yeah yeah, we get it, you have forgiving mothers, nice humble brag.

I did not worry every second that I allegedly am about to to live in an authoritarian state.

What are you talking about?

I’m not American, but that was fun to watch. I had my popcorn and everything. It felt like I’m watching Cartman debate Wendy or something.

Do you really believe someone who is still undecided going into last night’s debate is a reasonable person?

It’s not just about president it’s about party. Someone might not like Trump. But at the same time dislike democratic policies and democrats as a party.

So now the have to decide. Do they go against Republicans due to their candidate? Hearing Kamala debate him might convince them that yeah… ok. They’re not THAT bad… at least they (democrats) are better than him (Trump)

Matrix today, put on the headset!

I’ve heard “wallet warrior” been thrown around in gaming communities for people who just pay for high end accounts without having any skill to back it up.

Well, if it’s a “normal” touchscreen laptop, I think most Linux distros have support for it out of the box.

If you have a bit of patience. What you could do is simply install Linux on an external drive (usb stick works fine if its large enough) connected to your laptop.

That way you can freely try what works without messing anything up until you’ve decided.

You might want to be more specific than that… but im running Debian on a Microsoft Surface and It’s great. You will need to follow a tutorial on how to install it though. It’s a bit more technical than your average Linux installation

No. I’m really not. And as I’ve explained so many times. There are evidence available to make that conclusion plausible.

The word you are looking for is proof. But you not understanding the difference between evidence and proof is another issue.

Yikes, you really want to strawman this as hard as you can.

Not sure what you’re quoting but it ain’t me.

There is evidence to draw the conclusion that an estimate of 180k dead is plausible. Everything from the length of the war, the documented lack of aid reaching the region, the documented destruction of medical facilities to the The documented destruction of habital areas.

I understand fully that there are ~40k deaths reported from within. I think it’s entierly plausible that the real number of deaths as an indirect cause of the war are far higher than that. Personally I think it’s more than plausible. I think it’s likely. But I’ll stick with plausible just for you.

It is based on evidence.

Evidence that very little aid is reaching Gaza. Evidence that clean water is difficult to come by. Evidence that 35% of their builds are severely damaged or destroyed. Evidence from previous wars and how the population were affected by similar conditions.

With those points of data. Qualified people can make estimations of what they think the number of dead might look like.

But there is no evidence to prove the estimation is correct right until after the war is over.

What you want to say, is that there’s no proof. Which is correct. There is no proof for the figure. Because again. It’s an estimation. There is a war. We can’t go dig up the bodies just yet

We cook our food to kill bacteria.

Ever wondered why domesticated animals tend to become much older than wild animals?

Gaza had an estimated population of about 2 million people.

We know that 35% of the buildings in Gaza is severely damaged or destroyed. Very little aid is reaching their target, hospitals are destroyed.

There is nothing disingenuous about me agreeing with them that it’s plausible that an estimated number of deaths as a result from the war is up towards 180 thousand.

We will not have any evidence until after the war is over and bodies can start being dug up from under the demolished buildings and infrastructure.

If you look at their wording they make it clear it’s not “implausible” to believe the current toll including starvation etc is up towards or above 180’000.

No, your reliance on AI shows you have little to no understanding in what they are and how they work.

They state very clearly how and why they arrive at these estimations. You have so many references and articles that they link you to, to show you where they are getting the information to come to their conclusion.

You are really sitting there saying you don’t know how to fact check an estimate. Do you understand what an estimate is? how we reach estimates? What might make them more or less probable?

You think that is an argument? “Hamas” have used it, that’s it? Hamas has also been using H20 in vast quantities. You gonna stop drinking water too?

“Are likely very off and purely fictional”, If you were capable of reading it yourself instead of just letting your little AI bot do it. You would know why and how they arrive at these estimates. Since they list their sources and references that lead to their estimates. and what they are attributed to

And what makes you think “spinscore.io” is a bias free tool for fact checking or that they even check the facts at all? It’s an “AI” of which you have no idea how it works or what it takes into consideration. As far as we know. It will suggest that you should put glue on pizza.

What gives “spinscore.io” any credibility at all?

Carbon is no longer an element and doesn’t exist.

Yes. They do. If you actually read them you would know. For example. In the second link. It’s explicitly stated in the first paragraph.

A convoy of vehicles carrying fleeing civilians in Gaza that was hit by a deadly airstrike was travelling on one of the two roads identified by the Israeli army as “safe routes” to the southern half of the strip, according to analysis.

You must have “missed” that.

It’s funny because any criticism you will drape it as antisemitism. The proof is so overwhelming. Bombing of safe routes, taking out hospitals as a first priority, little by little they are already reducing the strip to rubble. That’s not me thinking they will. That’s them currently doing it.

Estimations of indirect deaths varies of course since they are more difficult.

The 150k includes these indirect deaths. Deaths from starvation, trampling, disease and sickness as a result of the war.
