The UN report on atrocities in the "Gaza War" of December 2008-January 2009. For anyone interested in the Israel situation.

Here. It's a 570 page report but you can just read the introductory sections which serve as a pretty detailed summary of their findings.

As they state in their Methodology: "The Mission conducted 188 individual interviews. It reviewed more than 300 reports, submissions and other documentation either researched of its own motion, received in reply to its call for submissions and notes verbales or provided during meetings or otherwise, amounting to more than 10,000 pages, over 30 videos and 1,200 photographs."

The report goes into detail about very specific incidents; "it seems 15 civilians were killed here in this way, another 50 here in this way" and so on.

Interesting side note: if you search for the report on google there's a sponsored link to a professional looking site: www.UNGoldstoneReport.com which lambasts the UN report making all sorts of criticisms, completely ignoring the content of the report. Scroll to the bottom and it says the site was produced by "Leyden Communications Group" whose website apparently is www.israelpr.com. Just made me laugh that they didn't even hide the fact that the site was churned out by a PR firm.

The amount of star talent was simply baffling. The Red Wings, led by Lidstrom, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Franzen, Rafalski and company, were Mike Babcock’s finest team. Experienced, battle-tested vets vs. the up-and-coming Penguins, led by Crosby, Malkin, Fleury, Staal, and Gonchar. Throw in Hossa on both sides and an intense game 7 in the latter final. Thoughts?

TIL only 4 Catchers throughout MLB history have ever lead the league in hitting: Eugene 'Bubbles' Hargrave (1926), Ernie Lombardi (1938 & 1942), Joe Mauer (2006, 2008, and 2009), and Buster Posey (2012)

Hargrave led the National League with a .353 all the way back in 1926. His nickname "Bubbles" was because we stuttered with the letter B, apparently, he didn't appreciate the nickname.

Hall of Famer Ernie "Schnozz" Lombardi lead the NL in 1938 with .330 for the Reds (also earned his only MVP that year), and again in 1942 playing for the Boston Braves with .330. Described as a "gentle giant" he was a bit of a fan favorite in Cincinatti and was notoriously slow and "sloth-like". According to sources he was probably around 300 pounds when he retired. God bless him.

Joe Mauer was a career Twin who's #7 was retired after he retired in 2018. His 15-year career boasts 3 batting titles, 3 gold gloves, 5 silver sluggers, 6 all-star appearances, and an MVP in '09 (he led all offensive categories including OPS+). He was also the first Catcher to lead the American League in hitting. Bravo!

And, last but not least, Buster Posey back in 2012 earned the batting title with .336 alongside his one and only MVP award. Only two years removed from his rookie of the year award, and smack dab in the middle of that Giants dynasty that we all surely remember. 3x World Series winner.

[PC] [2008-2009] Obscure horror game featuring a ballerina

Hello, I have been wanting to post on this forum every time I think of this mysterious game that my friend once told me about.

My friend once told me that when she was 6 years old (around 2008-2009), her older brother tried to scare her by making her play this game. She vividly remembers the story, which was about a ballerina who got murdered on stage during a concert, and who now seeks revenge on the player because she assumes that you were her killer. The only way to make her stop stalking you is to recreate the melody to which she was dancing that day. The plot reminds me a little bit of the game Misao but I don’t think that it is the game my friend played.

She said that the ballerina had long black hair and that the graphics were really terrible. The game was set in a school. She also mentioned that what really scared her was that when the ballerina approached the player, she would make a blood-curdling scream.

My friend was searching for this game in vain and claims that her search was so futile that she started to believe that the game was simply banned from the internet. I tried to ask her brother but he was unavailable, and she told me that he probably forgot about it. Similarly to my friend, I also tried to search for this game but I didn’t have much luck with my seeking as well.

If any of you have any ideas on what this might be, please tell me. My friend’s story is fascinatingly mysterious and I would like to put a close on it!

