’m quite independent. I like solitude and I tend to form my own opinions on stuff instead of adopting what people around me think.

I’m probably on the autistic spectrum somewhere and I don’t think of myself as very nice person. I mean I don’t treat people badly ever but I’m not much of a people pleaser either and can be quite blunt from time to time. Surprisingly many people still seem to like me so I don’t know what’s wrong with them.

Defederating doesn’t prevent them from seeing what you post. It only prevents you from seeing them

I love doing what I’m doing right now: waking up early and just taking 3 hours or so to enjoy a couple of cups of coffee while browsing the internet with no hurry to be anywhere.

I almost never plan anything ahead. I think it’s due to my undiagnosed ADD, but I’m really the happiest when I have an open schedule and can do whatever I want whenever the motivation strikes. One day, I might just sit and browse Lemmy or watch YouTube the whole morning, and another day I’m in my shed organizing screws for 8 hours straight without eating, drinking, or going to the toilet.

Then, of course, there are the usual activities: long walks, mountain biking, cooking by a campfire, and the occasional trip with my family’s boat, etc. I’m basically the most boring person you’ll meet. I no longer even feel FOMO when I hear about other people’s trips abroad during their vacations. Good for you, but I have zero interest in that.

I don’t get why this is an issue. Assuming they purchased a legal copy that it was trained on then what’s the problem? Like really. What does it matter that it knows a certain book from cover to cover or is able to imitate art styles etc. That’s exactly what people do too. We’re just not quite as good at it.

These are all porn*

I mean… You were literally advocating for violence.

My current device and the two before that all have had removable batteries. I’ve always thought built in batteries are stupid and it’s nice to finally notice that other people agree. Hopefully they next mandate that it has to be able to be taken apart with a screwdriver and spare parts must be able to be purchased straight from the manufacturer.
