Why are so many Pro-Palestine (I am pro-Palestine and anti-genocide) Americans refusing to vote for Harris due to her stance on Israel?
  • It qualifies as a war crime but not as genocide. But again their involvement is largely preventing aid shipments from entering Gaza. They are, legally speaking allowed to close any port of entry or exit from their country. There are people starving in Russia and Norway has closed the border. Is Norway committing a war crime? Also if that's the case then why are people not jumping on Egypt? There's a border crossing to Egypt as well. Is Egypt committing genocide?

    Just to be clear, I don't support either side in this conflict. And I do think the IDF are probably committing war crimes. But I don't think that it can be proven especially seeing as the official government statistics coming out of gaza are provided by a group that is internationally recognised as a terrorist organisation.

  • Why are so many Pro-Palestine (I am pro-Palestine and anti-genocide) Americans refusing to vote for Harris due to her stance on Israel?
  • The definition of genocide is actually extremely strict. Carpet bombing entire cities doesn't actually count. It has to be a concerted effort to eradicate a people group or culture. Because the IDF has a stated objective of "getting rid of Hamas" and not "murdering all Palestinians" it's impossible to prove the intent of their actions. If they were, for example stealing Palestinian babies and adopting them out to Israeli parents, ore forcing Palestinians to get Israeli passports, or forcing them to convert to Judaism at gunpoint, or sending people to reeducation camps, that would be a clear case of genocide. But extremely high civilian casualties genuinely doesn't count no matter how brutal it is.

  • The USA has several legally binding treaties etc promising military cooperation with Israel. Harris isn't allowed to break them legally. Any change to this would have to be passed by the house and senate. So it genuinely doesn't matter what Harris or anyone else wants.

  • Actually if you are on a raft with a limited amount of fresh water, you can mix in some sea water to stretch it out a bit. I think if you use a third seawater its ok, but don't quote me on that.

  • People who have accidentally eaten death cap mushrooms (amanita phalloides for the autists out there) say that it's fucking delicious (before their liver shuts down). Rabbits can eat them without problems. So if we use rabbit genes, we can crispr cas 9 our way to a good meal.

  • 'Is Trump okay?' Confusion as 'exhausted' ex-president abruptly ends friendly interview
  • He's suffering from frontotemporal dementia. This is relatively certain. The town hall was classic sundown syndrome. The fundamentalists know this and are going to have him removed from office shortly after the election (if he wins). The democrats would gladly take the opportunity to remove him, as would many republicans. Unfortunately that would put Vance in the oval office which should terrify anyone who doesn't want to larp a handmaid's tale.

    As a European I find it utterly bewildering that people seriously consider voting for him. But alas I don't get a say in it.

  • I am sick of old men.
  • I live in Norway and feel the same way. However I will point out that trump is pro Israel and doesn't like Muslims. He even wanted to move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

  • A lesbian couple was brutally beaten by group of men in Halifax. Police still haven't filed charges
  • Depends where in Europe. It is a bit bit arguably not as hard right as the states. You also have to consider that the cut off for left and right differ wildly between countries. AOC is pretty much center for Scandinavia. Joe Biden is center right... Which is why we're so concerned about trump.

  • Why?

    Why, Alice? Why?

    What's the deal with gbnews?

    Ok so I left Britain more than 15 years ago and have been living in Norway, blissfully unaware of what's been happening. I recently went back to visit family, where I notice that my dad's had a bit of a swing to the right, politically speaking. At some point he put on gbnews.

    WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!?

    How popular is this blatant propaganda?

    Question for those who are Hypersexual.

    So I know that despite the classic portrayal of an autist being someone who is asexual, many of us are at the opposite end of the scale. Yet if you search for Lemmy communities, there are several for asexual folk and none for hypersexual folk. Is there any good resources for us to rant/support each other/talk about our struggles? If it were specifically for neurodivergent folk, that would be a great bonus.

    How do I overcome my scat compulsions?

    It mostly happens when I'm stressed and driving with the radio off. I'll just be minding my own business and BAM! I'm 5 minutes into a scat singing solo which lasts until I reach my destination. It doesn't matter how long the journey is, I've stretched it for over an hour wile stuck in traffic once. Sometimes it's a lilting melodic solo, sometimes it's 30 minutes of unhinged post bop madness.

    Please help me!

    What language is graffiti written in?

    I'm not sure if this is something you guys can or want to help with. The bathroom at my current job is completely free of graffiti except for the words "itik nuliak" written very clearly in Sharpie. It's not a language local to where I live and putting it in Google translate doesn't do anything. It's been bothering me.

    Parents of multiple children, how do you keep your home clean?

    I have three with one on the way. It's a constant struggle to keep the place livable. Before I had children I was not a neat person and kept things livable by not doing things that made mess and staying out as much as possible. Can't do that with kids, so what's the trick?

    What are some good unhinged YouTubers?

    I'm really into unusual/insane/unhinged. I find them fascinating. I've followed conspiracy theorists, alien abductees, otherkin, therians, people who eat cat fur of their sofa, etc etc.

    I'm looking for good weirdness to watch during downtime. Any suggestions.

    Really nasty people will do.

    What should I call my son (due at the end of April)

    Im having difficulty finding names I like. I need two - three names that roll off the tongue and wouldn't be out of place with a long hyphenated surname.

    No religious names

    No surnames

    No places

    Nothing that rhymes with Aden

    Upvote good suggestions otherwise post ones. Bonus points if it's a sci-fi name.

    Edit: lots of good suggestions, but I think I'm going with 'Wash'.
