It is good, and I sometimes drink it myself, but remember to be careful if drinking hot water outside in autumn or early winter.
If a leaf falls from a tree and lands in your cup, you’ll have discovered Tea - and last time that happened, some folk from a tiny island ended up with an empire covering half the planet.
I never actually thought about how tea was discovered, and my new headcanon is that some weird person was just drinking hot water, some leaves fell in their cup, and they were too lazy to just get some clean water
Honestly, I’ve had the light green after taking a vitamin supplement that I did not need. You can get red by drinking a lot of beet juice (the juice in the jar of sliced beets), but if you haven’t done that red is very bad.
Gaza didn’t do that. Hamas did that. And now Gaza is being bombed to smithereens. My comparison sticks. “Why did you make me do this” is such a common thing to hear from narcissists who take no responsibility for their own actions. The IDF do not need to respond to violence with more violence, and nobody is making them. The appropriate and honorable reaction would be to set up the rigorous spy network they should have had from the get-go, and capture and prosecute the actual people of Hamas who assaulted them, not bomb the everloving shit out of Gaza.
What incentive would they have to hold back? The propaganda war was pretty much lost for Isreal after multiple disinformation stories were uncritically amplified by western media. The people who hate them won’t change their mind if they stop. Hamas clearly has to go and what you’re describing might make for a good spy novel but would be a shitty military tactic. What they are doing isn’t pretty but probably necessary and easily justified.
You make two pretty bad assertions here bud. First, there’s no incentive. That’s the point. It’s kind of a big part of self-governing. Like when somebody puts a grocery cart away instead of leaving it in the parking lot, except where this example is ultimately of no consequence, not killing innocent people is the baseline.
Second, military tactic my ass. I’m not talking about military tactics, I’m talking about ways to punish Hamas. There’s a lot of ways to do it, and this GENOCIDE is THE wrong way to do it.
Given the history of the land and amount of casualties, I’d be generous to Israel to even attribute 50% of the fault to Hamas, but I’d like to hear why you believe they are at fault for 90% of it? Got no stakes here outside of the humanitarian crisis, just want to understand better.
They are the ones benefitting from civilian casualties as opposed to Israel. They are the ones shooting from civilian infrastructure and holding their own women and children hostage. So as far as I’m concerned Hamas is getting them killed, either deliberately or because they simply don’t care.
The issue is beyond complex to capture in a single comment.
But the big issue no one will look past (nor should they) is how Israel would fare without US support and iron dome. Or how cease fire resulted in deaths.
Two can be true, Israel government is evil and so is Hamas. But at the same time, Israeli people shouldn’t be pushed under the rug like they don’t matter. It’s hypocrisy to only back Palestine and ignore what Israeli people go through. I don’t think I would be very happy knowing a missile can land on my head at any moment or myself or my family could be murdered/raped/captured any day… Then to add to it, some random redditor will call it “bullshit” because I can’t prove my loved ones are missing.
A comment that forever will haunt me, believe all rape victims unless they’re Jewish. It’s beyond fucked how people picked sides. It’s not a contest of who has it worse. Both populations live in fear and would be wiped out if the opposite government has its way. It’s just happen Israel is going on a bigger rampage and will use any provocation to keep it up.
How do you solve it? I don’t know. As I said, it’s fucked but I’m sick and tired of people painting it black and white because they read a smart looking comment on reddit/twitter/seen stupid uneducated twat make political comments on youtube.
Without hamas doing hamas shit, the global political sphere would have to acknowledge the reality. But both sides are invested into the slaughter continuing.
You must live in western Oregon then, because practically the entire eastern half of Oregon counties have approved ballot measures to secede from the state and join Idaho.
It shows how much people are fueled by culture war nonsense in rural Oregon. I lived in one of the counties that voted to join Idaho and I never heard a single reason from anybody that was reasonable. It was all based on far right talking points about transing the kids or taking the guns. Meanwhile stuff like minimum wage that would actually affect everyone was just ignored.
You don’t have to be stupid to fall victim to propaganda. It happens to literally everyone, every single living human being, in the modern age. We are being assaulted from all sides at all times with conflicting information.
Yes but that doesn’t mean everyone who votes a certain way is a victim of propaganda. Believe it or not, it’s actually possible to take in the arguments from both sides and then make up your mind independently of what those around you think.
Yea idk, when I disagree with something it’s usually because I’ve given it the chance to convince me and it failed. And if I agree with something it’s because I’ve taken the time to understand it. It would be a bit weird to not feel like things I agree with are the right, or better, direction and that the things I disagree with are somehow broken in their reasoning.
That’s supremely condescending. You could help me understand but instead you’re literally just doing what you say others do, assuming anyone who doesn’t believe the same way you do isn’t thinking about it long enough.
Well, let’s say I had a feeling that if I had answered “yes, basically”, then you might have given a condescending response instead. Apologies if I misjudged you.
And no, I’m not suggesting that everyone believe exactly as I do, merely that it is possible to change your beliefs regardless of evidence. Propaganda makes use of this all the time.
Then it sounds like I also misjudged you. I probably saw a subtext that you were wanting the earlier commenter to believe the way you did and that they just hadn’t tried hard enough. Probably just a disconnect at the “if at first you don’t succeed” part.
That style of censorship always struck me as ridiculous, too. It didn’t really avoid the word it’s trying to avoid at all. It just avoids saying it outright while still making clear that the word is “fucked”. It’s like someone wants to be edgy but is afraid of getting in trouble for it.
