  • DNC Responds to Gaza Protest in Worst Way Possible

    Jump

  • So, signs being flexible means attempts to get rid of and cover them don't matter? And hitting someone with a sign purposefully (two people really, since it also hits the woman next to her) is fine if you're unable to get leverage to hit harder? They're just playful taps, I suppose?

  • DNC Responds to Gaza Protest in Worst Way Possible

    Jump

  • I decided to do a test. This is the same news outlet as the article I posted yesterday, that one being critical of Trump. It was massively upvoted, lots of comments and conversation. Great!

    Then there's this one. Similar topic, but not even criticizing Biden or Harris, the first line made that clear. But it's criticizing people at the DNC that were, as one major example, physically violent toward people holding a "Stop Arming Israel" sign. Horrible stuff, the guy should be arrested for assault.

    And, what happens? No comments after half an hour and massively downvoted.

    So, yeah, y'all fail the test. You're blatant hypocrites and it's sad.

  • Dutch beach volleyball player convicted of rape says he considered quitting the Olympics

    Jump

  • So, criticizing you for raping a child is "bullying" you? I don't think the claimed rehabilitation happened. He should still be in jail.

  • Former Xbox studio Tango Gameworks and 'Hi-Fi Rush' have been acquired by PUBG's Krafton Inc, saving it from closure

    Jump

  • Well, that's good. Though I have some concerns about how well Krafton is as a manager for such things. Also, didn't a lot of the developers and other people in Tango already quit before this anyways and went to do other things or joined other studios?

  • But there are distinctions to be made even then in regards to colorants and preservatives, right? Since plenty of both of those are from naturally occurring sources. Like, do you have a problem with Red 4 or Red 26? There's a ton of others that are just letter numbers too, like E161g or E161e. What's funny is, even then, a lot of them have disparate approvals around the world, being banned in the EU, but allowed in Australia and New Zealand or vice versa.

    Jump

  • I did. I was asking you what you were defining it is, since "artificial" as used in the article is often not artificial, but has natural sources. Or, in some cases, are chemically identical to the natural source and thus has no meaningful biological difference.

    I don't exactly expect news articles to understand anything about organic chemistry or biochemistry.

  • They technically have preservative properties because of the hydrogenation, but they really aren't used for that purpose. You don't fry things to necessarily preserve them better. It's for taste/texture, like you said.

    Jump

  • Sure, there's plenty of preservatives we don't use anymore because there are way healthier alternatives. But there's also plenty of anti-science people who fearmonger about any and every preservative despite knowing nothing about its chemistry or even any claims of harm.

  • I really don't understand the people who fearmonger about preservatives. Do you want food to go bad? Preserving things in salt and other methods are as old as cooking itself and are responsible for feeding people around the world in horrible famine times.

  • Far-right trolls have launched a racist crusade against Kamala Harris

  • I admit, I wasn't expecting them to go as far as using "Colored" as a general insult. Do they seriously think this helps Trump's chances?

  • Biden endorses Harris as Democratic nominee after ending his candidacy

    Jump

  • One funny thing to note is that, outside of just overt racism, all the arguments to use against Harris (that were used in the last election and primarily from the left) are ones that...won't exactly make her seem bad to conservatives. Like, are you really going to use a "she's tough on crime" argument against her?

  • We Volunteered at a Gaza Hospital. What We Saw Was Unspeakable.

    Jump

  • While touring the hospital we walked through one of the ICUs and found multiple preteens admitted with gunshot wounds to the head. One might argue that a child could have been injured unintentionally in an explosion, or perhaps even forgotten when Israel invaded a children’s hospital and reportedly left infants to die in a pediatric intensive care unit.

    Gunshot wounds to the head are an entirely different matter.

    We started seeing a series of children, preteens mostly, who’d been shot in the head. They’d go on to slowly die, only to be replaced by new victims who’d also been shot in the head, and who would also go on to slowly die. Their families told us one of two stories: the children were playing inside when they were shot by Israeli forces, or they were playing in the street when they were shot by Israeli forces.

    (The Israel Defense Forces did not respond to specific questions for this story, but in an emailed statement, it said, “The IDF is committed to mitigating civilian harm during operational activity. In that spirit, the IDF makes great efforts to estimate and consider potential civilian collateral damage in its strikes.”)
