You mean the case which convinced the ICJ that Israel was committing war crimes and made them order Israel to halt operations?

Just because they haven't proven genocide in the full legal sense doesn't mean what's happening there is right.

You're on the wrong side of Lemmy for these kinds of opinions. Over here Ukraine is the aggressor and the global south are a beacon of hope for the future of mankind. Puked a little in my mouth just typing that.

Objectively speaking she can dance and keep a crowd going while still hitting her notes. It doesn't matter if you don't enjoy the music, she's objectively doing a good job. You critiqued her singing, not her music.

It's ok to not like something, you know. Pretending they're not good is pretty weird tho.

British English might have continental Europe influences there whereas American English doesn't? Dunno, don't have an explanation for the difference.

As for the "flight", I've always wondered that myself, but never bothered to googled it. Simply assumed it was used for both. Just googled it now, and the consensus seems to be that a flight is an uninterrupted row of stairs. So if you have one of those spiraling staircases and it doesn't stop for 200 steps, that's one flight of stairs. If you have those zig zagging steps that you usually find in modern buildings, even tho there's only one floor between them, if there's a platform in between, that's 2 flight of stairs. So... There you go.

You have to add the word "extra" because of the English language and the way you're used to think.

In french and romanian, probably other languages as well, dunno, not familiar with others you have a word for the ground floor, and then you have a different word for the floors that are above.

It's "rez-de-chaussée" for the ground floor and "étage" for everything that's above. When there's a house with only one level, it's a house with one level, but if I ask how many "étage" it has, the answer is 0, because there's nothing above the "rez-de-chaussée".

It's like.. try to replace "floor" with "flight of stairs" or something. To better conceptualize the manner of speaking. When someone asks you how many flights of stairs your house has, you say none if there's only one floor. And you say 1 if there's 2 floors. That sort of thing.

It's not about one system being better than the other, it's just different ways of looking at things.

Holy crap... Did you guys read the bottom bit about Georgia voters?

"Another man Bob, playing with his bluegrass band outside a café, was more sure. He wanted a positive outcome for Donald Trump and said a conviction would not change his mind. What would?

“If he was convicted of murder, I'd be like that's not a guy I want to go for!” "

Not surprised, tbh, but I still find it ridiculous to read.

If it's mandated by law they will. As they do in other countries.

I'm all for bashing them for their shitty practices, but let's be honest here. If you care about your memories, all you have to do is login once and they're safe. If that's unreasonable, I think that's a you problem.

The maker of a "pigeon dating sim" game says she hasn't received royalties in 2 years. Epic games said they'd "look into it"

Because it's nowhere near the same. Is it a bad release? Yes. Is it overwatch2 bad? No, not even close.

For the example: even tho it's true that CSGO used to be a paid game, it had been free for 5 years and before that it was 15$, not 40 or however much was ow.

Cs2 comes with a whole new engine which changes a bunch of things, unlike ow2 which is just an upgraded version of the same stuff; same errors, same stuff, basically.

OW2 also made everything in the game more expensive to buy. Etc.
