The level of these monsters is shocking, unbelievable. They are going to charge fees just to allow humanitarian aid through.

«According to sources, the document speaks of the need for a “prime contractor” capable of sending 600 humanitarian and commercial trucks into Gaza every day. It also suggests charging a fee of $2,000 for every humanitarian aid shipment and $12,000 for commercial trucks.

By operating as a concessionary entity, the document says, the contractor could “earn a fair return” from the humanitarian and commercial trucks entering Gaza. If the “prime contractor” acts quickly, it could generate gross revenues of $1.7 billion per year solely from road transport fees.» (Source: Los Angeles Press)

I am feeling terrible about this. I don't know what to do beyond the useless words I can say in an extreme case like this. It is horrible.

Quote is traslated from Spanish:

Los Angeles Press article

OK. I explain.

In other language, I use freely: "peronista", "izquierdista", "derechista"... It means simply someone supporting certain ideas or movement. See, it looks really similar:

trumpista - trumpist

But... "a friend"... said that "trumpist" is peyorative, despective, like cultists, sectarian group. And I should use "trump supporters".

Dude, I've been reading in English for years and I still sound like a damn 3yo when I try to communicate.

Why did "Americans" believe that someone like that could save their country? It's a mystery. Not a single day goes by without me asking myself this question.

But even in my own country, there are idiots who celebrate it. People who take pleasure in evil, in insults, in boasting, in human rights violations, in disorder, in chaos.

All of this speaks very poorly of the human race, not because most of us support people like Trump, but because we've failed so badly that someone like him can actually end up ruling us.

And from what we can see, it's not just in the United States where he rules. This scum governs all of America.

Thanks for reading and... over and out.

I feel like an idiot. I trusted in incipient social media. They hosted my blog. But one day my posts stopped being published. I don't see visible reasons. Maybe a bandwidth limit. No explanations here, except a generic: "It's not possible to establish a connection with server, try later"... even though the site is still working.

But it's not the blog of a famous person: it's the blog of an unknown, never important person on the internet. You know, a user struggling with only 5 followers on each social media platform. So, how did I exceed the limit? It seems like they "blocked" the feature, leaving the users without this functionality.

I spent the whole afternoon preparing a blog to host on the typical dev platforms (like Github, etc.). I finished late at night. Coffee and more coffee. Of course, I know how to do this shit. But they could've been a bit more considerate, right? Imagine, this link is all over my social media... and now is a blog where I can't publish anything. They won't know my updates because I can't publish anymore, and it's like they won't let me. From a user point of view, it could seem like I'm messing with them.

Donald Trump is truly irritanting.

The bad part isn't "America for Americans" but his boundless arrogancy. This guy looks like the Unabomber but with presidential power.

Trumpism isn't just an American phenomenon; this lack of judgment has spread worldwide, like a creeping poison ivy.

You might ask yourself, 'What the hell are these people thinking?' Because it's not like they vote for them and then regret it; they vote for them and keep voting for them, despite the damage they cause. They seem to be in love with violence.

And it's not that I'm simply bothered because I'm unable to see other ideas, but where are the ideas? All I see is a pack of corner bullies with presidential sashes, boasting and mocking the very people they govern, destroying everything they can, and stealing like madmen to give it all to the social elite (those who least need to be given anything).

What is it with these people? Because I'm completely clueless.

He blames on Latin America for US problems. Honestly, I don't know why he believes that.

It's a good joke seeing our president (Javier Milei) kissing his ass while Donald Trump ignores him (like he did in Mauricio Macri case). They (conservative Argentine politicians) desire to align with USA... but they have a really bad luck. Always, they win and Trump wins at same time. And Trump kicks their asses and spits in middle of front.

Recently, Donald Trump is near to invade Venezuela. Before, he was very aggresive to the Colombian president because some migrants. Before, he was furious with Mexico (and Canada) for drugs issues. He promised to Argentina low taxes but he taxed Argentina like all of countries (thing that I expected) in a 10%.

Trump is the more stupid side of your boss.

I talked it with Gemini, to be clear about english language. Today, I asked him(it?):

how to say "primo" and "prima" in english?

This AI machine replied:

Only "cousin" for both. Also, cousin is applied in all orders: first-order, second-order...

Obviously, "SURPRISE" is a small word to describe it.

Really??? I undestand that, maybe, they don't have interest in cat sex, but... in persons??? Such a carelessness with language!

I continued. Gemini said (in spanish):

The root is in antique french "cousin" and "cousine" but they lossed the gender in english.

I asked him if I can use "cousine", at least, to compensate it. I went far away, saying:

I don't want to suffer with these anti-gender sillinesses of Yanquis, can I use "cousine"?

Gemini response:

No. "Cousine" is not english word. Native persons will believe that you are wrong and will fix it

"FIX"? OH, MY GOD! 😂 I can't do it anymore. I swear I'm trying.

I signed up in lemmy.ml (before here), my reasonfor it was that they put my register data in the drawer, and I was unsure about if they going to register me really... Then, I registered here.

