According to the debate, they had their reasons. But still – when one hundred and eighty six nations say one thing, and two say another, you have to wonder about the two.
When even the most reviled dictatorships in the world are voting in favour of the UN recognising food as a right, it sure does make the US look uniquely scummy.
when one hundred and eighty six nations say one thing, and two say another, you have to wonder about the two.
Especially when those two are consistently on the wrong side of such votes.
UN resolution A/RES/75/169: Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance
- US and Turkey are only votes against, Israel didn’t vote. (You’d think Israel might care more about Nazis but I guess not)
UN resolution A/78/L.5: Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba
- US and Israel are the only votes against ending the embargo.
I could go on, but this pattern holds across numerous issues. USA and Israel’s governments are fucking monsters.
Another lie: https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3949735 Israel was in favour, the us and Ukraine were against and quite a list abstained
you know this is public information, right?
That’s A/76/460, which the person you’re replying to did not mention, and which had the abstains and votes against because of the political context, aka being proposed by russia while they were leading an offensive war under the pretense of denazification. You know that’s public information too, right?
Are we the baddies?
(I still can’t post images to lemmy.blahaj.zone)
But you can to imgur, grab the direct image URL and then embed it as such:
And to make a button:
[](on-click destination URL)
In this case the image is just 0.9kB, so to save an unnecessary request to Imgur, I used data URI with base64. You can’t do this with larger images due to comment size limitations. Just imagine a normal URL in there.
Thank you. I would like to avoid getting an imagur account.
That just may mean less engagement in Lemmy from this Lemming.
The whole images database debacle with Lemmy is kind of a big deal, and I have never seen an announcement about it, but I’m on team turning it off on a small instance like blahaj.zone. It’s too much data and this instance is too small to afford that kind of server space. Plus, unless things have changed, there is basically no real server panel for controlling the image database and admins basically have to manage it manually. Which is something that is pretty daunting for some admins.
So yeah, fuck the image support, use imgur, if you’re a blahaj user.
Let’s vote right to exist next!
Fucking hell this is the strongest argument I’ve seen thus far that I need to get out of the US. What the hell.
