The actual death toll is likely 200,000+ over the last 8 months.

The 37,000 number is only bodies that have been identified, cases of starvation and disease are also excluded.

"The entire population in Gaza is experiencing high levels of acute food shortage, with around 1.1 million people or half the population living through catastrophic food insecurity, according to the report by the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC)."

And this is from march!!!

It is an insult to a people suffering from a famine Americas ally has manufactured, to drop 1% of the needed aid(and kill people doing it) when you could stop the famine by letting the hundreds of truck in that are sitting on the border......

I did but my problem is I, as many other think school should be prepare kids and young adults for life.

And if school is meant to prepare you for adult life, it should somewhat emulate adult life in a safe setting. In which case talking about life outside is relevant.

Alternatively you're advocating for school to be more like prison lite where we can take control away from kids and young adults. Where they can't decide for themselves what to wear and they need to be protected from their uges because we think they should be considered guilty before they do anything because we think they can't resist and we refuse to teach them.

If governments around the world can consider 16 old enough to enlist and learn how to use and be responsible for a firearm then schools should consider that age old enough and responsible enough to act appropriately around women no matter how they are dressed.

A uniform doesn't stop that through, someone who is distracted by girls will continue to be distracted by girls no matter what they are wearing. Same goes for the other way around.

Get fdroid and download newpipe or alternative if you want to keep an app for YouTube without ads.

Alternative web front ends also exist if you are okay with watching videos in a mobile browser. I use an invidious instance, pick one that's close to you here. Other front ends also exist.

Alternative video platforms such as LBRY also exist and I've found a few youtubers I watched on it.

Absolutely take it as an opportunity to reduce your video content consumption. I like the invidious solution because I don't get notifications and it takes a bit more effort to manually open the link in the web client so I tend not to watch videos I'm only half interested in.

Edit: froid => fdroid

oh I'm sorry I can't support Palestine because they won't lie down and die

Imagine only supporting oppressed peoples when they don't fight their oppressors.

If your support is conditional you are not supporting.

What do you mean origins, it's what's happening now!

Native people get to told to leave their land. House gets bulldozed. Israeli settlement gets built.

Or are you trying to say every settlement that exists now sprung up in 1948?

From the infograph at the bottom of the article it looks like nothing has happened in the 'Ukraine advances' section

Is it not copyright infringement?

Also I don't believe in either but will happily use both to fuck over rich corpo pigs from commercialising my work without permission or compensation.

Spaces do not allow the viewer of code to choose how wide the indents are, this is dictated by the developer.

Most IDEs allow users to customise how many spaces to display tab indents as. Doing so the other way around may cause issues with languages based on whitespaces such as python.

The narrative is never as black and white as either US or Russian sources would have you believe.

The Ukraine is publicly against any peace talks and the US arms industry is making bank off the war so the US puts very little pressure on the Ukraine to sue for peace.

Russia claims that the US blocked early peace talks. Not sure if Russia would have gone to them in good faith but I guess we'll never know.

Any articles dehumanising Russians such as calling them orcs(this was everywhere) helps justify the continuation of the war. Any articles not calling for an immediate end to the war on humanitarian grounds should be considered propaganda for either side.

I'd argue MSM is not balanced either in the opposite direction and shits on Russia enough that bexbears don't need to join in. Countering the current narrative on anti war grounds or being anti US/NATO can be easily misunderstood as being pro Russia.

Obviously I'm not saying pro Russia accounts don't exist on hexbear but I don't think its as big a thing as you think.

On the trans thing, yeah it would be nice if they could exist everywhere without issues but I've seen plenty of transphobia coming from different instances including our own. Having a mod team that understands their struggle and protects them is worth a lot.
