Palestinians in Gaza say finding clean drinking water is like “prospecting for gold”
  • None of what I'm saying disputes that. I hope Israel will be held accountable for all the crimes they've commited. I don't agree with how, but I agree with why they're doing it. What do you imagine they're even supposed to do? On top of the IDF's disregard, they're commonly used as human shields aswell.

  • I was replying to Count042@lemmy.ml

    The murder of civilians by intentionally withholding food and water, and blockading all entrances to the area is explicitly a war crime.

    I'm not disputing what they're saying. I just get the feeling, that people tend to be quite one-sided when it comes to this issue. I'm not actually even quite sure why I replied to this user in particular, as the message itself I mostly agree with.

  • Sure people can criticize Hamas, but they’ve done considerably less damage in this conflict.

    But is that because they're being much more considerate and careful around civilians than the IDF or is it simply just lack of resources? Imagine if the roles were reversed.

  • There's a ton I condemn Israel for. If this is true then I'll just add it to the list. Believe it or not, I condemn the murder of civilians period. It doesn't matter whose doing it. Plenty of religious extremism and disregard for others going on on both sides. That's why I'm not rooting for one or the another.

    Residents of the kibbutz said that Hamas fighters told them not to be afraid as they were there to fight the IDF, and they state they were not harmed by Hamas.

  • Palestinians in Gaza say finding clean drinking water is like “prospecting for gold”
  • I condemn Israel for the civilians they're killing in Gaza. I do not approve and I hope they will face the consequences for it.

    Do you condemn Hamas for murdering the 250 innocent people at the peace rave? Are you able to critizice both sides or do you just turn a blind eye to the other?

    PSA: Reddit is Forcing Users to Accept Personalized Ads
  • I don't think my adblocker cares what kind of ads they're trying to show me. If anything their algorithms will just get confused for why this guy who used to be here hours every day now only comes to watch war videos once a day but no longer comments or upvotes anything.

  • Tällaisia sähkön hintoja ensi talveksi nyt ennustetaan
  • Eiköhän sitä itsekkin pörssisähköllä mennä. Pieni talo onneksi, niin lämmityskustannukset ei tähtitieteelliset tule olemaan jokatapauksessa. Täytyy varmaan laittaa varaajaan kellokytkin ja tutustua saisiko vessan lattialämmitystä ja ilmalämpöpumppua jotenkin ajastettua.

  • Oh no youtube
  • While I basically agree with what you're saying, I'd also like to point out that the money they get from you watching ads is miniscule. I don't remember which YouTuber it was, maybe Matthias Wandell, who said that if you donate just one dollar, that's more than they're ever going to profit from you watching ads.

  • Oil prices have risen. That's making gas more expensive for US drivers and helping Russia's war
  • The only times I see people like me, who prefer owning a car "shouting down" people adcovating for better public transport, is when people suggest I should get rid of my car and ride a bus instead. A good public transportation system is a net-good for everyone, and in no way inconveniences me especially if I never even use it. It's not busses and trains I have an issue with - it's the naive city dwellers who thinks that because they get around just fine without a car then anyone would.

    How do you relax or have fun in the post-apocalyptic world?

    I mean, you aren't trying to survive for the sake of survival itself, right?

    What do you do for recreation? To decompress or just to get your mind off the everyday struggle? Board games? Perhaps you've figured out a way to watch movies or listen to music? Is getting drunk or high too much of a risk?

    Vuorokausiajastin lämminvesivaraajaan

    Voiko tuollaisen perus 5€ vuorokausiajastimen pistää lämminvesivaraajan töpseliin, että voisi vähän enempi hyötyä halvemmasta yösähköstä? 2KW näyttäisi olevan varaajassa tehoa ja Opalin ajastin tuotetietojen mukaan kestää 3.5KW. Kyseessä on siis aivan tuollainen töpseli seinään varaaja missä ei ole kuin lämpötilansäätönuppi.

    Mitenköhän pitkään tuollaisen 100 litran varaajan ylipäätään edes tarvitsee olla päällä vuorokaudessa? Kahden hengen käytössä ei ole vielä ainakaan koskaan loppunut kesken.

    Jostain tässä on pakko koittaa säästää kun tuntuu inflaatio kumoavan kaikki jo käytetyt konstit..

    What does the fear of being judged by others hold you back from doing that you would otherwise do?

    To be fair I still do these things but only when I'm alone.

    Personally I love finding big puddles and then dig drains with a stick or my heel and watch the water flow.

