Have you read through their case? It's pretty weak in my opinion. They seem to think that any war with a high number of casualties and insufficient humanitarian aid counts as genocide. By their standard the US committed "genocide" against Japan in WW2, arguably Germany too.

The irony of this is that it only affects the Arabic speaking population, which for the most part already supports the Palestinian side.

Their methodology seems really flawed. They cherry picked a thousand instances of wrongly removed content, but how many posts do you think there are about the conflict on Facebook and Instagram? Tens of millions? They have no way of knowing how representative that sample is.

HRW has a reputation for being biased against Israel: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Human_Rights_Wa... . Regardless of whether that's true, it could explain why pro-Israel folks wouldn't want to engage with them.

What bothers me about this isn't that he was committed to a "hospital" (read: jail for mentally ill people).

What bothers me is that the sentence is indefinite. The judge can give him a life sentence for what wouldn't normally justify a life sentence because he's calling it "medicine". The hospital commitment shouldn't be able to last longer than the sentence he would receive if he was neurotypical.

It's pretty simple actually. US schools are run at the local level, not the national level. So different school districts (a district is usually the size of a town or county) get different amounts of funding.

You could argue they're enabling it, but not that they're pushing for it. Ukraine and Israel both have more will to fight than the US does.

For Android development SO is pretty useless. I often find answers on there from <=2015. That's when Android 6 came out, its way too old to be relevant. But if you try to re-ask the same question they mark it as a duplicate.

To get $8400 on 2% cash back, you'd have to spend $420,000.

I would be expect the result to be zero because companies respond to financial incentives, not cultural "movements". Do you really think driving to an office will stop this?

One of the things I absolutely love about my current job is not having to use agile. I didn't realize what a massive waste of time it was at my last two jobs because I'd never experienced not having to use it. If I switch jobs in the future, I'll definitely try and push management/product to try not using it.

So a quote from a movie is your counterargument?

Well that's a stretch. The original quote says it's linked to the _trafficking_ of drugs, not just drug use. If this is the only link, they're being intentionally misleading.

Does the average non-lawyer know when they're obligated to answer the police? I don't think I do.

Is there a typo in here? Your first comment contradicts your second.

How does that description necessarily not meet that definition? The UP said nothing about whether the person in the job is obligated to pretend that the job is important.

Plus everyone is giving slightly different definitions of a bullshit job. It smells of a Motte and bailey fallacy.

Can science even prove such as thing? Saying "there is no self" doesn't seem like a scientific claim to me. It seems more like a philosophical question. The fact that scientists don't agree on a particular center of the brain which corresponds to a "self function" doesn't mean that science "proves" the self doesn't exist.
