In newspapers, whenever someone is described as “controversial and outspoken,” what is generally meant is “delusional and loudly ignorant.”

Sorry, what? Newborn babies can’t shoot a gun and can’t take care of themselves if their homes are bombed and their parents die. Not to mention that half of Gaza is already under 18 and probably won’t be having babies any time soon, given that hospitals are being targeted. What the fuck is wrong with you?

I thought it would be obvious because of the article headline, but email reactions. It’s undeniable that emoji are useful for communication, I’m just not convinced that this particular interaction with an email is anything that anyone asked for or needs.

The only use case I can imagine would be for school/work accounts, but this feature isn’t supported for those types of accounts yet. I’d assume that’s because it’s not yet integrated into the Office 365 platform.

The question remains: who outside of a corporate environment needs this? Maybe large families who communicate through chain emails? I honestly don’t know anyone who uses email to have group chats anymore, but I suppose those people must exist. Just seems like it would be a small number.

I’m struggling to think of a use case for this. Why not just reply and put an emoji in there?

What? That’s not at all what I’m saying, I’m an anti-Zionist - I literally called the situation apartheid.

I just don’t think it’s likely that Palestine will end up benefitting from this this given how large the Israeli lobby is. Your quip seems inappropriate.

I’m pretty surprised by this. Israel has a lot of wealthy allies and an already robust military propped up by defense manufacturing and compulsory military service. This is going to lead to even more Palestinian casualties than were already happening… every Arab in or near the West Bank is at risk of being executed right now. I’m really curious why Hamas decided to do this given how the global north has been giving Palestine the cold shoulder and actively arming Israel for decades.

I live in Canada and I know that we are already giving military aid to Israel - we are probably going to increase that after this, and I’m sure that the USA and UK will do the same. There are already mainstream organizations that refuse to acknowledge Palestine whatsoever, so I’m really concerned about the possibility of the apartheid turning into a genocide and no one really caring because “they deserved it,” especially given the aggressive anti-Palestinian propaganda in right-wing Israeli institutions and social circles.

The 106 women were from a single province of Afghanistan and not the entire country, just so you know. There are 34 provinces. The numbers are likely even higher than reported due to data suppression.

That’s not the case in many places. Lots of children are born whose fathers are unknown or whose mothers are married to someone who isn’t the father - that information is often used instead. In some jurisdictions, the spouse of the mother is automatically considered the father by law.

In the US, specifically, there are many cases of men being falsely named as fathers on a birth certificate so that a mother can collect child support from a more preferable person (for example, they have a better-paying job, so the calculated payment will be higher) than the actual father.
