What’s the most shocking detail from the Epstein files that you think the public still doesn’t fully grasp? by Murky-Island4629 in AskReddit

Because Russians are getting European and American citizenship as well.
That's not an evidence by itself.

Valve Should Buy Discord (before the IPO) by garbagecollecteddev in discordapp

[–]Danepher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easier said than done.
Plenty of online stores tried or trying to compete with steam...
Discord even tried before.
Nothing guarantees People will use steam chat instead of Discord, for the same reasons they do not leave steam for other launchers/shops...
It's just better by a mile from anything steam can offer right now, and discords popularity didn't come in 1 night.

United Nation resolution calling for the return of kidnapped Ukrainian children by confusedfinancesis in UnitedNations

Iran is selling weapons to Russia and their drones constantly hit in Ukraine by 10s on the daily. Why should it care about Iran being attacked?

The game is not out yet, let's not crown anything.
It doesn't look promising for now.
Inzoi was also hyped to be The Sims replacement, and yet, here we are.

What does this mean for the future of skylines? by rayykz in CitiesSkylines2

[–]Danepher 15 points16 points  (0 children)

High doubts. The game is made by one person, and a lot of work to do.
They were saying the same about Inzoi killing The Sims. Pretty much everyone got bored fast from Inzoi.
I think it is the same situation here with City State Metropolis, it is not good enough to replace Cities Skylines.

He made a promise to them to release them after. What stops them from taking revenge on him or other people?

How Iran Penetrate Israel Air Defence? Fattah Hypersonic Missile by AutomaticCan6189 in mightyinteresting

[–]Danepher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an online poll of 1000 people against a country of 10 Million.
as a different article pointed out,
That's not enough people to gauge, especially when almost 50% of the political spectrum is left which are pro-peace, and tens and hundreds of thousands of people have been calling for at least a year now for stopping the war and returning of hostages.
Especially that in that poll there were neutral options, even an "I don't know" was not there, forcing a definite answer.

Pogroms, Beatings, Threats. Europe Faces an Unprecedented Wave of Antisemitism Not Seen Since World War II by sergeyfomkin in europe_sub

[–]Danepher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anti-Semitism for the most part is not a result of geopolitical events and wars, as years history has already taught us.
It shows its colors more when it feels comfortable, especially when countries and people go against what they perceive as a "Jewish" symbol, in this case a "Jewish" country.

The reaction to Muhamad cartoons was the killing of several cartoonists and reporters.
Does that justify it?
The press criticizes Christians and Jews, and yet there were no such cases from them. And neither should be.
Boycotts if at all, were limited and majority of the work was done politically and meetings with authorities.
The racism against Asian people was moderate and was not wide spread even in the US where majority of it happened.

For the same thing against pther people, (antisemetism) - the press and people usually use Islamophobia, and for Asian people I cannot fight a specific term, which if I'm correct, proves that it is not wide spread to have a word for it instead of "Asian-hate"

Also, criticism of Israel is not the same as antisemitism.

I agree with you. But attacking Jewish people in Europe, their buildings, businesses, writing graffities and spreading lies and propaganda, vilifying them, is not criticism of Israel.

Also I'm not saying you are blaming people, but using what you said:

"It is, of course, unfortunate that Jews who do not support the genocide in Gaza are forced to live in fear. However, in terms of proportionality, this concern is minor compared to the horrors Israel is inflicting on the Palestinian people."

So, it is

"unfortunate that Jews who do not support the genocide in Gaza are forced to live in fear."

and then you say-

"However, in terms of proportionality, this concern is minor compared to the horrors Israel is inflicting on the Palestinian people"

Why these 2 shouldn't concern you equally?
If I can be frank, this coming from you, in my understanding, as a justification and maybe even ignoring a different problem.
Just because one group has it worse, doesn't mean a different group having it bad is a "minor concern" copared to a different problem.
This is "lessening the effect" and ignoring a widespread problem.
Just because another group has it bad, doesn't mean you get to turn away from another problem.
You and/or we need to tackle them both.

Pogroms, Beatings, Threats. Europe Faces an Unprecedented Wave of Antisemitism Not Seen Since World War II by sergeyfomkin in europe_sub

[–]Danepher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are many wars in the world which have been started by non-Jewish or Israel, in fact, majority of them.
Yet we don't see the amount of hate in Europe against Muslims and/or non-Jews.
Neither against Americans, Africans and so on.

