They wanted it to go one way and it doesn’t. And to them, that means “it’s ruined”. They need to realize if it’s not “their” event, then yeah, they shouldn’t get to decide how it should go, even if it’s not to their liking.

now whats happening with her? I know she's trying to bring back her leftist base after she burned that bridge for biden. is this related to that?

Lots of good answers in the thread.

I just came across this on my fyp! Not Amerikan so don’t need to dl RedNote but I just might cuz a) my country might just ban TikTok too, were the biggest us simps there are, b) who knows what’ll happen to my TikTok w/o all the Amerikans, and c) it does look fun lol.

I do want there to be like genuinely magnitudes more people to transfer tho. Like, if the ban fucking goes through, let there be 50-100 million people on RedNote and not a single fucking person on IG or yt or whatever. Fuck them.

im not amerikan but i know my cucked ass country will follow suit soon enough. goddamn i hate living in the western world. xi pls save us.

It’s the only site where I actually post or comment. Everywhere else I just lurk/exist cuz this place is too small

Tell me your Canadian without telling me your Canadian.

Honestly? I’ve only lived in countries with Celsius and Celsius is how I feel. I know exactly how hot or cold a day is gonna be if I look up the temperature. Thats how I know what clothes to wear!!! But Fahrenheit confuses the shit out of me. Every time I visit the US, I always convert the temp back to Celsius when someone tells me the temp.

I know Fahrenheit has more degrees and that can give you more datapoints. But cmon. The temp only goes up to, like, 50 C anyways lol. How many degrees do you need 🤣. Can you really differentiate between 61 and 62 F? Now, 60 to 65 F might be believable, but that’s like 15 to 18 C so, that much difference is shown even in Celsius.

I’m not saying Celsius is better, or that Americans should convert to it. Actually, if I was God-Emperor, I’d force us all to use Kelvin,, given it begins with Absolute Zero and I’m a sucker for shit like that.

But variety is the spice of life. For Americans, Fahrenheit is how they feel. For most of the rest of us, it’s Celsius.

Well, I got into them when I was younger. My school required a MacBook and when I started using one, I found it way cooler than my clunky Windows laptop. Part of that was probably the price, but it was also the OS. It was really smooth - and I freaking fell in love with the touchpad gestures. Then I got an iPhone, an iPad etc.

Overtime, I moved away from an Apple only ecosystem. Now I use Linux on an XPS. I also use a Galaxy Tab instead - iPad, while powerful, is really hampered by its OS. Galaxy Tab is far more powerful and capable of being an actual laptop replacement, at least for me.

But I still use an iPhone. I find it a lot easier to deal with than Android. I tried the latter in the past, btw. But I don't need customization on my phone, unlike with my laptop or tablet. So, for my headphones, I got the AirPods. The connection between the iPhone and AirPods is really good.

Will my next phone be an iPhone. I dunno. There are some really interesting Android phones out there, and the platform seems more mature now with many companies offering a simple UI that doesn't do too much - I still keep up with it all. I liked the OnePlus Fold that came out recently, for example.

I'll admit, I'm not your average Apple user. I made a very deliberate choice to not be tied down to Apple. I've taken conscious actions to have different OSes and software on different devices and not be locked down by any one company. I use FOSS wherever I can, and moved away from all the default apps pushed by Apple, Samsung etc. long ago. It's also why I won't get a Galaxy phone - I already have the tablet. The only concession I allowed was the AirPods.

But I can tell you another example. Over the years, my father has needed new products. And every time I've gotten him Apple products. Now, he has an all Apple setup. MacBook, iPad, iPhone, AirPods. Why? Because I've seen him use Windows laptops and Android phones in the past. I know just how many problems he's had with them - and how much I had to help him with them. Now that he has an all Apple set up, everything is dead simple for him. People underestimate this.

Hope this helps answer your questions.

Lol

Here is the direct UN report - https://news.un.org/en/sites/news.un.org.en/files/atoms/files/Mission_report_of_SRSG_SVC_to_Israel-oWB_29Jan_14_feb_2024.pdf

Here's it's conclusion (edited for clarity):

October 7 and Hostages: Conflict-related sexual violence (genital mutilation, sexualized torture, or cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment) occurred at several locations across the Gaza periphery, including in the form of rape and gang rape, during the 7 October 2023 attacks. Clear and convincing information that some hostages taken to Gaza subjected to various forms of conflict-related sexual violence (as described above) and reasonable grounds to believe that such violence is ongoing, including against women and children. Unable to establish the prevalence of sexual violence and concludes that the overall magnitude, scope, and specific attribution of these violations would require a fully-fledged investigation.

Occupied Palestinian Territory (i.e., conducted by Israel and settlers): They did not visit Gaza. Cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, including various forms of sexual violence towards detainees (39% of whom are held without trial). Invasive body searches including unwanted touching of intimate areas, including genitial areas, and forced unveiling of women wearing Hijab; beatings; threats of rape against women and threats of rape against female family members (wives, sisters, daughters) in the case of men; and inappropriate strip search and prolonged forced nudity of detainees, including during interrogation and during transfer to other detention facilities. Taking and circulating pictures of women detainees on personal phones of soldiers and investigators and depriving women of menstruation products. Sexual harassment and threats of rape, during house raids – including at night – and at checkpoints. Intimidation, including threats of rape, if conditions of detention were reported or publicly disclosed after liberation.
