That’s just an ellipsis to avoid repeating the subject, even if just by using a pronoun, in a headline. It’s completely fine as far as grammar goes, but since we’re not living in the age of the telegraph any more, it arguably wouldn’t hurt if journalists ditched that antiquated format and made headlines more readable.

By Yemen against Israel? I would think so.

what cease fores will do …it’ll stop the creation of more terrorists. Maybe create a road map to peace.

There have been several ceasefires in place between Hamas and Israel in the last 17 years since Hamas seized power in Gaza, and arguably none of them stopped the creation of new terrorists.

And let’s be honest and truthful; as bad and awful as Hamas is, the oppression imposed created the environment for them to exist.

Hamas is a terrorist organization that oppresses and murderes Palestinians. The first thing they did when Israel deoccupied Gaza was to seize power from Fatah, murder Fatah members, and suspend elections.

They purposefully murdered Israeli civilians when they could have targeted military targets. They purposefully place terrorist installations next to civilian places like hospitals, places of worship, etc. in the Gaza strip.

There’s a lot of blame on Israel for propping up Hamas in a belief that they would be less violent than Fatah, but there’s also a point where you have to admit that people who decide that they want to commit terrorism have some agency of their own, and that not even terrorist act committed by Hamas can be squarely blamed on Israel.

If it’s not processed on device, there shouldn’t be any reason why this feature has to be limited to the Pixel 7 and 8, right?

At this point, one of the things keeping Twitter alive is that 99 percent of journalists and media outlets have refused to leave, despite all the evidence that there’s nothing to be gained for them on that platform.

It’s just their own FOMO that keeps them there.

I’d wish they’d follow the lead of those organizations who simply left, or, better yet, started up their own Mastodon instances.

Chinese electric car makers get absolutely massive state subsidies. There are companies like Nio that have never made a single dollar of profit. Nio has been losing money on every single car they sell, to the point where they’ve been losing almost a billion dollars in the last quarter alone.

However, China doesn’t care. The state keeps financing these companies, because if they can undermine European and American auto makers to the point where they’re simply unable to compete and maybe even completely collapse, then Chinese car makers will be the only ones left in the market, and they’ll be able to charge any price they want.

And realistically, which American or European car maker will be able to compete with a multitude of Chinese competitors that all can afford to lose billions and billions every year without batting an eye?

So that’s why they want to fight “low prices.”

I would need much, much more solid proof for this conspiracy theory before believing it.

I don’t doubt Israel had some unspecified warnings, but I just think it’s much more likely that it was a mixture of a misguided belief that Hamas was more interested in political power than large scale terrorism, an assumption that any attack would just be “regular” rocket attacks like we’ve seen in the last years, incompetence of Israeli intelligence services, and an over confidence that the fence and Iron Dome would be enough to stop any attack.

Also, Israel doesn’t need Hamas. Just look at the West Bank where Hamas isn’t in power.

Agree though that Bibi shouldn’t be in power.

It’s not that you’re not saying it often enough, it’s that you’re stopping halfway through what’s being proposed here.

You’re seeing it as a one-sided, negative thing for the Palestinian side that the atrocities of Hamas are being “singled out” - but you’re completely ignoring the fact that they’re being “singled out” in order to be hidden from children.

This means that children would never learn - at least not on their own, via social media - of these atrocities committed by Hamas. That would appear like a net positive for the Palestinian side.

You’re getting caught up in the “singling out” part while ignoring the “in order to hide it from children” part.

And that’s hardly a good thing either.

That’s my use case as well.

Just find a carrier you like for the country you’re traveling to, download the eSIM, and you’re ready to go.

All while keeping the physical SIM card of my regular, domestic carrier in the SIM card slot.

This simple issue was a major hassle before eSIM cards existed, and now it’s the easiest, most convenient thing in the world.

That’s an argument, sure.

It just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, at least if presented as an argument criticizing Israel.

