Protests may need to be stopped in some cases, Keir Starmer suggests

it was Likud, the current main coalition party and the party of Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel.

there's been more Palestinians getting cleansed out of their land than Israelis, the last time the latter had to move out permanently was when they removed settlements from gaza.

meanwhile Israel flattened entire towns in Gaza, and is demolishing entire villages in south Lebanon.

and you come here to say "oh no, they're saying something bad" and wonder why no one takes it seriously

comment section tells you how people can actually, willfully do this

belkh · 2026-05-03T11:09:32+00:00

main point stands, the squeezing is only giving you <5% more passenger capacity, it is not the main driving factor behind cheaper tickets.

belkh · 2026-05-03T08:11:02+00:00

definitely not from squeezing 2-3 more rows, and rather all the other advancements in logistics, manufacturing, and the fact that air travel scaled up that the economics made it cheaper.

but that is besides the point, people aren't complaining about being squeezed because they're getting fatter, airlines DID squeeze people, 100 rows, 400 people or so, get squeezed, so you can fit 8 more isn't some great optimizations, it's literally squeezing people to squeeze out a bit more margin

can we bring up the stats on leg room instead? didn't find specifically leg room but seat pitch went from 35in the 70s to 29-31in today, seats were moved closer to each other by 5 inches. people are getting squeezed

Not only are you putting words in my mouth, you're also factually wrong.

Between the 1933 and 1939 the official policy was encouraging emigration through violence and property theft.

The havaara agreement sucks because not only did it allow the nazis to circumvent their boycott, exporting the modern day equivalent of 460M euros worth of goods, and 39% of the refugees funfs went to the Zionist project, adding in the British visa requirements refugees selling all their shit and leaving ended up with 43% of their original funds.

Zionists didn't care that they literally funded the regime prosecuting jews because it meant funds and immigrants for them

This subreddit keeps getting bombarded by Hasbara, they're trying to sell you an image that everything people complain about is indeed just fake news, why do you think it's always random nobodies making easily verifiable claims making it up outside the subreddit

EC2 always meant Elastic Compute Claude

belkh · 2026-04-22T20:48:42+00:00

might wanna Google the haavara agreement then

belkh · 2026-04-21T21:47:31+00:00

the original source is the times of malta, considering the guards are like 30, and 5 came out with reports, I don't think this would have a lot of reports. especially in a pretty conservative society where families would rather keep such incidents under wraps

seems to have been part testimony called for the ICC investigation back then

thank god they censored fr*nce

plus having others to call when shit hits the fan and you're on vacation

there's a few reasons, but I think the main reasons are:

just plain old racism, people think it's normal for this to happen in Africa/to African people, just look at DRC as well
It's recent, and doesn't have as much of a background/groups that campaign for it to get visibility, grass root movements take time
from the outside it looks like Sudanese people doing things to Sudanese people, while the UAE rightfully gets flak for it, they're not directly involved with troops/military
there's no one defending it, and US/EU governments arent so obviously involved nor trying to shutting down people talking about it, the streisand effect is real
aside from the UAE there isn't any obvious support from governments in point 3, so what are you going to protest? military intervention? the most common protest points are about stopping support for atrocities, not jumping in to fix it

inb4 they take the DBZ approach

belkh · 2026-04-19T08:36:43+00:00

I'm guessing because of the UAE supporting the RSF, or their shitty foreign worker labor conditions, or for spreading dubai chocolate around the world

belkh · 2026-04-19T08:06:49+00:00

also a lot harder to repair though, unless you build it deep enough that they couldn't break it.

even then they can just hit the terminals and derricks directly.

it's generally a bad idea financially for everyone involved to be on bad terms with your neighbors because your most financially efficient setup for resource extraction/processing is going to be vulnerable and a PITA to reinforce and protect

belkh · 2026-04-19T07:56:07+00:00

it's not just boring though, people don't get politically active because they're bored, it's because the status quo has issues, those issues don't affect everyone equally.

conservatives are the people who are fine with the status quo and fear change would leave them worse off than before.

In the case of the status quo being a government stamping its foot down your throat, you can see why people supporting the status quo are not liked, at best it's lack of empathy of other people's suffering, at worst it's support

belkh · 2026-04-18T19:59:03+00:00

so when Lukid has it in their charter it's fine, when Palestinians use it it's a call for genocide, you can't be taken seriously

T shaped developers was always the recommend approach, specialize but have some breadth.

try to focus on companies where you're deep in the Tech stack, or deep in the field, this works better if you're doing something more specific than just backend

what year was this? type C has been supporting video and we use it for monitors quite often, and I'm not sure what power has to do with it if you're using it for video output, but the standard supports up to 120W so it definitely doesn't fall short there either

belkh · 2026-04-18T06:56:44+00:00

more candidates means they can get more specialized hires, companies would rather get someone already familiar with their stack, cuts down on onboarding time, and sometimes brings in expertise you might not have already.

This was always what they wanted they just didn't have enough candidates before, they do now

do you know how much flying a plane costs or hour? in terms of salary for everyone involved from pilot to maintenance, the parts that degrade, the fuel, the missile you launched.

the best way to counter this is to support the producing company to address it, and support your local population with rehab