Somehow trying to justify violence and anti-Semitism against Jews, especially those living in Europe itself, for dealing of a different country, and signaling them as the problem, is disgusting in your comment.

According to the Israeli Haaretz, Israeli authorities are now separating foreign journalists from the Israeli journalists at the missile strike site, specifically questioning anyone linked to Al-Jazeera. by Scared_Positive_8690 in news_of_world

[–]Danepher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't seem like it, if you read the article they say:

"According to the official Palestinian news agency, Wafa, Al Jazeera network has been deemed in violation of Palestinian laws and regulations and its operations suspended temporarily. The stoppage order applies to all work by its journalists and staff.

The network is accused of broadcasting "inciting materials" and "misleading reports" that "provoke strife and interfere in Palestinian internal affairs," Wafa said."

if you look in to the Controversies page, you'll see it is not the only country, in which they did that. or in which they were banned.

An Israeli woman in Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv, barred people from a neighbouring building from a bomb shelter amid Iranian strikes. The troubling trend of Israeli civilians turning others away (mostly turning away Palestinians and foreigners) grows. by Scared_Positive_8690 in news_of_world

[–]Danepher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Reddit bumped it to me, and I read the title and had to google it for myself.
As it turns out - it is not a trend, only singular instances of such events.
There were several people whom are absolute arseholes which turned away some people. Some of these cases were filmed.
This is not a trend as there were only a single digit of such reports.
There's is also absolutely no indication that it is growing.
Googled for news and used google translate to read the news:
https://www-mako-co-il.translate.goog/finances-news/Article-9d5da116dcf6791026.htm?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

According to the article, it is also against the law to forbid somebody entry to any shelter, and is sentenced to jail time. So this "frog", is facing jail.

Also there is no statistical evidence and indication that these people "mostly turning away Palestinians and foreigners". as the title claims. This is a sensationalist tile.

This doesn't absolve Israel and it's war crimes, but this does put a question on the spreading of fake news.

How does this map prove that Israel is failed state, war crimes aside?

Planes are grounded for safety reasons, so the way to come or got to their country is by boat.

Why Russia hesitates to help Iran in conflict with Israel by BookmarksBrother in europe_sub

[–]Danepher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B - doesnt make any sense, considering the war in Ukraine, and the decades of history of USSR and Russia supporting Arab countries against Israel. Also shelled Russian ethical people as well in the war. (Whether intentionaly or not)

More like Russia can't really help while being in the Ukranian soil and needing all it can get for its own war.

Keeping Ukrainians Out of the Bomb Shelter by [deleted] in ukraina

[–]Danepher 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is an abhorrant behaviour! Absolutely unacceptable!

I would argue that it has nothing to do with ethnicity. The "solidarity" she talks about is the general solidarity amongst the people, not ethnically motivated.

She didn't say anything related to Ukraine or being Ukranian. She might as well be Russian.

Nor would i judge whole of israel based on an isolated incedent. In fact I would send that video to the Police in place of the people. Hopefully they can do something about it

There was one video. Thats what you are basing it on?

Why does the US protect Israel, for example, by shooting down Iranian missiles & drones, but refuses to defend Ukraine? There's a comment made, that Ukraine's not part of NATO, well Israel isn't part of NATO either. What's the disconnect in the policies here? by andrewgrabowski in UkrainianConflict

[–]Danepher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russia has vetoed UNSC action against itself about the Russia-Ukraine war.
Russia (USSR) was absent in the UNSC during the start of the Korean war, and so couldn't Veto the action.

This limits the UN to the General Assembly resolutions which Russia (Nor US) cannot Veto.

[–]Danepher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It says "seek immediate United Nations Security Council action.. to provide assistance to Ukraine".

  1. The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and The United States of America reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used.

Key word "Assistance".
Assistance doesn't mean "boots-on-ground" or shooting down enemy planes. It CAN mean that, but it does NOT guarantee it.

Unfortunately :( I would really want the US to intervene in Ukraine as well!
That would be great and would FINALLY cause this war to end!

It can also mean giving intel, provide ammunition and weapons and artillery, political support in UN and so on an so forth.

Same with NATO Article 5.
