    been able to walk right up to very large “deer” species such as elk

    I completely forgot that you guys say “moose” for the biggest fellas, and thought that you just walked up to moose and try petting them and I was gonna tell you what a bad idea that is, but yeah, you mean Cervus canadensis. We don’t have elk that big. Moose, reindeer and a few different deers, basically. I guess the closest would be the white-tailed deer. I started reading that, and seeing how it’s an American species more or less, I was very confused, as I walked up to one as a kid when I didn’t live in the city. But it’s been introduced to Finland as well.

    Reindeer are fairly small. Smaller than what I feel like they look in that picture. (Perhaps it’s a small man or an odd angle. Or just a unit of a reindeer)

    See?


  • Well, the article says “deer”, but it’s just reindeer, and reindeer are a semi-domesticated species. All the reindeer in Lapland are owned by someone, but they’re also literally free to roam around and graze wherever. When it comes time, they gather up the tokka (collective noun for a reindeer group ~herd).

    People aren’t walking up to wild deer to paint their antlers.

    Aye, but… we all know they are different.

    Perhaps it’s hard to see if you’re American, but sometimes it’s downright incredible — in the very sense of the word — how badly educated some Americans are.

    I’m Finnish, and I genuinely have a hard time imagining someone not being able to name like 10 countries on a map. Even people I know who literally discovered an inner monologue at the age of 25 while in a stimulant psychosis, and who had been huffing gas and paint since they were 12, and never were too sharp to begin with, those people could name a couple of dozen countries and at least all the continents. (Edit, now that I consider it, I think it’s also to do with Europeans “needing” to know Europe whereas Americans don’t. Just need to know Canada, Mexico, but then all the different states. Although European countries have similar divisions as well, I’d argue the local entities are less crucial than in the States. Hell, I probably don’t remember our one’s 100% correctly)

    No offense, America has a lot of smart people. And Noel Fielding isn’t an example of a highly educated person. He was in the Croydon School for Art and then got a degree for graphic design. Meanwhile in the US, common core maths is a thing.

    So like, let’s not pretend there’s not a pretty significant difference in the education systems. Not recognising that would mean accepting the one the US has, and I for one think education is rather important and that the US could improve even if they were the best in the world. Which they’re not. Granted, now was the first time I checked the 2024 rankings, and the difference between UK and US is much smaller than I expected. UK being #14 and US #18.




  • You’re like a bad text-bot based on some really shitty Reddit sub.

    I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised to learn you’re a teenager.

    Your lies about having studied international law at “law school” are beyond ridiculous.

    The way you speak of international law shows you know about as much about it as a 3-year old playing kitchen does about actual cooking.

    Here, again.

    https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule12

    The 24th International Conference of the Red Cross in 1981 urged parties to armed conflicts in general “not to use methods and means of warfare that cannot be directed against specific military targets and whose effects cannot be limited”

    Further evidence of the customary nature of the definition of indiscriminate attacks in both international and non-international armed conflicts can be found in the jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice and of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. In its advisory opinion in the Nuclear Weapons case, the International Court of Justice stated that the prohibition of weapons that are incapable of distinguishing between civilian and military targets constitutes an “intransgressible” principle of customary international law. This definition of indiscriminate attacks represents an implementation of the principle of distinction and of international humanitarian law in general. Rule 12(a) is an application of the prohibition on directing attacks against civilians (see Rule 1) and the prohibition on directing attacks against civilian objects (see Rule 7), which are applicable in both international and non-international armed conflicts. Rule 12(b) is also an application of the prohibition on directing attacks against civilians or against civilian objects (see Rules 1 and 7). The prohibition of weapons which are by nature indiscriminate (see Rule 71), which is applicable in both international and non-international armed conflicts, is based on the definition of indiscriminate attacks contained in Rule 12(b). Lastly, Rule 12© is based on the logical argument that means or methods of warfare whose effects cannot be limited as required by international humanitarian law should be prohibited.

    Can bombs going off in market places and other civilian locations be limited in that way? NO.

    Does Israel breaking the humanitarian laws they’ve agreed to as a member of the UN mean Israel just “gets abandoned”. Hmm… how does it work in your society when someone does a crime? Are they just… “abandoned”? Or is there perhaps some sort of a system that deals justice based on the severity of the crime? (Having to write this is exactly what I mean about how ridiculous it is of you to lie that you have any training in law, let alone “law school” :D)

    https://theintercept.com/2024/09/19/israel-pager-walkie-talkie-attack-lebanon-war-crimes/

    Israel keeps doing crimes against humanity and you keep defending them. Like a brownshirt from the 30’s. Eww.


  • Warcrimes are warcrimes.

    Ukraine isn’t a bad nation for defending itself against Russia.

    Israel is a garbage nation for the pathetic attacks they commit and the genocides they pull.

    “I said AND COMPANY”

    No you didn’t, and we’re on Lemmy, where it’s beyond simple to look at your edit history

    For someone in the military you really don’t seem to understand how modern warfare works, at all

    Or maybe you’re an arrogant child, speaking out of their ass?

    I’ve actually had training on fighting urban warfare. Training which included international law that’s related.

    Have you?

    No. All you’ve done is suck the fat dick of Israeli propaganda. If you had the knowledge that I do, you’d cringe at pathetic these attempts at “rhetoric” are.

