I lost some, I won some.
I’m sure this has been solved already but I’m just wondering how you ensure people are voting based on the helpfulness and/or merit of the response. That’s the ideal on Lemmy but it’s obviously not always the case here. Presumably, you’d have to be logged in on the other platform to vote but you can just see the discussion from Lemmy, I guess?
Useful constraints would focus discussion to keep questions/replies brief, relevant, and hopefully helpful, wouldn’t they? I just wonder how up and downvoting would work since that would go very differently from Lemmy.
It doesn’t. Graeber was an anthropologist and Wengrow is an archaeologist. It’s a review of existing evidence from past civilizations (the diversity of which most people are hugely ignorant about), making the case the most common representations of “civilization” and “progress” are severely limited, probably to a detrimental extent since we often can only base our conceptions of what is possible on what we know.
That’s highly subjective, but the fascinating book The Dawn of Everything argues otherwise. There are even parts about the anthropological evidence some peoples just up and changed systems every so often (yes, non-violently). Our problem as people in the modern era is many can’t imagine anything else, not that no one ever did.
Actually the history of why they think that is probably steeped in the horrors of how what little info they do have was obtained. Involuntary operations without anaesthetic on any women of colour and white mental health facility patients, graverobbing, you name it and it was probably done. Also, the decades of not including women as subjects in medical research even when it specifically applied to the female reproductive system didn’t help.
The “desk” appears to be random limbs of other humans. Also, it looks like her game then is somehow taking place in a kitchen that’s on its side?
They probably mean grammar, since most Google operators do work. If there’s a specific difference in search syntax (other than bangs) though, I’d love to know what I’ve been missing.
If you connect to the wrong tower, can’t they get IMEI info? That won’t include OS, but it will give phone model/mfr and other details. I remember reading about regional police forces or intelligence agencies gathering data in North America at least (and they were explicitly gathering personal & usage data too, to see if they could find criminals supposedly).
I’ve long made comparisons and purchase decisions by the unit price. This kind of thing can blindside me when ordering online though, if it’s a product I get regularly and I don’t happen to catch the change. Hopefully they won’t try to keep the picture the same, but I know in the past they’ve lagged on updating them for packaging changes that didn’t affect the product so they can probably get away with that easily in this case as well. :/
Can’t they do the usual and place blame for all the pain on the party in power?
If they were just verbally protesting their presence and not committing assaulting I’d understand as there are legit reasons for Jewish people not to like Christian Zionism… but the Israeli state finds them politically convenient I guess, so of course they let it fly. 🙄
To be fair, the pope condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza as well. Fundamentalist evangelical Christian Zionists have more financial and media power than others though, I imagine, and many others are just plain silent.
Understandable. The reason I still think it is though is that for persons above a certain level of wealth, laws about social issues have no meaning. They’re not good, not bad, just irrelevant to them.
That’s why the same wealthy donors fund politicians of both sides; parties that promises human rights protections, and parties that promise to dismantle such rights. The people politicians are answering to don’t have a reason to care either way. They can be and do whatever they want and unlike the rest of us, their money guarantees their safety.
Speaking for myself at least, I find the political world makes a lot more sense when you assume that the typical politician doesn’t believe in anything but money. All of us in every marginalized group are just chess pieces to them. Or put another way, we’re buttons they can press to get the desired type of outrage reaction that distracts the public from noticing how they’re being screwed on particular given day.
Horrific and unconscionable that some state legislators are willing to traumatize kids against the advice of medical professionals… for some people’s votes. I really hope this gets shut down.
All I did was point out facts and perspectives you seem to have missed. I thought we were having a constructive conversation in good faith, and was giving you the benefit of the doubt. I’m sorry to see that wasn’t the case.
The reason it seems “muddled” to you is likely because bigotry itself is based in ignorance.
Many people just accept and absorb what they’ve heard or seen in cartoons and popular media while growing up, lumping different groups of people together based on oversimplifications and misrepresentations of who they are. The assumptions on which people base their Islamophobia are quite racist, conflating Arab identity (which people think they know by a person’s appearance based on racist stereotypes) with Islam. The point is to be able to identify the bigotry for what it is.
If you try to define a form bigotry by the actual reality it’s misrepresenting, you’ll miss the bigotry itself.
Islamophobia is a type of racism. Brown people who aren’t even muslim (like Sikhs) often get caught up in it, precisely because the ignorance that fuels it is based in racism.
So we argue that “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness”
What is clear now is that the very weapons that Israeli forces have used to enforce a blockade of Gaza over the past 17 years are now being used against them. Israeli and American military explosives have enabled Hamas to shower Israel with rockets and, for the first time, penetrate Israeli towns from Gaza.
“Unexploded ordnance is a main source of explosives for Hamas,” said Michael Cardash, the former deputy head of the Israeli National Police Bomb Disposal Division and an Israeli police consultant. “They are cutting open bombs from Israel, artillery bombs from Israel, and a lot of them are being used, of course, and repurposed for their explosives and rockets.”

From an older piece with more context:
The Iranian narrative is that they kick-started all the missile production in Gaza and gave them the technical and knowledge base, but now the Palestinians are self-sufficient, said Fabian Hinz, an independent security analyst focusing on missiles in the Mideast.

(There’s also a NY Times article with a similar headline to the Yahoo! one, but it’s paywalled.)
From what I’ve heard in reporting, they build rockets from parts of unexploded Israeli bombs. Over the last 4 months, I have no doubt they’ve found a few duds and accumulated the material with which to hack these things together.
This post specifically says you can’t (without the bypass many won’t understand how to do).
