If you demilitirize Israel it will be destroyed, there will be no more Jewish state, and most of the people who live there will be killed and we'll be at real threat of a legitimate genocide.

Israel doesn't need to demilitarize. They need to stop genociding the Palestinian people as a whole for the crimes of a small group of terrorists who committed an atrocity.

What they're doing is no longer something rational people can classify as self-defense. The number of refugee camps attacked by the IDF in just the last week stands in evidence of that.

This is an amazing achievement, but at the same time makes me think of all these dystopian sci fi movies where body organs are seen as commodities for the rich to live as long as possible. Sure, its mostly donated for now, but how long until a company comes along working as an organ broker between the rich and the needy.

We've kinda been living it since Steve Jobs got to fly around the country shopping for organs to save him from cancer...

We dont need billionaires to cease to exist entirely. As long as they dont wield the ridiculous amount of economic and political power they currently do.

That's why taxing them to the point they can't be billionaires is the first necessary step.

The choppers indiscriminately opened fire on "thousands of terrorists within the settlements?"

U.S. says it has not found evidence of war crimes in Gaza.

We're doing an inverse yellow cake for the international community now? Everyone knows and we're going to use a wet-cardboard thin pretense to let Israel continue a month of attempted genocide?

Should be a big, self-reflective, "Are we the baddies?" moment, but somehow I don't think it will be. For some reason.

But people should also stop referring to what Israel is doing as a genocide as if its fact. Its overly incisive and possibly offensive language when they are facing a genocidal group that unleashed a horrible terrorist attack upon them and wants to wipe them from the face of the Earth.

You can walk and chew gum at the same time, right? Israel is, and has been for decades, attempting a Palestinian genocide.

And, yes, Palestine's original charter says Israel shouldn't exist.

Looks like two things are true at once: hamas terrorists and Israel have determined genocide is right for each other. You've got two genocidal groups at each other's throat, and there's nothing offensive about calling an attempted genocide by Israel an attempted genocide by Israel.

I wish I'd kept a list of the people here who literally said Israel has zero responsibility for anything that happens post October 7th.

I'm sure you'll have a chance if you keep watching these topics. They've been pretty adamant about it.

hockeybub89 posted...

Calling their bluff and bombing right through the civilians honestly makes the "defenders" just as bad. It's like opening fire on a crowded bank because the robbers are deliberately using it as cover.

Reminds me of a story where cops shot up the queue outside a restaurant or nightclub, injuring several and killing at least one... while not once hitting the suspect they were pursuing into the area.

A shame I can't dig into the 261 archives and find that instance, but maybe someone else remembers it?

Well if you personally know the data on the well being built in areas of Africa that were in desperate need of a well built and that it solved the water issues in those areas, you could share it.

Sounds like almost every place in Africa could use a well. UNICEF says 30 minute round trip. Other sources, but multiple sources, I don't recognize say it's something like 5-6km to get clean and drinkable water.

Gotta believe that any well is a good well at that point.

Harris is failing spectacularly at her job, so she probably doesn't deserve to be paid.

The VP's job on paper is literally, "Don't do anything, and hope your boss doesn't die."

Anything beyond that scope has been assumed by veeps in the past, probably because they were just that bored.

WTF did he do out of high school to be making a living wage

A good union job that he and Reagan probably helped killed while his children were in diapers in the 80s.

People out here talking about how bad the MCU is must not even be old enough to drive. They have zero conception of how bad comic book movies actually were at one point.

Go back. Look at the comic movies that came before. The Spirit, The Phantom, Seth goddamn Rogan in The Green Hornet. Sin City tried hard, but ended up being tryhard. The original Howard the Duck is just infamously bad. Depending on your age, knowledge of the source material, and level of nostalgia, TMNT and The Mask were... not the best (all love to Jim Henson Workshop for the magic they did anyway on the former, though--those effects were childhood-defining). Judge Dredd, anyone? Green Lantern or any of the incarnations of Fantastic Four top out recent memory. Remember the dumpster fire that was X3? And that's just the beginning of a list probably longer than the GameFAQs character count will allow.

People need to stop bitching about phase 5 and show some appreciation for what we've got.

And then cut them some slack for having to solve for the entire workaround due to Boseman's passing. There was a lot, as I understand it, planned around him.

A mid-tier MCU film is leagues better than what we used to get. And a mid-tier comic book movie is something we can live with instead of complaining when it's not High Cinema. Some people need to temper their expectations accordingly.

This is assuming you believe they were going to nearly establish a very well polished game even with time and resource. The game was way too ambitious and that was part of its failing.

Ya, I'd be interested in what actually the Tran "debate" is also. I know what Hatred against Trans and Tran bigotry is but not what the "debate" is.

To people like legdrop or Republicans, the debate is, "Should they even be allowed to exist?" and go from there.

invertedlegdrop posted...

The trans pro or anti debates that have been on news outlets for the past few years now ( everything from bathrooms to athletes) don't be obtuse...

Or sometimes they just say, "Oh, you know the debate," and expect us to understand. Like this example here.

Sandalorn posted...

There is no way that smiles weren't shining bright at Fox News, Newsmax, etc when it was reported the shooting was done by a Transperson. I bet there were high-fives going on all over the place.

Jeanine Pirro probably has a Janine Melnitz impression all ready to go, so she can be be first to scream, "We got one!" and hopes to her fake evangelical prosperity God that she gets to say it on some Halloween one year, too.

(you lose preferred pronouns when you kill innocent people imo)

Except you don't.

I've never seen you disrespect the pronouns of Chapman, Kaczynski, McVeigh, Harris, Klebold, Chauvin, Roof, Netanyahu, Holmes (James or HH), or even Trump.

You're not disrespecting pronouns because the shooter killed innocents. You're disrespecting pronouns specifically because they're trans.

Your opinion is wrong and transphobic.

There's plenty of ways to condemn and excoriate murdering scum without being a transphobe. You've chosen not to, though.

Does this mean Palestinian immigrants or just in general?

Given the Republicans' track record, there's probably one sentence for Palestinians and one for every other immigrant, just to make sure they can ninja all of them out of the country.

Because racism.

Aren't there some Israeli thirst traps who come from the region they could use instead?

I mean, if you're going to make the effort to propagandize like that, make the effort, you know?

This is how Americans enable genocides.

Firefox certainly popularized browser extension but it was Internet Explorer 4 that first pioneered browser extension during the IE vs Netscape days. It was called Browser Helper Objects (BHO) back then. IE5 then allowed you to add entries to tool menu and icon to toolbar with BHO just like modern extensions nowadays.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/ms976373(v=msdn.10)

Tabbed browsing was invented by InternetWorks browser. After AOL acquired InternetWorks, Firefox adopted the feature following the browser wars.

Waiter friend told me many, many years ago you should not do this. (He worked Red Lobster. It might have been specific to that one, but I've taken it generally as a rule, and just bring the plates closer to the edge instead of stacking them.)

Here's the shortest article I could find to relay why not. The answer mostly amounts to: they were trained a certain way, or they have their own system and you're just making it hard for them.

They appreciate the thought, but just wish you wouldn't. Most of the time.

Opera has been Chromium for a decade.

This was the best article describing generic non-Chromium options that I could find: https://stackdiary.com/web-browsers-not-based-on-chromium/

Almost all the other articles and links I found are woefully out of date (listing Brave as non-Chromium) or reference specifically privacy-oriented browsers that have unique scopes of service that might be too niche for, "I just don't want to use Chrome," people.
