livus, to asklemmy in In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?

Not from Asia but I do that. Made a fool of myself following squirrels around the first time I went to a country that has them.

"Pop quiz hotshot, there's a bomb on the bus".

I think this movie holds up pretty well. Strange now to remember when I first saw a poster for it I wasnt convinced Keanu could do action.

To me that bit's the most relatable. Trying to explain to a cop how it is that you "let" this weird guy mutilate your genitals would be a bit daunting.

That's the influence of @anon6789 and the owl lobby!

When people hear about it they do care though.

It's just way fewer people in the West get to know about it because the mainstream media is mostly interested in the western nations and their allies.

From the article:

This was confirmed by ICC prosecutor Karim A. A. Khan in January 2024 during a statement. He mentioned, “There are grounds to believe that presently Rome Statute crimes are being committed in Darfur by both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces and affiliated groups.”

At an international level, the availability of information regarding the crimes committed in Sudan has been a challenge. As a result, many of the crimes committed go unpunished, resulting in a lack of justice. Executive director at Human Rights Watch, Tirana Hassan, said that “the global inaction in the face of atrocities of this magnitude is inexcusable.” Conversely, in March 2024, the UN Security Council took further action regarding the situation in West Darfur. Resolution 2725 extends the Panel of Experts monitoring sanctions and actions in Sudan to 2025, assisting in the various reports.

The report includes a series of recommended actions to be considered internationally. These include targeted sanctions, an arms embargo, and further investigations into the events committed. The situation in Sudan is still under development. Stressing international cooperation and humanitarian action is a central priority in the report.

Thanks, kudos to you.

livus, to chat in What the hell is the reverse of impostor syndrome called?
livus avatar

I just wake up and am myself, and I’m somehow paid for this. Given all the bullshit surrounding corporate roles, I’m left agape at how this still exists and my ability to just slide into something I’ve never done.

That just sounds like normal imposter syndrome to me. You're questioning why you are allowed to do something that youre competent to do.

If you didn't have imposter syndrome you wouldnt be questioning it.

livus, to nostupidquestions in I'm so tired of hearing about US police brutality and China being authoritarian. Why does it feel like everyone is a hypocrite here? Where are the posts about Chinese protests and police brutality?
livus avatar

This. There's nothing in western news media about domestic issues in China. If @PumpkinDrama wants to know more they should look for books or articles about Chinese protests such as the anti PX protests and the anti nuclear plant protests.

livus, to world in The State Department said that Israel's military campaign in Gaza may have violated international law.
livus avatar

They're also allowing mask-off genocidal statements in their public sphere. It doesn't sound like much but it's a pretty damning one and well documented.

All the big stuff has been covered so I'll just add a small point:

When you praise her, praise her for who she is as a person first, not just her looks.

Instead of starting with "that's a pretty dress", opt for "did you choose that dress? You have a great sense of style" or "I love how enthusiastic you are about this outing" or whatever.

It may be irrelevant to your purposes but it's not irrelevant to the families she affected.

It's good that their leadership is taking a stand.

Thanks that was a really thorough and insightful article.

Yeah the point of interest here is it's a step closer to a BRICS currency.
