Oh, phew. I was worried my clown signal was broken. I’ll try again.

Dogs seek humans for help when they cannot solve the problem themselves. It’s one of the behavioural adaptations that distinguish them from wolves.

I can’t find the video of it, but there’s an experiment where a chunk of meat has a long piece of rope tied to it and placed in the centre of a cage so that only the end of the rope is accessible. Both both domesticated wolves and dogs are smart enough to start pulling on the reachable end of rope to get the meat to the cage edge.

Same experiment is repeated but this time the rope is nailed to the floor so that pulling on it will not work as last time. A wolf will eventually give up trying and ignore the cage. A dog will try every way it can think of and then seek out a human for help when all the attempts fail.

The behaviour of the dog in this article is more common than you think. What is impressive is that the human didn’t get in the way and actually figured it out.

Psssh, git outta here wit yer high falootin logic!

What?!! I can’t hear you. Just think of all the lives we’ll save with this waste heat the next time a winter storm overwhelms the power grid!

No, the fact they refer to their casualties as ‘martyrs’ does. You can stop with the copypasta. We both know you know what is really going on.

So wrong you still know it is the issue without me saying anything. Nice try though.

You’re avoiding the question. Assume it is possible.

Dirty is how this would have played out had the strike occurred at any other time. Congress would have legislated back to work orders and that’s assuming POTUS couldn’t just use an executive order to do it.

Striking now meant honest negotiations instead of BS federal interference.

No, it’s not. Let’s imagine a future world where to settle the conflict Israel agrees to withdraw to the green line, endorse a fully UN recognized and supported independent Palestinian nation, pay reparations to Palestine, aid in its rebuilding if permitted, and sign a 100 year peace treaty with all adjacent nations. Accepting this hypothetical, would Israel be safe? Why or why not?

at least the latter group can be reduced by societal support

OMG Socialist! (Hisses and holds up crossed fingers to ward off the decent human being)

fight back for their own humanity and human rights

If only that was what they were fighting for.

When peaceful resistance is made impossible, violent revolution is inevitable

Hasn’t been made impossible, just costly. Still less costly than resorting to terrorism. What is the body count now? More or less than projected when Hamas was deciding to 10/7? Any closer to victory? Let me know when reality sinks in.

“We understand that some Muslim voters, any voter, may feel a moral dilemma voting for [Harris]. I do. My family does,” said Wa’el Alzayat, the CEO of Emgage Action. “But a vote for a third-party candidate is the road to victory for Donald Trump.”

Oof. This one hurt.

So as you can see from that recent diatribe, there is no rational debate, no reasoning, or even the faintest hint of willingness to be civil. There is just what you allow to pollute the site. Hamas got banned from Twitter and now rots Lemmy. It is up to you whether to allow it to continue, but do not make the mistake of thinking that attitude is a one-off, or won’t constantly try to get its digs in every chance it can if you do.

Another article with less Paywall BS

I don’t think she’s an idiot. These seems like a very intelligent way for her to take an easy route of getting ahead through support from Republicans at the cost of her integrity, credibility, and dignity.

You said it, not me, but continuing to propagate violence only makes your solution the only viable one. Food for thought.

I think they take anyone at this point.

If only there were peaceful ways to get help that would almost have certainly garnered a lot more sympathy than resorting to terrorism…
