Alternately what if the most egregious claims of sexual violence were made up by the opposing side to justify their overblown response?

I'm not going to fault you for blindly repeating what you may have heard, but you need to know also it may not necessarily be true.

Reported as "Altered headline" but it looks current as of right now? 🤔

No, because as I stated before, you're pushing Russian propaganda sites. We are not allowing Putin forward thinking in our groups.

Explain to me how "Dragon" is a gender. It's cool. I'll wait.

I'm not interested in replying to people who have already calcified their opinions. It's not possible to change their minds, all I can do is make my position clear for OTHER people reading the thread, which means I get private messages like this:

In that case, mission accomplished!

I have never failed to remove posts about genocide denial. That's an incredibly serious topic and I lean quite heavily on the Geneva definition of genocide as you can see in my post history.

If something got missed, I may not have seen it or it may not have been reported. The most common comment I saw was "It's not a genocide! They only killed like 200,000 people!" (see point "a" below, you don't have to wipe out everyone for it to be a genocide).

Israel's action against Palestinians is a genocide, as is Russia's action in Ukraine, China's action with the Uyghur and Myanmar's action with the Rohingya (that nobody seems to give 2 shits about).

It only takes ONE of the below categories to be a genocide, Israel has run the table going 5 for 5.

https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/genocide-conv-1948/article-2

"In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

I am working on replies today, coming off 3 consecutive 12 hour work days. I'll check those links shortly! Sitting on 26 messages now.

They were provided specifically to members of the Community team, but I'm honestly not sure who's left from back then. A few others got bulied off Lemmy in similar fashion.

It's not ACTUALLY about Antifa:

"I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices."

This is his excuse to go after George Soros based on the anti-Semitic lie that Soros is funding Antifa:

Not sure if news about comic book cancellations is "in theme" with the community.

Making a new variation on my chocolate orange chocolate chip cheesecake today, this time with banana instead of orange:

I've made variations on this dozens of times, normally with either a store brand cream cheese or Philly cream cheese (depending on how much I like my guests 😅), but this time I subbed in Tillamook instead...

After warming it so it would mix well, I put the bricks in the bowl and they just seemed WET. I was seeing visible liquid at the bottom which doesn't normally happen.

After mixing, the batter seemed a lot soupier than normal. Still baking so I guess we'll see where it's at in 8 hours. I guess worst case is it will need to bake longer than the normal 8 hours.

I've posted the recipe before, but it seems cruel to mention it and not include it. You really can sub out the liqueur and extract with whatever flavor you think plays well with chocolate. Traditionally orange, but I've done Frangelico and hazelnut extract as well.

Chocolate Orange Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Makes 16 to 20 servings

Ingredients:

1 cup dutch processed cocoa powder
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 pounds cream cheese, room temp
2 teaspoons orange extract
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup orange liqueur (Grand Marnier)
5 eggs
12 ounces mini-chocolate chips (important that you use MINI-chips)

Preheat oven to 200F. This is a low temp, slow bake cheesecake.

Spray the interior of a 2-quart souffle dish or 9-inch cheesecake pan with spray shortening and dust with 1/4 cup of the cocoa powder. Set aside. This bakes into a dark chocolate crust.

In a large bowl mix the cream cheese and the sugar until smooth and soft, scraping the sides of the bowl and spoon as necessary. If the cream cheese is too cold to mix easily, float the foil packages in a sink full of warm water for 10 to 15 minutes.

Mix in the remaining 3/4 cup of cocoa powder, vanilla and orange extracts, liqueur and eggs until the batter is well blended. 

Stir in the chocolate chips. The temperature is low enough that full size chocolate chips will not melt all the way and give it a weird texture.

Pour and scrape the batter into the prepared pan and place in the oven.

Bake for 6 to 8 damn hours or overnight. 

Cool on a rack to room temperature.

Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap or wax paper and an inverted plate.

Invert. Remove the pan and refrigerate cake upside down for at least 1 hour. (If you need to leave the house, the cake can stay refrigerated all day.) 

Invert a serving plate over the cheesecake and invert the cake.

Remove the top plate and the paper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Cut with a long, sharp knife dipped in warm water to prevent sticking.

Jordan's note: There is a secret to "removing the pan" when dealing with a cheesecake... 

Take the pan and turn it vertically, the cake is so heavy the top edge will pull away from the edge of the pan. 

Rotate the vertical pan 45 degrees and let it pull away from the edge again. 

Go all the way around the pan. Now when you turn it upside down the cake will pop right out of the pan.

Not in the recipe, but I decorate the top with candy orange slices:
