This plus a large network of amateur and professional astronomers who would almost certainly see any kind of craft coming towards the Earth and especially into the atmosphere. It could be that aliens came back before this was common and kind of … hung around? Undetected. I don’t buy it.
They almost certainly exist. But they are not here.
There is more than enough legal reason to justify stopping sales to Israel but the rules are not applied equally: https://www.npr.org/2024/03/26/1240857410/how-do-leahy-laws-apply-to-u-s-support-for-israel
So it seems like they choose not to and I’m not sure if there’s a justification for that which isn’t fucking atrocious
I think you could just ask something like “what are some of your favourite world cuisines excluding the obvious ones?” and then explain what you mean.
Apologies though, I guess this is just because it’s not your first language, what you said makes sense it’s more the connotations of the phrase. I think someone also posted a gif making a similar joke. Probably the best straight up alternative without the connotations would be “world food/cuisine.”
North Korean! Would love to try it but I guess similar to South Korean food?
I don’t want to go through all but some of the more interesting ones:
Ethiopian - delicious stew/curry type food with this fermented flatbread stuff that almost smells a bit like beer. Way better than this makes it sound, lol
Vietnamese - if you like Chinese food you will love it. It’s somewhere between Thai and Chinese. They have an awesome beef noodle soup called pho
Jamaican - my family is partially from here so bias but jerk chicken is worth a mention alone. Very well spiced and usually super juicy chicken. Meat and rice type of stuff. But ackee and saltfish is interesting too, very salted cod mixed with this subtle flavoured fruit that looks a bit like eggs? Again better than it sounds.
Moroccan - If you’re interested in Egyptian food (I also have no idea what that would be, lol) Morrocan is probably a good recommendation. They have a dish called tajine which is a well spiced chicken stew, they cook it in a special pot I think
Mexican! - I know it’s obvious but in Europe Mexican restaurants are very basic. Tacos, burritos etc. But there are so many amazing dishes like mole (chocolate and chilli sauce, fucking delicious) that always get missed. There’s one called queso relleño (?) That is basically like a very rich Bolognese wrapped in cheese and FRIED. Probably best not to eat too often. But maybe you guys in the US get more authentic Mexican food anyway
Also, saying “ethnic foods” comes across a little odd. Makes you sound like a 50 year old white guy who’s never left his home town and isn’t so sure about all this weird food these strange brown people eat. Nothing wrong with being white or culturally insulated of course, but probably not the look you were going for. Might explain the downvotes.
Did you read the article? Among many other points:
Around 70% of all water and sanitation facilities in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged, the WASH Cluster, a United Nations-led group that coordinates humanitarian efforts for water, sanitation and hygiene, said on July 24, citing satellite analysis from the UN Satellite Centre.
And look at the headline. If there was “more than enough” generally, why would anyone do that?
The situation there is shitty, but to the blame of all the suffering on Israel alone is just plain wrong.
I didn’t do that. It’s just mainly their fault
What happens when you systematically deprive millions of people of food again? Either Israel doesn’t know the answer to this question or it’s a blatant GENOCIDAL ACT. There is literally no other option.
Since you ignored the question I can only assume the answer is yes.
Do you think this justifies depriving millions of people of clean drinking water?
No duuuude you don’t understand, they’re totally evil! We need - NEED - to be able to assassinate people on foreign soil and commit a genocide with no consequences bro. If they fight back that’s just proof of how terroristy they are. Come on bro we have to secure peace and protect democracy bro, just a few more bombs bro we swear
No guys they’re like, a SUPER important partner in the middle East. They’re just defending themselves bro. That Palestinian kid was going to become Hamas one day. Yeah but dude it’s the only democracy in the middle east! We have to support them, right?! Maybe they do some war crimes, but you have to think about how many war crimes we’re preventing in the process. Just one more assassination bro I swear this will be the last one… btw, got any money? I know I said I wouldn’t ask but there’s this hospital right…Hamas all over it. Hizbollahs too. They dress like doctors but that’s just how they trick you
Ok cool, then yeah we agree!
Next time I will say this.
