“They’re all without shirts and they have a stick with a white cloth on it. The soldier feels threatened and opens fire. He declares that they’re terrorists. They (the Israeli forces) open fire. Two (hostages) are killed immediately,” the official told reporters in a phone briefing.
As if this wasn’t ridiculous enough, it gets better
“Immediately the battalion commander issues a ceasefire order, but again there’s another burst of fire towards the third figure and he also dies,” the official said. “This was against our rules of engagement,” he added.
So, to summarize: unarmed civilians waving a white flag were categorized as terrorists and two of them get executed immediately. The battalion commander then directly orders the soldiers to stop firing but those orders are being disobeyed and the last of the group is executed anyway.
That is not feeling “threatened”. That is bloodlust.
I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
The Force Awakens would have been a 10/10 movie if it ended with the lightsaber fight on that forest planet. But no, they had to slog through the bullshit Death Star 2 arc and ruin it.
I actually fell asleep watching The Dark Knight in a movie theatre. They fucked up the pacing.
Another instance of this is the second Spider Man (the one with Doc Ock). It was so sluggish that I forgot there was a villain halfway through the movie. Then it cut to Ock doing something and I was like “Oh yeah, that guy still exists”.
Most plants would die because they rely on CO2 for photosynthesis.
Many sea animals would die. Oceans absorb CO2 which forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) in water. Oceans are slightly alkaline due to dissolved salts (bicarbonate and carbonate) and the carbonic acid from the absorption helps to create a stable pH. Many sea animals are highly adapted to a specific pH and would die if the ocean got either too acidic or too alkaline, so they are pretty doomed in either case.
Many humans would die because agriculture would collapse. Also breathing pure oxygen over a long period of time would be very bad because of oxygen toxicity. Yeah, pure oxygen is toxic for humans lol
Land animals, I’m not so sure, but I assume most of them would die too.
No, that’s the magnetron. Normal microwave magnetrons have 2 power settings, on and off, and reducing the microwave’s power just means switching the magnetron on and off at different intervals.
An inverter just allows to keep the magnetron running at a lower power. Whether that has a better effect than just on/off-switching the magnetron I do not know, but it’s probably more energy efficient over long usage periods.
Not just that they have peaks and valleys, some things are simply not heated by microwaves. The ice crystals in frozen food are only heated by-proxy because the tiny amounts of already melted off water will heat up and melt more ice, so there is no benefit in blasting an ice cube at full power for 40 minutes.
You re-read sentences much more often than you might suspect and it happens with all kinds of sentences, even grammatically correct ones. Garden-path sentences, for example “the old men the boat”, are specifically crafted to demonstrate this and they essentially are doing the same thing as using ‘r’ and ‘u’ as a substitute for words: they violate the Gricean maxim of manner and that one relies a lot on expectation.
However, one could make a case that in some situations, like a “how r u” via text, the replacement is ubiquitous and somewhat expected and doesn’t cause any impediment to understanding. It’s definitely a hinderance when a more verbose communication is expected. Might be a neat subject for a phonetic study, honestly.

There was a song from Pearl Jam called Jeremy that had this line:
<span style="color:#323232;">Daddy didn't give affection, no
</span><span style="color:#323232;">And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
</span><span style="color:#323232;">King Jeremy the wicked
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Oh, ruled his world
</span>
What they meant is that the mother neglected him because she didn’t want to be seen in public with him.
Honestly, I have received stuff in 2 days even without having Prime. They tell you it’s taking a week, but the package arrives much earlier. I don’t really order that much tho, so maybe I just got lucky.
To this day, I have never bought something because of an ad. I get the concept of letting people know your product exists, but I know Raid Shadow Legends exists already and I am not interested, so fuck off.
The other day, I finally switched to ProtonMail. I still just forward my gmail inbox for now because I’m too lazy to go through all my accounts and change the email all at once. In due time, I will have switched. Fuck Google.
I once had a PC with watercooling. It died because I was drinking with a friend and wanted to show it off. So I removed the sidepanel and my drunken self tipped the beer bottle which promptly spilled over the running mainboard. Welp, it was some form of water that killed my PC I guess.
You can be genuinely convinced that you are speaking the truth and still spew propaganda. It’s all about the manner in which you are presenting your political agenda.
Anecdotal elucidation of this:
Back in 2022, when the Russians invaded Ukraine, there was a neutral sub on reddit called UkraineWarVideoReport. It was a basically a CombatFootage sub to neutrally document the war without the goreporn focus of CombatFootage. Titles were something akin to “Russians take out target in X Region” or “Ukraine defends region Y using Weapon-System-gifted-by-country”. None of this is propaganda.
As the sub grew more and more popular, propaganda started and soon, the sub was just filled with “Ukraine heroes smash Russian Orcs again LOL” or “Russians demolish Ukronazi brigade for good”. Both are propaganda, using loaded words in order to push their view point. Once those propaganda posts got out of hands, I left the sub because no valuable information is to be gained there.
Not all regions are served with the same scripts. That’s why the ad-block pop-up was shown for some users but not for others or at a later time for others. This also affected the update cycle of those anti-adblock scripts.
The reason for that is quite simple. New stuff is rolled out to only some users at first as some sort of beta testing procedure. If many people complain about functionality issues and all of those have the new version of the script, Google knows there is something wrong with it.
He is saying that games that were released despite being buggy or unfinished or both will have a permanent stain in the user reception. Basically, updates cannot fix a bad first impression.
They’re not verifying at the moment, I’d assume. The ministry’s numbers were fairly accurate in the past and held up to UN investigations on many occasions, so they give them the benefit of the doubt.