    Israel is doing crimes against humanity.

    it’s not like grenades or rockets were just launched at city streets

    No, this was way less targeted. Israel had zero idea who would end up near the devices even in the completely imaginary scenario where their information is perfect and every pager goes to Hezbollah, as you won’t be able to know where the bombs are when you detonate them.

    Cry more. No excuses for Israeli CRIMES.

    https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/09/lebanon-establish-international-investigation-into-deadly-attacks-using-exploding-portable-devices/

    Weird how international law experts agree with me — a person who received even rudimentary info on international law — and not with any of you pushing the “Israel did nothing wrong” side.

    Isn’t that weird? Almost as if all you’ve got is propaganda and lies.

    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/9/18/do-lebanon-explosions-violate-the-laws-of-war

    We got actual laws (which Israel has agreed to, as a member of the UN)

    Oh and I’m not ignoring any your third-grade rhetoric because it’s “hard to answer”, but because I’m all out of accommodating children for the week. Seeing you being serious with your rhetoric, with that level of rhetoric? I can’t even describe it, really. I mean, do you know the feeling you get when you watch toddlers imitating adults, really earnestly? They’re all serious in the face, they don’t understand how cute and silly they’re being? That’s how I feel about your rhetoric. You don’t understand how simple and childish it is.

  • 98% of Gaza is still alive after one year of all this indiscriminate bombing and genocide.

    Are you on crack?

    Oh wait no, you’re smoking Israeli propaganda, even worse than being the worst of crack whores.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Israel–Hamas_war

    As of 8 September 2024, over 42,000 people (40,972 Palestinian[1] and 1,478 Israeli[13]) have been reported as killed in the Israel–Hamas war, including 116 journalists according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (111 Palestinian, 2 Israeli and 3 Lebanese)[14], 134 journalists and media workers according to the International Federation of Journalists (127 Palestinian, 4 Israeli and 3 Lebanese)[15] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, including 179 employees of UNRWA.[

    Israel is a pos coward nation committing a genocide on defenseless women and children. I can’t imagine anything more despicable and pathetic.

    But you already knew this, since you’ve studied international law in… “law school”. (:DDDD)

    Maybe you’re right, and you think the west should abandon Israel.

    Honestly, our basic school system informed us more of international laws than your “law school” apparently did you. :D Not how the UN works, my brainwashed friend.

    Then you spam a bit more whataboutism to excuse genocide. “No you don’t understand, we have to genocide these people because they looked at us funny, so we’re allowed to break international law”

    Cmon mister “I-read-international-law-in-law-school”

    What was the name of your school?? :DDD



  • Sure you did, bubba, sure you did.

    You’re not just random internet kid with a cringe username who gets Hezbollah and Hamas confused and kicks off a tantrum. Nope, youre definitely not that.

    You’re an expert in international law!

    You did just call me an antisemite. You implied it. I think you might have to look that word up as well, despite your extensive training in “law school”.

    I’m holding Israel to international laws they’ve agreed on, as a member of the United Nations.

    The the rest of your comment is more shitty whataboutism.



  • War isn’t war crimes.

    Youre ignoring actual international law and think your 12th grade philosophy rhetoric is some fucking gotcha?

    War isn’t war crimes. I shouldn’t have even engaged with this shitty whataboutism, but it’s so laughable this is honestly entertaining. “War is war”. Weirdly we’ve never had to resort to bombing civilians? The only thing you can manage to find is “you had a civil war and you got support from Germany (before having a war with them), thus you’re just as morally bad as anyone who voluntarily massacre children, like Israel.”

    We weren’t allies with Germany. You think that can’t be true, since you know WWII history. But what you don’t realise is you don’t understand that like warcrimes, “ally” also has a definition. We were not allies with Nazis, we we’re cobelligerents. Until we had to have a war with the fuckers cause they weren’t happy with us not being in thrall to them. The fuckers burned Lappland.

    if someone managed to explode Netanyahu and co’s phones and kill him, you’d probably be cheering even if children died, because it would mean a genocidal war would be halted.

    I don’t have anything better to do rn, so I might as well. This is absolutely moronic. No, I wouldn’t be fucking cheering at anyone’s death, and Netanyahu dying wouldn’t even realistically stop the genocides, because why the fuck would it? Do you think he’s the sole person pushing everyone else to do something they loathe? You haven’t heard the “we’re fighting human animals” from Israel’s defense minister?

    War is allowed. War crimes are not. How is this hard for you to understand? And how is it you honestly still cling to your, “every country has blood on their hands” and comparing mother fucking Finland to Israel, trying to equate them because we fought for our independence literally more than a century ago, and did no war crimes in the process.

    How is that even remotely comparable to sending off bombs to be exploded in population centers with children?

    Like how fucked up do you have to be to even be able to think that?


  • “How much more targeted”

    Than indiscriminate bomb attacks at population centers?

    VERY much more targeted. This is no more accurate than looking at a phone book for addresses that people who may or may not have been associated with Hezbollah at some point and then bombing those apartment buildings, not caring who else lives there.

    There are rules about war. Rules which you clearly have no idea of. No matter how despicable a terrorist organisation is, it doesn’t mean it’s morally okay for you to stoop to theirs fucking level.

    Israel is a member of the UN, and has promised to obey these international laws as a part of the global community. If they want to say “fuck you we’re allowed to kill however many civilians we happen to fucking kill with whatever flimsy excuse we may have”, then soon Israel won’t be a respected member of the global community, but another shitty terrorist state that everyone despises.