UPDATE: Thank you all for the responses! My friend confirmed it as being White Day (2001). She remembers the spider ghost girl with long black hair who hung on walls, and her brother said that the game looked familiar to him.

Bailing out exchanges is like bailing out banks in 2008-2009. Exchanges that mess up should be allowed to fail and follow the rules like everyone else.

I get trying to help Bitmart out by waiving the 10% fee but that seems like a reward for failure. If you mess up you shouldn't be rewarded. It also sets a bad precedent.

Bailing out banks that break the rules was one of the arguments for crypto. Why are we trying to imitate what we find unfair? Just my opinion. Downvote me to hell idgaf.

[NINTENDO 2DS] [PRE 2008/2009] 2DS RPG Game

There's little I remember but I remember the MC is a kid and he finds some sort of bible/book by a tree which gives him powers. I also vaguely remember him going to a basement to train with an old man? I think he learns some sort of spin attack. These could be two different games but I am hoping that it's just 1. It was in the form of just a 2d rpg game with 8 bit characters I THINK.

At one point in the story, you go into the town and everything is burning down, and I think the people of the city blame you? I remember going into a castle and going into a basement and fighting a boss. I also remember a point in the story where the character is blacked out/almost killed and they wake up in a desert or some sort, I just remember a desert temple where you fight someone

Question about the original DVD releases from 2008-2009.

So, soon Lucky Star will finally be released in German, at a whopping price of 200€+, split it up 4 pseudo-Limited Edition volumes & the OVA... So that insane price, and the fact that a 15-year-old show would still be released in 4 volumes(and the fact some people actually defending those absurd decisions by German publishers), made me wonder... Is there anyone here that can tell me at which price the original volumes of the English release were released for back in 2008-2009? And perhaps also what the original price for the first full release of Lucky Star was?

(And while we're at it, is there anyone here that perhaps even knows the original price, for the first Japanese release?)

I'm just wondering because the recent English Dubbed Blu-Ray + DVD & Blu-Ray + Digital Combo Packs are available for around 25-35$. Was it always this cheap? Or did it need 10-15 years for it to become that cheap?

You'll see a lot of these hoary claims of "human shields" in Gaza to justify Israel's deliberate and indiscriminate bombardment of civilians. They used the same line in the 2006 Lebanon war and multiple wars in Gaza. Don't fall for it.

Source: Sarah Leah Whitson

In 2006, Israel repeated this lie to justify killing 900 Lebanese civilians, basically treating all of South Lebanon as "shielded" by Hezbollah and so fair game.

"Human shielding" is a specific crime: it refers to purposefully using civilians to render military forces immune from attack. Taking over a family's home and not permitting the family to leave to deter the enemy from attacking is a simple example of using "human shields."

Urban warfare, however, is not the crime "shielding". In an area as densely populated as Gaza, combatants and civilians are mixed. They shouldn't be, but it's not always avoidable.

Israel is not relieved from its obligation to take into account the risk to civilians simply because it considers the defending party responsible for having located legitimate military targets within or near populated areas.

That is, the presence of a Hamas commander or military facility in a populated area in Gaza does not justify attacking the area without regard to the threatened civilian population. Giving them "warnings" to leave doesn't give them license to attack either.

So, even after warnings given, Israel must still take all feasible precautions to avoid harming civilian life & property. This includes canceling an attack when apparent that the target is civilian or that the civilian loss would be disproportionate to expected military gain.

For a real example of "human shielding" see this case of IDF forces using a Palestinian boy as a human shield when they attacked a Palestinian home.

Israel's #1 defense for hundreds of Gazans it killed in 2008/09 war was "human shielding". But in investigation after investigation, Human Rights Watch found no evidence, not in deaths caused by white phosphorous; not in attacks on civilians waving white flags.

It offered up the same "human shielding" claim to treat all of Gaza as "terrorist" and indiscriminately bombard the territory in 2014.

As HRW said back then: β€œIsrael would never acce
