Autumn’s beautiful though. It’s just that shorter days and the reason can make it a bit depressing.
Taiwan is a full democracy, not a flawed one. At least according to the widely respected Economist Democracy Index.
Taiwan is more democratic than Canada and Germany. And a lot more than the US, but that’s not surprising.
I feel the same way. She is also way too well known for any expert to be fooled into thinking it’s going to be a serious interview

Still rocking a higher life expectancy though, vegans got that going for them.
What do you think raping and massacring people at a music festival is going to do?
Nothing, just cause more suffering. But this isn’t a bad guy vs good guy argument. The point that’s being made is that extremism tends to be a product of its environment.
Please note that this is not an anti-Israel line of arguing.
Conditions in Gaza are terrible and many people have lost loved ones during their lives there. It creates an environment where extremism can flourish. It’s not a certainty, but the probability is just much higher in environments that are severely deprived.
The actions of Hamas are inexcusable, and Israel will surely want to bring them to justice. But after that it’s time to acknowledge that if conditions in Gaza are kept as poor as they are, the chances of this type of violence happening again are almost guaranteed. It’s also in the interest of Israel to allow and facilitate improved conditions in Gaza.
Such an enlightening argument.
I guess then it was an excellent idea to shoot up a music festival.

I am sorry you lost several loved ones. I can’t imagine what that must be like.
Hopefully, while grieving, you won’t be stuck in anger for much longer. The people that you have lost wouldn’t want children to pay the price for your country’s revenge.
Of course you want Hamas to be brought to justice, but there are many people like you and I in Gaza that are just trying to live a life free of violence. Hamas might kill indiscriminately, but they are a terrorist/radical group. A country must not sink to their level, especially a democratic one.
Nothing will make it easier for Hamas to find new recruits than large numbers of people in Gaza who are grieving their lost ones: and so the cycle of violence continues.
It’s not that far fetched. It works the other way around as well.
Israel has much more freedom to do what it pleases in terms of its illegal settlements if the other side appears violent and unreasonable. Occupying Gaza creates a breeding ground for extremists, but could be considered an acceptable status quo for Israel as it’s impossible to find broad support for Palestine if it’s associated with extremists.
I just can’t fathom how it wouldn’t also have helped Hamas’ cause by forbidding any form of sexual violence.
It would have helped their cause if it had been possible to draw comparisons between them and Israel: both kill lots of civilians. But the reports of rape and other sexual violence just makes it impossible to feel anything but disgust.
I think there are few things on the other side of the spectrum that you might have missed.
*Mumbles sometimes about books in the US*
Let’s be clear that this is Hamas though, it’s not correct to say that it’s Palestine, regardless if the actions of Hamas are supported more broadly.
Gas isn’t safe
Researchers have estimated that around 12-13% of childhood asthma cases in countries like Australia and the United States can be attributed to the use of gas stoves for cooking Source: Nationalasthma.org.au
*Stanford University researchers measured emissions for 53 stoves while on and off. *
[…]
Seventy-six percent of unburned methane leaked out through pipes and fittings when stoves were off.
[…]
A gas stove also pollutes when it is off. A 2022 study found that gas stoves, even when not in use, can leak as much benzene, a carcinogen, as secondhand cigarette smoke. Another study that analyzed natural gas samples found that 95 percent of them contained benzene, for which there is no safe level. That study also found 21 hazardous air pollutants in unburned gas, including hexane and toluene, which can affect the nervous system, liver, and kidneys.

This is the point of the fediverse.

That also doesn’t make a lot of sense though, does it. In my language, the day comes first. Also when spoken.
Agreed, equating them is just penalty inflation.
A more productive focus would be:
There are 36 pages of translation extensions. The official one works without the cloud, which is pretty unique.
Personally I like the Immersive Translate extension. You can select your preferred translation engine (cloud based, but it supports many) and it shows you both the translated text and original text by alternating the paragraphs.

It’s okay not to know. English is spoken in a lot of different places in different ways. I doubt that in your 40 years you’ve explored this.
Google Trends shows that it’s most popular in Malaysia and the Philippines, relative to its use in other countries.
