You’re genuinely pathetic enough to try and imply that none of the victims are innocent?

I loathe “people” like you.

Hey @oberstoffensichtlich@feddit.org, you were saying that “these were extremely surgical strikes, people in the vicinity weren’t harmed”?

Thousands of people injured, all guilty of something ofc, because Israel would never do an attack which might harm innocents. Right? /S

He specifically mentioned “in the context of the US”.

If he had been talking about any other English-speaking country, I’d say it would be somewhat irrelevant.

But it most certainly isn’t when talking about the US, especially southern US.

Well written. To add: “Boy” coming from a white person to a black man is even more offensive, what with all the chattel slavery history and whatnot.

Dude.

As a third-party to this conversation, I have to say that the dude writing “There is often a gap between common-use language, and the academic function of words (see “racism”). This is why I emphasized the relation of the definitions I provided to the fields of anthropology and sociology, as well as why I stated it is a use almost exclusively found, in my experiences, in academia.” seems a tad more credible than the one writing “I’m not superior just because I used a dictionary to quash the logical fallacy of your call to authority.”

I seriously think you just missed the nuance he was trying to emphasise, and you started mansplaining something he already implicitly had agreed on. Now you’re going for these rather immature “logical fallacy” arguments. Just a tip for that, btw, to up your game in that aspect. Naming fallacies to implicate that the other person is wrong is actually something called “the fallacy fallacy”, ie "because their logic contains a fallacy, the conclusion must be false. That in itself is a fallacy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy

So yeah. You’re not wrong, but you’re also not right in correcting him in any way, and he’s not wrong to say that he is right.

I do believe he’s an English teacher. Just use your imagination a bit and think of how many of the things your English teacher told you didn’t seem to make sense, but when you actually dug into the material, you got an “aaa this is what he meant” - moment.

By tracking who sent what to whom?

And since tracking the devices is actually impossible, how would you know which pager is where and held by whom,

Say one of the pagers wasn’t delivered to the person who you “know” it to belong to. Say it got dropped in front of a school. Say another person who has one and even is a Hezbollah member, is visiting a children’s hospital, because they’re people too and usually have reasons to fight (even if their fighting style is immoral to some). Say another is eating dinner with his family. Etc. Etc. Etc.

There’s no way to verify any of that. It’s basically just as bad if not worse than carpet-bombing. Unless you implant a device like this on a person and then have surveillance on that person to know where they are and who with when you detonate the device, you’re probably doing a war crime.

You can’t track a pager.

A mobile tower will send it a message, but since there’s no two-way communication, theres no way to track where the pager received the message. (Even if it was a two-way one, you need at least three good points of connection to be able to triangulate it.)

So how exactly do you identify who’s using a pager you don’t even know the location of?

You obviously don’t know how tracking works.

Ditto

Yeah I think the name sort of hints at that, for anyone using their thinking muscles

Strictly speaking humanity is a part of nature.

Sometimes it’s easier to recognise than other times.

Fifty-fifty.

But my history has at least one.

One of the mods is an actual Russian troll. Davel@lemmy.ml

Pro-Russian mod who keeps pretending they’re not.

“If those kids could read…” meme would be fitting lol

Russia started the war in Ukraine. Supporting Ukraine doesn’t mean wishing genocide on Russians.

To avoid any need for Ukraine to attack with these weapons, quickly organise a revolution to take over the government and make peace with Ukraine, with proper reparations for Russian aggression ofc.

The best thing Russia can do to attempt to avoid it is to depose Putler — fast.

Youre mistaking indifference for hatred.

You’re not supposed to sit on the motor, my man.

Youre supposed to put it in a frame of some sort.

Now I definitely agree with the point you’re making, but unless you’re like 300+ kgs, 500w should be fine for personal transport.

I had one board with a 500w engine that went 63km/h with a full battery and my ~75 kg of mass on it. It didn’t have much torque, though, but it was fast. On the other hand, these rentable e-scooters we have, have like 350W engines and are limited in speed to 25kmh, but have amazing torque, even my brother can get up steep hills on those, and he’s genuinely 1.5x the man I am, size wise (at least). Hills that my 500w fast scoot didn’t manage with me on it.

So it’s not just the raw power output of the engine which matters, is my point.

Personally I think we need a framework paradigm shift. I know it would require a ton, worldwide, but just like how pedestrians got sidewalks in the early 20th century when cars took over the roads, we now need another split again. In that there should be three lanes, pedestrian, light vehicles, then actual road.

With like a small escoot and a bike you could still use pedestrian ways as well, but any faster or larger e-transports could have their own lane to use. Small e-cars as well. No power limits, but some sort of little regulation.

You watched the John Oliver episode, didn’t you?

It was absolutely horrible, just like most of my conversations with Finns who have many of the same issues. I honestly don’t know why I bother trying, but I do.
