Have driven many thousands of kilometers over my lifetime, sometimes 7 or 8 hours with meal stops, collect/drop-off followed by a return trip. Never ever have I pushed through tiredness or sleepiness. Pull over, have a power nap and keep going (if getting there by a certain date/time is paramount). If it's your job to drive, there's probably a law somewhere that limits the amount of time you're allowed to work in straight continuous hours. Some countries I know of expect 8 hours work days with a maximum of 16 hours continuous work, then an obligatory 8 hours rest. If you do more, you can get fired. If your boss makes you do it, you can sue the business. Anyways, this is definitely one of those things you don't want to find out what happens when it goes wrong.

The beheaded babies thing was blown out of proportion. One official reporter on the ground interviewed some IDF soldiers who said witnessed many families slaughtered in their homes, some beheaded including babies. She asked him how many and he said around 40 in that village. She then wrote the piece contain the incorrect claim. I do sympathise with you in the sense that the pro-Israelis took that 40 beheaded babies thing way too far and they should, at minimum, retract such claims in their news outlets. Now, this one wrongly interpreted claim does NOT mean civilians weren't targeted inside their homes and slaughtered, tortured, burnt, you name it. Hamas did NOT target military or essential services sites (like their electric grid or water supplies). They targeted civilians who could not defend themselves. If that's not terrorism, I don't know what is... Did you see the clip where a member of Hamas is walking through that party place and is shooting each portable toilet to kill anyone hiding inside them? What do you think of that? There were many non-Israelis present at that event. Do they get to the right to criticise Hamas?

Do you need more evidence than a live Al jazeera video stream showing the rockets being launched from within Gaza? Or the multiple other video angles of the same event captured by CCTV camera systems around the area? What evidence would convince you that the rocket came from Hamas?

Free Palestine, fuck Hamas

My comment was about how political extremism pushes societies so far to one end of the scale that it is inevitable that will swing the other way eventually. It has happened repeatedly during history and Argentina is not an isolated case. If the "far-right" candidate is elected (as it happened in Brasil with Bolsonaro for example) it could be the result of that, of the left pushing too far and Argentinians wanting "change". I don't condone it, it's just a pattern that's observable.

Now, you don't seem to (and many others who downvotes my comment) bother and look at my commented for its merits. You prefer to appease the mob in this bubble to make you feel good (maybe, I don't know) and I don't care. It is quite alright for people to not agree with each other and, to me, that's the only way we can all improve. You didn't care for any of it, you cursed me as if you have a moral high ground here. This is just a bubble, just like reddit id another bubble, and Facebook and X and so on. You fit in this bubble and good for you I say. I don't fit and that's fine too, but I do have the right to my opinion and so I will stand by it.

Thanks for showing how disrespectful your side can be and now I know exactly who I'm dealing with. Have a good day! =)

Nothing will happen to him. He served a purpose and his dealings got Lula back to presidency. Him or Lula are not the ones calling the shots here, if you believe that the "polarisation" is what drives their decisions, you're part of the mob.

 

hey, how do I login to my lemmy.world profile if I have 2FA enabled? thanks!
