livus@mander.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Israel phasing out use of desert detention camp after CNN investigation detailing abuses | CNNEnglish10·1 year agoThis news isn’t as good as it first appears unfortunately:
State attorney Aner Helman told the court that 700 inmates had been moved to Ofer military facility in the occupied West Bank, with another 500 set to be transferred in the weeks to come. Around 200 detainees will remain in Sde Teiman, said Helman
So, they’re not even shutting down their Abu Ghraib in Sde Teiman, but they’re moving the bulk of it to a detention camp called Ofer. Except:
Last week, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said the military launched a probe into the allegations of mistreatment at Sde Teiman, as well as at Anatot and Ofer
In other words Ofer’s already a shit show of human rights abuses as well. They’re just shuffling people around their various camps.
livus@mander.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Israelis use gardening tools to fight wildfires caused by rocketsEnglish42·1 year agoDean, a Londoner who moved to the kibbutz eight years ago
So, he’s a British guy who chose to move from England to an Israeli collective that is literally located on top of a displaced Palestinian village, right up against an actively disputed border and now he’s complaining about it?
This article reads like it was probably put together to generate support for more IDF attacks on Lebanon.
Me too, on the design, what I like about it is it wasn’t the ultra clean look futurism of the 1980s it was sort of collided with grunge.
Y2K. Let me just run this chromium look filter on my pillow embossing.
Everything will have extra fingers.
Seriously tho I think there will be a flight to intricacy.

Good to know, will keep a watch for it.
I really want to use it but always end up closing it in frustration and firing up photoshop.
livus@mander.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do I have schizophrenia or I am scammed by psychiatrist?11·1 year agoWhat country are you in and how well-regulated are psychiatrists there?
Have they told you what the medicines are? With psych meds sometimes they have to build up in your system and it can take a few weeks. But one-off injections sound a bit odd.
You should be able to look up the treatments on drugs.com or wikipedia.
Having spent ages trying to adopt it and failing like 20+ years ago it’s just crazy to me that every time I give it another chance, it still doesn’t have non destructive editing and is still a non-intuitive UI from hell. It feels like they want it to be like this.

It just screams “got into teaching for the wrong reasons”.
livus@mander.xyztoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Texas professors sue to fail students who seek abortions | Men are using abortion bans to control and abuse women in their lives for "consensual sexual intercourse"9·1 year agoI get the impression students in the US get treated sort of younger for longer, e.g their PhD students still attend classes.

livus@mander.xyzto politics @lemmy.world•In private, Biden shifts from frustration to confidence that he'll beat Trump0·1 year agoSomeone that acts confident when they shouldn’t, is colloquially known as a “conman”.
No, that’s incorrect.
A “con man” aka Confidence Trickster is a grifter who gains your confidence in order to scam you.
Having false confidence in itself does not mean someone is necessarily a swindler. It could just be that they are delusional or misinformed.

livus@mander.xyzto Out of the loop@lemmy.world•What's the deal with Isreal vs. Palestine side taking in the West?662·1 year agoOkay there are more than 2 sides.
Personally I am on the side of civilians whether they are Israeli or Palestinian or Druze or Bedouin. I am also on the side of the doctors, nurses, and humanitarian aid workers. These are who I consider the Good Guys. “Look for the helpers.” - Mr Rodgers.
But to cover your question, there’s two separate issues here:
-
the claims of the belligerents
-
feelings about what is happening now in the Israel Gaza war
The past claims of the belligerents
I’m not going to go into this, but but it goes back to history and it’s where the side-taking on the sides of the belligerents mostly comes from, because different people have different interpretations. Legally speaking Palestine is occupied by Israel (West Bank) and blockaded by Israel (Gaza). No one can get in or out, it’s effectively controlled by Israel.
What is happening now
What is happening now is a “war” between the IDF and Hamas. People like me, who are rooting for civilians are upset about:
-
proportionality (so far about 33,000 Palestinian deaths vs 1,400 Israeli deaths)
-
mortality (currently over 1.5% of the population of Gaza have been killed)
-
civilian mortality - high numbers of children being killed (according to aid agencies, one is killed or injured every 10 minutes)
-
high numbers of humanitarian workers and medical staff being killed
-
inappropriate weapon choices (hundreds of 2,000lb bombs are being dropped, for reference the US used just one in its war against Isis.
-
widespread infrastructure destruction, particularly of hospitals and other important buildings
-
mounting evidence of starvation in the civilian population due to blockade of aid
Personally I am against anyone treating a civilian population like this for any reason, and I believe it amounts to war crimes. I was against the killing of civilians in Myanmar, Rwanda, East Timor, and I am against it now.
Side note: The median age in Gaza is 18, meaning literally half the people in it are still children.
Edit: I haven’t given any sources cos lazy. I am happy to give them to OP or anyone in good faith (there are probably a bunch on the post history of my main which is livus@kbin.social). However, I do not speak sealionese.

I’m a bit out of the loop though because I prefer mobile interface.
livus@mander.xyzto politics @lemmy.world•62 percent of Biden voters want to replace both candidates on the ballot: Poll4·1 year agoJust any kbin account will do it. The info is there in ActivityPub so sooner or later there will be a client that includes it, if there isn’t yet.
(My main’s at kbin.social but we are temporarily on read-only here at lemmy.world due to our servers going haywire, so to comment here I have to use my lemmy account).
livus@mander.xyzto politics @lemmy.world•Nancy Pelosi says Israel's Netanyahu 'should resign' as prime minister over Hamas war11·1 year agoIt’s nice that you visited, but I believe people like Desmond Tutu, who actually lived through Apartheid in South Africa..
There’s a reason why South Africa are the ones with the case against Israel in the international courts. They know what this is.
In the eyes of hasbara we are all Hamas on this blessed day.
