Thanks for the correction. Evidently, I need some new glasses.

Hardly defeatist, as I really don’t want to be a lawyer. I have my dream job and feel blessed for it.

I swear to God, I can’t name another country that takes such little criticism ever in the MSM other than Israel.

A fucking hospital ffs.

Everybody is biased. The question is can you put your biases aside for your job.

I could not, ergo I’m not a lawyer or in a role where that matters.

I can’t lie, being accountable to nobody is pretty damn good. Like any action I take I don’t need to consider someone else’s feelings.

We do live on an island directly on the middle of two weather fronts.

It’s either cold air from up north or warm air from the med that wins. Usually the cold wins unfortunately.

Ah, so I found the rules for this sub and I don’t see one that would have prevented me from asking my question.

The rules said no support for lemmy questions, which mine wasn’t.

I guess you could argue rule 5 if you’re being pedantic, the rule about creates discussion. Which I would argue my question did.

Thanks for pointing me in the correct place.

Now! 🌎🫨🤬💣💥

How so?

There is going to be lots of contradictory news sources for the next few weeks. Once the dust settles we will get a fuller picture of what have gone on.

That said you can find videos from Gaza and photos showing what appears to be white phosphorus being used.

The guardian article I saw said that Israel denies using it, which isn’t so much the guardian saying it didn’t happen.

Not that it matters but it’s a fact they used it in 2009 and so why wouldn’t they use it now? Again to be 100 we have to wait a little longer.

Things we do know though is they bombed Gaza and turned of the power so the hospitals couldn’t even help and there are dead Palestinian children thanks to Israeli retaliation.

Which is terrible, particularly since they condemned Hamas for killing Israeli children.

All I want is that Israel to be called out on their horrific acts just the same as we do for any other group, without being called an anti-Semite. Just because they had one of the best worlds worst things happen to them in WWII doesn’t mean they’re above criticism and if anything you would think they of all people would not perpetuate the same level of hatred for a group of people.

It depends what you’re using it for as to whether you need to fact check stuff.

I’m a software developer and if I can’t remember how to do an inner join in SQL then I can easier ask ChatGPT to do it for me and I will know if it is right or not as this is my field of expertise.

If I’m asking it how to perform open heart surgery on my cat, then sure I’m probably going to want several second opinions as that is not my area of expertise.

When using a calculator do you use two different calculators to check that the first one isn’t lying?

Also, you made a massive assumption that the stuff OP was using it for was something that warranted fact checking.

I can see why you would use it. Why would I want to search Google for inner joins sql when it is going to give me so many false links that don’t give me the info in need in a concise manner.

Even time wasting searches have just been ruined. Example: Top Minecraft Java seeds 1.20. Will give me pages littered with ads or the awful page 1-10 that you must click through.

Many websites are literally unusable at this point and I use ad blockers and things like consent-o-matic. But there are still pop up ads, sub to our newsletter, scam ads etc. so much so that I’ll just leave the site and forego learning the new thing I wanted to learn.

How does it work as I just copied five links from piped and five from YouTube directly into Yattee and got Failed Loading video - Operation stopped every time.

Yes.

No.

I can’t really afford to throw away a £1000 device that still have some time left on its contract.

I guess my next phone can be a pixel with graphene OS.

So you can check the United Nations for reputable repeats or condemnation of Israeli actions here is one suck link, but you can search more on the site. .

You can Google Israel using white phosphorus and again find reputable sources.

Also, listen to content from more liberal Israeli’s that are willing to call out their own government.

Again, I want to be abundantly clear I am not defending Hamas, peering pointing out that Israel are just as bad if not worse.

I’ve been very active this morning so stalk my profile to see all the posts I’ve been on and follow those sources and make up your own mind as we all should.

Don’t just believe me. I, like everybody on Earth, has bias.

Anecdotal but I’ve not seen a barbers on the level of women’s salons, and I was in the barbers yesterday.

Not an aerosol in sight. Sure sprayed me with some liquors but nothing like what women spray.

Plus women have salons for hair, nails and whatever else so more exposure.

Oof

Any of those way for iOS?

I am not defending the law, more pointing out the use of certain words have certain meanings, particularly for media companies to print them would be suicide if they said Bill Gates steals $30B. Whilst we may see that accurate, the current law doesn’t and thus they would be sued and give him more money.

I believe nothing will ever change as the vast majority of people don’t care, are numb to it, or don’t have time to care.

I don’t defend the law and in fact I’ll break the law as much as I can get away with.

I’m apathetic to life really and honestly dying doesn’t seem so bad as this place is a hell hole. And I am lucky enough to work my dream job, have a decent employer (< 10 staff, boss (lead engineer, owner) and works harder than me), average quality of life etc and yet I just can’t go on. Everywhere you look it’s just horrific humans committing horrific acts.

Then you have someone arguing about the semantics of words. Perhaps I’m too cynical now but I don’t see anything changing unless we have a mass revolt and well judging by how laws are changing over protests or how people view protesters I can hardly see a French style revolution happening.
