@infreq Why does it have to be articles? I've read a few of them that are connected from people on Mbin but I like genuine people posting on smaller communities and things.
Honestly despite some decent points he kinda comes off as the first incel. We was all sorts of angry the girl he met while working for his brother (she did too,) rejected him. He never got over it and harassed her so much his brother fired him and he returned to the cabin.
He can be all 3, an incel, right about technology enslaving and destroying our collective knowledge and a goddamn monster for bombing people.
Well, if the terrorist leaders ask you to do something for them, and you do exactly what they ask, but “for different reasons”, I definitely have some questions.
I already explained in a different thread, that genocide is purposeful elimination of some nation or ethnicity. For something to be genocide you need an ethnicity and a goal to eliminate it.
Palestinian is not an ethnicity, it’s just a place where you live, like Californian. And Israel doesn’t have a goal to eliminate them. The target is Hamas, a terrorist organization.
On the contrary, the target of Hamas is elimination of all Jews, which is an ethnicity. They don’t even hide their goal, you can read their charter.

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
As ethnic cleansing has not been recognized as an independent crime under international law, there is no precise definition of this concept or the exact acts to be qualified as ethnic cleansing.
A United Nations Commission of Experts mandated to look into violations of international humanitarian law committed in the territory of the former Yugoslavia defined ethnic cleansing in its interim report S/25274 as “… rendering an area ethnically homogeneous by using force or intimidation to remove persons of given groups from the area.”
In its final report S/1994/674, the same Commission described ethnic cleansing as “… a purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas.”
And Israel doesn’t have a goal to eliminate them. The target is Hamas, a terrorist organization.
And Nestle is a good company that bring you good product that changed the world.
On the contrary, the target of Hamas is elimination of all Jews, which is an ethnicity.
You just repeated what I just said, adding “religious” in bold.
There are plenty of Muslims in the Israeli army, and some of them are currently fighting in Gaza for Israel. There’s nothing religious about this conflict.
The term “nation” along with “nationalism” was invented in England in the 1600s. Before that, people didn’t know they belonged to any nation, they identified themselves with religious groups.
And again, Palestinian is not a nation, it’s just where you live. If you moved to Gaza, you’d become Palestinian.
Creating posts is not the only way of making engagement. Even though it’s better than having a community of 0 posts, I still would be sad to look at a community that has one new post daily but doens’t get any votes or comments.
Within time not getting engagement can become demoralizing to the content creator. Why bother if you don’t get anything in return? (Been there, felt that - and in many occasions.)
Fellow wendigooner? He made some great points yeah but he also falsely attributed most of societies misgivings to the progress of technology rather than the actual culprit, capitalism.
Besides that he was basically just a grifter and didn’t really care much about the exact ideology. He only really cared about how it justified his hatred for people and love for nature.
I would love to but then I’d have to restrain myself from not permanently rolling my eyes to the back of my head with some of the replies. I speak from experience elsewhere.
What do you mean? Negative or constructive criticism? Negative votes?
Hardship is a part of life. That goes to criticism as well.
I am willing to take risks of bad feels for the sake of trying to make places more active. Luckily I’ve been doing much better than what I first anticipated!
No pain, no gain.
I’m not complaining about the hardships of life. And it’s not necessarily the pointless criticism but replies from people who miss the point entirely, get random ideas of why I posted things, type up some throwaway nit-picking commentaries over the most trivial things, or just being all around rude and condescending instead of downvoting and moving on, etc. And what do I get in return for putting up with that? Imaginary internet points. I get the same feeling of participation from just commenting with a fraction of the effort, so I’d rather do that.
I’d just ignore such folks. Plus I have yet to meet those folks - even after 62 posts I have done!
I don’t go for Internet points only. That also fuels me to trying coming up with something of quality, but it’s also the good discussions and possibly providing something interesting to folks to read/look at and to make them even think about stuff that gets me going 😄 Kicking in some extra activity in these communities!
But the same can be achieved with comments - you’re right with that one.
Making a post can require more thinking and effort, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I have spent more effort on a comment than on making a post!
The feel and interaction is different with a post and a comment. A post can wake up all sorts of commenting and a post is “more visible” to people who sees it as they scroll away. Comments of course also provide activity within a post/community, may generally be less visible to more people (you have to click a post open to see comments) and they can also gain all the off-topic commentary on them - just like in a post.
Not saying that commenting is worse than creating a whole post. Both have their reasons to exist and their places to be used.
I have nothing to share. Funny thing is, as an IT person, I’ve even built my own blog just to have one and share obstacles and solutions I find during my developer journey, and then, once I finished and published it, I was thinking “damn, now what should I post about?” My blog is almost empty ever since then. So… yeah. As for me, I have absolutely nothing to share and I’ve made the extra mile to not share anything.

So, is the almost because it does cover the making of and then stops afterward, or…It’s the wonderfiller text only? 😂

I liked GrapheneOS but I didn’t like the pixel hardware personally
I would echo what OP said there, I had to get a temporary replacement phone while my main one was getting a screen repair, and I was amazed at how good a Galaxy A was for the price. Think it was about £120 or so, and it’s a great phone.
