So many people say the word “genocide” is overused. No, we just have A LOT of them going on in a ducked up world. You can’t just change the definition of genocide because you don’t like hearing about Sudan, The Congo, Palestine, Myanmar, and so much more. There’s a 9 step definition of genocide that ENDS with mass killing making it official. And the mass killing part is the main part being used and to prove it in international law alongside discrimination akin to apartheid in South Africa. But we all should remember that genocides don’t just appear, so much happens before to lead up to them before we can call it a genocide. And the fact that we can call it that legally is a problem. So many signals were missed, ignored, or encouraged to cause this level of suffering.

Hey man, sloths can move faster than you think, especially when they feel threatened, and they have MASSIVE claws. Don't confuse "chill" for "not dangerous". They also only come down from the canopy once a week, to poop - that's unrelated, but it is interesting and I thought you should know.

@ryebread4369 Ай бұрын

Maybe it's another show here on YT, but someone was talking about how sloths frequently "crimp" peoples fingers and arms ect. They have so much force per square inch in their claws they can break your finger like a delicious carrot!! People have to be very careful handling sloths, if they start the action to hold onto your finger because it *might* resemble a stick to the slow fuzzy brain, they won't stop the action because it's so much effort. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" is sloth philosophy when it comes to energy. They try their damndest to complete their task. Care takers have to be careful, similar to constricting snake handlers. If a sloth wanted to they can choke you out by wrapping their arm around your neck and trying to hang like on a tree. The strong grip can make you pass out if they crimp the right spot of your neck just trying to climb on you I love fuzzy animals that are more dangerous than they seem💛

He spoke up against dozens of other things during his time in office, even passively intervening in a debate about the state-recognized name of a mountain. He then offered no pressure at all against Turkey. The President of the United States of America is a title that holds more diplomatic pressure on the world stage than basically any other, and he used it to implicitly reinforce genocide denial by avoiding the topic. And no, I think he's morally compromised because he approved more drone strikes than any other president, with little tactical information and a flagrant disregard for life, leading to countless civilian casualties he never seemed to care about.

System of a Downs concert in Yerevan commemorating this is a spiritual experience , that you can watch anytime ad-free on youtube, I highly recommend it. Not alot of bands who were active for like 8 years and havent made an album since 2005 who can do what they do with their relatively small discography.

( Not to mention the tremendous effort Axis of Justice made towards fighting social injustices.) And yes, the concert in Yerevan is remarkable.

@littlejerryseinfeld4168 11 күн бұрын

@@jacobjohnson8686 yeah that concert is so good, i play it at least once a week to motivate myself in the morning while working. I've watched many of their live performances but that was the most complete, the best sound out of them since their heyday, and the atmosphere and the enthusiasm of the crowd - with those 3 interludes that were well done and informative. I even decided to get a guitar and learn to play a bit because of that concert.... im not good but i can at least resemble some of the riffs, lol. I'm not sure if its a good or bad thing that they stopped making new music when they did, because I do believe that if a team isnt functioning optimally , or theres negativity surrounding them, it'll affect the creative process and their pretty pristine discography may be affected on an overall basis, but they really could have gone on to be maybe the only band that plays anything like their kind of music with the staying power to have lasted this long.

She has her own version of why she had a falling out with showrunner Shonda Rhimes (and with Judd Apatow, her boss for the successful crass comedy film ‘Knocked Up’ in which she played the lead), but it’s likely there were regrettable actions on all of their parts.

*Conjectures on Good and Evil* Evil sleeps but never dies. Throughout history people have grappled with the concept of good and evil but largely these definitions are muddled and inconsistent. What is the true difference between good and evil? How will a clearer understanding give us perspective into things like the Apocalypse and Armageddon? In order to understand good and evil we must present them in as simple of a definition as possible. It is my contention that good and evil are like the metaphors of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge in their most basic understandings. 1. Good is an aspect of living and life, but also an aspect of ignorance. 2. That evil is an aspect of truth and knowledge, but also a perversity of life and living. Why did God decree that Adam and Eve would surely die if they ate of the Tree of Knowledge? God judged the possibility of Adam and Eve's conquest into the realm of evil and the truth and deemed them unfit for competitive definitions. This possibility is intertwined with the complex notion that as one fails in an overall picture, especially of the true meaning of life, that one becomes more prone to flight and also violence. One, as they fail, is "set to ride" so to speak for their last stand before falling to a lesser place. This can help us understand the true meaning of both the Apocalypse and of Armageddon. -Francis Nienow
