Nice unbiased source you've got there... Care for an alternative version?

"Shortly after departing Kerem Shalom, initial reports indicate that four community members with experience in previous missions and engagement in community security with Move One came forward in a car and requested to take the place of the leading vehicle, citing concern that the route was unsafe and at risk of being looted," it said.

"The four community members were neither vetted nor co-ordinated in advance, and Israeli authorities allege that the lead car was carrying numerous weapons," it added. "However, the four individuals were not perceived by the convoy as a hostile threat."

"The IDF had said on Thursday that a convoy of aid trucks from the American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera) organization entered the southern Rafah area with Israeli coordination. It said that during the drive, it identified a group of gunmen taking over a vehicle at the front of the convoy and beginning to lead it. The IDF described the act as a hijacking attempt."

I mean.. dunno what to believe here... /s

They also put their military among aid convoys and stuff, right? Super convenient.

That was 4 years after the release date, tho. And the original price was 20$ not 110$. And it had been on sale for as low as 2.5$ before going f2p.

It's only Freddie that's dead from Queen, tho. And he's not even a founding member, iconic as he may be.

The article you linked claims 70% of the reported deaths have been identified. So even if "only" 25k out of 35k people are really dead, that's still a shit fucking ton of people. How are you arguing about this and not feel the need to take a shower? It's disgusting.

"Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) verified a total of 35,160 civilian casualties during Russia's invasion of Ukraine as of July 31, 2024. Of them, 23,640 people were reported to have been injured. "

That's a lot fewer dead civilians in a lot more time. I know the situations aren't the same but it's still two countries invading another and killing people.

People being held captive is in relation to the Perth-based mining company that the article talks about. The person you're replying to is talking about a Shanghai-based university. There's no captivity involved there, afaik.

They don't, but they also kinda do .... They communicate with each other and with animals, they have different chemical reactions to different stimuli, etc. just because they're different from you doesn't mean they don't suffer. Probably less than factory animals, that's for sure, ofc. But not everyone that eats meat supports that shit.

Fair enough, I see how it could all fall apart if not done properly. And based on what people are saying.. it's unlikely that he did things properly.

Can't they sell the house and do whatever they want with the money? Or rent it out and use that to pay for the maintenance/taxes, etc? Feels like it's hard to argue against giving people a free house.

That being said, if even a small part of what is being said about him is true, then he's a massive piece of shit.

I'd still take a free house from a massive piece of shit, tho.

Well, I'll give you that, I was expecting you to come up with a reason why my source was wrong, not to just ignore it and say "nah". Thanks for making this shorter.

The country in which 86% of the population live in poverty? But at least there's doctors and literacy so that's great. Classic communism win.