    Also love to throw a piece of wood into water and then toss stones high up in the air and try hit it imagining it's a warship I'm trying to bomb.

    Then also without going into details there are some pieces of clothing I would like to wear but don't because they're considered femine or gay.

    Have you ever been under general anesthesia? What was it like? Did anything strange happen?

    As a compliment to the thread about near death experiences I'd really like hearing people's experiences of losing consciousness under general anesthesia and what's it like coming back.

    Also interested of things anesthetists may have noticed about this during their career.

    Besides death of loved ones and the scarcity of food - what do you think would be most challenging to you about living in a post apocalyptic world?

    I think that living in a constant fear or being attacked is something many people don't think about. As someone who regularly spends time alone in the woods at night I know how your minds start playing tricks on you and it can get quite intense and scary even though you know it's just animals out there. Just imagine trying to sleep in a abandoned house and then hearing a zombie walk outside. Even if you made sure that location is as safe as it can be that's still going to be terrifying as hell.

    Put some new shine on my +10 year old Haix Airpower P3 hiking boots.

    I use these alteast 3 times a week while mountain biking. Fits my foot like a glove and still holds water. Hands down the best shoes I've ever had.

    One thing to note though is that these are not for winter use. The rubber gets hard in cold weather and has zero grip on ice and I truly mean zero. Ask me how I know lol

    It's been 3 years since the start of the outbreak and somehow you're still alive. What are the key reasons for this?

    I guess I'll go first:

    • I stayed home for the first few weeks and waited out the worst chaos
    • I was prepaired enough that I could stay at home
    • I own a 4x4 truck and had several spare canisters of fuel which enabled me to bug out eventually with all my gear and no need to stop looking for fuel
    • I stayed away from malls, supermarkets, gas stations and other hotspots
    • Every time I encountered a zombie I ran away instead of fighting it

    Could you resist a true virtual reality and should you?

    Lets assume we develop the capacity to create virtual worlds that are near indistinguishable from the real world. We hook you up into a machine and you now find yourself in what effectively is a paraller reality where you get to be the king of your own universe (if you so desire). Nothing is off limits - everything you've ever dreamt of is possible. You can be the only person there, you can populate it with unconscious AI that appears consciouss or you can have other people visit your world and you can visit theirs aswell as spend time in "public worlds" with millions of other real people.

    Would you try it and do you think you'd prefer it over real world? Do you see it as a negative from individual perspective if significant part of the population basically spend their entire lives there?

    How are you planning to keep yourself fed during the first few months after the outbreak?

    Personally I've got enough food stored at home to survive the initial phase but if not I'd probably rather try to raid abandoned private homes instead of heading to the closest grocery store. I believe it's wise to avoid hotspots like that especially in the beginning.

    What would be the safest places to sleep in during the apocalypse?

    I'd feel the safest somewhere off the ground. Second floor of a building with the stairs blocked/destroyed or perhaps in a hammock high up in a tree. I don't think I could fall asleep knowing they could just sneak up on and grab me

    In your opinion what is the SECOND best melee weapon for a zombie apocalypse?

    I'm a bit torn between a splitting axe and a mace/morning star of some sort.

    An axe offers better penetration and is useful for other tasks aswell but perhaps posseses greater risk of getting stuck. A mace is not as versatile but is highly effecive when making direct contact with the skull and is unlikely to get stuck. A mace is also easier to improvise and customize for individual preferences.

    My feed is currently being flooded with r/place spam that I could easily hide with a content filter like I did on reddit. Would be really nice to get this feature on the blocked-page.

    For how much longer do you think this tire is going to hold? (satire)

    This indeed is my bike and it's been like that all summer but I'm not actually concerned that it's going to catastrophically fail on me though it might. Already have a new set of tires but I'll try to save them for winter to save the new grippy tread pattern.

    The extreme wear is most likely caused by running these at 4 - 5psi while it's way freezing outside.

    What does defederating actually do?

    Now with all the discussion going on about Facebook joining the fediverse and what to do about it many people seem to be advocating for defederating with them thinking that they're going to grab all your data and this is the only way to stop them.

    I'm not especially educated on the subject but my understanding is that this is not at all what defederating does and also I don't think that's going to stop them from getting the little data that's here publicly available for anyone anyways.

    I'm trying to get my head around the entire concept of the fediverse but it seems like there's very few people who actually understand how it works and these people seem entirely absent in these popular threads I'm reading.
