You haven’t said “2024 will be the year” because you’re thinking life will be depressing from here on out and nothing will improve.

I haven’t said “2024 will be the year” because it’s always “the year” for me regardless of what I say or don’t say.

We are not the same.

my favourite take on this is to have characters fighting in groups, then it becomes obviously necessary to call out moves so others know what’s going to happen and can know to not stand on the other side of the enemy that’s about to be showered in flame.

it also makes a nice contrast between solo fighters and those who simply don’t care about collateral damage: some villains can be pure chaos, you can have rogue heroes who just end up hurting innocent people because they don’t coordinate, and villains who do coordinate will look way more threatening because they aren’t hurting themselves.

Well, they’ve gone down in price to the point that they’ll be in people’s stockings. And getting immature with them is always fun.

Remember: they can also make a simply fantastical array of fart sounds. “Alexa: open Big Fart” is the magic phrase.

seriously remember when these first came out circa 2014 and only wealthy people were buying them? Then Amazon saw what power they had in their hands recording all audio from within people’s homes, they brought the price down way low so even Neanderthals can have these now. Oh the spying possibilities!

MonkeMischief,

Like how they have a complete surveillance network of “Ring” devices on 98/100 homes in American suburbs?

You’d think it was mandatory. It’s so creepy. I don’t even wanna think how many cameras catch me from all angles just walking down the street.

Not a fan of how “meta” is swarming the VR market with loss-leader headsets either. Lord knows the kind of data they’re pulling from those things, and on top of it, they’re turning VR into another mobile-trash market in the process. But that’s another conversation.

SpaceNoodle,

I set up a button that makes her say “fart” when I press it

Then a few minutes later she says “fart” again

My wife claims she doesn’t think it’s nearly as funny as I do, but I caught her giggling once

balderdash9, (edited ) in friendly PSA: not all jews are white

People think that Jews in Israel are a monolith, but they actually come from different places and so have vastly different points of view.

For example, European Jews tend to favor a two-state solution whereas Arab and Russian Jews tend to disagree.

lugal,

Disagree as in Free Palestine or as in eliminate all moslems?

roguetrick, (edited )

Free Palestine

You're missing one state solution. That's what's essentially going to happen as things go. They're depopulating gaza with the plan to eventually grant citizenship to the reduced population of Palestinians so they can maintain a jewish majority. West bank alone wouldn't cause a loss in majority, but Gaza would. They won't grant right of return. Though that is genocide.

lugal,

But is that what the Arab Jews want?

LaChaleurDeLaNuit,

Arab Jews were expelled from their homeland (every single Arab/Muslim country) so they don’t exactly have a fond memory of living among Muslims.

But they live just fine with Israeli Arabs and just as any other human being they want to live in peace.

Amaltheamannen,

Only after the creation of Israel and he Nabqa. Berore that Jews and Muslims lived mostly in peace.

ArtikBanana,

Forgive me, but I’m going to copy-paste another post of mine.

And more
“In 1656, all Jews were expelled from Isfahan and forced to convert to Islam because of a common belief that their Jewishness was impure.”
“in 1661 they were allowed to revert to Judaism, although they were still required to wear a distinctive patch on their clothing.”

LaChaleurDeLaNuit,

Meh, if you can call the dhimmi status a peaceful life, yeah I guess.

Anyway as soon as a Jewish state was declared, all the Arab countries attacked it, I wonder why. So now they didn’t want Jews in their Arab countries, and they didn’t want them in their Jewish country. So where exactly were they supposed to live?

Amaltheamannen,

They didn’t want a Jewish colonial state to start annexing Arab land and to drive out the native Arabs, which is exactly what has happened.

LaChaleurDeLaNuit,

What do you mean colonial? Jews are indigenous to Judea and they’ve never left. All the lands were either bought to Arabs or conquered after wars that the Arabs themselves started.

lugal,

Even in the first century, about half the Jews lived outside Judea and it went down from there. And it’s not like they were displaced by moslems. They just left.

i3c8XHV,

I don’t think the word “colonial” means what you think it means.

But just to make sure, what do you think the word colonial means?

LaChaleurDeLaNuit,

What are you talking about, where did you get that?

roguetrick, (edited )

That's a right winger position on the one state solution. I'm not implying that's the only position, but that's essentially the path Israel is walking down right now. The left wing one state solution is much less problematic.

