  • That wouldn’t end the war, that would result in the continued wholesale slaughter of eastern Ukranians by their own government

    Did Ukraine do that? Genuine question, not really educated in the pre-war history. Sounds a bit unbelievable to me at first glance. Feel free to provide reading material.

    Please stop thinking about geopolitics in childish terms of maniacs and minions, life is not a Marvel movie.

    Of course not. I wanted to keep it short and on point.
    However, war will continue as long as there are forces at play who want the war. Putin is certainly one of these war-driving forces, as well as his minions his top-people in military and politics. Given the expansionistic approach, the numerous threats, even against children, creates a pretty insane picture.







  • It’s impossible to trust any sources these days because there are hidden agendas. […] No amount of “scientific literature” can contradict actual, basic, fundamental science about who we are and what we are supposed to eat. Anyone who does has an agenda.

    Sounds more like, “I don’t like it, so it must be an agenda”.

    If you have issues trusting science we won’t come to an agreement here. Having a biased view and choosing what you want to believe, despite contradicting evidence, is building an illusion and not having an accurate picture of reality.

    Note that research on that topic has not just popped up in the last couple of years. Also you may take a look at other cultures for hands-on counterexamples, e.g. some monks who live and have lived their whole lifes without consuming animal products.

    The fact remains: we are omnivores

    I wonder how you decide what a “fact” is, since you have issues trusting the work of scientists.
    Anyway:
    The fact also remains that digestion capabilites, i.e. being able to eat both plant and animal matter, don’t necessarily impose dietary recommendations.

    What you need to survive is a set of nutrients your body can digest. In which form they come, is less important.


  • Humans need at least some meat to survive. […] It causes long-term, serious harm to people who do not supplement their diet with at least some meat. […] completely cutting out meat is bad for you.

    That is not correct.

    Advocating a vegan (or even vegetarian) diet is ignoring science and how our bodies function. […] Pure veganism is a cult that ignores science, diet, and common sense.

    To the contrary. It is very much supported by science. Are you interested in the scientific literature? I’ll happily share.





  • “Mistakes were treated statistically,” a source who used Lavender told +972. “Because of the scope and magnitude, the protocol was that even if you don’t know for sure that the machine is right, you know statistically that it’s fine. So you go for it.” […]
    During the first few weeks of the war, officers were allowed to kill up to 15 or 20 civilians for every lower-level Hamas operative targeted by Lavender; for senior Hamas officials, the military authorized “hundreds” of collateral civilian casualties, the report claims.

    I fucking hate people. Especially those, who don’t need to use violence but choose to do so anyway.
