Define "today"? My first pick would be Yesterday, but that's about 60 years old already.

I hope the UAF strictly discipline those who did this. They've disgraced their entire country.

Yeah, but it's a dry heat.

This requires both sites to cooperate. But also see “firstly” as it won’t allow that third party access to, say, your authentication information.

Nobody here said it would let them see your authentication details, so I'm not sure why you're so vigorously fighting that straw man. Third-party cookies absolutely let them know which other sites you've visited. That's their main purpose.

Pride being used to help disadvantaged victims is fine.

The real disadvantaged victims are queer people in Palestine (and especially Gaza), where being gay or trans is persecuted to a degree unlike nearly every other place in the world. Not only are they oppressed by Israel, but they're also oppressed by their own people. Here's a good report on the matter (PDF) https://cdn.sida.se/app/uploads/2021/05/07094749/rights-of-lgbt-persons-palestine.pdf

Human rights should come before anything else, whether it's borders or religion or whatever. The morally consistent position is to advocate for Palestinian freedom that also includes freedom for all Palestinians to be themselves.

I see they have a multilingual version, but is it possible to set it to use only English and one other language? SwiftKey does that and it works great.

I sure wish queer people were left out of this war that has essentially nothing to do with them. It's a caricature of intersectionalism. Here's another absurd example: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/stjohns-pride-palestine-action-yyt-1.7253192

St. John's Pride names pro-Palestine advocacy group as grand marshals for annual parade

On July 21, Palestine Action YYT will lead the annual parade, which will wind its way through downtown St. John's and end at Bannerman Park for the Pride in the Park event.

The group has protested throughout the city for months, with downtown marches downtown calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, vigils for those who have died in the conflict, and tent encampments and the occupation of Memorial University buildings to call on administration to divest from companies that are funding the war.

My name is Inigo Mwangi. You traumatized my father. Prepare to be hacked.

Sure they can, with cookies or tracking pixels for example.

I didn't know that about Chihuahuas. Guinea Pigs were livestock too, but that's much less surprising when you see how dopey and delicious they are.

Those 176 must have been "Zionists", obviously.
