Well actually guy: there is only ever one embassy per country. The other ones would be consulates.

I would like to get hold of a single academic paper without paying some exploitative corporation $25.

Watching an old episode of “Law & Order: SVU” which involved abortion and one of the lawyers said to the other, with maximum sarcasm, “As far as I know ‘Roe v. Wade’ hasn't been REPEALED, counsellor!”.
Oof.

I hope you realise I'm not being "just asking questions" guy, I'm just looking at the actual evidence. Four things that are actual facts:
1) Lots of people think the red-hand symbol is based on the Ramallah 2000 incident; it seems obvious to them.
2) I can't find a source which is reliable for that belief or has any sound basis in fact.
3) One source put forward as "proof" doesn't even make the claim, simply says it's a possibility.
4) The other source does make that claim, but it also makes other claims which are so wild and outlandish that you don't even believe them yourself.

You:

@npub1j8m…v5r7 @npub13kj…r6qw
Which actual proposition are we discussing right now?
• red hands symbol represents the red hands of people who had murdered Jews in that incident
or
• red hands symbol represents the severed hand of a Jew killed in that incident?
Because they're both being claimed now.

@npub13kj…r6qw @npub1j8m…v5r7
Am I serious that I carefully read the other article you linked to, and reported that it does not definitively state the proposition at stake here?
Yes. I read it and it says:
“when I see the Artists for Ceasefire pins with the red hand on it – that’s what I think about. I can’t NOT think about it.
And I wonder if the designers knew about this story. I wonder if they knew but didn’t care. I wonder, also, if it was done on purpose… I’d like to think it wasn’t, but I wonder…”
so clearly that article does NOT make that claim, quite the opposite. You've now posted another article. I guess I'll go and read that one carefully too, hope that's OK.

@npub13kj…r6qw @npub1j8m…v5r7
This article doesn't say that the red hands symbol derives from this incident, right?
It simply raises it as a possibility.

Someone on Reddit asserted confidently that it comes from pioneer days when people didn't have scales and therefore had to use 'cup' of water and 'stick' of butter etc.
The main thing about that is, it sounds like total bullshit.

• The billboard says the US stands together with Israel. That's why it was vandalised.
• You mentioned North Korea.
• There are no billboards saying the US stands together with North Korea so nobody can criticise North Korea by vandalising such a billboard.
These are just simple facts.

I assumed you wouldn't back down. What you're saying isn't just offensive, it's also nonsense, because 'selling your labour to an employer' isn't the only choice, even in capitalist society. Again, shame on you.

@npub15th…6nvx
This is offensive, and diminishes the true horror of ACTUAL slavery. Human beings were bought and sold like animals. Their owners could mutilate and kill them, the way humans can have pets put down. It was all legal. This is not a good comparison, in any way, for "individuals being bound to sell their labour". It is shameful to make that comparison.

I absolutely agree that ChatGPT can't do math but just to be clear, you think 2 added to itself 100 times is 478?

@npub1vcl…k6t3 Isn't that what multiplication is? '2 x 100' is just the short form of '2 added to itself 100 times'. What's the right answer? I'm genuinely confused.

They should still publish it, but donate a sum equal to his payment to an appropriate charity.
Also they should publish it in white text on a white background so nobody can read it.

Settle in while I tell you the long, complex story of how I found the right #Mastodon server for me, despite the terrible complexity of such decisions which makes it so hard:
• There was a list of servers
• One of the servers on the list said it was for people like me
• That's it

And also punishment for inviting bad people. From today if you invited someone who got banned or “actioned”, the BlueSky algorithm will exclude you from being Hot. Or if they invited you.
