Israeli campaign against ICC may be ‘crimes against justice’, say legal experts (www.theguardian.com)

Efforts by Israel’s intelligence agencies to undermine and influence the international criminal court (ICC) could amount to “offences against the administration of justice” and should be investigated by its chief prosecutor, legal experts have said....

Jimmyeatsausage,

Sometimes, it’s the crime ,and* the cover-up

Jimmyeatsausage,

Because, through science, we are constantly improving our understanding of the world, including our bodies. Sometimes, that means things we used to think were safe or acceptable no longer are. We used to shit in buckets and throw it out the window in the morning right next to where the butcher was carving up a carcass on the street. We used to have parties when a kid got sick, so all the kids in the neighborhood got sick at the same time. Recently, we learned more about the impact of the compounds released and their concentrations when we burn natural gas in a confined area.

My understanding is that, while we knew about the compounds released by gas stoves, we either didn’t know how high the concentrations were or didn’t know enough about the dangers those concentrations could present. Of course, the reactionaries blow it out of proportion and a statement like “Gas stoves might not be safe without adequate ventilation” becomes “THEY’RE GONNA TAKE YOUR STOVE BY FORCE” just like how “cattle produce a lot more greenhouse gases than we thought” became “THEY’RE MAKING BURGERS ILLEGAL!”

Jimmyeatsausage,

Can’t leave until we fix this one. Quantum Leap rules.

Jimmyeatsausage,

I would shame watch that

Jimmyeatsausage,

I just tell myself they’re all hiding a foot fetish under a thin patina of racism as it’s more socially acceptable there to be racist than kinky.

196 Stands with Palestine, but those of you in the US should still vote in the general election.

I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can’t believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C’mon guys

Jimmyeatsausage,

Unfortunately, lots of folks here on lemmy seem antithetical to the idea that slow or minor progress still counts as progress. Maybe it’s a communication issue inherent to this format, but the crux of the argument I see most often is “Biden did genocide, genocide is bad. Therefore, any support for Biden is support for genocide outright.”

It seems like an inability or unwillingness to recognize degrees of tragedy…it’s the worst case of letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. I hope I’m wrong, but I’m getting pretty damn nervous about the number of folks saying outright that they won’t ever vote for Biden because they don’t accept the premise that, as long as we still have FPTP elections and the electoral college, voting anyone other than the mainstream Dem candidate makes a Republican victory more likely, regardless of the candidates either party puts forward. I know that at least some of these folks are just trolls, but we’re on a razor-thin margin, and in a scenario where 100k votes across a handful of states will likely decide the contest, I worry about even a single person being talked out of participating meaningfully in the election.

It’s exasperated by the fact that, for a lot of young voters, every election they’ve been old enough to participate in has been a boring old white person vs a wannabe dictator and so they’ve started feeling like “it’s the most important election ever” is just a scare tactic to make them vote blue.

Jimmyeatsausage,

There’s a pretty big gap “making it on the news to raise awareness for your cause” and “mastabatory shitposting on social media”

dude isn’t sneaking video evidence of wrongdoing out of a factory farm… just photoshopping bad dentures on sharks.

I agree that any movement needs both friendly and provocative advocacy to affect change, but the only thing these types of posts accomplish is helping OP feel superior.

Jimmyeatsausage,

That’s…not what gills are for.

Jimmyeatsausage,

I’m not smart enough regarding macroeconomics to know the right answer, but I feel like there has to be a solution that makes home ownership affordable for new entrants into the market without causing the value of existing homes to tank so hard and fast that we end up with a 2008-style crash again. I’m pretty confident that getting large-scale corporate investment out of the picture is part of the solution, and I don’t care if the method involved there hurts the corpos pretty bad. Maybe an oppressive rent-control scheme that makes keeping the properties untenable for corporate owners, forcing them to want to sell as fast (and therefore as cheaply) as they can. I don’t know what zoning laws are like in Canada (compared to here in the US), but I think merging zoning for low- and mid-density residential such that suburban NIMBYs can’t block multi-family units from being build is another necessary step. As far as everyday folks who bought into the housing system, I’d like to see them as protected from the fallout as possible, especially since (at least the US) government has been all-too-happy to let home ownership replace pensions as the primary way people are “supposed” to retire.

Jimmyeatsausage,

Ted Cruz in trouble after Pecker leaks at Trump trial…more at 11.

Jimmyeatsausage,

Sir, this is a Wendy’s…

Jimmyeatsausage,

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us

Jimmyeatsausage,

It’s also not ok to splinter the coalition with purity tests. If someone is pro democracy, pro LGBTQ, pro women’s rights, pro science, pro immigration, pro education, pro Ukraine, and pro Israel, I still want them in the fight.

Jimmyeatsausage,

Is being noble on Gaza worth risking Gaza being obliterated by Trump and the GOP?

And Ukraine being destroyed by Russia? And women’s rights further eroding? And LGBTQ rights further eroding?

Even if you accept the premise that Biden and Trump are equally bad for Gaza, there’s so many other issues on the table.

Nebraska governor changes mind; to participate in summer EBT (journalstar.com)

A sliver of good news and a reminder that talking to your elected officials CAN make a difference, even if they’re generally horrible people. Mr. Pillen realized that hungry kids were actual people after talking to some and decided, “Nebraska needs to do better.” No shit Governor, but thank you for not digging your heals...

Jimmyeatsausage,

A faulty sensor…A faulty senso responsibility, amirite?

Jimmyeatsausage,

Let that be a lesson to all the homeless people… make sure you go to your doctor regularly… your health is important!

Jimmyeatsausage,

This is pure pedantry, but the e-bike was actually invented sometime between 1895 and 1987 (depending on the source).

They definitely weren’t popular until the 21st century, but the idea’s been around a long time (just like electric cars).

Jimmyeatsausage,

No…they’re specifically using antibiotics we don’t need for people. It’s cool if you want to advocate for veganism, but make sure you’re being factually accurate when you do so if you want to be taken seriously.

Jimmyeatsausage,

Just like healthcare…there are very few cases where replacing a societal motivation with a profit motivation results in better service or lower costs.

Jimmyeatsausage, (edited )

The lies being provably false hasn’t mattered in any other context. Pecker’s got something on Trump not related to the case big enough to make Trump shut up.

Edit: subject verb agreement

Jimmyeatsausage,

That’s the least wrong thing in the post too…oof

Jimmyeatsausage,

I’m sure there are people like Tim Poole who realize, but I’m not convinced he’s capable of that level of introspection.

Jimmyeatsausage,

If you own your home, it’s a matter of public record in most states. Hell, I once used to resolve a disagreement my wife and I were having over our neighbor’s name. Just looked up the property address on your county assessors website… They list the owners, when the property was last sold, the appraised value and taxes, and a bunch of other stuff.
