I know that the Berlin Museum still has the bust of Nefertiti, but I'm not 100% sure then they ''acquired'' the bust.

I admit, I misread it as 'rejects' at first, then I noticed which sub this was and read the title again.

I'm really glad that despite the terrible history and diplomatic relations between the two, the Armenians still found the kindness to send aid and help to Turkey in it's hour of need and that the Turkish government allowed the aid in. Hopefully this will have a long term positive impact on Turkish-Armenian relations.

A life saved is a life saved human or otherwise. Also , the rescue of that dog will bring some joy and stability to the lives of his/her family in this terrible time.

Yes it's tragic that so many have died, but it's uplifting because a life was saved from that fate.

Thought this was quite an interesting article and knew that it'd be a good idea to share it here. Whilst I'd judge that the title of the Article's use of the Rosetta stone is a clickbait gimmick, to get eyeballs and clicks, the article itself is still decent and interesting, so worth a read. I didn't the previously know that there was a major revolt during the Ptolomaic dynasty.

They are an autarkic (Virtually) closed system economy, which means that they have to make everything they need by and for themselves, so yes of course they have industries even if said industries production is often insufficient and key resources scarce or unavailable.

No? they are halting all businesses and Factories etc. this is very disruptive to supply chains and is out of the ordinary.

They don't have many tests, so maybe they are just being overly cautious with calling it covid without the means to be 100% sure. Idk what befit it would have though.

The Western news outlets do tend towards being biased against North Korea and exaggerate stories to sensationalize the nation. This Does, however seem pretty serious and unexaggerated as it was announced by the DPRK government themselves and the news is just repeating what the North Korean Health authorities have said.

It doesn't help that they are also currently going through a nasty cold snap (-30^(oc) in places) too.

I'm not saying that dialogue itself is useless per se, but rather individualised dialogue like this, when the issue is a systemic one originating from the overall goals of the group/society. Small actions like these can't change the fact that the aim of the Israeli state is to completely colonise Palestine and erase it's statehood and the rights of the Palestinian people in favour of Israeli citizens. Dialogue/diplomacy must be accompanied by systematic, sweeping top-down changes to the nature of the israeli goals with regards to Palestinian lands for thid conflict to be resolved. Trying to all get along and be friends just won't cut it.

I'm not trying to strawman. But when you have groups who's altimate goal is the surpression and/ or extermination of your own group of people, dialogue is pointless. obviously people's personal views can vary somewhat here but we are talking moreso about the objectives of the group as a whole. To give another example would you be happy if they did this sort of program with a group of Ukrainians and Russians? would that be worthwhile and productive in your opinion?

This is silly. It's pointless to have political dialogue and understanding when the whole argument of one side is that they want to ethnically cleanse and expell your people and are taught to view you as a lesser being. Imagine if in South Africa they had just peacefully talked an end to apartheid instead of protesting, fighting and sanctioning it. because both sides saw the common ground - basically the argument if this study. Doing so is suicide for groups in such situations.

I skim read it, but must have missed that part/glossed over it. in that case I don't see too much of a problem here.

well then who put it there, if not the state legislature, and if it was the legislature then that surely counts as a mixing of government and religion?

Exactly, but there is an amendment in the US constitution that says it shouldn't be there.

So as long as it's a minority religion you'd be ok with it being involved in politics?

That's religious though, the menorah is being lit in celebration of hannukah which is explicitly tied to Judaism.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." - this is blatant favoritism towards a single religion by the local government. It's not uplifting, its a violation of the separation of church and state. Doesn't matter if its Jewish, or if it was a Christian, Muslim ect. Display, it should not be in a secular government building.

What about it? Yes it mentions that the number of Tapirs has greatly declined in recent times and that the Species is endangered, but that is what makes the news about this new born one so much more important/uplifting.

This is wonderful news. the hard part is now going to be the reconciliation and rebuilding process, the Abiy government will no doubt have to acquiesce giving some form of autonomy to the Tigray region for this to be a lasting peace. I wish them the best of luck with the peace process, this war has gone on for far too long and claimed far too many lives. 🕊🕊☮
