DAE really want to play blitz on this board now?

Worth noting that's Hexbear not Lemmy as a whole. Hexbear has a unique culture.

To answer the question, the way you attract openly cis women is create spaces where they are definitely not bullied, trolled, and stalked. The fediverse is young and has relatively few mod tools.

There are plenty of cis women on mastodon as far as I can see.

This. Lemmy.world is probably the most vanilla. I suspect there are probably more cis women on instances like Beehaw as well.

Israeli campaign against ICC may be ‘crimes against justice’, say legal experts (www.theguardian.com)

Efforts by Israel’s intelligence agencies to undermine and influence the international criminal court (ICC) could amount to “offences against the administration of justice” and should be investigated by its chief prosecutor, legal experts have said....

It is pretty bad. The part where the Mossad guy "ambushed" the judge in a hotel room is blatant intimidation.

That would be a really positive outcome, their commandments are pretty good.

Noooo not the alpacas!! They deserve better.

For real tho I'm not looking forward to pandemic 2.0.

Rights and sympathy are two very different things.

Seeing people you have no sympathy with as somehow not having human rights is exactly how we get to genocide.

I feel the same way. He's not my friend and he's not a cute kid or something. He's a genocidal war criminal.

They do exist tho. Interestingly they look nothing like comic sans.

Edit here's a couple of examples:

It's not overused anymore so the issues which motivated the hate have sort of faded away.

Personally I think it's meh, and not as useful as other fonts.

  • If I want an easy-to-read sans serif I'll go with Lato or something nice like that.

  • If I want a font for dyslexics I'll go with one that was actually designed for that purpose, like Dyslexie.

  • If I want a handwriting font I'll go with one of the millions of schoolkid writing fonts.

  • If I want a hand-lettered look I'll go with Amatic SC or Hitchcock or something.

Honestly the only use case I can think of for actually choosing Comic Sans above any other font is to be ironic or to irritate people in the workplace.

Ikr! Pretty sure its a reference to the Spanish Inquisition's expulsion of Jewish people in the 1490s.

In other words it's not just super random whataboutism, it's also a dogwhistle to the "chosen people versus antisemitic rest of the world" narrative that Netanyahu et al use to drum up support from their base.

Not even close.

Well said. I think you're totally spot on with this comment.

Also this gave me a chuckle:

No one would print rotten.com on paper and sell it at the corner.

in a major blow to the American-led effort to create a maritime corridor for humanitarian supplies into the war-torn enclave

in a major blow to the American-led effort to create a ridiculous PR exercise to smokescreen their complicity in the starvation of the genocide-torn occupied territory.

Fixed it for them.

No one here has been hearing about it in the news for hundreds of years tho (unless some of you are undead/vampires).

Arguably the roots of the Sudan conflict go back to the 1300s.

But in both cases the modern nation-state conflicts kicked off after the colonization of the 19th centuries, and in both cases most of us have been aware of it for decades.

Is it naive of me to think American news must have at least reported on the international intervention into the 2004-2005 genocide?

And the separation of Sudan into two countries in 2011? Those were both pretty big; I thought that would be why the person above was calling this an old conflict.

Not all armed conflicts are genocides.

@victorz - The "fast"/ big obvious ones are Darfur and Gaza, but there's also probably Oromia, slow genocide in West Papua, Western Sahara, Xinjiang, and I think Nagorny-Karabakh and Tigray could start up again at some point. There is obviously a genocidal component to the Tatmadaw's activities in Myanmar but right now they seem to be getting their asses kicked by the alliance which includes ethnic minority armies.

Then there are the more obscure genocides that are mostly only mentioned outside western and english-language news media, for example the ongoing slow genocide of the Baloch people in the Balochistan region.

Definitely. The US isn't likely to like either side given one of them is tight with Iran and the other one has dealings with Russian mercenaries.

I agree with you. Beheading means decapitation as a form of execution.

At this point it's really splitting hairs. The IDF literally has a program called "Where's Daddy" that allows them to make sure suspects are at home with their families when they bomb them; so I think it's safe to infer that they intend to kill at least some portion of children.

I liked it better before miniclip bought it. There used to be a really fast paced clone called petriedish that was full of Russians, Poles, and Ukrainians, wonder what happened to it.

Idk, I've had to deal with coronial inquiries and I can't imagine what it would be like if the Coroner was just some random person instead of, well, an actual coroner.

It seems like electing your neighbour the lawnmower guy to run your divorce court instead of letting a judge do it.
