It’s obviously pronounced Kicago, just like Chamäleon, Chemie and China :)

none of the countries have killed as many children as Israel

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Chechen_War

100,000–130,000 civilians killed (Bonner)[21] 80,000–100,000 civilians killed (Human rights groups estimate)[22][23] 30,000–40,000+ civilians killed (RFSSS data)[24] At least 161 civilians killed outside Chechnya[c] 500,000+ civilians displaced[citation needed]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Chechen_War

Estimate total number of casualties: 30,000 civilians dead (25,000 killed and 5,000 missing) according to AI[24] ~80,000 killed in Chechnya (GfbV estimate)[25] More in neighbouring regions 40,000–50,000 civilians killed (Kramer)[26] More than 600 killed during attacks in Russia proper.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War:

11,000+ civilians killed (confirmed)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Syrian_civil_war

Number of killed civilians by Russian forces: 6861 - 8729+

Add a couple hundred of killed Georgian civilians and you have a range for Russian civilian kills in the last 30 years of:

80,000 - 230,000

If we count genocides perpetrated by Turkish nationalists in the Ottoman Empire and continued by newly founded Turkey we have:

• 600,000 - 1.5 million Armenian civilians killed
• 300,000 - 900,000 Greek civilians killed

As to genocides perpetrated solely by the state of Turkey:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dersim_massacre

Turkish Kurdish anthropologist Dilşa Deniz estimates the number of deaths to be between 46.000 to 63.000.[65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72] Historian Hans-Lukas Kieser writes that 40,000 is implausibly high.[73] Historian Annika Törne estimates 32,000 to 70,000 dead as a result of massacres

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilan_massacre

Deaths: 5,000 - 15,000

Several hundred more Kurdish civilians have been killed in the past few decades by Turkey.

But you’re right that in the past few decades Turkey hasn’t killed as many Kurdish civilians as Israel has Palestinian civilians. Turkey is “just” commiting cultural genocide right now.

Nuuuu that’s not simple >:(

All adult games on Steam are banned already in Germany + those on The Index.

But would you push the fat man over the railing?

As before, a trolley is hurtling down a track towards five people. You are on a bridge under which it will pass, and you can stop it by putting something very heavy in front of it. As it happens, there is a fat man next to you – your only way to stop the trolley is to push him over the bridge and onto the track, killing him to save five. Should you proceed?

• Some random philosopher

But…

To be fair, there’s a very easy solution for that… 🔒

Not necessarily, bombs that don’t explode usually land on very soft ground - presumably the hole closed itself on top of the bomb right as it buried itself in.

Here you go

Banning a party has significant affects on far-right organizations and money-streams. Much of their propaganda will become impossible to finance and any successor parties are automatically banned as well. Fascist voters cannot become disillusioned without a ban. Their beliefs are as solid as a flat-earther or anti-vaxer and only destroying their echo chamber has a chance to take them out.

I dislike the .not() method a bit because it inverts the meaning of the previous code snippet you’ve read.

if (list.isEmpty()...

“Ah, so if the list is empty…”

if (list.isEmpty().not())

“Goddammit”

The government would be the accuser?? Just because a camera is used for evidence doesn’t make the camera THE accuser. Civilized nations have a way to fight the camera-issued fine, for example if the photo doesn’t show your face.

Sure, though the resource saving ∆ is quite small when adhering to tenet 1 instead of 2. After all, it takes hardly any energy to send a few kibibytes of data across the internet. Even all memes combined use a relatively low amount of energy and storage, since the vast majority of internet traffic is videos and streaming:

In 2022, 65% of all internet traffic came from video sites

A significantly - in the order of thousands - more efficient way to reduce would be by installing an ad blocker. It prevents web pages from loading several megabytes of tracking JavaScripts and you don’t lose any functionality.

No, it’s a day to marvel at the implementation of the core tenets of saving resources: Reduce, reuse, recycle.

This meme uses the second tenet to its fullest. Just imagine how much energy and resourves would need to be spent to create a mature movie as popular as this children’s cartoon. You could use the third tenet, recycling, to create the mature movie by editing Disney’s “Lion King” into one but that would still require significantly more resources than just using the second tenet.

Sure but in Buddhism it’s still like a trillion years in hell which is more than enough to break you

I’m not a Greek expert, I just know what little math has told me… 😅

The pronunciation thing came directly from Wikipedia because I was unsure how to spell it phonetically in English and then I threw the Greek pronunciation in because that’s how it’s pronounced in German too (since I am German and was only certain about the German pronunciation): Xi (letter)

Huh? Phonetically it could sound like “ze males” with a thick German accent but that’s not what I meant.

I quote:

No one likes xi. It is impossible to write, I mean which great mind thought it would be a good idea to turn a tornado into a letter, simply preposterous.

https://www.change.org/p/the-entire-multiverse-ban-xi-from-the-greek-alphabet

Edit: I can kinda see where the slur is now, bur that’s not how you pronounce (the Greek letter) “xi”. Xi is pronounced /zaɪ/ ZY or /(k)saɪ/ (K)SY in English and [ksi] in Greek.

I despise xi males, they have the worst Greek letter.

Forced arbitration and picking jurisdictions is illegal in the EU so that clause doesn’t apply to Austria. An Austrian would file in any Austrian court that has jurisdiction for contract/civil matter. Therefore, the section with King County includes:

For All Subscribers Outside the European Union and United Kingdom: […] You and Valve agree that all disputes and claims between you and Valve (including any dispute or claim that arose before the existence of this or any prior agreement) shall be commenced and maintained exclusively in any state or federal court located in King County, Washington, having subject matter jurisdiction.

But how was life 5 punched?
