Rest in peace

He is Butcher Biden

PanArab ,

No, leftists are protesting the genocide. Liberals aren’t leftists.

PanArab ,

It is still super hard to get

PanArab ,

You are right, I haven't checked for a while, I thought it was still unavailable. I ordered one yesterday.

PanArab ,

The US will, sooner or later, learn the same lesson all empires learnt before: No matter how mighty you are, some regional power somewhere will be beyond your control.

This assumption is almost universal yet has been disproven time and time again, particularly in the Middle East.

You are welcome.

PanArab ,

The lesser of two evils

PanArab ,

Cognitive dissonance, otherwise they must admit that the Biden is a genocidal maniac. But since that admission will lead to uncomfortable conclusions perhaps even tankieism, it is best to imagine Biden playing some complex anti-genocide game behind the scenes despite all evidence and remain blissfully liberal. You don't want Trump to win do you?

PanArab ,

US companies internationally will still struggle though. Might even make the US car market even more of a galapagos.

Technically there are many people who speak Latin natively, it is just that it is very late (too late?) Latin.

Python is great, but stuff like this just drives me up the wall ( lemmy.world )

Explanation: Python is a programming language. Numpy is a library for python that makes it possible to run large computations much faster than in native python. In order to make that possible, it needs to keep its own set of data types that are different from python's native datatypes, which means you now have two different bool...

PanArab ,

Why use bool when you can use int?

just never true 0

PanArab ,

At this rate Saudi Arabia will beat Japan on EVs. A very big claim but I have cause to believe it.

PanArab ,

Lucid already started making EVs in Saudi Arabia. And they also have investments in Human Horizons and an EV manufacturing deal with Hyundai.

PanArab ,

It is if you needed to collect taxes and wanted a way to measure 📐

Who votes for this monster?

How Zionism became a synonym for violence and oppression ( www.theguardian.com )

For decades, Joe Biden has proudly declared that he is a Zionist, and he has repeated that claim since Hamas’s 7 October attacks on Israel. But for the student anti-war protests gripping the US, the words “Zionist” and “Zionism” have become a watchword – pejorative and emblematic of the violent state policies driving...

PanArab ,

It always has been.

PanArab ,

They built it to be another Twitter.

PanArab ,

Unless it is pro-Palestinian speech of course

UN votes to back Palestinian membership, prompting Israeli envoy to shred charter ( www.theguardian.com )

The UN general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to back the Palestinian bid for full UN membership, in a move that signalled Israel’s growing isolation on the world stage amid global alarm over the war in Gaza and the extent of the humanitarian crisis in the strip. The move drew an immediate rebuke from Israel. Its envoy to...

Imagine thinking all Palestinians are hardened Islamists. Prejudice and ignorance much?

Saudi Arabia has a higher legal marriage age (18) than many Western states. And that’s one thing of many that it does right for women.

Edit: it looks like most European states also have it at 18. It is only the some states in the USA that are doing it wrong.

PanArab , (edited )

Israel is a pariah state the region has been cursed with

The UN had no right to divide Palestine and give the Zionist invaders any part of it.

PanArab ,

They don't see us as humans

PanArab ,

Sooner than later I hope. The genocide in Gaza proves the liberal international order isn't working and needs to go away.

PanArab ,

This is one case where better the devil you don't know.

You don’t say…

At Least 37 Million People Have Been Displaced by America’s War on Terror

PanArab ,

France helped Israel develop its nuclear weapons. It will take much more than a condemnation from France.

    They are a long way from done. Likud has its roots in Revisionist Zionism, and Israeli society and politics has shifted even further right.

    PanArab ,

    Taxes are not socialism

    PanArab ,

    French manufacturers have been moving to Morocco. I hope this accelerates.

    Algeria is now the second largest supplier of natural gas to Europe.

    All in all, good news. Not for Europe though.

    PanArab ,

    Not just copium, but Moroccan and Algerian tankies are benefiting from this too.

    I think they meant the destruction of Carthage something I am still sore about

    PanArab ,

    I agree, and your question is valid. It is a general humanitarian concern. We are all equally humans. But Zionists have multiple times used Arabs’ and Muslims’ governments failure to act and failure to be principled against the occupation as arguments against the rights of Palestinians.

    PanArab ,

    China xenophobic? I don’t think Biden knows what the word means. The oldest mosque outside of the Middle East is in China of all places built in 627 CE, and still standing.

    What happened to the mosques in Spain and Occupied Palestine? Turned into bars and chicken coops.

    PanArab ,

    I lived there for four years. Nice and friendly people. Never felt unsafe.

    PanArab ,

    still a higher standard than many modern Western states such as Israel, or a modern democracy such as India, if the Chinese were xenophobic they could have demolished the mosque at any point in history, they didn't

    PanArab ,

    dynasties and ideologies came and went in China and the mosques still stand

    what happened to mosques in Spain? what is happening to mosques in Occupied Palestine and India right now?

    Islam is xeno (foreign) to China and yet you have mosques from the 7th and 8th centuries still standing

    otherwise you’re treated like the Uighurs.

    here's an interesting fact, they are the only Turkic people who still use their centuries old script, and haven't been secularized and westernized unlike Turks in the former USSR or Turkiye.

    The issue for the Uyghurs is separatism, not Islam or culture in particular. No nation will tolerate separatists. https://dkiapcss.edu/college/publications/uyghur-muslim-ethnic-separatism-in-xinjiang-china/
    https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/east-turkestan-islamic-movement-etim

    The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation report on the Uyghur did not find anything concerning, though the OIC has been criticized by Western rights groups. Interestingly, when it comes to Palestine the situation is reversed, where the OIC is speaking up but Western rights groups have been mostly silent. It is confusing seeing Anthony Blinken criticize China for the alleged genocide of Uyghurs, I haven't seen any images or videos that suggest it is real, but unabashedly defend Israel's actions which are clear and evident genocide.

    PanArab ,

    Did you put effort into learning Japanese? I didn't experience any exclusion.

    PanArab ,

    True. But I did mention that they were also friendly. I had no issue getting into all sorts of activities with them. From playing the Shamisen to practicing Sadō. I had lots of friends who would help me out in all sorts of things, such as the University entrance exam, moving stuff, and translation.

    I'm speaking of my experiences of course. I come from a different cultural background (Arab). I lived in both the US and Japan, and in almost all aspects except employment and income, I prefer Japan. Your mileage may vary.

    PanArab ,

    Have you lived there? Not my experience. I felt like I was welcomed. I was welcomed into their cultural activities, I was welcomed into their homes. I did put effort into learning the language and the culture, and followed their norms to the best I can.

    PanArab ,

    EVs are cheaper to fill up than internal combustion engine cars, even in oil rich countries - Changan Eado EV, 9 Saudi Riyal (2.4USD) to drive 460km (287.5miles) - . I want to get an EV eventually, I just want to know how well can they handle +50C temperatures.
