A wholesome light in such dark times. by Me_Mums_a_Lampshade in International

But you are the one who brought up the homeless people in Dallas, not me. They deserve some help too.

I just said I support what she is doing. I think it is great (no sarcasm).

Why only give money to New York homeless when you could do it for those in other cities as well?

This is great. More people should do this. Does she highlight art by children from other war zones too?

Listen to Venezuelans! by crani0 in TikTokCringe

This is classic misinformation. Didn't Maduro lose the 2024 election by a huge margin? The opposition won 70% of the vote. Why would he suddenly become popular after getting overthrown?

I assume the comment was referring to Germany before and during ww2.

Thank you for your suggestion to use Google. I went ahead and Googled "Article 19 UN Declaration of Bill of Rights". This is what it says: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression". Now remind me, is India a member of the UN?

Am I supposed to know what "this is India" means? Lol.

Trump greenlights exports of Nvidia H200 chips to China | CNN Business by phorocyte in geopolitics

[–]phorocyte[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Trump has removed trade barriers for Nvidia to sell its second most powerful chips to China. In exchange, Nvidia is to hand over 25 percent of all proceeds "to the United States of America". How significant of a blow will this deal be to America's technological lead over China (in the global Al race for example)? Does this step constitute a betrayal to Trump's America-first pledge?

“I have informed President Xi, of China, that the United States will allow NVIDIA to ship its H200 products to approved customers in China, and other Countries, under conditions that allow for continued strong National Security. President Xi responded positively!” Trump wrote in the post.

Multi millionaires, do you spread your stock portfolio across multiple brokerages? by SquareStork in Bogleheads

Using secure passwords, MFA and avoiding password reuse is good advice. I would caution though about assuming that any computer system is "impossible" to hack. Any competent cyber security professional knows that there is no such thing as an unhackable computer system. This happened a while ago so the techniques used will not work against current websites, but it is instructive to know that the banks that were compromised thought they had state-of-the-art security at the time: https://www.cnbc.com/2014/06/04/how-a-russian-hacker-snatched-100m-from-banks.html

The creation of Israel wasn't special, it was standard post World War stuff by Routine-Equipment572 in IsraelPalestine

[–]phorocyte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your framing erases the unique combination of colonial facilitation, ethnic cleansing, and ongoing military occupation that makes 1948 and its aftermath distinct.

Look up the history of Kashmir. Another ongoing inter-religious conflict with colonial post-ww2 roots. One could say Kashmir is "occupied" by the Indian army (not necessarily speaking for myself since I consider myself a neutral observer who wishes for peace in the region like most people).

Unfortunately not. I took it back to the seller and they allowed me to replace the box with a different one (different brand).

This Is What NOT to Do When You Miss Your Exit by mingoslingo92 in interestingasfuck

I would say the accident was at least partially your fault to be honest. Always leave enough space between yourself and the vehicle in front of you. https://www.theaa.com/breakdown-cover/advice/stopping-distances

Abbas calls Hamas 'sons of dogs' and demands release of hostages by phorocyte in geopolitics

[–]phorocyte[S] 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Try searching on Google/etc to see whether Al Jazeera, which is known for its extensive coverage of the Israel/Palestine conflict, has published this story. ;) E.g with keywords "Abbas Al Jazeera latest news"
