Facts.

I guess so, but similar to how a lot of taste is actually perceived via smell? I suppose linear and angular acceleration could be two separate senses which encompass the sense of balance.

Five senses; taste, touch, smell, sight, hearing, acceleration, temperature, body configuration, pain, balance, time, hunger…

“Palestinians don’t respect other ethnicities or religions” is an example of racism, because it is of the form:

[Ethnic group/race] [has or displays negative personality trait], without any concessions as to individual choice or action (though you tried to add this in your last comment) and without any evidence.

Therefore you are saying that people who are simply born Palestinian are somehow less likely than people born elsewhere to display compassion towards other ethnic groups or religions. Since compassion in general is a common human trait, and almost universally held as a positive one, you are dehumanising Palestinians as a whole in this statement, which is clearly also to say, discriminating against them.
It is the most naked type of racism, down there with ideas like, “the blacks are more violent”, " savage tribals" and the like.
I’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here and I don’t think I can explain this any more clearly: a statement of the form [Ethnic group/race] is [personality trait] is explicitly racist, and that’s the type of statement you have made here.

(It’s worth pointing out that the word “all” is correctly inferred unless you specify a subset. So where you’ve written “Palestinians”, because of the nature of the English language, that means “all Palestinians” by default.)

Twoflower is the first place my mind went, too.

Touché. I wave my private parts in your general direction, you son of a window dresser.

They didn’t say “Hamas” , they said “Palestinians”, i.e. the ethnic group.
Just for exposition, let’s flip it round and see how disgusting it is:

I get why you hate Hamas, but a lot of pro-Jewish people are just choosing to ignore who Jews really are.

Jews aren’t exactly democratic, don’t care much about human rights, and don’t respect other ethnicities or religions.

If [legitimate concerns about conflicts of interest] then [ genetic fallacy]

Can you not see how hideously racist your comment is?

Palestinians aren’t exactly democratic, don’t care much about human rights, and don’t respect other ethnicities or religions.

You’re just going to leave that there?

There are always biases though? I’m having trouble understanding why you find obviously biased media less useful. The more obvious the bias, the easier to boil it down to facts, no?

It’s pretty useful to own all the media though. Which the right wing do in fact own.

Both sides are not the same. Kamala would clearly have been less authoritarian and evil. Unfortunately the Democrats are currently so shit that voting them in, even repeatedly, won’t fix this mess. That’s because the current authoritarian form of the GOP would continue to sit at the sidelines, gathering support via populism for another term or terms, until it gets voted in, because the Democrats appease them at every turn and allow themselves to be dragged to the right on any and every issue the GOP chooses. This doesn’t work and the GOP end up winning. There were four years in between Trump 1 and Trump 2 and they did nothing to tell a story which counters the fascist othering of LGBT, brown and immigrant people (which will expand to “the left” , then anyone who disagrees with anything they say, and then finally members of their own club, as fascism always does). The GOP have changed the game, and the Dems are still playing by the old rules. Until someone like Bernie or AOC gets control, the actual quickest way out of the current tragedy is to let fascism eat itself, a process that may cost literally millions of lives. But sadly, voting in a Democrat gov is no longer a way to avoid this.

That number is a very conservative estimate.

In recent conflicts, such indirect deaths range from three to 15 times the number of direct deaths. Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37 396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

The Lancet vol. 404, Issue 10449 p237-238July 20, 2024

Applying that now would suggest around 300k deaths, close to one in seven Palestinians in Gaza killed by the IDF.

Just hold it vertically in the boiling water, it takes about ten seconds to get soft enough to bend it.

Tu veux dire “gums” là

Whoever downvoted you is wrong. You made a mistake, owned up, and learned from it. That is admirable. More power to your elbow, friend. (And always look up the people you’re quoting!)

You’re quoting a neonazi white supremacist to assert what? That Israel rules over us?
Come on, that’s not a good look is it.

The word is arrogant:-

‘having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one’s own importance or abilities.’

I choose not to. I can choose to be hopeful for the future without being unrealistic. I can see intrinsic value in human life and the human experience even knowing that every single one of us will die at some point, some peacefully, some during suffering. The moment of death doesn’t have to define one’s life. Even a baby who lives for six hours has spent infinitely more time living than dying. Would you be so nihilistic as to erase that life, just because it was short?

Your philosophy is valid; it’s not necessarily correct.
Starting from the assumption that it is denies you the opportunity to see things from a different perspective.

It’s worth asking your local library. My library card gives me read-only access to every ISO standard I’ve ever needed.

There’s also the Estonian standards institute which offers the same standards for much much cheaper.
