Hyperreality

Probably don't know about the allegations or confused Andrew with another royal.

Some people don't really watch the news or keep up with that kind of thing.

He's not hated, certainly not hated enough for people to wish he dies of cancer.

He's less popular than his mother, but that's mainly because people are simply ambivalent about him.

Have you ever considered that if people were less naive about the true nature of war, and didn't lie to themselves about the reality for civilians, and that war inevitably devolves into rape, torture, and infanticide, the world would be a better place?

You be better.

Sorry. But you're naive.

War has always been like this. It's just been masked by newspeak. Collateral damage, precision or surgical strikes, insurgent, non-combatants, etc.

IRC the initial bombings of Iraq in 2003, labeled 'Shock and Awe' and portrayed as surgical and precise by plenty of media, likely cost the lives of thousands of innocent civilians. The US bombed hospitals, they killed journalists, there were literal concentration camps, systematic torture, summary executions, etc. etc. People have simply watched too many American war movies (not a good war movie like Come and See, link to the full movie with subs on an official channel), don't know much about international law, and seem to think a bomb blast stops at the window of a building. The sad reality is that you can bomb a building with one terrorist in it, and if it happens to be next to a children's hospital, that's invariably not considered a war crime.

IRC the UK Department of Defense even has absurdly low civilian casualty figures, because anyone in a combat zone is no longer considered a civilian. Here's a relevant article:

The UK has admitted causing only one civilian death in its nearly decade-long campaign against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, a position widely criticised as implausible by defence establishment insiders and the civil service.

And let's not get started on countries like Russia where officers pimped out their own soldiers. If that's how they treat their own, you don't want to know how they treat the enemy. I mean, they decided to pardon child rapists and murders after setting them loose on the Ukrainian front. And don't get me started on wars with child soldiers and rape camps. Hell, IRC in Syria the red cross/crescent gave Assad the location of hospitals, so they could avoid bombing them. They stopped doing that when they realised the regime was almost certainly using the locations they provided as targeting data and hit multiple hospitals in a day.

Want to know the sad reality? Israel will likely get away with all this, because what they're doing isn't that especially out of the ordinary when it comes to war. It's no coincidence that the ICJ stopped short of calling for an immediate ceasefire.

FYI memory beta is for non-canon works. Memory alpha is for canon works, although obviously non-canon works do often end up becoming canon.

Others have already given you an answer, but for future reference, whenever you need to find something out about star trek there's memory alpha. It's basically the Trek encylopedia and is very detailed. It's the trek equivalent of tv tropes, so can be a dangerous time suck. So in this case:

The alternate reality was a new reality created on Friday, January 4, 2233 (stardate 2233.04) when a temporal incursion caused by time travel of the Narada, a Romulan mining vessel from the year 2387, disrupted the time continuum of the prime universe. Accidentally traveling back to that point in time, Nero, the Narada's captain, attacked the USS Kelvin resulting in the deaths of several crew members, including George Kirk and Richard Robau, and the destruction of the Kelvin itself. Spock arrived to the alternate reality in 2258 and was captured by Nero, who used red matter to destroy Vulcan. However, Nero's attacks united the crew of the USS Enterprise, who foiled his attempt to destroy Earth. ... Scans and telemetry of the 24th century Narada, taken by the Kelvin, were brought back to Starfleet by the survivors on the Kelvin's shuttles. Therefore, Starfleet's development and construction plans were slightly altered, making everything potentially more advanced, slightly ahead of schedule. ... co-writer Simon Pegg had a different view of how the alternate reality diverges from the prime timeline from Orci and Kurtzman, believing events before 2233 were different too ... "Spock's incursion from the Prime Universe created a multidimensional reality shift. The rift in space/time created an entirely new reality in all directions, top to bottom, from the Big Bang to the end of everything. As such this reality was, is and always will be subtly different from the Prime Universe."

Here's some numbers:

• 68% of 50-64 year American women describe themselves as strong feminists. For 18-34 year olds that number's only 63%

• 18% of millenial Americans think that we should be using MORE fossil fuels. For Gen Z that number's 23%.

• Europeans ages 18 to 29 are LESS likely than older groups to support fiscal redistribution. This age group in the EU is also more likely to attribute poverty to “laziness or lack of willpower,"

In conclusion, gen z are quite clearly the worst and should get off my lawn.

Heat pumps are perfect for the UK. Unfortunately due to a lack of expertise or training, high demand, outdated heat installations, old housing stock, poor insulation, and cowboy builders, people often end up with a badly installed and overpriced install which may even be more expensive than a traditional gas heater.

That's why they're also still quite unpopular, despite being a no brainer on paper.

Something that the tories could have done something about, obviously. But on the bright side they'll be gone soon, so fuck 'em.

Ironically, people who wank are usually less of a wanker than people who spend all day talking about not wanking.

Wankers. The lot of them.

Yes. They're exactly the same.