DISCLAIMER: America has a two party system. In the current political climate, both parties are supportive of Israel and voting therefore offers no way to solve this issue. Trump is also worse than Harris on this issue. Not voting only helps the republicans, and if you don’t agree with their platform, the only rational electoral choice is to vote blue. While you may disagree with some policies, one has to make a pragmatic decision on election day. Voting is a chess move not a love letter. The death will continue regardless, we have no power to stop it.
Boy I sure wish American weapons weren’t being used to do a genocide. It would be nice if Harris didn’t want to keep doing that.
We can be loud about it - and we absolutely should
That… that’s what we’re doing?
but don’t make the mistake of thinking this is an issue we can solve with votes during this election cycle
Pretty sure most people understand that. Hence this whole story and the discussion. We have unfortunately learned that Harris is fine with supplying weapons that Israel will undoubtedly use to kill children, and obviously Trump would do the same with even fewer moral qualms.
I don’t like it any more than you do, but this isn’t a problem that’s about to be solved by denigrating Harris about it.
Then how do you propose people express their dissatisfaction with this particular policy? I think denigrating someone for a decision I don’t agree with is perfectly legitimate. Isn’t that what freedom of speech is for?
I’m also not saying you should be quiet about it.
You may not be but it seems other people are. The person I was responding to implied that it should be coupled with an election disclaimer. I’ve had plenty of arguments where people basically say this is “pro Trump” or Russian messaging. There is an incredibly strong implication that we should be quiet about it and fall in line.
But an understanding of, and a communication of, the nuance involved on our (American) end of the situation might help folks not knee jerk lash out at you.
Sorry but the word “nuance” here kills me. It is not complicated, and it is not nuanced. You have effectively no choice but to vote for one of two parties. One of those parties is headed by a fascist with sights on destroying American democracy. If you don’t like that you have to vote for the other party. If you don’t vote it mainly helps the worse guys. That is a lot of things but it is NOT NUANCE. It is a stupid, broken system.
It’s a non-issue electorally because neither side will make a major change to the current situation
It’s a non issue electorally (except not exactly given the large “uncommitted” vote and the risk that people will stay home and not vote) but it is a big fucking issue actually. In real life. Where we live. Shouldn’t we at least try to encourage a change of policy?
I’m sorry, I understand that you are trying to explain why people don’t like this criticism and that you agree with me broadly. It also seems you don’t think it’s bad to talk about this. But then I don’t really see what your point is? I understand how American elections work.
We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.
Why not “very high” then?
MBFC:
No, I think it’s a horrific policy.
Glad we agree. So FUCK HARRIS for continuing it.
I don’t think people need to add a “but Trump is worse” disclaimer when they say this because some people are too stupid to read up on policy before they vote. I see your point though, some people do be stupid.
But this isn’t tax policy or student loan forgiveness, it’s fucking genocide. If you don’t want to “look bad” you should just not support that.
You do realize it won’t be any different if her opponent is elected, right?
Do you think it’s a good policy? Can you name another area where it would be acceptable if the democrat policy was the same as the Trump policy?
MBFC is a fundamentally flawed credibility gatekeeper. Lemmy.World loses credibility every day this bot continues to operate.
Absolutely. It’s hilarious that people care about fact checking enough to want to rate sources but apparently extend no skepticism whatsoever to these ratings. “Let’s just ask that one dude and go with whatever he says, I’m sure it’ll be fine”
Here you go, bot:
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-new-arab
Bias Rating: LEFT-CENTER
Factual Reporting: MOSTLY FACTUAL
Country: United Kingdom
Press Freedom Rank: MOSTLY FREE

MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY
Only “mostly” factual because even though they have no failed fact checks:
We also rate them as Mostly Factual rather than High due to a lack of transparency with ownership.
Translation: we make this shit up. Wouldn’t that be an issue with credibility and not factual reporting?
As always, fuck MBFC!
They also said (different episode I think) that while they’re enjoying their lives (e.g. at a concert), knowing that Palestinians are suffering makes it better. Can you imagine being that much of an evil cunt?
