  2. #israel #palestine : #westbank / #arbitrary / #housedemolition / #video

    „Israel’s military has demolished a home in the occupied West Bank, days after a lawyer confirmed a court order protected it from #demolition. Built in 2016 through Israel’s own permit process, it was home to two Palestinian families, including eight children. Al Jazeera’s Leila Warah explains.“

  3. Of course, the host country of the #WorldCup must commit to #FIFA that it will allow fans to enter the country and will not make #arbitrary, racist decisions about who is allowed to enter. Unfortunately, however, FIFA is far too #corrupt to enforce this rule against #Trump.

  4. Once again, the U.S. is acting as the world’s policeman, while overlooking the fact that equality before the law is a fundamental democratic principle. So why aren’t American war crimes being investigated first?

    “My message today is clear: The United States and President Trump does not — and will not — forget its citizens,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said at a ceremony in Miami. “We also do not forget the families, the loved ones, and the friends who have carried grief and heartache for 30 years.”

    If the judiciary is merely a pawn of politics, then that is no longer a democratic state governed by the rule of law.

  13. That dangerous pair
    #Arbitrary and Capricious
    are at it again

    These twins
    roll rambunctious
    riding the tsunami
    of unpredictability
    much to the chagrin
    of the rigid controlling forces
    who demand thought uniformity

    Conflict in this contentious
    flammable environment
    is a friction certainty

    "#Trump Team’s $500 Million Bet on Old Vaccine Technology Puzzles Scientists"

    "Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shifted the money from a pandemic preparedness fund to a vaccine development program led by two scientists whom the administration recently named to senior positions at the National Institutes of Health.

    "While some experts were pleased that Kennedy had supported any vaccine project, they said the May 1 announcement contravened sound scientific policy, appeared #arbitrary, and raised the kinds of questions about #conflictsofinterest that have dogged many of President Donald Trump’s actions.

    "Focusing vast resources on a single vaccine candidate “is a little like going to the Kentucky Derby and putting all your money on one horse,” said William Schaffner, a Vanderbilt University professor and past president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. “In #science we normally put money on a number of different horses because we can’t be entirely sure who’s going to win.”

  22. CW: Fascism is already here (?) and all people support it (?) (willing or not ?)

    @freemo @selea Ok freemo you just 'struck' gold there for me as I was just thinking of and about to draw (perhaps more likely when we talk about it) about that... and "what it takes for fascism" basically to grow in diagram.

    Because it's already here and wouldn't take much to take over since people are so embedded and feeding so much already from the underlying uncaring / financial people (banks as root of all life).

    Perhaps we could both draw something (and maybe support the other) which also ties in the other question I asked yesterday before you had to run out the door (and you asked for reminder about that so here's that also!)

    So it means for me that even if people wanted to, they would find it hard not to feed / go with #fascism because of existing things like:

    a) their existing habits, savings and consumptions from who they don't know they are dealing with in longer chains 🏦 Banks and being able to see what negative maths is doing to populations.

    b) all life so based on banks that this is possibly the basis of almost all fascism [based on the #authority of wanting more #money back than given AND re-loaning people's savings, up to 9/10 times, which is the erroneous maths / injustice (to #reality / #nature / #climate not just #people) each time by a #Bank.

    People need to try 'find' that loan in form of their energy (chopping away at nature for example) to replace the debt given as loans - so #banks want back more and then that that debt or all money is meanwhile is being re-loaned again erroneously / as injustice / in equality continues to all people. The loan itself is one of the weaponised tools since normally one can't magically re-loan 9:1 anything and get such power / energy back from people and once you start negative-directed maths, it's hard to stop when attached to life itself .

    So it is false power that Banks have from Government as authoritarian / hierarchical group opposed to things anywhere near democrasy / libertarianism etc and therein the power is maintained based on that way of injustice / reloaning and similar tools given to people after already trapping them in the worse of games.

    It's the normal things people do / take blind eye to as they don't understand fascism or why it's always coming back over and over again, and in end-games the same similar positions happen (such as police again public, banks and government forcefully re-claiming money in people's #account etc, remotely controlling numbers / inflation / fees etc)...

    Fascism in all it's black and white is like binary numbers and ultimatums...

    And for the people, #Money is most certainly a sacred thing to most who even unknowingly protect fascism or the bad game as their life ultimately (or as ultimatum 🔫 ) falls back on finance, which mostly 'gives' it for it's empire to grow from banks devaluing and diluting the money (from day 1 of paying for any money and over time).,

    Financial-fascism is the method and people behind what is opposed to equality and equalising class not just democracy or liberalism with it :nes_fire:

  23. @fabian

    It's #arbitrary, not #random. Those don't mean the same thing; set.pop() is completely deterministic, but how an item is actually chosen is unspecified and could vary between implementations (or even sessions of the interpreter).

    If you need actual randomness to pick a sub-set, use the random module's choices(), shuffle(), sample() etc to extract your subset.

  25. Why can't I fix this myself and buy a #Computer, you wonder? Because I know what money IS. What it PHYSICALLY IS. Money used to get its value from gold, y'know, a SHINY STONE, but then in 1971 the #SmithsonianAgreement was signed at #BrettonWoods (CITATION UNAVAILABLE BECAUSE IT'S BEEN HIDDEN—THE WANNABE OVERLORDS KNOW THAT IT REPRESENTS THE FACT MONEY IS #MEANINGLESS AND #ARBITRARY AND NO LAW OF PHYSICS MEAN A LACK OF IT SHOULD HAVE ANY EFFECT) and that removed its value completely.

  28. Whether something happened "on this day" in history seems very arbitrary to me. If we lived on any other planet, with any other length year, it wouldn't even be "on this day". Even on this planet, if you use any of the multiple lunar calendars commonly used instead of the Gregorian Calendar, it wouldn't be "on this day".

    A high-severity #vulnerability has been #fixed in #WinRAR, the popular file archiver utility for Windows used by millions, that can execute commands on a computer simply by opening an archive.

    The flaw is tracked as CVE-2023-40477 and could give
    #remote attackers #arbitrary #code #execution on the target system after a specially crafted RAR file is opened.
    WinRAR users are strongly advised to apply the available #security #update immediately.

  31. Why the hell are #chess tournaments segregated by #gender? I understand (but don't necessarily agree with) gender segregation in #physical #competitions, but there's no #physicality involved in playing chess. #Quadriplegics can play chess just as well as those with all of their faculties. Segregating chess by gender seems completely #arbitrary, and unnecessary.
