World News@lemmy.world•‘Free world, where are you?’ Gaza hospital chief pleads after babies killedEnglish
711·3 years agoI mean, they send military aid to Israel because their neighbor wants to wipe out all jews and they send economic aid to palestine because not all of them want to kill all jews. So im not really sure who you are talking about.
The US is absolutely not sitting this one out. We are supporting our ally Israel. Just as Iran is supporting their ally Hamas.
Stop pretending this is so black and white.

World News@lemmy.world•'I just find bombs, dead people... it's really scary' - British Palestinian girl in GazaEnglish
1513·3 years agoPeople need to relate. It’s easier for the West to relate to a british person than a Palestinian person. It’s hard to relate to just Palestinian because a significant amount is a part of Hamas, and Hamas wants me dead because I am not Muslim. Hamas was democratically elected. That means a majority of Palestinians think their way is the right way. That little british-palestinian didn’t vote for Hamas. I can relate to her. It’s hard to relate to people that democratically elected a group that wants to kill me.

Technology@lemmy.world•VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind itEnglish
35·3 years agoVR still sucks, but didnt boats make people want to throw up. Then trains, then cars. They still do sometimes, but it’ll be worth it

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I feel like we're all stuck in a movie where all the rich people live on some kind of floating island or satellite with everything they need to live well, and all of us have zero chance of going there
01·3 years agoIsn’t this the plot to elysium?
In all seriousness, its not impossible to go from the bottom to the top, but its definitely improbable. Anyone can do middle class. Just do middle class.
If you really want to go wild, sacrifice your pleasantries in order to save a bit and give it to your child a chance. Ill give you an example.
Jeff Bezos mother Jackie and father Tim when were 16 and 18 respectively when she was pregnant with Jeff. Jeffs first dad was a drunk asshole and they got divored. She met a Cuban Refugee named Miguel Bezos, who adopted Jeff. Jeff went and got himself into Princeton, where he graduated and started working for a financial tech company.
Now Miguel got his degree and was working for exxon. Thats how he was able to save up the $254k that he and Jackie loaned to Jeff. With that, he made an online bookstore called amazon.com. From there Jeff became the multi billionaire he is now. Oh, Jackie and Miguel got 6% each so they’re billionaires too.
Now that’s the American Dream. Even so, I think the question is, how rich is too rich?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why wasn't former President Bush of the USA, charged with any crimes, when we marched into Afghanistan and Iraq by his orders, under pretenses?
132·3 years agoI mean how bout a source buddy?
Heres what they say on their website. “As a court of last resort, it seeks to complement, not replace, national Courts.”
https://www.icc-cpi.int/about/the-court
Perhaps we interpret that differently, or I could have described it better.
You just come in here, take one sentence, call it false, and leave? Come on mannnnn.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why wasn't former President Bush of the USA, charged with any crimes, when we marched into Afghanistan and Iraq by his orders, under pretenses?
501·3 years agoNo stupid questions, but certainly stupid answers.
The USA is not a part of the international criminal court. So even if the ICC said the US committed war crimes, they have no way to enfore those laws in the USA.
ICC is for states that can’t prosecute within their country. USA can do that. So it goes like this:
ICC: Hey, USA, you committed war crimes
USA: We dont recognize your court of law, and we did our own investigation where we found no wrongdoing.
ICC: We disagree
USA: Okay, that’s nice. If you arrest Bush we will invade the Hague
Stalemate.

Technology@lemmy.world•World’s first crewed liquid hydrogen plane takes offEnglish
34·3 years agoMake it with nuclear power. Turn water to hydrogen and oxygen. Release the oxygen. Package the hydrogen. Burn the hydrogen and it mixes with the oxygen. Maybe eject the spent radioactive fuel into space some day?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is anyone else having trouble giving up Reddit due to content?
311·3 years agoIts still early. This is the first time there has been a legitimate alternative to reddit and thats honestly only because 3rd party apps like sync have made it usable.
Reddit started when Digg changed its site and everyone went to reddit. There has also been multiple attempts to leave reddit, but no similar alternatives. Now there is a good alternative and there will be more things reddit does that will make people look for alternatives.

What does excel and incels have in common? Confusing things for a date.
