People are vandalizing Jewish restaurants, synagogues and monuments; terrorizing Jewish people and students; and murdering random Jewish grandmothers on the streets to affect political change?
It is the biggest con since Tesla FSD. Countless pictures from the civil war in Syria are passed off as if they were from Gaza. Countless staged photos and videos. Countless articles repeating Hamas claims with pictures whose captions have nothing to do with what's actually in the picture. Every stupid thing someone said gets butchered to fit Hamas narrative. Your ridiculous Wikipedia article is no different, including that quote some "Israeli official" said a day or two after the October 7 attacks. Not only was he referring to Hamas, it didn't even happen. The amount of food that entered the Gaza Strip during the war is gargantuan[1].
Don't get me wrong, people are definitely suffering, but when there are so many lies, it's hard to tell what's true, and when you spend your entire life in bomb shelters and see your friends and family get murdered, it's even harder to care.
Look at the UN. You've got that Francesca Albanese woman, who's supposed to be an "expert on human rights". Even she spread the obvious lie that "Israel killed more journalists in Gaza than both world wars combined", a ludicrous claim anybody with half a brain knows is ludicrous. Nobody knows how many journalists died in the two world wars (nobody knows how many died in Gaza while we're at it), and even her source for that claim says so ("No one knows how many reporters have been killed doing their jobs... Available counts are fragmentary and deaths of non-Western journalists, especially prior to the 1990s, are largely undocumented.").
But she spread the lie anyway, and the media helped her spread it more. Why? Why would an intelligent UN official spread such a lie? Why was the Wikipedia article about Zionism edited to say that "Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine with as much land, as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible", with the only "sources" cited for that insane, false claim being anti-Israel texts from the past decade only?
Not everything about the war is a lie, but much of it is.
Look, Israel didn't let in journalists claiming it's for their safety, and there are repressions against Albanese as well as the Chief of the ICC. If the situation was so clear, the above would not happen.
Murdering 30,000 innocent people in three days of protests is indeed not in the ballpark of killing 30,000 militants in two years of a war, you're absolutely right.
I disagree, at least when it comes to the web (of those days). What's the point of rewriting what's already well- and accurately-written in the docs? What better job are the people on that message board going to do with regards to such a small, specific syntax feature? The point of those "communities" wasn't to answer questions like "what is this variable?" but rather to have actual discussions on the language, such as how to structure applications, design patterns, projects, etc. Imagine trying to build an online community for this purpose, only to spend your days answering the most basic questions possible that were already explained many times before.
Eventually, a website more tailored to such questions was created - Stack Overflow - and there things were very different than in subject-specific communities: there was no "community", there were no discussions, just a big mess of questions. It had a purpose and it served it well. Now it's dying too because of LLMs, but I digress.
Now, in a different scenario, say a colleague asking you that question at work, a direct answer is warranted, but without letting the colleague know that this information and a lot more is a just a few keypresses away would be a wasted opportunity, and not particularly a good way to help that colleague progress.
You can only spoon feed people so much. At a certain point relying on other people to just give you the answer every time you don't know something is lazy. It's like you have no respect for their time.
Golly. There are still some who think it is ok to be rude to newbies.
$|++ is arcane to anyone not steeped in Perl
The newbies could be warmly welcomed and shown respect.
But no, RTFM.
That is rude to somebody drowning in newness. If you do not want to answer their question, then don't. But some people seem to get a kick out of being rude to weaker people
All the times it happened to me, back in the '90s this made life really much harder than it needed to be.
>Golly. There are still some who think it is ok to be rude to newbies.
the entire tech industry is driven by humans and we're really bad at everything. once the AIs take over things should be much better, except for the occasional hallucination.
> made life really much harder than it needed to be
If only you had read the manual...
Seriously though, of course I wasn't advocating for rudeness, and trust me, I remember how rude some people were back then in tech-related boards, this was not a unique Perl thing. I'm advocating for pointing people to the sources of information they're looking for.
> You've made my shitlist
Well then I hope it's posted somewhere I can refer to at will so that I don't have to ask you on a message board like a noob.
I don't disagree that it happens/happened, just that I disagree with the implied frequency, as I've never seen it in person and I see a lot of cybertrucks at my local chargers.
Also this recall is for the lightbar, the trim piece was recalled in March.
How can we not know it? It's every second sentence out of every Tesla fanboy's keyboard. Thankfully, people wised up to the scam and it's no longer the case.
Prove it.
