It kind of is two cats in one for real, the two sides have different dna!

This news isn’t as good as it first appears unfortunately:

State attorney Aner Helman told the court that 700 inmates had been moved to Ofer military facility in the occupied West Bank, with another 500 set to be transferred in the weeks to come. Around 200 detainees will remain in Sde Teiman, said Helman

So, they’re not even shutting down their Abu Ghraib in Sde Teiman, but they’re moving the bulk of it to a detention camp called Ofer. Except:

Last week, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said the military launched a probe into the allegations of mistreatment at Sde Teiman, as well as at Anatot and Ofer

In other words Ofer’s already a shit show of human rights abuses as well. They’re just shuffling people around their various camps.

Dean, a Londoner who moved to the kibbutz eight years ago

So, he’s a British guy who chose to move from England to an Israeli collective that is literally located on top of a displaced Palestinian village, right up against an actively disputed border and now he’s complaining about it?

This article reads like it was probably put together to generate support for more IDF attacks on Lebanon.

It’s basically a bog with freshwater coming in through the bottom.

There are some in Massachusets, Colorado, Estonia, and this region of the UK called the Fens.

I find this definition a lot more compelling than the one in the meme.

In other words it’s more to do with geology and how the wetland has formed from groundwater vs water flow, than it is to do with characteristics like ph and trees - those things sort of proceed from the basic structure.

Good to know, will keep a watch for it.

I really want to use it but always end up closing it in frustration and firing up photoshop.

I’ll wait for him forever, like Madama Butterfly.

But yeah this outage might be a long one unless it’s a server issue and someone over there notices.

I was interpreting that as the cat can somehow see the caption and is offended.

Genetic mutation. If you want to see something even cooler, image search feline chimera.

This. Medically speaking it probably still counts though.

Normalize and incentivize publishing negative results!

+ Normalize and incentivize attempting to replicate existing findings!

With these two recommendations we’d speed up discovery exponentially.

Having spent ages trying to adopt it and failing like 20+ years ago it’s just crazy to me that every time I give it another chance, it still doesn’t have non destructive editing and is still a non-intuitive UI from hell. It feels like they want it to be like this.

Knew this was going to be Sde Teiman. Some horror stories coming out of there.

What a sociopath.

Someone that acts confident when they shouldn’t, is colloquially known as a “conman”.

No, that’s incorrect.

A “con man” aka Confidence Trickster is a grifter who gains your confidence in order to scam you.

Having false confidence in itself does not mean someone is necessarily a swindler. It could just be that they are delusional or misinformed.

I think they like it for some reason.

Thanks!

Probably both. The circular logic and redundant headings scream AI but presumably a human compiled it together and may have written what they thought were bridging sentences.

I hate how all the top google results these days are the self contradicting ramblings of LLMs.

Okay there are more than 2 sides.

Personally I am on the side of civilians whether they are Israeli or Palestinian or Druze or Bedouin. I am also on the side of the doctors, nurses, and humanitarian aid workers. These are who I consider the Good Guys. “Look for the helpers.” - Mr Rodgers.

But to cover your question, there’s two separate issues here:

• the claims of the belligerents

• feelings about what is happening now in the Israel Gaza war

The past claims of the belligerents

I’m not going to go into this, but but it goes back to history and it’s where the side-taking on the sides of the belligerents mostly comes from, because different people have different interpretations. Legally speaking Palestine is occupied by Israel (West Bank) and blockaded by Israel (Gaza). No one can get in or out, it’s effectively controlled by Israel.

What is happening now

What is happening now is a “war” between the IDF and Hamas. People like me, who are rooting for civilians are upset about:

• proportionality (so far about 33,000 Palestinian deaths vs 1,400 Israeli deaths)

• mortality (currently over 1.5% of the population of Gaza have been killed)

• civilian mortality - high numbers of children being killed (according to aid agencies, one is killed or injured every 10 minutes)

• high numbers of humanitarian workers and medical staff being killed

• inappropriate weapon choices (hundreds of 2,000lb bombs are being dropped, for reference the US used just one in its war against Isis.

• widespread infrastructure destruction, particularly of hospitals and other important buildings

• mounting evidence of starvation in the civilian population due to blockade of aid

Personally I am against anyone treating a civilian population like this for any reason, and I believe it amounts to war crimes. I was against the killing of civilians in Myanmar, Rwanda, East Timor, and I am against it now.

Side note: The median age in Gaza is 18, meaning literally half the people in it are still children.

Edit: I haven’t given any sources cos lazy. I am happy to give them to OP or anyone in good faith (there are probably a bunch on the post history of my main which is livus@kbin.social). However, I do not speak sealionese.
