  • Releasing hostages was NOT something Israel said would end the conflict. They pulled that little line out of their agreed deal. Temporary ceasefire if they release all hostages…so…long enough to look pretty for the camera and then start it all over again.

    You’ve said before that the only actions taken in the last 70 years in that region were from Palestinians attacking Israel, ignoring every single event that Israel took the lion’s share in. Are you being willfully ignorant as to avoid finding out details you don’t like?

    Not a single person in this thread is praising Hamas, no one is advocating for the death of civilians, or celebrating it. But they are calling out dehumanizing behavior, like personally signing (with a cute message no less) bombs that may or may not be dropped on civilians. Historically speaking, like, within the last week even, we can assume some of those bombs were dropped on designated safe zones.











  • That’s not brainteasers or evil, there’s a fucking wall of text of nuance in front of you, you should read it. He’s not saying it’s good, or that it’s right, he’s saying it’s smart to leave.

    If you want to live, with the best chances, leaving makes sense.

    If you want your children to grow up somewhere where they don’t fear for their lives, leaving makes sense.

    If you don’t want to be subject to the attacks of a hostile nation that is basically mandated to be directly next to you, leaving makes sense.

    It’s terrible, I would hate to have to leave my home and the place of my community due to violence. But I am not so attached to any piece of land that it is worth more than my life or the life of my family. If people choose not to leave, I understand the reasoning, but I still believe it a safer and smarter option to leave.



  • I think they’re saying it’s an issue specifically in reference to how employee wages have grown in comparison. If we look at previous decades, you’ll see that CEO and other executive level pay has increased substantially, and has absolutely left employee pay in the dust. That isn’t to say people shouldn’t be paid more for a good or important job, but we should probably be keeping a watch to ensure those with plenty don’t take even more from those with little. And if those at the top are taking more, historically, than their fair share, then that needs brought in line.






  • I like to watch a couple guys for cooking, J Kenji Lopez -alt and binging with babish are really great channels for that kind of thing.

    I still sub to the Awesome Games Done Quick channel, they do the big charity speedruns. I don’t watch most of them but there’s a few gems in there.

    Videogamedunkey is still great. His real life person stuff from earlier in his channel really turned me off from the guy, but everything else is stellar.

    Electroboom is a great channel for electrical engineering knowledge, but it’s broken down in a way that makes it easier to understand for people like me that don’t know electrical engineering. In general a pretty entertaining watch and I always learn something or get something popular debunked.
