Either way, my 'both-sideism' is mostly the ability to be empathetic to the situation both sides are in currently.

If I were a Palestinian in Gaza, I would be pissed at essentially being born into an open air prison with the boots of another that hates me in my neck all my life. I would be willing to fight, however I could, to strike back at my jailers.

If I were an Israeli, I'd see Gaza as filled with dangerous people who want to exterminate me an my family. I would ideally want them gone, but knowing that's not possible, id want them kept as non threatening as possible in their cage.

Neither side is wrong; if I were Israel I wouldn't want any kind of solution that empowers a group whose stated goal is my death. And I can't blame the anger of the residents of Gaza for their treatment over the decades.

So your stance is Hamas' isn't an asshole?

Israel is asshole.

Hamas is asshole.

I guess it isn't so complex after all.

What makes you say he didn't think accidental civilian deaths were a problem?

I'll tell you, I have my setup to the point where I go to one website, subscribe to a show, and episodes of that show appear to watch on my TV same day they are released.

I also set myself up to get email alerts telling me what new episodes I have to watch when they are done being downloaded.

... Setting all that up took me awhile and will take tech skills. But now that it's set up, it's zero touch aside from adding new shows.

Plus, I never have to worry about trying to find where to stream at it and even if my Internet goes out I can still watch my shows

These signs are rarely locked and are vandalized like this all the time.

This is a non story really.

alot of ppl on fedi are privacy-oriented and focused

I'm aware. I'm just reminding you that most outside the fediverse aren't.

Tell that to the dude who will probably never have a partner.

Not everyone cares so much about that.

Someone knowing things about me in general is not a big deal.

Y'all joke, but we pretty much had this with the La Sirena in Picard.

Yes, they exist, but then so do lesbian women.

The existence of homosexuality doesn't make the gender imbalance any less painful.****

Capitalism has done as much as it has for the advancement of the human species because it aligns with our basic nature (gather and amass resources) while producing and innovating with the unintended side effect of improving quality of life overall.

I still feel that regulated capitalism is the way to go for most industries. The exception is services which should have 100% coverage, such as medical, acidemia or utilities. Those should be government ran.

Wasn't.

It was put on hold while both sides argued for and against it.

The prosecutor won the argument and the hold was removed.

Old timey American slang for black person, meant to have a derogative tone.

I was pointing out that this statement you made:
Gaza has a majortiy of Muslims but never rejected "citizenship" to Jews or Christians.

Is very, very wrong.

I'm not sure this is correct in respect to Gaza.

The requirements for citizenship under pre-hamas in Gaza is your father must be an Palestinian Arab. There is no naturalization process that allows you to bypass this requirement. That is the definition of an ethnostate.

While I can't find any record on if Hamas changed the law, I highly doubt they did considering their political stance.

Realistically a governments first responsibility before anything else is the physical safety of it's citizenship.

If you know a percentage of a population are religious extremists which will never integrate into your society and will probably pose a risk, then how can you, as a government, take them in?

It's a hard sell any way you slice it.

Correct, the state passed a law allowing those cases where statue of limitations have been passed for criminal trails to still sue their attacker in civil court.

It's been suggested this was passed specifically to target Trump, but a good number of sexual assaults never go reported and I believe a few hundred cases have come from this law.

It has since expired, it was only valid for one year.
