oh… have an updoot my friend

negative, it was a stupid meme that does not translate into real life AT ALL and now autistics are trying to make it make sense

I get the feeling you guys link me to too many articles at the guardian

US companies are pinching Australian content, using it to train their models, then selling it back to us. It’s an extractive industry: neocolonialism, writ large.

Not necessarily US companies, Chinese and European as well, in fact anyone who doesn’t want to end up enslaved to a US tech monopoly (computer hardware, smartphones, operating systems, programs/office suites, clouds, data centres etc) yet again.

They’re also not really selling you back your own words are they? It’s like putting everything into a blender and what comes out works well, that’s the magic of AI

Also lumping together Iraqi jihadis (as you call them) with Palestinians and their liberation resistance movement is kinda racist.

lol all Jihadi’s look the same to me🤣

And why is it propped up by Western countries

It’s not? The economy of Israel is incredible, it’s a true 1st world western economy surrounded by awful trillion dollar islamic authoritarian petro-states and awful backwards islamic hellholes, America would have already invaded and stuck a starbucks, mcdonalds and giant american flag right in the middle of Gaza if it was next to it

ok? i didn’t realise you were trying so hard, why do you feel the need to convince me of anything? we’re chatting on a forum not fighting on the front line

im also more than capable of coming to my own opinions on things, i’ve never changed my mind after 80 left wing progressives hounded me into submission, just like 80 conservatives can’t hound me into saying that being gay is a bad thing no matter how many “science facts” they throw at me

while i can see israel doing bad things, i know exactly how jihadi’s act since i’ve been watching and reading about them in depth since 2001, they are by far the most evil fighters in the world, nobody straps tnt to a toddler like an islamic jihadi, and i have very little sympathy for any town/city/group that harbours them

if you watch for example

Mosul offensive: Fighting ISIS on the frontline in Iraq

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx6U3x2M3XA

even the iraqi army struggles to determine who is a civilian and who is an islamic jihadi, because (surprise surprise) the jihadis hide in plain clothes amongst women and children

they were even scared to let a woman with a child in worried she was a suicide bomber

i completely understand why israel would rather stay 100 yards away and bomb from the air rather than go into a snake pit

so my question is where is hamas and where are the palestinians?

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed

I don’t care for any legal definition tbh, if anything trying to check boxes (with the icj quoting tweets? how low will we go :\ ) it feels like the word has been completely watered down from meaning I’m going to go door to door, house to house and kill every single one of you, I’m going to cut you into pieces, rape your wife and children then cut them into pieces, I’m going to capture you, put you and everyone you know on trains, torture you, and then gas you until not one of your people are left…to whatever Gaza is…

Even if we put genocide aside, you cannot deny the ethnic cleansing aspect.

There’s definitely war crimes in there from both sides, Israel is not doing itself any favours taking out an apartment building to take out 1 to 2 hamas members, that’s a bit cold, it’s why I’m surprised the palestinians haven’t risen up and killed every hamas member out there as surely they must recognise hamas are radioactive

Hundreds join Gaza’s largest anti-Hamas protest since war began

The protests in northern Gaza came a day after Islamic Jihad gunmen launched rockets at Israel, prompting an Israeli decision to evacuate large parts of Beit Lahia, which sparked public anger in the area.

But nothing really major since then?

I just wish this shitshow was over so we can go back to focusing on Ukraine :(

no they don’t lol

there’s 2.2 million of them in a space the size of Manhattan, if they wanted to genocide them they could have done it 1000x over by now

Over a span of around 100 days, members of the Tutsi ethnic group, as well as some moderate Hutu and Twa, were systematically killed by Hutu militias. While the Rwandan Constitution states that over 1 million people were killed, most scholarly estimates suggest between 500,000 and 800,000 Tutsi died, mostly men.[5][6][7] The genocide was marked by extreme violence, with victims often murdered by neighbours, and widespread sexual violence, with between 250,000 and 500,000 women raped

and they did it mainly with machettes

that is a genocide

Al-Hayya said Hamas does not regret the Oct. 7 attacks, despite the destruction it has brought down on Gaza and its people. He denied that Hamas militants had targeted civilians during the attacks — despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary — and said the operation succeeded in its goal of bringing the Palestinian issue back to the world’s attention.

Damn they really don’t give a shit about their own civilians, just fodder for western leftists

The worst thing for Israel is dead Palestinian children

The best thing for Hamas is dead Palestinian children

mfw i’m up for 36 hours after drinking 8 cans of redbull

Hamas has made an offer of surrendering completely, returning the prisoners of war (as well as any hostages) and leaving forever in exchange for a Palestinian state

What does (Israel) want from us?

the hostages and hamas to disarm? i thought this was well known

The headline for the commercial, which features Australians drinking and frolicking on the beach, is “So where the bloody hell are you?”.

As a result, the word “bloody” will be cut for the advert when shown on UK TV, according to Tourism Australia.

i knew the brits were censor heavy but wow

yeah this is like saying man used google and now did something stupid

losing weight is so simple (just eat less) but so fuckin difficult (it is insanely difficult to eat less)

when I get below my average weight (85kg) say down to like 80kg, my body acts like it’s dying

america invaded vietnam, palestinians, specifically the iranian armed military wing of the palestinian gov which was voted in by the palestinians invaded israel

the fact they’re getting beat up now as israel hunts down hamas and hostages is not something ill cry over

palestinians have been trying to stand up to hamas but are getting tortured, raped and killed

Sorry no I was referring to @Skiluros@sh.itjust.works crying about the source

The boy’s mother, Hedaya al-Muta, has spoken to the media

Cool, maybe she should tell them to speak to Hamas ? Why is Hamas using her as propaganda?

A widely cited example is from Mousa Abu Marzouk, a senior member of Hamas’ political bureau. In interviews in October 2023, when questioned about why Hamas had built extensive tunnels for its fighters’ protection but not bomb shelters for civilians, Abu Marzouk replied that the tunnels “are meant to protect us,” i.e., Hamas members, rather than civilians.

"We built the tunnels because we have no other way of protecting ourselves from being killed in airstrikes. We are fighting from inside the tunnels… Seventy-five percent of the population of Gaza are refugees, and it is the UN’s responsibility to protect them."

Oh right, because Hamas doesn’t give a shit about its own civilians :)

How about this one:

do you want to chat with an ai to clear this up lol

yes but the housing crisis is a whole problem in and of itself not related to ai

houses were unaffordable and increasingly unaffordable as you said years before chatgpt3.5 was even released

somehow we have a larger population than ever, more immigrants than ever but still

Mr Crost said Australia needed many more skilled tradespeople — including carpenters, electricians and plumbers — if it was to have any realistic hope of meeting the 1.2 million new homes goal.

“We are currently 83,000 tradies short,” he said.

if we can get house prices back down i think we’d in far better nick than we were previously

Post-war Australia posed its own set of challenges such as housing shortages, continued rationing, economic instability and general unrest.
