Wow lucky you! I wish I'd had the same experience :(


You took an adversarial position; I put in the hour or two required to make the jobs of those with thankless jobs, easier. Perhaps you tried to work with them at the start but your terse post does not suggest that, it suggests that you demanded satisfaction.


Do you need visa sponsorship OP? That might be making things substantially tougher


Time to smash offshoring too. Any American company that offshores jobs should be delisted from all American stock exchanges and banned from doing business in the United States.


I'm not sure how you implement this such that it couldn't quickly be worked around.


Isn't the Prime Minister of Israel wanted by the Hague?


He is, but many heads of state already declared they are going to ignore that should Netanjahu fancy a visit.

The hypocrisy is stunning.


you say "many" but other than "fotzenfrize" Merz who declared this?


France apparently allowed several times the suspect to fly over its territory without arresting him, for instance.


France has a deep history and Macron doesn't want to do anything except raise the defense budget, because that's the best way to avoid problems: condemn violence but don't participate and stay alert.


The US isn't a member of the ICC. Clinton signed it, but the senate never ratified the treaty.

Hamas leaders are being killed faster then the ICC can get them. That is the ICC's fault of course.


There were zero dead Hamas leaders on Oct 8, but the ICC did nothing, and did not care. Not to mention there are living Hamas leaders in Qatar, today, and the ICC? Does nothing.

They are a joke.


It's a court, not a military force. What do you suppose it should have done, send the special judge forces to Quatar to kidnap them?

The ICC is an institution that requires member nations to adhere to it. Concepts like these require mutual respect for a rule-based world order; an idea that seems to be lost on people like Trump, Putin, or the Quatari.


Their bias against genocide?


"international law" is, i don't know how to say this quite right, largely for show

when both sides seem to be willing and eager to order, participate in, and cheer for atrocities from leadership to the common people... I don't want to take ideological sides or tally up crimes to decide who to root for in millennia old conflict mostly over a single city

it's a terrible shame for the people who want to live together in peace, clearly there are not enough of them


> "international law" is, i don't know how to say this quite right, largely for show

Turns out most law in western democracies was largely for show


You'd need a body enforcing them and I'm not sure if we really want the one world government.


...or they are not sufficiently well represented.


Yes, there's an ICC warrant out by for Netanyahu and Gallant.

Basically that just means that they won't travel to or even be invited to countries that would arrest them.

The same goes for Putin.

A lot of pro-Israel people just think the ICC is just a tool used by countries that hold a grudge against Israel and don't take it seriously (e.g. the Biden administration released a statement condemning the ICC when they announced they were seeking the warrants), so having more first-hand witnesses stating clearly that war crimes are happening is relevant.

Ideally we'd have journalists reporting these things, but Israel blocks those from entering Gaza too.


I expect the warrant against Putin will be the same ignored as a warrant against Netanyahu. Both Russia and Israel have certain bribing and soft power, but even ignored as a revenge. e.g. Polish prime minister and president jointly and proactively guaranteed Netanyahu entry to Poland even if on daily basis they belong to opposing parties which hate each other. A gesture which looks outright suicidal considering the Criminal Court and local geopolitics.

So not related to 10's of thousands of civilian deaths at all?


re ... 10's of thousands of civilian deaths at all..."

Would be a large percentage of Hamas fighter s too.


So, collective punishment, further making the ICJ and ICC cases.


No, but deliberate exaggeration of number of civilian deaths


All indicators are that it's a dramatic undercount of both total deaths and obviously civilian deaths.

Total deaths of up to 400,000 are now being put forward with persuasive rationale. That Israel will not allow external parties in firmly places the burden to disprove on them. Propaganda whitewashing of deaths is not acceptable.

Quote:

Referring to Israel, Salam said he would work to “impose the complete withdrawal of the enemy from the last occupied inch of our land”.

Hardly an unbiased choice to lead the ICJ.


Very interesting choice of yours to omit the context, in which Hezbollah also drew his ire. Surely a coincidence and not a product of bias, though, right?


It's fine for him to talk how he wants, it's not fine for him to be the person in charge of investigating Israel if he considers it to be the enemy.

And if he considers Hezbollah the enemy, he should not be investigating them either.


Good news, he isn't; he resigned in order to take his appointment as the Lebanese PM, in which capacity he was speaking in the article you linked. Any more thinly veiled ad hominems you'd like to throw around?

A separate set of recommendations for anyone sincerely making this argument:

The article gets some minor biographical details wrong but seems well supported otherwise, however it does describe Israeli roadblocks to the mission.


Yes. Some additional details for those interested: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Criminal_Court...


Read through everything it suggests and critique it yourself. If you can't be bothered to do that then that is on you.


you mean two owners of a massive petrol station chain. What's dodgy about them?


China is a developed country! This dialogue about Chinese people and clean water is bizarre


Fair point, I ought have made that clear. There are many ways in which Chinese people have it better than Americans these days, if my eyes are to be believed.


Insane take.


That's not how we talk here. Also, I was defending your argument lol.

But still, I'll bite - how so? Because I see videos like this:

https://x.com/Zlatti_71/status/1947556095779610961

or this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiNrcHhDTsI

And I compare them to, say, any American city.

You can't watch those and seriously believe that there couldn't possibly be any aspects of Chinese life which are superior, and further, to think that's "insane".

Those aren't cherry-picked videos. There are thousands out there, if you care to look; watch xiaomanyc's videos and there's simply no denying your eyes. Their cars are better, their night life is better, their food is better, their housing is better, their daily lives are better, in many, many ways. Not every way, but in many ways - which is what I said.

You've been propagandized your whole life to think America is number one, but that was only even remotely true before 'we' pissed away our future on genocidal forever wars to make the 0.1% a little wealthier. Now most people see America negatively. Literally the vast majority of countries have an overall negative opinion of America; and we're seen as the number one threat to peace and stability.

Chinese people used to think they're hearing propaganda when they hear American's stories about health insurance, or the political scene - because to them, that's impossible to believe. Yet what you find impossible to believe is that they might have it better in some ways. I hope you have a good long think about that.


Lmao how can you say 'poor Indian and Chinese people' in the same sentence? China is a first world country


No it's not. 50c army out today.


Aren't browsers starting to ship with built-in LLMs? I don't know much about this but if so then surely your extension won't need to send queries to LLM APIs?


There's two types of built-in LLM's:

- The ones the user sees (like a sidepanel). These often use LLM API's like OpenAI.

- The browser API ones. These are indeed local, but are often very limited smaller models (for Chrome this is Gemini Nano). Results from these would be lower quality, and of course with large contexts, either impossible or slower than using an API.


Any chance Trump could do this for software 'produced in foreign lands'?


100% tariff on Linux, we can't have swedes control american software.


Sweden or Finland? Well, since I'm Swedish I wont complain.
