I did the same, because the arguments on both sides have become stale and downright cheesy.

But we are actually saving the world and are completely justified in thinking anyone who opposes us is a fool… right?

Now there’s rumours he may have been shot down by a Patriot missile. One thing’s for sure, Ukrainian air force isn’t going to tell the truth.

I was just saying that the research wasn’t Tel Aviv University’s. He was just a contributor to the project.

Fair enough.

Arar is a traveling PhD student

He’s a PhD student at Tel Aviv University

I am a PhD student at Tel Aviv University, working under the supervision of Amit Bermano and Ariel Shamir.

Re: “the research is entirely google’s.”

For the last two years, Google had been a marquee sponsor of IT For IDF — the company is a natural partner for the event, given Google Cloud’s foundational role in Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion contract aimed at modernizing cloud computing operations across Israeli government that it shares with Amazon.

Google’s own corporate schedule, reviewed by The Intercept, seems to contradict this statement. The document includes upcoming Google events in Israel, and IT For IDF 2024 is on the list. On this internal schedule, Google is explicitly labeled as a co-sponsor of the conference in partnership with CloudEx, an Israeli cloud computing consultancy.

You shouldn’t support Google either: don’t use google services, use adblock, de-google your phone…

Tel Aviv University

Fuck that noise. As long as apartheid Israel is subjugating/genociding Palestinians I don’t care for anything that comes out of there.

This feels like Israeli entryism into the video game market, just like they did with LGBTQ+ and vegan meat products.

Imagine starting a Friends of the PLA charitable organisation in the US…

Don’t know if this is general knowledge, but I think it’s cool how the Chupa Chups logo on the lollipop wrapper was designed by Salvador Dalí.

when it rains you’ll start wishing you were dead.

This.

Every CoD game is US imperialist propaganda.

games where you also get to play as the soviets/red army soldier

Hell Let Loose, multiplayer wwii shooter with eastern front maps and a soviet faction.

I wrote a bunch of movies with links, but then clicked Next instead of Reply. Didn’t want to write it all again, here’s off the top of my head.

Semi-old classics: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Hero; Shaolin Soccer; Infernal Affairs (the Departed before the Departed).

Relatively new movies: Journey to the West saga, The Knight of Shadows, League of Gods (fantasies); The Battle At Lake Changjin (big budget Korean War movie); The Wandering Earth (1 and 2); 2046 (sci-fi movies).

I just googled for best chinese movies of 2000s and got these lists. Most I’ve never even heard of. Damn, looks like I have pleb taste lmao. Time to watch as many of these as possible. https://www.imdb.com/list/ls043637839/ https://www.imdb.com/list/ls082747506/

I just used some bio manure beads this season and mixed it deep into the soil. Apparently it’s enough nutrients for three seasons. I’m more confident about next season cause this year a lot of the things I grew got burnt by the heat. But the trees have been fruitful on account of the sun, heat and deep roots.

I’ll try planting some tomatoes in late May. :)

I unironically enjoy Chinese movies. Big sets, lots of extras, over the top CGI, fun stories… They’re entertainment, rather than trojan horses for liberal ideas.

planted them a lil later, for some reason they grow bigger that way

Had no idea about this. I’ll try that next year. When did you plant them? In late April/early May? And what kind of tomatoes?

Didn’t know about that. Thanks.

But at what cost?

May you have a bountiful harvest. I’ve been eating figs for the past few weeks. Tangerines are coming in in November.

You should.

To be the devil’s advocate here, there’s nothing wrong with taking fruits from a tree. In fact, it’s a pretty sustainable practice.

Just looked into it, HarmonyOS is closed source. No bueno.
