This is worse than the idea of putting giant ice cubes in the ocean.

This one is really good lol

I remember watching a lot of RvB. I always wanted to get into RWBY but never got around to watching it. Despite never watching them for years, this makes me sad.

Oh duh lol 😂

And the environment! It's double whammy of an American policy

Trump did that exact thing in a recent speech (I don't watch him but I saw the video clip in a recent Daily Show episode). IIRC, he even literally called Jews who don't support Israel "bad Jews" and ones who do "good Jews". And he's not even Jewish!

First link didn't work for me but second link did. Spelling mistake or something?

That's fair. The last paragraph I should have attributed to the Zionist thought instead of that commenter in particular. I mostly just wanted to demonstrate how the "They want to do an October 7th over and over again!" scare tactic leads to the genocidal thoughts and actions we see happening now. I was commenting while emotional, I'll edit it so it's not so harsh and personally aggressive.

There we go! Thanks

Hamas is a response to Israeli violence and colonialism for the last 70 years. You can depose them but another group will rise up with arms to resist colonialism as long as Israel keeps doing the same thing. And they did before Hamas, so of course they will after. Plus, it will be even harder as these events drive recruitment for Hamas. America didn't get rid of the Taliban by bombing Afghanistan for 20 years, either. It doesn't work.

Israel has been occupying Gaza the whole time despite their rhetoric. They control all their infrastructure and built a big wall to keep them in, and control all travel in and out, plus they constantly spied on them with everything from drones to listening devices to taking random hostages and trying to get info out of them. Gaza doesn't have control of their own food, power, trash, travel, water, sea territory, money, etc. That's basically an occupation, no matter what they say. The only reason to need to take it a step farther and put troops on the inside instead of all along the wall outside is so they can kill more Palestinians.

The scare tactics of claiming they'll never be safe is how you get a genocide, both now and in the past. It's that thought in WW2 that leads to rhetoric like, "We tried to let them live in peace with these stars and putting them in their own spaces in towns, but they keep causing trouble. They even want to do a Warsaw Ghetto Uprising over and over again. We're going to need to kill all the Jews, it's just the only solution."

Is that worth the loss of sales from those 177 or whatever it was extra countries? That's the part that confuses me.

Lol this scene looks so old, and yet it still holds true

Ooh is this shorter versions of the episodes? If so, it's definitely a great idea.

Perfect! We need a community like this.

Anyone know any differences yet? I had always heard good things about 13th Age but never actually got around to playing it. Although it sounded very fun as like a theater of the mind capable 4th edition.

The mad lad actually did it

We need a one-state solution but Israel has stopped every attempt at peace and reconciliation since before it was even a state. They purposefully funded Hamas and have taken key parts of the West Bank to prevent Palestine from having a state. They don't want peace. I don't know why that's so hard for people to understand, especially considering the violence they've been doing to Palestinians for years before October 7th. They put Gaza in an open air prison, cut off travel, electricity, food (they put them on a calorie limit - cruelly calling it putting them on a diet), sleep (the constant buzzing of drones made it difficult to sleep or study in Gaza and constantly traumatized them with stress and fear), Trash, water, etc. I hate the both-sidesing. Hamas is a response to horrible conditions. That's how they recruit. Israel needs to stop being an oppressor, they need to make the move or be forced to do it. It's not a both sides need to be nice kinda situation. One side is a response to the other side's violence and colonialism, one side is a symptom, not the cause.

He's pretty good on most things, except the genocide issue. Which is unfortunate because that's a big one for a whole lot of people. Which makes sense. No one will say Mussolini helped the trains run on time or Hitler's wars helped the German economy. The other bad things they did make those things seem less consequential. Genocide is like that. A lot of people here are lucky because they live in the imperial core, but for others who knows those being affected by the foreign policy, then it's priority rises even more.

I still think this place better than Reddit, though. I think a lot of the good users left, even if a majority weren't politically aligned with original Lemmy. I browse through Reddit front page links when I'm bored at work, but I rarely find good stuff in the comments like I used to. It's just mean and toxic, or vapid and pointless.

Well I like free and I really need to tighten my budget with how expensive everything is getting. Thanks for the recommendations! Now for the hard part of figuring how to change all my passwords from one manager to another lol.
