It’s a crane to lift you up!

They were apologizing to Shizuo Aishima, one of three executives […] who were wrongfully arrested and charged in 2020 with the unauthorized export of sensitive industrial equipment.

Aishima […] was diagnosed with stomach cancer while he was detained. His lawyer filed bail requests eight times in hopes of getting Aishima proper medical care, but all were denied.

Aishima was finally sent to an outside hospital but it was too late for treatment. He died in February 2021 at 72, five months before prosecutors dropped the charges against him and two other company executives.

[…]

The company officials consistently denied that their equipment was subject to export restrictions. Prosecutors eventually dropped their case in July 2021, saying there were doubts if there was any illegality involved.

You shouldn’t get the privilege to issue an apology to this man at his grave. Get the fuck out of there, stop defiling his grave with your presence, and pray for him from jail on your own and not as a choreographed spectacle for the media if it really soothes your bastard conscience.

Oh yeah?? Where’s your evidence? Have any scientific literature you’d like to share with the class? Well then I’ll be at the intertidal zone setting up my classroom.

I like to pride myself on being knowledgeable enough to clarify and expand on carcinology topics on Lemmy, but I don’t know enough about crab neuroscience to know how effective this would be. I’m sorry, Lemmy.

^hearsay*

I for one agree that what’s being done is unjustified. Bolsonaro doesn’t belong cooped up in his house like some kind of animal. He belongs hanging in the public square like treasonous, seditious, fascist filth.

The 12% were charged for the war crimes not being severe enough.

This man looks like the evil Karl Jobst.

KeePassXC, my beloved.

Yeah, because you posted this six hours ago when their frontpage headline on this was 15 hours ago: “Israeli fire kills 67 people seeking aid in Gaza, medics say, as hunger worsens”. And the current second-top news story on their website is “Israel sends tanks into Gaza’s Deir al-Blaah, hostage families concerned”. Front page of the AP includes “UK, France and 23 other countries say the war in Gaza ‘must end now’”. Gaza is damn-near always frontpage news.

Did you even follow the link in my comment you replied to where I showed articles published that day from several of the most prominent news organizations on Earth about Palestinians starving?

It seems like @[email protected] is the only active mod of this comm. Plausible it slipped past them. So in the event 1) the rules are actually enforced with literally any consistency and 2) jordan notices, it ought to be removed quickly. As best I can tell, our OP who was too lazy to just post one of the mountain of news articles lucked out.

It is. The OP just didn’t give enough of a shit to actually post it here.

I don’t know why the opinion of the owner of newsweek and similar yellow press should decide what is posted here and what not.

Alright, instead of falling for a farcical red herring and debating the merits of a Mastodon post as “self published opinion news”, I’ll cut to the heart of the matter: what the fuck are you talking about?

• Palestinians describe choice between starvation and risking death to get food aid in Gaza from PBS News two hours ago
• Updates: 18 in Gaza die from starvation in one day amid Israeli blockade from Al Jazeera today
• Four-year-old girl dies of hunger in Gaza as Israel throttles food supply from CNN today
• Malnutrition reaches new heights in Gaza, children most affected from the Agence France-Presse today
• Pope condemns Gaza war’s ‘barbarity’ as 85 reported killed while waiting for food from The Guardian today
• Officials say 85 Palestinians seeking aid are killed in Gaza as Israel widens evacuation orders from the Associated Press today
• Nearly 100 people killed seeking aid in Gaza on Sunday, Palestinian officials say from NPR today
• Israel fire kills dozens more aid seekers in Gaza, medics say, as hunger worsens from USA Today today
• Israeli Troops Kill Dozens Seeking Food Near Border, Gazan Officials Say from The New York Times today

And that’s just about the starvation and just from today and just that short because I couldn’t be bothered to spend more than five minutes looking. All of these sources are allowed here; none of them are yellow press. Quit your bullshit; nobody’s gatekeeping this, and if they were, it wouldn’t be Newsweek et al.

I would like to see Newsweek blacklisted here too. Would you like to advocate for that, or would you like to sit around and whataboutism for a Mastodon post that you’re trying to dishonestly distort into a “self published opinion news story”?

And even if you’re seriously going to pretend you buy your own “card says moops” bullshit when you say that, what do you have to say to the final bullet point of Rule 1 that disallows links to other social media “like Twitter”?

Dude, I don’t even have the bandwidth to translate this comment into a coherent English paragraph. As best I can tell, it’s just a bizarre strawman about banning(???) instead of removing an off-topic post, and it’s done as a deflection from you “not having the bandwidth” (read: being unable because you know it was nonsense) to justify why you called it “card says moops”.

Are you referring to the actual Seinfield scene or the Alt-Right Playbook video? I can’t figure it out because they’re equally irrelevant.

Dude, the person you’re replying to has lost the fucking plot. What a baffling Lemmy history. It’s like the linked shit take was grown in a lab to be optimally shit: any less and it’s less shit, any more and it’s less plausible someone believes this, making it less shit.

Okay, so it can go in one of the like 500 communities where this is relevant. If it’s bigger than the rules, why did OP, with one exception, choose to do none of that and instead exclusively post it into news communities where it’s not supposed to be? Where it will quickly get removed?

“This is bigger than the rules”, I say like a jackass, as I go post this into a community about artisinal cheeses.

Fuck Israel. They are committing genocide through starvation. That’s why this deserves to go somewhere it’s actually supposed to be, and OP knows where those places are.

OP, literally Rule 1 bullet point 1 of this comm. This is a community for news articles.

I don’t think most kids would pick up on that kind of nuance (or even most adults), but I agree there’s a valid interpretation that you’re pledging allegience to the Constitution – the Republic – and thus “indivisibility, liberty, and justice”. That is: you remain allegiant to the Constitution. But the current pledge has so much wrong with it that it’s cult-like.

• Obviously get “under God” the hell out of there. Cold War-era reactionary trash.
• There’s no reason to assume from the literal text that what I said is true. Why not just focus on the principles?
• It’s a waste of time for kids to recite a dumb pledge they barely understand; granted they can’t force you and a lot of schools IIRC don’t do that anymore.
• Even if the interpretation is true, why should this specific system of government be so glorified?
• Get it the fuck out of there. It was introduced 100 years after the formation of the US by a Civil War officer as propaganda for children – probably paranoid out of his fucking mind after the South seceded. There’s no reason kids can’t learn to think for themselves when they’re ready to actually understand these ideas.
