I mean, yes? Exactly? Words matter. The right words matter. Just because a group is doing something negative does not mean every negative word applies to them. That’s small brain thinking.
When you use the right words to describe a horrible action, it’s accusation and condemnation. When you use the wrong words, it just becomes name calling.
If we’re being technical, then it’s the one you crossed out that says
Law. the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law.
Because CBC is using murder as a legal definition, not common parlance, and it doesn’t fit the legal definition of murder. But I get it, you don’t want technicalities.
No, it’s not the same thing. When most Christians, or governments in countries with majority Christian population, hear about priests raping kids, they are disgusted by it and are 100% ok with punishing the offender.
When Muslim countries hear about the above, they think justice has been done. Obviously the girl should have just been a good little child sex slave and went along with whatever her husband wanted. The see shit like this as A-OK.
It’s a false equivalence to say these two views are the same.
I feel like there’s a lot of variables here. I am making some assumptions here, but as an example, I don’t think the hospitals in Gaza would have things like multiple MRI’s or CT Scanners that you would find in more developed areas. Those things require a pretty large amount of power. I know a lot of hospitals in undeveloped regions often only have one, sometimes none at all.
I think the only thing that can give some perspective is how big the diesel tanks are at the hospital. How much does 300L fill them? If that’s like a quarter or less of their total capacity, then yea, that’s not enough. But if that fills them by over half, then I kind of get it. You can only deliver so much at a time if you don’t want trucks of fuel parked outside the hospital, which just seems like a bad idea for many reasons.
Wish granted.
Now they use X.
A lot of “control” based conspiracy theories are born out of fear. The world is a chaotic, messy place and the idea that NO ONE is truly at the helm and we’re all just stumbling through the world is absolutely terrifying to some people. It’s far more comforting for them to believe there is some evil cabal or secret organization pulling the strings and that THEY’RE the reason bad things happen; rather than accepting that the world is complicated and most of us are barely removed from monkeys throwing poo at each other.
Say Mexico was starving. Say aid was sent to them again and again but every time, the Mexican government snatched a large chunk of it up and hoarded it. Say then that the Mexican government decides to attack the US and the US cut off aid. The Mexican government still have huge stocks of food and supplies from the years of aid that was meant for the people, but now no new aid is coming in.
Is the US to blame for Mexicans starving? Or is it the Mexican government who refuse to distribute their stockpiles to their people?
If my rent goes from 1000 a month to 1500 a month from one year to the next, that’s 50% inflation. If it stays at that higher amount for a full year afterwards, that’s 0% inflation. But that doesn’t mean I’m suddenly living the good life. I just went a full year with my rent way higher than I used to pay, and my income did not increase proportionally. I am able to save less (if at all), can’t afford things I used to be able to, and feel just a little more desperate every month.
That’s why looking at year-over-year inflation is meaningless. It doesn’t reflect the long-term hardships that come from a sudden price spike that never goes back down.
95% of the time, there is a little button/link somewhere near the top of the page that says “Jump to Recipe”. Click that and you’ll go straight to the recipe.
The man came in his first day carrying a sink. Now he’s sinking the company. Seems pretty straightforward.
It would be off the charts in Chinese media too if they had things like free press and didn’t arrest their people for posting things critical of the Chinese government.

My dude, hydrogen is produced from like fucking everything. You can get more from electrolysis of water.
All that and you still went with torrents? I’m surprised you didn’t go with Usenet.
So because something bad happened and we’re all emotional, we’re supposed to ignore critical thinking and just go along with whatever people say that makes them feel better about the situation, regardless of if it’s correct or not? There’s a sort of merit in that I suppose, but it’s not for me.
