All the consulted experts on the source agree that this wasn't an airstrike. Most of the consulted experts agree that it was fired from inside Palestinian territory. No consulted experts agree this was an airstrike. No consulted expert

Sure, here you go: Not only every expert consulted by every journal agreed that the explosion was not even caused by an airstrike, but they also agreed it was caused by a projectile launched from Palestinian territory. https://en

This is a non exhaustive list of news where the BBC started by blaming Israel of some war crime since the October 7th massacre occurred, and then had to remove, recant or apologize about after overwhelming evidence against it came to light:

From what I’ve been seeing lately: “If buying isn’t owning, then pirating isn’t stealing.” I holeheartedly agree with it. I used to have a Netflix subscription until about 3 years ago. Then, the quantity and quality of content got so bad, I

A very interesting tidbit of information I’ve only learned/realized when I was already an adult, is that many otherwise plain flowers have really intricate patterns in the ultraviolet, since some insects see in that spectrum.

1st: you claimed Israel was carrying out ethnic cleansing since 1948. You are now trying to mix words, but when you do ethnic cleaning, you carry out genocide. You were caught in your dog whistle and then tried to get out of it with semanti

Interesting that for me ibuprofen doesn’t do absolutely anything (and I’m someone that avoided painkillers almost all my life) I take 1g pills and nothing. Well, not nothing, my stomach clearly doesn’t like it and I feel it. Human pain and

Let me re-iterate as well. Yes, it's completely bonkers. Starting by the fact that these descendants have now a much higher living standard than if their ancestor was left in the respective African country they originated from, where t

The idea of giving all the descendants of someone that lived hundreds of years ago some form of compensation because 1/32nd (or much lower) of their ancestors was harmed in some way, is completely bonkers for me. Virtue signaling at it

This might be illegal, but in my country, having loudspeakers on the beach or public transportation is also illegal (carrying heavy fines) and the police doesn’t seem to care at all. So, I’m probably going to make myself one of these and ca

No, the total is 49.50%. 49.50% of the Population in Portugal doesn't work and needs to be supported by those who work. And there are 6 millions capable of working between the ages of 20-65. Of those, only 5 millions work. So, you need

Exactly, that's my point. AI will not replace the workers, they will migrate to other jobs, like it happened during the Industrial Revolution. People will continue working.

No, it's 5 out of 10 not working if you count everyone. What I'm saying is that even among those that are the population that can work, more than 1 out of 10 are also not working. So yeah, every worker, is not supporting himself a

According to the official Portuguese data, 700000 persons between the age of 25 to 65 are not working. So, more than 11.5% of the population between those ages already - population between 20-65 is 6 millions. So, get this correctly. More t
