hbomberguy uploaded another video?

There are other contributors (szsz has submitted a PR this week, for example), but its all reviewed by ernest AFAIK.

I prefer to think of it as a feature and would prefer if it didn’t get fixed.

Glad to hear the tables are remarkable, but how are we supposed to find them if we don’t know what they’re called? /j

Most of the time, it feels like people are just saying “yall are just mad cause I’m right” but using different words because its often obvious why: an unpopular opinion or believed to be objectively false. These comments already have plenty of replies explaining why their comment is bad in some way. The only cases where there should be confusion about why is is if you are posting in a community that gets the same comments all the time and so its spam and you don’t know it, or you said something that is being misinterpreted but for whatever reason you are unable to tell why and you haven’t gotten any replies already (but for some reason are paying close attention to your internet points).

One of the most common I downvote comments is including things like “Edit: why all the downvotes?” in topics that aren’t about the voting system (instinctually downvoted this topic, but un-downvoted), . But also just downvote things things are spammy, *phobic, defending genocides, etc.

They want everyone to be cis, so obviously everyone else wants people to be in their groups too!

I’ve never seen the image before, but the “threat of violence” was obviously a joke comment like the rallying call to “elect Biden so we can force feminize the cissy men.” In case you didn’t know, that’s also a joke. Its very different from threats to take a vehicle (whether a truck or a steamroller) to a pride event and use it on people, for example.

If you can’t understand context or jokes, maybe don’t make inflammatory remarks about an entire group of people based on one person’s comment with confidence without at least asking first. Nothing wrong with taking things too literally, but weaponizing your lack of understanding isn’t the answer. Of course a lot of people do make veiled threats (in minecraft) when they actually are encouraging violence, so we should be careful about language and surely there’s cases in the middle where it could go either way, in which case calling out the language without insinuating it was intentional or representative of a larger group could be appropriate unless there’s a clear pattern…

Destroy people’s homes, utilities, food, etc, then pulling out and saying “not my problem” while people die from lack of basic necessities and medical care as a result of Israel’s destruction and Israel does a pikashocked face while continuing to do whatever they can to limit aid getting in still seems pretty bad. Like, better than stealing the Territory…

So you didn’t even bother looking at the sources for the claim you make fun of?

Given members of the IDF have supported the idea that it was an intentional attract to get Hamas hiding in the hospital from the moment it happened, why don’t you believe the IDF members and Hamas when they agree that it was an Israeli attack? I don’t even believe it was an Israeli attack* and this incident just further demonstrates the IDF members and Israeli officials will just make up stuff to bolster their side even when they have no actual information. There’s no reason to believe either side imo.

*The worst case is Israel defended themselves against a missile and the payload from the middle happened to fall on a hospital because a terrorist group was too incompetent to make sure that a hospital wasn’t directly under the trajectory. I don’t think someone having an incoming missile has any obligation to first check what happens to be under the missile at the time before destroying said missile, so it’s still doesn’t make Israel look bad imo like some people are claiming.

So random rumors spread by soldiers should be treated as truth (because its pro-team Israel ) but reporting on what the ministry of health of gaza, officials in israel, and random israel soldiers all confirm is spreading baseless lies (because it is anti-team Israel)?

No denying AJ doesn’t spread propaganda. But if Israel wants to stop propganda, maybe they should start by getting rid of their officials and soldiers, who are spreading the rumors in the first place?

Ahh, that explains why the upvote to downvote ratios are always so large. They pull all upvotes, but only kbin downvotes. Interesting choice.

I’ve seen a thread where someone suggested building a canal through the whole region and a replying saying to glass the whole region. Granted, they wanted both sides wiped out, because somehow a group of people within each region committing violence justifies nuking the entire region?

Not exactly common sentiments either: out of 100s of comments, those are the only two I’ve seen along those lines. No clue where they were and I’d they may have been removed by mods, making them harder to find (but mod logs do exist), so unfortunately I can’t link to them.

Was it? Or is this the babies that were burned to death news? Neither is good, but technically the later still isn’t evidence of the former nor does it prove intent (beheading 40 babies is pretty hard to do accidentally, and uncontrolled fire burning two babies can very much be an accident).

Either way, Hamas did kill civilians, including babies (pretty sure there was one that was shot in addition to the two burned), which is terrible and in no way should they be given any sort of pass just because Israel has previously committed acts of violence. But its still fair to call out fabricated news meant to push for mass killings of civilians, including children and babies.

I see 6 upvotes and 0 downvotes on the original comment and 3 up and 1 downvote (me) on this comment. I downvoted comments talking about votes. Guessing kbin just doesn’t count votes from defederated instances, so its probably all downvotes from the same problematic instance…

Pretty sure sarcasm, but unfortunately I feel like this comment could easily be made seriously.

Then are you suggesting I should be compelled to consume your products or media to avoid punishing you for your bad opinion?

Stop taking away the freedom of speech of those who believe “freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences” by punishing them with your disagreement!

If they were advocating, hypothetically, for the wiping out of Gaza, I’d have no problem with them being blacklist. I certainly wouldn’t knowingly hire someone openly arguing for genocide to unclog my sink, much less for some corporate job.

I don’t see what free speech has to do with that. Freedom of speech and association are a thing for all parties.

Companies who blacklist people for signing that letter should be named and shamed/boycotted.

Who did? I was responding to someone who brought up that issue, so my response was related to their point and my comment was mostly intended to focused on how the lack of certain resources could negatively impact those who are dependent on those things.

Otoh, the the difference in travel modalities makes a big difference in what problems there are and my comparison to hurricane evacuations obviously lacked in that respect. It’s only natural someone would point out that limitation of my comparison.

I’d say it’s more of a g8ish centrism. I don’t care about French news in particular. But their protests get a lot of world new attention. I doubt equivalent protests in a place like Hungary would get similar attention, but it would if it were Japan.
