  • Supporters of Israel's actions in Gaza - why do you think the Geneva convention should not apply?

    Jump

  • I did not mean to imply that supporting Israel's right to exist as a state means you must support their actions or vice versa. It is not intended to be a loaded question.

  • Does one side disregarding the Geneva convention mean the other is free to do so?

    I would argue that the Geneva convention is as much about protecting the humanity of adherants as it is about protecting the lives of the innocent.

    If you sign up to it, you should not be considering the actions of your enemy in deciding whether to adhere to it or not. Yes the realities of war blur the lines, but as someone else said, if you become a monster to defeat the monster, you still lost.

    Jump

  • This is the kind of response I was looking for.

    I'm not seeking to pile on the anti Israel sentiment but to genuinely understand what the basis for the Israeli position and supporters of it might be.

  • Supporters of Israel's actions in Gaza - why do you think the Geneva convention should not apply?

    Jump

  • No I'm genuinely interested in how people rationalise the actions of Israel against the articles of the Geneva convention. There have been some thoughtful answers already which I appreciate.

  • On the Internet, what is a dead giveaway that someone is actually a kid?

    Jump

  • Because you are a kid and you don't know but are pretending to be an adult. Nice try!

  • Does Microsoft have the power to pull the plug on Linux gaming?

    Jump

  • Even then you can still have someone read the source and write a spec for a second programmer to write a library. The programmer never saw the source code but it was still useful. Still legal to do this. If someone dumped original source into the projector could be similarly checked for duplication without breaking the law.

  • It's Val Kilmer's superhero name. His super villain name is "Kill more".

  • Which software is best for making a video with presentation?

    Jump

  • You can do this with PowerPoint. After recording it makes the video an object on your slide so you can position it anywhere. Different on each slide if needed.

  • Science rule

  • On the religion side the last picture should be the same as the first.

  • I'm sure not knowing if you'll eat today, not knowing if you'll stay dry at night is not at all stressful.

  • Rapid-charging battery train trial launched

    Jump

  • From the article, looks like this thing can time travel too.

    “This is a vital step towards our ambition to remove all diesel and new trains from the UK rail network by 2014."

    I really hope they can get rid of all those new trains too . Rail travel just isn't the same without the dank smells

  • Rapid-charging battery train trial launched

  • The article covered that. This is designed to be cheaper apparently....

  • As a non American, where I am from, we call them toasties. Cheese toasties, cheese and tomato toasties, etc.

    I don't know of any puritans who argue about what a true toastie is, but I may have lived a sheltered life. People will argue about anything.

  • Do InvisibleFence brand controller units work with non-IF collars?

    Jump

  • I'm sometimes baffled by people. My dog is a member of my family not a pet. My job is to protect her not hurt her. Surely a tall enough fence and a solution to prevent digging under are better than a torture device???

    Are you guys all locking your dogs outside for long periods unsupervised?

  • Does anyone feel like an actual adult?

    Jump

  • I'd call 'actual adulting' having responsibility for another's welfare. Whether a dog, cat or human, they are all varying levels of "if I fuck up, someone else suffers".

    I still don't feel fully like an adult, but I do feel the responsibility of ensuring there is food on the table and a roof over our heads. My partner is also responsible for these things so it is a little less pressure.

    All said I do not feel as adult as I saw my parents when they were my age. They seemed very grown up and very responsible compared to how I feel today. I was 11 when my dad was my age.

  • Sore Losers of Lemmy: What Helped You Start to Lose with Grace?

    Jump

  • Ask yourself what winning the game gains for you and what losing costs you. Then ask yourself what behaving like an ass when you win or lose might gain you or cost you. No one will remember you won that particular game in a month except maybe you. It is not going to be something that other people findly remember about you when you aren't around. However if you act like a ass, they definitely will remember and what you will gain if you repeatedly behave like that is a reputation, and not a good one. Nobody else really cares if you win or lose. It says literally nothing useful about you in day to day life.

    What do you prefer to win, a board game or a lasting relationship.

    Now that's said, when you are in the midst of losing and you can feel the tension. Remind yourself what is really at stake as above.

    If you start losing and winning graciously you will hopefully come to realise the above naturally.
