The news loves to focus on individual Israeli hostages and victims by providing backgrounds and what they do for a living, but for the most part just lists Palestinian deaths by numbers and only occasionally includes names or family relationships.

There is one news agency, I think the BBC, which used the phrase “unprecedented attack” to refer to the Oct atrocity that kicked off the current hostilities but doesn’t use any similar phrasing for the IDF killing many times more civilians as a response. So apparently genocide doesn’t need called out in a similar fashion because it is apparently not unprecedented.

As an American

Plus a little state sponsored travel, for a treat!

The clause that the user signs upon registering to Disney+ is a binding arbitration clause.

Disney is taking it waaaay further than anyone else by saying a free trial to D+ means any legal interaction with Disney goes to arbitration, not just for D+.

Arbitration clauses in EULAs are bullshit anyway, but if this isn’t thrown out of court in a way that kills the concept of being able to sue for damages when every business adds this clause.

My guess is that Ukraine is not inentionally targeting civilians, which is a significant difference.

Ugh, I have ADHD and it still frustrates me that my kiddo won’t do things even though I understand how hard it is. Sometimes I wonder if I am more mad at myself for being a hypocrit than her resistance.

You say it like it is a bad thing to acknowledge that people have differences in their biology.

Where did I say anyone tested her?

I haven’t seen any evidence that you aren’t a Russian bot.

To be fair, the Russians making the accusations are also malicious.

“Higher than average.” Hence the upper body muscles being larger that average for a female boxer.

It isn’t rocket surgery.

She is a woman who was born a woman and happens to have high testosterone for a woman, just like some people are taller than others. She just happens to be at one end of the testosterone spectrum.

Just because you want baseless rumors to be true doesn’t make them true.

Nuclear bombs would have fallout that blows across Europe.

Ukraine doesn’t need to defend any territory it has taken, it just needs to be a constant thorn in Russia’s side.

Of course, if Putin drops a tactical nuke inside of Russia’s internationally-recognized boarders, will the world care?

Yes, they will care about nuclear fallout blowing across Europe at a minimum.

Yeah, I assume this is a dual purpose morale booster and demoralizerm Ukraine shows that Russias defenses are a paper tiger because they relied on threats and it will force Russia to respond with troops, either by pulling from the front lines or reinforcements. Either way it moves the fighting to Russian land and that will demoralize support in Russia.

Plus they can disrupt more supply lines and war manufacturing locations by going around the border defenses. They don’t even need to hold ground, just be a thorn in Russia’s side.

So basically the same quality defenses that rolled over when the Wagner guy started his march to Moscow…

Don’t forget the military rape culture!
