It's *scientific publishing*.

Just admit you're running a scam that destroys the world even faster than the last one

🚨 In blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement, Israel has announced it will slash agreed aid shipments in half and keep the Rafah crossing closed, after Hamas returned four of the 28 bodies of Israeli captives believed to be in Gaza. Hamas officials had repeatedly told mediators — and said in interviews with Drop Site since early October — that it would be “impossible” to locate and transfer all Israeli bodies within 72 hours of a ceasefire, given the scale of destruction. The ceasefire’s humanitarian protocol explicitly established a joint operations room — including Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, the U.S., Israel, and Hamas — to manage such complications, with Hamas required to submit all information it holds on living and deceased captives. PIJ deputy leader Mohammed al-Hindi, in an interview on October 1 with Al Araby, said: “They demand the handover of [Israeli] prisoners in 72 hours. But even if they were all together in one house, or even buried in one grave, it would be impossible to hand them over in 72 hours. The situation is complicated, and everyone — Israel, America, and the mediators — knows it is complicated.”

According to Reuters who cited three Israeli officials, the Rafah crossing will remain closed through Wednesday, and aid deliveries will be sharply reduced. And Israeli outlets are claiming Hamas violated the deal, with Channel 12 citing an official alleging Hamas is “in severe breach” by not releasing more bodies. Egypt has reportedly deployed teams in Gaza to help locate them. In a formal COGAT communication, Israel tied humanitarian aid directly to the return of bodies — a move amounting to collective punishment of a famine-stricken population: “Yesterday, Hamas violated the agreement… As a result, political leadership has decided to impose a number of sanctions related to the humanitarian agreement. Starting tomorrow, only half of the agreed number of trucks — 300 — will be allowed to enter, all belonging to the UN and humanitarian NGOs. No fuel or gas will be allowed into the Strip, except for limited humanitarian needs.” Senior Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzouk told Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill last week that a prisoner exchange “would be impossible” while Israeli forces remain in Gaza’s population centers:

“We don’t know exactly where the prisoners are. Even the negotiators don’t know their locations. There cannot be an exchange if Israeli forces remain.” Marzouk warned that Israel’s refusal to withdraw proves it “does not want Trump’s ceasefire plan to be implemented.” As early as October 3, when Hamas first delivered its response to Trump’s plan, Marzouk said on television that locating remains “would take months” after Israel destroyed and blocked off delivery of desperately needed heavy machinery. It would be “impossible” in 72 hours.

Je me contente de relever des faits de base. Vos réflexes réactionnaires qui vous font automatiquement associer la technologie à un mal social ne sont pas une source sérieuse.

ça n'a mais alors rien à voir avec mes arguments. Et si vous voulez aller dans ce territoire, les études qui "prouvent" qu'on se rappelle mieux en écrivant à la main ne vérifient que l'activité cérébrale pendant l'écriture, pas la capacité d'apprentissage ou de mémorisation a posteriori.

Quand on travaille 5 minutes avec des jeunes on apprend qu'ils trouveront toujours un moyen d'outrepasser les règles et que ça ne sert à rien de faire la police pour les téléphones. La coercion c'est un poids supplémentaire sur nos épaules qui ne résulte en aucune amélioration pour les élèves

Ce serait un bon argument si ça n'était pas faux. Je suis professeur en formation en Allemagne, où tous les élèves travaillent exclusivement sur tablette dès la 5e (et où les profs gagnent le double, et où on ne travaille que le matin) et ils s'en sortent mieux que nous.

Et si on arrêtait de prendre les profs à la gorge pour qu'ils puissent faire des cours où les élèves ne s'ennuient pas au lieu de gâcher des moyens à fliquer les gosses pour savoir s'ils utilisent les appareils que littéralement tous les autres ont le droit d'avoir h24 ?

Liberals as in those following the doctrine of liberalism. All the blue MAGA and Democrat fanboys. Those who oppose every war but the current one and support every social movement except the current one. The "center-left"

Me answering a blocked post: So, your take is that we shouldn't pressure politicians? What's the point of representatives if they can do whatever hateful shit they want and not be held accountable? They're supposed to be appealing to us so we vote for them, not the other way around.

Once again, liberals show they don't mind a dictatorship as long as it's their brand of bigotry that wins. OP was calling people "assholes" for suggesting it was normal to pressure Biden on Palestine.

False. Even Israel was shocked at how complacent the US was : quincyinst.org/research/und...

Tbf now lazy people use ChatGPT to post, so doing it manually has become the middle ground

They don't have to anything, they choose to. Batman Arkham Knight uses Unreal Engine 3 and doen't look worse than most AAA titles releasing in the 2020s. Most of the "content" they make us pay for is either rehashed from before or copy-pasted side quests and environments. Not worth the money.

Maybe unpopular take but I think "during COVID" is fine!
Death data show a clear acute phase from spring 2020 until spring 2022. Since then deaths have steadily trended downward and this winter fell below flu deaths. You can take COVID seriously and still talk about the worst of it in the past tense

It can be a starting point. Someone who doesn't have any tangible political beliefs will tend to side with those who look the most approachable when they get onto the internet

When is the US government going to trial for its part in the attack as well ?