But the worse part is that they did not register me and... reason? "Spam" (??????). Tell me, how can I spam if I am not in site yet? Pure lies. In any case, I declare I am not spammer and this is a facade. Maybe, they admit only their ideas' applicants, for example, if they say something like: "oh, I hate Trump, I love LGBT flag and my cat Patrice, and I hate Brave in full-hearted way".

(In this moment, I am struggling against 404 images in Lemmy, but I am not --and was not-- a spammer)

Sometimes, I see my hands, thinking if under my skin maybe there are wires and integrated circuits...

Each site that I enter: "excuse me, you look like a robot; wait for an exam" (captcha, some algebra).

The internet that I knew was different.

I entered in chat... they said "Free Software Community in XMPP".

First thing: usually, they spam another political group. I didn't know what is it. One day, a guy came whining: "these persons are kirchnerists and don't respect other views than theirs" (it is referred to Cristina Kirchner, ex president of Argentina, with a leftist vision).

Second thing: I had small argument with owner because I insisted on "only speak about software" and he said "free software is politic topic" and we can't separate them, supossedlly

Third thing: another user, recently, said to be "neutral", said that "he doesn't want to participate in political debate"; other user acussed him of covered fascism (but not in toxic way but sutile), the neutral guy kept his position firmly and mentioned the fact that in other software groups the political speaking is absolutelly forbidden, he ended with: "I will return in another moment".

Fourth thing: I mentioned the fascism of Alberto Fernández in pandemic "emergency", I insisted on "human rights first" (implicating that the same justification could be used today for Javier Milei, rightist, for extreme regulations and they would be against it, but I did it in a way that maybe sounded conspiranoic for their tastes). In any case, the user( "anti neutral") said: "I can't take it seriously" and after the owner insisted on my vision is not welcome in the chat (the used words sounded like cersorship, in some form, but always the real anti-stablishment persons are unestimated).

THE CASE: Owner didn't say nothing to say fascist to neutral person but he said it to me for saying fascist to president who had taken a fascist way of government (you can compare Pandemic ways in Mexico or Brazil with Argentina and will understand my view).

Including if owner isn't sure about my view, he shouldn't censor me (I tried many times to return to software topic but "anti neutral" user attacked my view and insisted on the thing that "you must explain your view after saying that". But owner and antineutral are complementary in forcing one point of view ("kirchnerism").

In any case, i only want to talk about software, see code, share code...

This guy was really traumatized by a mod (--easy ban--, a tyranic otaku who enjoys the extreme control in the small bubble that is this website).

My friend was whining frequently... I intended to help. I create an account and said: "the mod will trust if use it for one month". But my idea needs that he uses a VPN for masking his IP (his country, unfortunately he is the unique user from his country and mod bans immediatelly). VPNs turn off while he navigates and show his location... then, it is not successful.

Other persons were before mod: "please, forgive him... he is a good guy". But mod says: "he surpassed all of limits and is no more welcome". Really, he was banned and created new account, offending to mod. It's all of his wrong doing: be angry for an injustice.

My friend said: "so much problem for this fckng site... better I pass off it". And I invited him and others to my new little tree house, recently created (for them). But no one came. It's really weird way of people whining and after not doing a thing so simple to resolve it.

NOTE: I didn't have a real need of tree house, I made it for them

Me venting about native english-speakers

Before, my maximum respect to W. Shakespeare, L. Carroll and other artists. Let them out of it.

1. Americans: i would be American too, because America is a continent. Then, a semi-communist guy proposed call them "USonians", clearing the ambiguous language.

2. My worst problem in english is adjective position: "a guy tall fat... oh, no... a tall fat guy" (swapping constantly adjectives position at writing). You can't imagine the wasted time for this cause, but I'm not blaming you.

3. "El/La... spanish is so weird". Seriously? did you see your language?

"Ella me quiere" - "She loves me" (not I)

"Yo soy querido por ella" - "I am (be)loved by her" (not she)

"Yo la quiero [a ella]" - "I love her" (not she again)

NOTE: "She/her" vs "Ella/ella"

* Trans person appears*

"Tell me they/them" (eh? plural noun for single person??? you lost me)

4. Dog (me: 🙎‍♂️dogo or 🙎‍♀️doga?)

male dog/female dog 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ perro/perra

little male dog/little female dog 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♂️ perrito/perrita

🤦🤦🤦🤦

NOTE: english language struggle so much for merge common pieces, it put adverbs and things before noun without worries (it implies that they never thought in this problematic)

5. "spanish is not gender friendly"

No, I fix it: "people is not gender friendly"

Spanish language is so flexible, you can do:

"elle" (el+ella)

"le" (not elegant "el"+"la" but possible)

It is the LGBT community but not mainstream, they replace to E all of A/O letters.

perro/perra/perre

LAST THING:

I'm not "a language nazi" but I am pointing you that your language is not perfect, like certain delirious guys believe. You must be thankful that you don't need learn another language to communicate internationally but don't abuse.
