Back in the early 2000s, when the web was still somewhat safe, I used to post comments on a news site using my real name … my reasoning being that if I was posting my opinion on something I should have the balls to use my rn.

Within about a year it started becoming more dangerous tho. I wasn’t stalked but the responses became more personal and degrading, and the misogynists began showing up in force.

I get why Greece would want to do this, but as of right now it would be better if they made some hard rules for Meta et al to follow - with massive fines attached for being lax.

Here’s another source that isn’t payealled.

He didn’t have the authority to do half the stuff he has. Why should this be any different?

Without hope the people perish.

The mass expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt has been an aim of Israeli governments since December 1948, when the army first tried and failed to cleanse this last remaining enclave along Palestine’s Mediterranean coast. It tried again during the 1950s and intensified its effort after the 1967 War, when Israel occupied both the Gaza Strip and the Sinai desert. Hamas’s attack on 7 October 2023 gave Israel another opportunity. Expulsion plans were trumpeted by Israeli politicians and media spokespeople. Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that he was actively seeking to transfer Palestinians out of Gaza. Israeli and some US officials started lobbying Egypt to accept large numbers of refugees. For eight months the Israeli army refrained from occupying the border area near Rafah, leaving the exit to Egypt open.

This exemplifies the circular logic of Zionist settler-colonialism: settlements are built to mark and protect the state’s border, but that makes them vulnerable to attack and so a buffer zone is established to protect them. Afterwards, this buffer zone is itself settled to mark and protect the newly expanded borders, at which point another buffer zone becomes necessary. In this manner vulnerability is produced and then mobilised in a feedback loop that the genocide scholar A. Dirk Moses has called ‘permanent security’.

I have exactly zero hope that anything will come of this.

“The United States Army is a beacon of transformation,” Driscoll said. “Imagine what we could do if we weren’t bound by the red tape!”

O.o

Riiiight.

Oh ffs already. America is one step away from imploding.

There are other reasons as well, ie: people who live with ADHD which means they may suffer from lack of impulse control, etc.

I thought the same at first, then changed my mind when I realized that the child may just want the surgery but their other US mom might be refusing it.

The article is not clear on what the child’s choice is.

No worries. :)

Ah, I get it. Thanks for responding. :)

Then there will always be other sources that aren’t paywalled and aren’t an aggregate.

Original source

Best to use the original rather than an aggregate like yapoo.

I was responding to Wudi.

Probably because most people wouldn’t know what that acronym stood for.
