Looks badass. I love how she seems to have decorated the wheel spokes with foliage.

BRICS is a trading bloc not a military alliance.

Also, BRICS is rumored to be starting its own currency and we have already seen stuff like Sri Lanka using rupees to deal with its economic crisis. That’s going to be very attractive to some countries hence the clamour to join.

They are trying a genocide, looking like the villain while doing it kind of comes with the territory.

Probably Twitter.

I think you’re right - women are also socialized to seek out social/interpersonal connections more than men; this is a big factor in why the suicide rate for elderly men tends to be significantly higher than for elderly women.

This doesn’t explain the 60 year olds but with the elderly (70+) women in my life, the vulnerability to misinformation is also an artifact of their comparatively poor levels of education. They were schooled with the expectation that they would be SAHMs.

* She. It was the previous one, not the one that has actually laid the charges.

If you read the articles on this, the timeline makes sense. No one has to be “psychic”.

• In 2015 Palestine applied to join the ICC.

• Mossad’s harassment of the ICC’s chief prosecutor seems to have begun straight after that.

• Israel was already breaching international law with the settlements and flouting of the Geneva Conventions, and had been accused of war crimes in e.g. 2014.

If an entity is repeatedly accused of committing crimes it’s not really some crazy conspiracy if prosecutors start taking an interest in their activities. And the more they escalate their criminal activity the more likely it is that an investigation and eventual warrant will follow.

Worth noting that’s Hexbear not Lemmy as a whole. Hexbear has a unique culture.

To answer the question, the way you attract openly cis women is create spaces where they are definitely not bullied, trolled, and stalked. The fediverse is young and has relatively few mod tools.

There are plenty of cis women on mastodon as far as I can see.

This. Lemmy.world is probably the most vanilla. I suspect there are probably more cis women on instances like Beehaw as well.

Let us know what you go with!

I feel the same way. He’s not my friend and he’s not a cute kid or something. He’s a genocidal war criminal.

Noooo not the alpacas!! They deserve better.

For real tho I’m not looking forward to pandemic 2.0.

It is pretty bad. The part where the Mossad guy “ambushed” the judge in a hotel room is blatant intimidation.

Definitely. The US isn’t likely to like either side given one of them is tight with Iran and the other one has dealings with Russian mercenaries.

@victorz - The “fast”/ big obvious ones are Darfur and Gaza, but there’s also probably Oromia, slow genocide in West Papua, Western Sahara, Xinjiang, and I think Nagorny-Karabakh and Tigray could start up again at some point. There is obviously a genocidal component to the Tatmadaw’s activities in Myanmar but right now they seem to be getting their asses kicked by the alliance which includes ethnic minority armies.

Then there are the more obscure genocides that are mostly only mentioned outside western and english-language news media, for example the ongoing slow genocide of the Baloch people in the Balochistan region.

Not all armed conflicts are genocides.

Is it naive of me to think American news must have at least reported on the international intervention into the 2004-2005 genocide?

And the separation of Sudan into two countries in 2011? Those were both pretty big; I thought that would be why the person above was calling this an old conflict.

the OG

Not even close.

Idk, I’ve had to deal with coronial inquiries and I can’t imagine what it would be like if the Coroner was just some random person instead of, well, an actual coroner.

It seems like electing your neighbour the lawnmower guy to run your divorce court instead of letting a judge do it.

No one here has been hearing about it in the news for hundreds of years tho (unless some of you are undead/vampires).

Arguably the roots of the Sudan conflict go back to the 1300s.

But in both cases the modern nation-state conflicts kicked off after the colonization of the 19th centuries, and in both cases most of us have been aware of it for decades.