    Maybe if Netanyahu doesn’t sabotage the two state solution we might actually already see one today.

    LaChaleurDeLaNuit,

    So 100% of the responsibility is Israeli?

    masquenox,

    Always have been, apologist.

    i3c8XHV,

    Of course it is the Jews’ fault, if they wouldn’t have existed, the Palestinians wouldn’t have wanted to kill them all and make Palestine Jew-free for the first time in 3,200 years.

    masquenox,

    Of course it is the Jews’ fault,

    Oh look… the antisemites and white supremacists are conflating Jewishness with Israeli citizenship again.

    Yawn.

    masquenox,

    Oh look… the White Supremacism Fan Brigade has shown up.

    Yawn.

    LaChaleurDeLaNuit,

    Disagree as in Arab Jews have kind of a trauma living among Muslims. Also what do you mean by free Palestine?

    Doorbook,

    Islam came about 1440 years ago. Muslims/ Arab empires ruled from Spain all the way to the borders of China and parts of eastern Europe for at least 800 years.

    If they really hated jewish people they wouldn’t be any by now.

    Godric,

    Rome came about more than 2000 years ago. They ruled Italy for at least a thousand years,and parts of Spain to Egypt for a long while.

    If they really hated Christians there wouldn’t be any by now.

    masquenox,

    Yeah… the Romans hated Christianity so much they made it the state religion.

    Whine all you want… it doesn’t change the fact that antisemitism is a western invention.

    Godric,

    Bud, please be less ignorant if you’re going to act so authoritative. You have the world’s history at your fingertips, all a simple search away.

    And African Jews in Israel are secretly sterilised by the state so that they can’t have children. Leading to a 50% birth rate decline compared to other groups

    Reuben spoke to one woman who believed she had been given a flu vaccination and had no idea she had been injected with Depo-Provera.

    Another was pregnant with her fifth child when she arrived in the transit camp, where she would live for seven years. The woman in her thirties told Reuben that officials had gathered together all the new mothers in the camp and told them they would be given Depo-Provera as it would be too difficult for them to give birth Israel.

    "No, we didn't want to take it, we refused. We said we didn't want it," the unnamed woman recalls in the film. She agreed to the injections only because she was told her immigration to Israel would be blocked and she would receive no further healthcare in the camps if she refused.

    "This happened to many, many other women," Reuben said.

    Probably should edit your comment from “secretly sterilized” to “allegedly secretly provided contraceptives”.

    Being sterilized and being given contraceptives are wildly different things.

    I wouldn’t want to lie.

    Israel can be held accountable for its crimes without white washing them, thanks.

    stevehobbes,

    Sorry - does that mean you think contraception and sterilization are the same thing?

    dubyakay,

    It doesn’t. They’ve thanked you for calling them out on accuracy.

    stevehobbes,

    Is that in a different post or comment I can’t see? Their original still refers to sterilization.

    nilloc, (edited )

    Yeah, I’m confused. Depo-Provera is a contraceptive that needs to be administered every 3 months to prevent pregnancy. And it doesn’t end a pregnancy, it’s been deemed safe for pregnant women and women who (unlikely but possibly) become pregnant after an injection.

    It also may help prevent some cancers of the reproductive tract.

    Skeptical of the guardians article or the message that people are taking from it.

    possiblylinux127,

    I think you are missing the point. Jewish people who live outside of Israel can’t be beholden to policies set by Israel. Its also important to note that Jewish is both a religion and a race.

    Don’t let the conflicts in Israel control your treatment of other humans. If we let hate overcome us we could end up with Holocaust type situations (it doesn’t even need to be Jewish hate)

    Son_of_dad,

    Also people who think all all Jews are Israelis. My wife is Canadian Jewish, and she’s not very religious or political. I’m Latino and I know more about Israel than she does, but people sometimes try to put Israel’s baggage on her or her family because of their ancestry. She considers herself Canadian, and her Jewish heritage is a cultural one, not a location.

    It’s gotten so much worse recently. Now you gotta wait 30 seconds, then you gotta wait another 15 seconds to “play” their demo, then once you click on the x or take you to a pop up ad page. Click on the x right after and then it takes you to one more showing of the ad where you gotta sit there for 5 more seconds, and only after all of that can you click on the x to move on with the game.

    These dumb ads have gotten more annoying than they have already been before and it makes me even less likely to try any of their shitty games
