Just passing through.
That policeman said Mr. Cool If you’re not drunk then you’re a fool I said if that’s against the law Tell me why I never saw A man locked in that jail of yours Who wasn’t just as lowdown poor as me
Later on in live version’s he’d change the last line to “who wasn’t either black or as poor as me”.
I mean… yeah, I do believe their bombing of Gaza is also extremely targeted.
It’s just a question of who you target.
Well, considering the ongoing genocide has been a “dangerous situation with a high risk of escalation” for almost a year now, it’s not very surprising their state-sponsored terrorist attack is merely a James Bond-esque intelligence strategy.
Amazing - I read skimmed through the Wikipedia site for Swatting and tried to search online for it happening other places, but I couldn’t watch a video while commenting so I didnt watch the source.
Fantastic case in point.
Still I struggle to understand how it’s possible.
How the fuck can Swatting be such a common thing in America. I have never heard about it in any other country.
(This is, of course, a rhetorical question. I know the answer is that American police is beyond incompetent.)
Edit: Oops, read comments below
I guess they would want some cybersecurity software like Crowdstrike in either case? If so, this could probably have happened on any system, as it’s a bug in third party software that crashes the computer.
Not that I know much about this, but if this leads to a push towards Linux it would be if companies already wanted to make the switch, but were unwilling because they thought they needed Crowdstrike specifically. This might lead them to consider alternative cybersecurity software.
Yeah, it runs like a charm on my T14s. No that I’ve tried much else.
The vikings got a bit of a bad reputation, probably in large part because they were not too popular amongst munks in England (who were avid writers). Sure, there was raping and plundering, but not necessarily so much worse than other peoples, and there was also trade and coexistence. We had particularly close relations to Scotland, and England is hardly in the position to accuse anyone else of plundering! ;)
Fun fact about the word viking: It literally means someone from a “vik”, which is contemporary Norwegian for a cove. More traditionally, it’s a dwelling by the coast, which explains the many -wich-towns in northern UK: The vikings would settle, usually for salt supplies, and name the place something ending with -vik.
So a Viking is not a job description as much as someone dwelling by the sea!
Norwegians are generally leaning pro-Palestine.
In a recent survey, 46% of Norwegians responded that they have more sympathy with Palestinians, whereas only 12% have more sympathy with Israelis. 32% responded that their sympathy with Palestinians has increased in light of recent events.
I can imagine several reasons why Norway is so different from for example Germany and France in this regard.
One is that we have a pretty well-organized civil society, including an organized Jewish community that is actively outspoken about Israeli extremism. My impression is that leading voices in the Mosaic community in Norway are frequently outspoken on the side of humanity.
Another reason is of course that we are still bitter about the collapse of the Oslo Accords. There’s simply no question Israel were the ones who killed it.
Even before this, Israel might have had less goodwill in Norway following the Lillehammer affair where Mossad murdered some random waiter who was on his way home from the cinema with his pregnant wife. One of the agents involved in placing 13 bullets in Ahmed Bouchikhi has since stated that they knew they were shooting the wrong man.
More importantly however, it probably relates to the story we tell ourselves as a nation.
We’re in all likelihood prouder of our war efforts than most of Europe, and certainly more than pro-Israeli countries like Germany and France. A lot of us (myself included) have family members who helped Jews flee the country following the occupation, at the risk of death penalty should they get caught.
The author of our national anthem took active part in the Dreyfus affair, among other things writing in a French newspaper that the French government was the “most shameless of any civilized people”.
Other important national poets dedicated their lives to giving Jews right to statehood, wrote poems urging people to wake the fuck up to the horrors of nazism, or died bombing Berlin.
These people, among others, make up the core of what we consider Norwegian national identity. As a result the average Norwegian might be less afraid of criticizing Israel than the average German (or French), as we consider ourselves to be firmly footed on the right side of history.
Of course, history is more complicated than that. A lot of us will simply not read Hamsun, and never mind that Jews had to be allowed into the Kingdom in the first place. History is complicated, but the stories we choose to tell and the ways we choose to frame them matters a lot.
Also, Norwegians are pretty left-leaning, and we put a lot of effort promoting ourselves as a peace nation. Probably doesn’t hurt either.
Spain has been rallying for this for months! They’re pulling their weight in this issue.
@NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social It’s a Kbin.social issue, signups are a bit too open and moderation cannot keep up. :/
Sounds like you’ve had too much internet.
Either that, or you have a fascination for human suffering. Which you might want to see a therapist about if you can afford it.
In either case, signing off and doing something you enjoy offline might be a good idea. I’d take to the mountains, but that’s just me.
