Disclaimer for some of these: Wild animals shouldn't really be pets. In some cases they end up that way because they can't be reintroduced to the wild, but should only be taken care of by somebody experienced. That goes for most of these animals frankly, none of them are something I would say somebody should buy on a whim.

As an example of that fennec fox are absolutely adorable, but wild animals. They are very social, so either you would need to be home all the time or get two. They're also nocturnal and SUPER active. Not easy to feed too, you would need a steady supply of insects and eggs, among other things.

Bats are very social, and would probably require you to have multiple bats They can do okay in captivity, but aren't something I would just recommend the average person get.

Crows are frankly too smart for it, they aren't going to be happy in captivity. From what I understand, they develop a lot of mental issues in captivity unless they are very specially cared for.

Axolotl are cute. They can be raised domestically and work okay as pets. They are also endangered and probably should not be kept as a pet by an inexperienced owner.

Capybara can be domesticated fairly well and get along with people, but need a lot of space.

Reptiles are fairly easy to take care of if you do some research and know what you are doing, I used to rescue and keep snakes. Still, you would want to make sure you are getting their habitat/temperature control right. I would probably go with any of the lizards/amphibeans.

Always great when the white house has to release a clarifying statement that basically amounts to "Actually the president just straight up lied".

I have seen efforts to get Harvard to dox all the students who were members of clubs that signed the recent letter they put out (that basically said that Israel is the aggressor in all of this) so that people could recommend no companies ever hire them.

I don't suppose going to HR about people bringing shit like that into the office is an option?

In terms of some kind grand treaty and international recognition? Not anytime soon. Things are rarely so clear-cut.

However, a lot of occupiers left Israel after these attacks. Those are concrete wins because that is exactly what should be happening. Palestine has little left to lose, this is their home and they are already in concentration camps. Many Israelis have other citizenships and can go back home anytime they want. Who do you think is inclined to fight harder.

I think a better question might be can Israel ever actually win this, and the answers to that is no. Not without a genocide even worse than anything we have ever seen to date. There will always be people willing to fight against the invaders.

Considering they have Americans driving vehicles into Chinese consulates, I would say that their plans are proceeding exactly as they wanted them to.

Sorry for the delay, Al Qaws is the group.

As far as I’m aware they still follow the British criminal code where it was illegal.

There is an advocacy group, so it’s not totally an ignored subject but probably a fairly low priority.

A “senior China correspondent” that cites Radio Free Asia for anything can probably be safely ignored, especially given her history of articles.

Could they? Yes, probably. So could the network providers (which would be more likely and easier). Would they? Ehhh, I feel more likely would be the government trying to mandate surveillance of communications rather than blocking them.

I don't think any company would want to be that overt about trying frankly. While the west is largely not primed for a revolution at this moment, in a hypothetical revoluton I don't think companies would make an overt position like that. It's not like companies would be dismantled overnight normally, they would want to keep existing.

Not only do they not care, they probably see it as a potential propaganda win. If some settlers die in the bombings, they can blame it on the Palestinians for taking them in the first place (if not just outright say they were executed). Any settlers that survive will be seen as a victory.

Is the truth a conspiracy theory now? What are they going to do, carpet-bomb people with an education?
