Yeah shit sucks

Sad news for Russia. If only they made matchmaking lists instead of hit lists

No I don't think of it as the sword of Damocles so much as, look here's this guy that will do anything you want but will go to extreme lengths to get it done, in ways that may go against your original values, now maybe you should consider having a plan as much as you think about being results oriented

I think you're noble in this respect. I don't think many people want to watch others suffer or for there to be war, however responding by blaming Biden for a war that he has no part in is like blaming Trump for the situation in Afghanistan. Imagine before there were nukes, thousands of years ago, a guy could have a lot of horses or camels and be a big time warlord and not want to get involved in someone else's battles let alone feuds.

Sometimes it's not about acting smart or picking sides, it's about being genuine in your lack of input on the issue. The entire Israel-Gaza conflict has been going on since before even Trump's election, and even more of a loaded gun of a topic than Afghanistan.

Yeah man Yemen

Hey look, you could theoretically identify as an anarchist, and have constructive ideas about how a government system could be improved

Someone remind me when the next election is for Israel.

Interesting problem. Is it possible to trim copyright and pointless content, e.g. children's movies, entertainment shorts with less than a certain number of views, which can be used as pointers to redirect to the original content?

Agreed. I went to work over a short period of the lockdowns and also stayed at home, both times were crappy. Generally speaking, I'm not against the lockdowns or the idea of quarantine, however I would argue that although it may have been the best approach for society at large, it certainly made my mental health much worse in a lot of ways, it really opened up the door for my schizoid independent personality and logic overriding paranoia

Boston is very disappointed

Technically the most natural state of tribalism and humanity lol

I don't think there are many people that are seriously pro hamas, just benign or neutral, in respect to the fact that one side which has a large collection of groups working together, the Israeli defense force and US government etc, etc yet has kind of made some blunders and has not played their cards very well.

Even for the USA, after 9-11 and Iraq, when they moved ahead with invading Afghanistan, there was still an attempt to spend some time with negotiation and "state building" despite being seen across the world as barbarian invaders. See, the gift of being ignorant but having a lot of guns is that you don't have as much weight on your shoulders if you screw up, the biggest project could be a highway, but for Israel, they've had a lot of international support and has had more than 50 yrs to resolve the Palestine question, I think it's quite fair to say by now that they're kind of bulldozing just to act like they have easy answers because they have an urban growth problem now more than an actual terrorism problem.

Ironically the fact that they now have a terrorism problem is more a symptom of government incompetence than terrorists actually actively seeking to destroy the state of Israel

To be blunt, even a Zionist here would understand that it's not about being for or against the state of Israel having a right to exist, it's about the issue of the IDF failing to resolve real issues with terrorists while essentially turning a blind eye to repeated problematic behaviours.
