"That truck scared the piss outta me!"

See, this is the shit. Who are the occupiers? Palestine is a remnant of the Ottoman empire. Before that it was the Byzantines or the Romans and just about every other empire in the area in human history. Before Rome , it was the Jews. Then they lost the war and were banished from the region and scattered. It's the major reason there is NO one right answer. People going to a concert don't deserve to be brutally raped and murdered JUST as much as people trying to survive in an open air prison don't deserve to be indiscriminately bombed. That shit has been a dumpster fire for 3000 years, now all in the pursuit of power and clout. We can give a damn about people not in power, AKA the civilians on both sides.

No, it likely has more to do with an assassination attempt on US soil.

[–] BrandoGil@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

There's a lot of lobby money tied into that but there's another policy pill that's hard to swallow, as well. The US has stated numerous times that after the assault on Hamas is over, Palestinians should and need to be the ones to govern themselves either through a new government or the Palestinian Authority which has been kept out of power since Hamas assumed rule in the West Bank. Israel hasn't committed to that solution and without the US, there is no one to make them commit. So if the US pulls out, now, Israel still won't stop and the resolution will be Palestinians living under Israeli rule. There isn't a right answer or path forward so they're opting for the least bad, long-term.

Peat, too! It's one of the best carbon sinks we currently have.

[–] BrandoGil@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

But that isn't how technology works. We'll need carbon capture to be at a point where we can actively remove carbon from the atmosphere at a higher rate than it enters the atmosphere as we ween off carbon fuels if we ever want to survive climate change long term.

Yeah, but he did maintain a positive outlook all the way through.

It's perjury which carries actual jail time if any of the other cans pop up.

If I have 100 acres of land and cut down 66 acres last year, this year my maximum output is 50% of last year's output but 100% is still going to be gone.

No, it's a well fleshed out theorem and is mathematically correct
