people forget that what makes art impressive is also the skill of the artist in the respective medium

if someone creates a perfect color gradient fill in Photoshop nobody is going to be impressed but make it with colored pencils and people may regard it as stunning

the beauty is also in the effort it took to create, not only in what the result looks like - i don't need to take time to look at stuff people didn't take time to make

i have a business case to become the major player in the chip industry: buy the planet's economy

Getting ready for GTA 6 I see

Man ringt bei der Situation selbst mit geeigneten Worten um seine Gefühle dazu auszudrücken, da so viele 'Ebenen' des Konfliktes existieren die getrennt werden müssen.

Die erste Ebene: Hamas-Anhänger haben unvorstellbare Greueltaten begangen, als sich die Möglichkeit ergab. Was an Leid angerichtet wurde kann nicht what-about-ed werden.

Zweite Ebene: die Zivilbevölkerung in Gaza leidet nun unter den Gegenschlägen einer Bevölkerung die einen berechtigten Hass auf Hamas-Anhänger hegt. Der Bevölkerung muss geholfen werden, durch NGOs und politischen Druck in Richtung Iran und Israel.

Dritte Ebene: Die Regierung Netanjahus hat Hamas in Gaza geduldet und unterstützt, um die eigene Politik zu legitimieren. Konkret wurden Gelder die für Entwicklungsprojekte in Gaza gedacht waren direkt in die Hände der Hamas gegeben (anstatt sie bspw. der PLO zu geben). Über die Jahre haben mehrere Minister aus Protest dieser Unterstützung ihr Amt niedergelegt.

Vierte Ebene: Kolonialismus und zweiter Weltkrieg

Der Konflikt ist ein riesiger Clusterfuck

I know people who are left leaning democrats and they're for gun control. But gun control doesn't solve the problem entirely.

The problem is the entire culture around guns and toxic 'me and my gun and my truck' self sufficiency culture in the US and the lack of a social net.

Wikipedia is not the Achilles heel of free access to information. The Achilles heel are the sources: libraries, websites.

Consider donating to the internet archive instead or as well. If the sources are poisoned, Wikipedia just repeats bullshit. It's secondary literature.

be sure to add -no-preserve-root to make sure ultra french is gone too

A professor on mastodon fixed that by requiring sheets be orientable.

they get all content for free though, unlike netflix etc.

no, it's because the core doctrine and design (at least of the leopard 1/2) is to use them in defensive battles against larger numbers of tanks - that was the entire NATO strategy in western Europe during the cold war, when all of that hardware was designed

not for rolling into unknown territory and getting hit by entrenched infantry AT, as Turkey discovered a few years ago

You back 16 alphas and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Starfield won't call me cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
