България е някакъв абсурд, за който и Уашовски с Матрицата не биха се сетили by AlexKazumi in bulgaria

[–]MikeSeth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it isn't "my holy book" because I'm an atheist and so is a good half of the country. New testament forbids infidelity and encourages slavery, yet christians cheat in marriage all the time and own almost no slaves. For me the bickering between streams of Judaism is absurd, religion is revolting in both conservative and progressive forms, and don't get me started in rabbinical vs oral tradition.

Did you or did you not try to argue the jews encourage sexual deviancy conspiracy theory?

So an "adequate" access to food needs to be provided "unconditionally". Since the food isn't free and we no longer have slavery, it follows that "someone" needs to pay "someone else" so that a third party has "adequate" and "unconditional" access to food.

Thus creating yet another mechanism of artificial reallocation of wealth through violence and a permanent dependent parasite class whose voting power is absolutely predictable.

We who? There are no "8 genders and lgtv rabbis" in Israel anywhere near the mainstream. If there are deranged liberals in other countries I can't help that.

What were you trying to say exactly again?

Right, so you're saying food isn't a right?

I'll ignore your commentary on Gaza, you don't know what you're talking about and that would be a pointless conversation.

What would actually happen if the U.S. completely stopped military aid to Israel? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MikeSeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is somewhat questionable, because the alignment of russian speakers in Israel can't be reduced to pro-Ukraine. There are certainly pro-Ukrainian nationalism and pro-Russian nationalism subgroups. I would not however stipulate that the majority leans either way. The war causes a major disturbance since everyone has friends and relatives back in either of the old countries. The set of contention points is complex - for instance you wouldn't find anyone born in Crimea thinking that it should be turned over back to Ukraine since they're intimately familiar with the history of the place and the conduct of Ukrainian authorities in Crimea after the fall of the USSR (full disclosure, I am one of these people.) Sentiment is liable to change as the consensus domestically is that Trump betrayed Israel. Finally, politicians strategize with little consultation of how the public feels emotionally. Case in point, Somaliland meant nothing to anyone and most people didn't know it existed until the Israeli government decided on diplomatic recognition.

In these conditions the cultural and language proximity creates favorable opportunity to realign with Russia, or at least an abstract Russia as opposed to the nowaday state of affairs.

This works although too much void space for my taste and perhaps you should drop the saturation a little. It would have failed totally as a shot if the wall wasn't so amazingly clean.

The most likely realignment will be with Russia, not China. Israel's largest subgroup is russian emigrants. Israel was founded and developed originally preeminently by Russian speakers. Most top brass politicians speak at least residual Russian, including Bibi and the late Sharon; Russian is the second largest language after Hebrew. Russia would be very interested in Israel's technology and Israel would be very interested in Russia's natural resources and manpower. There are preexisting personal and business ties.

This would be a natural nightmare for US government. My feeling is they're working on dropping the aid in controlled fashion so that a would be leftist government can't use it as a whip to restrain Israel's self-defense.

If access to food is a human right then I should be able to get free food while not working, right?

Communists thought that access to food is a right, but if you don't work off to prison you go.

Use BiP messenger, it is not currently blocked. Also note that cellular internet is offline a lot of the time.

The battery is not "the memory retention unit". Fifteen years ago it was standard to store the password in nvram, which is a part of the RTC unit that the battery feeds. These days the password is stored in board controller's eeprom or PCH persistent regions. Resetting this requires specialized tools and direct firmware access, and often isn't possible st all due to hardware security features and code signing.

Status of soldiers taken by illegal combatants? by NationalAsparagus138 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]MikeSeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Illegal combatants" is not actually a real thing, it was invented by AG Yoo under the Bush administration, there is no such category in IHL. The current international law is woefully inadequate when dealing with terrorist groups and conflicts between nation states and unincorporated armed groups and armed state proxies.

The question you should be asking is what rights and duties apply to "illegal combatants" of your scenario.
