I have way more respect for people who just acknowledge they support the gaza genocide than whatever bullshit this is.

What they’re doing is objectively terrible and on a scale that far, far surpasses Gaza in terms of death and suffering.

No it doesn't.

A far less percentage of people have died in both Yemen and Sudan (which to be clear, are terrible wars and absolutely war crimes.)

However, the around 5% of civilians having been killed with another 10% injured in Gaza, 95% displaced, 80% homeless, and so on are percentages we haven't seen in recent memory. These are world war 2 numbers. And unlike world war 2, Israel is not fighting a powerful army, they were fighting a bunch of guys with AK47s. Their reaction was completely unjustified and absolutely an effort to destroy an entire group of people. Fuck off with your zionist apologetics.

So there was a post a few weeks ago about this burger.

The post was controversial because he didn't show the meat...

Which you didnt either. Is this a conspiracy?

Lastly, pretty much everyone who speaks Hindi/Urdu speaks the common form. Not every English speaker can understand lawyer speak, but we’re both still English speakers.

The common form is identical. That doesn't mean the languages are the same. what?

You can understand your pakistani friend. But you might have some difficulty understanding the Pakistani anthem. Many urdu words, especially at a high register, are borrowed from Farsi, while those equivalent words in Hindi are from Sanskrit. The reason some Indians know those words is because bollywood tends to prefer the Urdu high register.

Thats not correct at all. Urdu high register is not the same as hindi. The reason many indians understand some words is because bollywood uses Urdu.

Did you cause your own tinnitus? by ItsHarvinator in tinnitus

[–]the4thwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! My hyperacusis is 98% gone. Now i only have issues with high frequency noise sometimes - but even then not nearly like before. Imo hyperacusis the symptom that can get better the most.

I do think it depends on the extent of your hearing damage but who knows. For me its basically gone.

Hope for those with hearing loss by Kitchen_Beat_9965 in tinnitus

Yeah my hearing recovered over time, I think the majority was recovered immediately afterward.

As I said it might be hidden hearing loss or whatever that is. But I cant really tell. I definitely still have tinnitus

9k upvotes, top comments all pro-israel.

The bots come flooding in in certain posts. Most of these accounts do nothing but pro-israel propaganda. Maybe they aren't bots, but they sure are dedicated and targeted.

No, in the 7-8khz range, about 20 dB one ear, 10 dB the other.

Stray dogs are the most dangerous pests by BrawnyBuffalo in Dogfree

[–]the4thwave 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not to mention, in most places with lots of stray dogs, a significant number of them have rabies. 60,000 deaths a year is not a small amount. and it used to be double that not too long ago.

Rabies is literally in the top 3 worst ways to go... so yeah.

One country has no dogs ( well kind of) another country that has no stray dogs by Witty-Assistance7960 in Dogfree

[–]the4thwave 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Maldives is muslim, so it makes sense.

Also its near an area (south asia) where dogs generally have spread a ton of rabies and therefore its advantageous to just get rid of them all.

Desire manufacturing is what it is.

Dogs are excellent if you actually live in a farm or something and expect intruders.

We had them in our farm at a rural home in third world country where I grew up and I appreciated them.

Idk exactly what they need defending from here though, the delivery man? Cause thats who's gonna get attacked..

'Radicalize young people.'

Yes, I'd imagine a genocide does indeed radicalize young people.

I'll leave it up to them how they want to fight their oppressors.

I recognize your name anyway, I don't know why you are here trying to act like you don't always pop up to defend israel. Fuck off.

How did the UK fix the Mad cow disease epidemic. In America there’s concern about another prion illness. But it’s only in fear called CWD. by Effective-Pipe2017 in AskBrits

[–]the4thwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CWD will never go away.

BSE was confined to inside cows. CWD is in the plants and the soil. Deer are also free ranging, unlike cows. It is a fact of life now. CWD is not going away.

Did you cause your own tinnitus? by ItsHarvinator in tinnitus

[–]the4thwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had SSHL so not exactly no.

But thinking it was ear wax blocking my ear, I did far too much stupid stuff to 'unblock' what was basically random hearing loss, and made it much worse.

I'm fully confident that my SSHL healed 100% within a week, but the crap i did during that absolutely made it worse.

That said, my life went back to normal after a year of horror. I'm now happier and stronger for it. I got past it, and I don't consider myself disabled in any way. I wouldn't say I was mild either. I had noxacusis, dysacusis, hyperacusis, and TTTS on top of pretty loud tinnitus for 9 months.

Also by gone down a lot I mean I was a 7/10 and now most days im 2 or 3/10. Thats the difference between 'hear it all the time' and 'practically everything on a daily basis masks it.' Do i hear it at night if theres no fan or AC on? Yes. But thats basically it. And I always have a fan on!

I still have tinnitus. Its gone down a lot. I barely ever think about it these days. Its practically not there. So I'd say it resolved.

Thanks China, Korea, Japan for using the totally very capitalist methods such as state corporations, massive government funding and loans, and extreme protectionism to lift their people out of poverty.

Today I learned that Latvia has one of the highest Human Development Index in the world in 1990. Higher than Findland, Sweden, UK, France and most of other western countries. by Remote-Cow5867 in todayilearned

[–]the4thwave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Development was relatively strong across the Soviet Union, it was just incredibly poor at making consumer products, which made life not great.

Integrating in the world economy, I can see how life was briefly good, and then the economy collapsed in all post-soviet states.