“We want kids to see all the atrocities committed by our side, but none of the atrocities committed by our enemies” would at the very least be an unconventional approach to war time propaganda.

You know what I’m getting at?

OP is implying parents should be ok with Israeli violence, but not ok with Palestinian violence.

Parents should want their kids to see violence committed by Israel, but they should want their kids to not be able to see violence committed by Palestinians?

Why?

Because they were removed, I’ll type up the sanitized version: the parent comment is pointing out the author of the article is singling out Palestinian violence, but is ignoring the violence, the genocide, being carried out by the Israeli government and the IDF.

You’re still not making sense.

If this is a pro-Israel, anti-Palestinian propaganda plot, then why should parents want their kids to see the violence, the genocide, that is being carried out by the Israeli government and the IDF, but not the atrocities and the terrorism committed by the Palestinians and by Hamas?

Wait, I don’t get this argument.

You’re saying parents are cool with it if their kids see atrocities committed by Israel, but as soon as a Palestinians terrorist group commits atrocities, parents don’t want their kids to see it - implying parents want to protect the reputation of Hamas?

Google already did this.

However, the onus to mitigate problems created by one company shouldn’t be their on competitors.

Apple launched AirTags alone, leveraging its massive Find My network, in order to have an immense advantage in the market, and this helped Apple rake in millions and millions of dollars.

It could have coordinated with Google even before the AirTag launch, but this would have probably resulted in missing out on millions in profits. So Apple chose profits over mitigating ethical and moral concerns, and only fixed problems a long time after it started selling the product to customers.

If Twitter is doing business and earning money in the European Union, then it has to abide by national law - just like any other business operating in the EU.

In a scenario where Twitter doesn’t comply with the law, the European Union can fine Twitter, appropriate earnings from the European market, sue in the United States or invoke bilateral agreements, file for extradition, or shut down Twitter in the EU via IP ban and having the app removed from the various national app stores. Google and Apple will comply for their app stores, and European providers will comply regarding an IP ban. Some people might still be able to figure out how to access Twitter via sideloading and VPN, but it would effectively destroy Twitter’s business in the European Union.

So yes, there’s a lot the EU can do.

No that was an observation.

An observation about the argument is part of a debate, an observation about the person that is making the argument is an ad hominem.

It’s literally the definition of “ad hominem.”

In that regard, your defense that you were merely making an observation is irrelevant. It’s relevant what you were making an observation about.

I’m not judging you for it, I don’t think you’re of poor character due to it.

Again irrelevant, and I don’t particularly care either way what you may or may not think about me.

The relevant point is that instead of tackling the argument that was being made, you decided to instead attack my comprehension.

That’s an ad hominem, an attack on the person you’re having a conversation with.

I’m not complaining about that, by the way, I’m merely providing you with an explanation since you’re apparently ignorant - i.e. lacking the knowledge - of what does and what doesn’t constitute an ad hominem.

You, on the other hand, are the one complaining about being attacked after bringing the conversation down to a level of ad hominem attacks, and you seem to be interested in maintaining that low level of discourse by throwing in another ad hominem here.

So my suggestion to you would be: either refrain from attacking other posters and focus on the arguments they’re making, or try not acting insulted when you’re being treated the same way that you’re treating others.

Of course, I’d be happy to!

It was when you questioned my comprehension of the argument that was being made instead of the argument itself by saying “you just haven’t understood the position.”

That’s literally an ad hominem.

I just had that conversation with a group of adults who all had iPhones and were unwilling to add non-iPhone people to a group or change messaging apps.

The reasons given were:

• My iPhone is too old, I can’t install another messaging app.
• I’m not going to install another app where I have to remember another password.
• Messages don’t go through when we add a non-iPhone user to the group.

The conclusion by the group was “just buy an iPhone!”

And that’s a group of adults. I can’t imagine the bullying and peer pressure teenagers have to face over something as idiotic as messaging apps.

Why complain about ad hominems after attacking me? You’re the one who lowered the level of the discourse - why are you complaining now?
