Wouldn’t be surprised if there is some program that sources places to comment for these bots. Russia would be a logical keyword in that case.

Yes, and now both countries started a war they expected to easily win and now looks like they made the same mistake. There are an endless amount of differences between these two wars but it not going as easy as hoped is one very clear similarity.

Thanks for sharing, here is a bit of info for people who don’t want to leave lemmy/piefed.
“It’s important to remember this chant is in English and it doesn’t rhyme in Arabic, it is used in demonstrations in Western countries,” he [Nimer Sultany, a lecturer in law at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London] said. “The controversy has been fabricated to prevent solidarity in the West with the Palestinians.”
Pro-Israel observers, however, argue the slogan has a chilling effect. “To Jewish Israelis what this phrase says is that between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean, there will be one entity, it will be called Palestine – there will be no Jewish state – and the status of Jews in whatever entity arises will be very unclear,” Yehudah Mirsky, a Jerusalem-based rabbi and professor of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies at Brandeis University.

The second part is about freedom, not everyone who uses it (like i guess the girl in handcuffs) means to say this freedom equals getting rid of the other group entirely. Personally i wouldn’t use it because i feel it got tainted and you can’t predict how someone will interpret it. But it doesn’t have to imply genocide and can be used as a synonym to saying Free Palestine. Remember Israel banned the Palestine flag and symbols etc, there was a real need for these kinds of synonyms. That being said, it is definitely also being used to call for genocide.

- Comment on The Myth That Wind Farms Are a Guillotine for Birds Is Being Debunked by Hard Data 3 weeks ago:
However I feel like everyone who meets you is pro killing of the conversation.
How do?
- Comment on The Myth That Wind Farms Are a Guillotine for Birds Is Being Debunked by Hard Data 3 weeks ago:
It’s obvious parties who are against renewables will use this problem to their advantage acting like the dead birds are the thing care about. Obviously switching from wind energy to fossil energy is not desirable, and luckily fossil fuels aren’t the only alternative. Birds prefer to travel during the day, when there is also solar power for example. This is not a black and white discussion where you are either in favour of killing birds or in favour of saving the planet. Halting climate change and limiting the amount of animals dying for bad reasons are not mutually exclusive goals.
- Comment on The Myth That Wind Farms Are a Guillotine for Birds Is Being Debunked by Hard Data 3 weeks ago:
The sky is never pure white, and i’m not saying all birds will fly into them if the sky and the windmill are a perfect match. But at the same time, if it were a bright colour less birds would fly into it. Collisions will still happen. It also has to do with the blades rotating, but also that is easier to calculate when the blades are very visible. Still the best thing is to do turn them off sometimes. Best case scenario would be that you can switch over to a source that is also renewable.

Before anyone starts shouting windturbines don’t kill birds because they saw this headline without reading the article, he is the key takeaway:
It turns out that while wind turbines do kill birds, they are statistically insignificant compared to the bigger killers we have in our cities and in our bedrooms.
Aside from the number being insignificant, there are efforts being made to minimize the amount of animals dying. The main solution is what is called bird curtailment - shutting the windmill of during migration activity.

It hasn’t got anything to do with brain but with vision, we make these things light grey so they blend with the white sky. Just like birds have trouble seeing glass, another thing we made to be as invisible as possible.

- Comment on The EU targets Guinea for visa punishment: a sign of what is to come 4 weeks ago:
I’d like to share an old proverb that often attributed to Erasmus, but likely much older than that:
"The whole world is my homeland"
That is true for me, because with my passport i can access perhaps 99% of the globe. If you are not from a first world country, you cannot. Even if you work hard and provide for your family and add value to your community, western governments will tell you to fuck off and go to the shithole you came from. We should punish bad behaviour like stealing, scamming, raping, destroying etc. Wanting to survive and wanting your children to grow up somewhere safe is normal, going somewhere you’re not welcome to achieve that should not be punishable.
Anyone here saying we should eat the rich, but also saying we should not allow people to migrate should take a look in the mirror.

I don’t think so. My point is that ‘the first American woman to win a medal in curling’ just doesn’t get the clicks. But unless she has a rich dad or husband paying the bills, the fact she has a job is quite obvious. I haven’t read the article, but aside from the title, there probably isn’t much in there about her actual work. Maybe i’m too cynical. Great for all the lab techs they get a shout out, i guess.

Wow the first lab tech to win a medal! What’s next? Someone else with a job because they can’t live off being one of the best in their sport? Good for her though, don’t mean any disrespect, being the best in something is quite the achievement.
