Why would I need to tell you? You've read the report, you said, so you would know what is and isn't in it.
A sarcastic response occurred to me, so I let it out, but I'm not interested in continuing the lengthy dishonest exchange where you cosplay as someone who's "winning" (for reasons I still don't really understand.) The interaction is done from my side.
If only those fools from the UN team had spent their money on that, instead of a team of experts in sexual assault who then toured the affected areas and interviewed all those people and reviewed forensic evidence. The answers were on the dark web the whole time. Everyone knows the first thing you learn in Hamas is how to use Tor Browser. Now that you say it that way, it’s completely obvious.
I know the world doesn't work this way, for good reason. But it would be funny if someone signed up to be Trump's lawyer, didn't take pains to make sure they got paid up front, and then when Trump stiffed them on some billing in the middle of the trial, simply stood up in court and said to Trump, "No, I will not defend you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills. Your witness, sir; you're pro se now." And then packed up and left the courtroom.
The potential energy of the spring is “stored” in individual molecules that are pushed into some configuration that they don’t quite want to be in, and they exert force on each other trying to push themselves back apart / back together into being the way they like. As the spring disintegrates, you could model those individual forces, and molecules exerting force on each other would release it into kinetic energy one by one or in groups, as the spring gradually lost its integrity to exist as a singular entity.
(I think that in practice, metals are made of grains, big groupings of molecules which stay pretty much as rigid bodies unless something really crazy happens, so most of the potential energy is force of the grains wanting to go back into their preferred arrangement in relation to other grains. I.e. not in practice at the level of molecule to molecule. But I’m not 100% on that part.)
Israel: Can have all the hostages back, any time they agree to stop killing people
Also Israel: Decides instead to kill hundreds more people including 64 children to recover 4 hostages, leaving all other hostages still in danger of death and all kinds of other things, because they cannot bear the thought that they might have to agree to stop killing if they want to get them back without having to do even more killing
World: Hey maybe they shouldn’t do that
Israel: Why would antisemitism do this?
If you are really hankering that badly to continue the pointless back-and-forth, I should be able to provide you with something, just not right now. I will get back to you though. I have an idea that I think can keep you busy for more or less as much time as you want to spend on it.
Kang: Boy, I sure do like that Reddit has lots of pointless arguments, but I just wish we could bring that to Lemmy too. I know Lemmy has a certain number already, but I just wish there was some way to instigate them arbitrarily
Kodos: Comin right up! Watch this
Cool! I love the "Never Play Defense" game, and would be happy to bring some other random assertion into the mix to counterbalance your random new assertion. But, I have exhausted the amount of effort I want to expend on this right now. Another day, sure; feel free to reach out any time.
Yeah. For me the really notable factor is the weirdness of the disconnect. Like if you look at the person's claims and study the flow of the conversation back and forth, it starts to become really obvious that they don't actually have factual belief in the things they are saying. But they still want to continue the conversation and invest a bunch of energy into it. Like, a lot, over a long period of time.
So... why? There aren't too many plausible explanations for those two things in combination, and then coming alongside "blue MAGA" and Democrats this and Biden that, it all of a sudden clicks into focus and it all makes sense. Now that I'm looking at it more, I'm pretty sold on shilling being the explanation.
Yeah. It was virtually unknown on Lemmy up until around May 20th, when return2ozma and a few other accounts all started using it at the same time. It's sort of dropped off since then; I think their effort to make it catch on failed. But there are a few accounts that still like to drop it into conversation in perfectly natural fashion every now and again.
I think like a lot of propaganda, it's not meant to have any wild level of success on its own; it's more just one little piece that's designed to combine with a hundred other little pieces to create a sizable overall impact.
