I’ll take your word for it because it’s still baffling to me even when you explain it.

He seems to recognize its sovereignty… https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/07/netanyahu-israel-consider-tactical-pauses-gaza

They should talk to their leader because he’s saying otherwise. Apparently either Netanyahu or the Knesset is lying. Hmmm… I wonder which?

That looks like some AI that fucked up!

Israel’s parliament has passed two bills aimed at preventing the UN’s agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) from being able to continue operating in Israel.

Palestine is not in Israel. Netanyahu claims he is not annexing it. If that’s the case, UNRWA can just give them the finger.

But nowhere near the last.

Founded in 1995 by CEO Sujit Kumar Singh to distribute pharmaceuticals in post-Soviet Russia, Shreya’s shift towards technology exports represents a notable diversification from its core business. The company has capitalised on the demand for restricted products as traditional suppliers have retreated following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

A key aspect of Shreya’s recent operations involves Malaysia, which has become the source for much of the technology being re-exported to Russia. Trade records reveal that Shreya imported 1,407 Dell servers from Malaysia between March and August 2024, subsequently rerouting them to Russia.

While trading with Russia is not illegal for Indian companies — given India’s non-participation in US or EU sanctions — Shreya’s transactions have attracted scrutiny from Western authorities. Visits by US and EU officials to India highlight the urgency of closing loopholes that allow sanctioned technology to reach Russia.

That’s quite the pivot. I hope someone in India is paying close attention to Mr. Singh’s bank accounts.

That would be worth a scientific study, don’t you think? Isn’t it worth trying to find ways to stop child predators before they become predators?

You seem to think I’m suggesting that the UK government create childporn.gov.uk or something.

I get that they didn’t listen to Smokey, but they could have at least listened to the King of Siam.

Interesting. Sounds like it’s a bit inspired by the legend of La Ciudad Blanca.

I keep trying to re-read and understand whatever it is you’re trying to say and I can’t figure it out, so I feel like one of us has had too much mercury.

The article said about 500 km from Ukraine. I needed a visual reference for that kind of distance.

Holy fuck.

Although they have a hell of a thing to say when someone says, “you need to do your own research” to them.

People aren’t generally aware, but the Yúcatan was densely populated during the Mayan classic period (approx. 250-900 CE). Last I read, the estimate was around 20 million people, but that was years ago, so I’m sure it’s gone way up with all the new Lidar surveys.

The population of vastly larger Europe in 1000 CE was less than twice that.

We don’t know for sure why their society collapsed, but the going theory is significant climate change, so there’s something to look forward to.

Also, this caption made me laugh:

There are no pictures of the city but it had pyramid temples similar to this one in nearby Calakmul

And the picture would look similar to that pyramid except all trees. Which is why they only saw it on a Lidar survey. Duh.

Please don’t do that. Just report the post.

I hope this is the start of many more such voices.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

Sorry… why should I look at what I personally want out of the porn I want to see objectively? It’s entirely subjective.

I mean I’m not sure how I could have been clearer that this was about my personal preferences. I said “to me” twice.

No?

The majority of the women in porn, who can’t be more than their very early 20s, look like children to me. And they infantilize them too. I’m not sure where you got anyone not my age from.

I’ve been saying that for ages. Obviously we don’t want to enable any pedophiles to do anything horrific to children, but we’re at a state right now where if you have those urges to begin with, you’re basically already told to accept that you’re an incurable monster. So why not act on the urges?

Somehow we need to get through to such people that they need to get help before they do anything terrible. I’m not sure how to do that in the current climate though.
