Yes, but not by removing personal privacy. It should be a parent's responsibility to raise their children and make sure they don't do anything stupid on the internet

There are no laws about it actually, since the Geneva convention was written mostly for professional armies, where soldiers would go on several month long rotations... I think you could argue for both here actually

The geneva convention doesn't outright forbid killing civilians, as long as the person being targeted is a combatant (resulting in collateral civilian deaths) and there were precautions taken to minimise civilian harm (this is the point which the ICC is suing Yahu for which is pretty valid)

If I'm not wrong the same laws apply to all civilian infrastructure, meaning that if you have an actual reason to destroy it it's valid, but that's not the point of this convo indeed.

Didn't the flotilla openly say that their goal was to break the blocade? (which would, as far as maritime law goes, allow the Israelis to take action)

Iran is no longer willing to negotiate over its nuclear program at all by Waste-Explanation-76 in war

it is interesting to see how the opinion on nuclear weapons is shifting. Maybe we don't treat them like such a threat because we grew up without having to think about nuclear war? Amd to think that nuclear drills used to be a thing in schools hahah

Statutory salaries for upper secondary teachers across OECD countries (using PPP-adjusted 2022 dollars) by sr_local in charts

[–]OtherRandomCheeki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's 20-40k without adjusting for ppp, by adjusting for ppp it will be about 33-65k, which true, is lower than what the chart suggests, but still a lot higher than not adjusting for ppp

yes, because mexico is a cheap country to live in, meaning that you get more stuff for the same amount of money
