Her request was denied, but she appealed, arguing that because the new law defines an unborn child as human “from fertilization until birth, including the entire embryonic and fetal stages of development,” her and her husband’s embryos are considered people under Texas law.

I don’t see how frozen embryos aren’t “unborn children” given the way the law is written.

It’s stupid as fuck but that’s what it says.

If this does get thrown out can’t that be used later to show Texas wasn’t actually serious about the definition and abortions may now go forward?

How could Texas have it both ways?

I’m no doctor but I believe testing could verify/falsify health claims. No need to just take people’s word for it.

Billions in aid money has flowed into Gaza.

Evidently it all went to tunnel building and rockets.

Weird genocide where the supposed genocided population grows by several times the world average.

Israeli army appears to be using Gaza hospital, school as bases, Washington Post reports ( www.haaretz.com )

Israeli soldiers appear to be using the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in the Gaza Strip as a br for military operations, and, since March, also a school in the village of Juhor ad Dik, which is located about one kilometer from the border with Israel and was destroyed in the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip, indicated...

The report states that the satellite imagery documents the construction of earth berms around the hospital, which halted operations early in the war

Is now a hospital in name only. /yawn.

Imagine how shitty it would be to make an active hospital a valid military target…

Link to what you're referring to?

Edit:

This is who Israel is fighting. Civilian suffering is the point for Hamas.

GAZA CITY — The emergency room in Shifa Hospital is often a place of gore and despair. On Thursday, it was also a lesson in the way ordinary people are squeezed between suicidal fighters and a military behemoth.

Dr. Awni al-Jaru, 37, a surgeon at the hospital, rushed in from his home here, dressed in his scrubs. But he came not to work. His head was bleeding, and his daughter’s jaw was broken.

He said Hamas militants next to his apartment building had fired mortar and rocket rounds. Israel fired back with force, and his apartment was hit. His wife, Albina, originally from Ukraine, and his 1-year-old son were killed.

“My son has been turned into pieces,” he cried. “My wife was cut in half. I had to leave her body at home.” Because Albina was a foreigner, she could have left Gaza with her children. But, Dr. Jaru lamented, she would not leave him behind.

A car arrived with more patients. One was a 21-year-old man with shrapnel in his left leg who demanded quick treatment. He turned out to be a militant with Islamic Jihad. He was smiling a big smile.

“Hurry, I must get back so I can keep fighting,” he told the doctors.

He was told that there were more serious cases than his, that he needed to wait. But he insisted. “We are fighting the Israelis,” he said. “When we fire we run, but they hit back so fast. We run into the houses to get away.” He continued smiling.

“Why are you so happy?” this reporter asked. “Look around you.”

A girl who looked about 18 screamed as a surgeon removed shrapnel from her leg. An elderly man was soaked in blood. A baby a few weeks old and slightly wounded looked around helplessly. A man lay with parts of his brain coming out. His family wailed at his side.

“Don’t you see that these people are hurting?” the militant was asked.

“But I am from the people, too,” he said, his smile incandescent. “They lost their loved ones as martyrs. They should be happy. I want to be a martyr, too.”

This is clearly a straw man argument and, notably, an avoidance of providing a link to further explain what you're referring to, for some reason.

As my clearly marked edit says, the link and excerpt provided is meant to demonstrate the type of civilian suffering which is the point for Hamas and was clearly not meant as evidence that Hamas was in "this hospital". It's tough to even try to say Hamas was in "this hospital" seeing as you haven't provided any more context for what you're referring to. For some reason.

capital ,

I'm still not clear on what Israeli strike on a hospital you were originally referring to. Feel free to expand on that at any point.

Re: This picture: Refer to my original, top-level comment.

The whole point for keeping military ops out of schools, hospitals, and away from civilians is to not make them a valid target for the opposing force (assuming they bide by these rules, which Hamas does not). If this hospital is now devoid of doctors, patients, and other civilians, what's the issue? It's just a building now.

Your feigned ignorance of how Hamas' whole goal is to inflict as much harm on their own civilians is tiring and the whole reason I posted that 2009 article.

capital ,

I can see I'm not actually going to get any specifics out of you here.

I'll let this exchange speak for itself for those that come by later.

capital ,

Rooting for them but I will not hold by breath.

capital ,

Same. I write in my own name to be sure my vote perfectly aligns with my morals.

I mean sure, I know the person I vote for won’t win but I feel good inside even if women lose even more control over their bodies, GHG emissions get worse than they otherwise would, and Russia gets to do what it wants, etc.

capital ,

Very stupid.

AWS has a holding period after account deletion where nothing is actually deleted, just inaccessible and access can be regained without data loss.

Since first hearing about this I’m wondering how TF Google Cloud doesn’t have a similar SOP.

capital ,

I've run across the latter too.

They're the ones you can't get to admit they're getting one of these whether they like it or not and try to convince others the worse of the two is more desirable for some fucking reason.

But they're "leftists" lol.

capital , (edited )

US conservatives turn EVERYTHING into a culture war.

It gets their base riled up and to the poles polls. They would very much like it if non-conservatives would stay home or vote third party.

capital ,

like myself who say we ought to vote third party

You're exactly who I'm talking about then.

You're getting one of the two in the picture (Dem or Rep nominee). You can help mitigate damage or not. /shrug.

I'll just go ahead and post my next reply now to save us both some time:

"My vote doesn't matter because I'm in a $color state" said millions of people.

capital ,

I’m not sure what about the logic of “we’re getting one of these two” isn’t getting through.

  1. One of these two are going to be elected
  2. One is clearly better than the other
  3. Voting for the better of the two has a chance to mitigate damage and has already proven to be a better choice once before

As soon as #2 stops being true I’ll have to reevaluate.

I will celebrate #1 being false if I ever live to see first past the post die in this country but I’m not holding my breath.

I get over what I wish would happen and deal with facts.

capital ,

Surely some action by the Biden administration is far enough beyond the pale to make you look for a different option, right?

What other option?

This bullshit is exactly what I was talking about. “C’mon, let’s vote third party. I know we can’t win, but morals.”

And elect Trump? Fuck no.

capital ,

Are you referring to the wholly justified war in which our allies regularly warn citizens with loudspeakers, dropped flyers, and phone calls where they’re headed next so civilians can evacuate?

capital ,

Due to this well thought out reply I have reconsidered my position /s

capital ,

Don’t you have a point Biden could cross after which you’d see more utility in building up a third party for next time?

You keep acting as if #1 above won't be true at some nebulous point in the future. Why?

What do you think will happen if trump is declared the loser?

The same thing(s) that happened last time, probably. Rightoids will cry false election, lots of lawsuits, etc.

I started using Pushover to alert me about my backups so I get one of these daily:

I used to send email alerts but this just uses Pushover which is just an API call. Super easy.

No, that stuff they’ll take and sell to citizens.

Commenters in here fully on board with advocating against raw milk because they don’t drink it.

As soon as you advocate against something which is the source of many of our zoonotic diseases they downvote because they do not want to stop eating animals.

People who would downvote the above comment: we see you like you see raw milk drinkers.

Idk I’m a fan of open standards.

Trump promised to scrap climate laws if US oil bosses donated $1bn – report ( www.theguardian.com )

Donald Trump dangled a brazen “deal” in front of some of the top US oil bosses last month, proposing that they give him $1bn for his White House re-election campaign and vowing that once back in office he would instantly tear up Joe Biden’s environmental regulations and prevent any new ones, according to a bombshell new...
