A man of leisure living in the present, waiting for the future.
Sadly, it’s a worse echo chamber. In my experience mods are far more likely to wield power like little dictators and ban for good faith dissent, as there’s no governing body above them to prevent this. I’ve been banned for being pro-Israel by several such petty tyrants.
Upvotes and downvotes are generally per-server though. It’s interesting to see how posts and submissions are regarded on other instances.
Such hyperbole. Democrats do not support genocide and it’s clear you don’t know what genocide is.
I blame the blue dog Democrats who neutralized that majority, not Obama.
“Everything I don’t like is fascism,” & “both parties are the same,” these glib hot takes just provide cover for actual fascism. Biden isn’t sending anyone to mass graves, genius.
Well you’re half right
To a certain degree, as they mentioned in the article regarding the casimir effect. While one cannot keep out the quantum foam entirely, it can be restricted to specific wavelengths by altering the volume of the space.
The quality and variety of what produce you can eat will be much higher, though. There’s a lot of cultivars that don’t make financial sense at scale but are wonderful to eat.
Bravo. You took the unique thing about the setting and character and made it into unique gameplay elements that fit the theme and sounds like fun. Superman’s dilemma is not being able to stop everything despite his power and the rules of the game tell that story. I think you’d be a good game designer if you aren’t already. The only thing I can think to add is maybe Kryptonite makes him have a health bar and diminished powers for a while, so he has to turn from the cat into the mouse for a little while until it wears off, kind of like stars in GTA.
What Wario game are you referring to? I haven’t owned a Nintendo system in a long time.
The AVGN videos on this game were classic.
The rivalry continues to today, as detailed in the link it seems like you didn’t read.
In March 2024, Hamas and its allied groups in the Gaza Strip criticized Abbas’ appointment of Mohamed Mustafa as the Palestinian Authority’s new prime minister following Mohammed Shtayyeh’s resignation. They issued a statement referring to the changes as “formal steps that are devoid of substance” and questioned the Palestinian Authority’s ability to properly represent the Palestinian people. In response, Fatah condemned Hamas as being itself disconnected from the Palestinian people and accused them of “having caused the return of the Israeli occupation of Gaza” by “undertaking the October 7 adventure”.
Later that month, Hamas accused Fatah of sending security officers into northern Gaza in collaboration with Israel, saying it had arrested six individuals and were “in pursuit” of the others. The Palestinian Authority issued a statement refuting the claims by Hamas.
They did exactly that, the two groups kept at parity and fighting each other were Fatah and Hamas.
Yes, they tried to divide and conquer but it backfired, I don’t think they’re doing that anymore.
Hamas must be deposed for meaningful safety, they’ve said they want to do October 7th over and over again. This is a last minute deal for them to try and weasel their way out of ultimate consequences for what they have done.
Occupying Gaza is probably also a good call considering their unilateral withdrawal arguably led directly to October 7th. I expect they will stay, try to implement a puppet government, do a little nation building, and only leave once Gaza is pacified. If this is not possible, expect more annexations and settlements.
Sherman intensifies
A nation isn’t a country? Tut tut.
A nation is a group of people with a common language, history, culture, and (usually) geographic territory. A state is an association of people characterized by formal institutions of government, including laws; permanent territorial boundaries; and sovereignty (political independence). A state may comprise one or more nations (as did the Roman Empire and Austria-Hungary), and a nation may be represented in (or ruled by) one or more (usually contiguous) states, as in the early modern principalities of Germany. A state comprising or dominated by a single nation is often called a nation-state.
I read citations, if you cared to provide any.
am I making a decision that will result in the deaths of more children
I submit binding Israel’s hands and keeping Hamas in power does exactly this, is makes countless future generations of children unsafe and under the control of a terrorist government who uses them as shields.
A person makes a decision. If that decision is almost certainly going to result in the deaths of children, it is the wrong decision. You will never face a simpler moral scenario than this.
It sounds like you’re suggesting that Israel should let Hamas kill Israeli children and civilians uncontested because they are hiding behind their own. Long-Term/big picture, I fail to see how that improves anyone’s safety besides Hamas.
People can argue about justifications in good faith, of course… although ironically in this case, we can’t even do that, since we both know that bombing Gaza to the tune of 90% civilian casualties does nothing to ameliorate the conflict and everything to exacerbate it.
Also, this isn’t a war. Wars are fought between nations, and Israel does not recognize Palestine’s sovereignty. Gaza has no self-determination. There’s no government. It is a prison full of children. An abomination that nobody living in Gaza created, perpetuated from outside.
A nation is different than a country, afaik no one disputes that Palestinians are a nation, but its statehood is hotly contested.
According to Google:
Nation: a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory
Hamas is the government of Gaza, they were elected and bafflingly and unfortunately they still experience widespread support from Palestinians. If elections were held again today, Hamas would win.
That is but one of many reasons to oppose Hamas. Conflating their actions on Oct 7 (content warning: NSFL, cruelty, violence, death) with collateral damage caused while defending and retaliating against them is inappropriate, wrong, and in incredibly bad taste.
Your energy would be better spent objecting to those who provoked this war while using said children as human shields, hiding among civilians, and using otherwise protected areas as military assets. They are the ones subjecting children and civilians to danger and causing these deaths.
Israel has the right to defend itself even though collateral damage exists, and Hamas hiding among their own children does not make them immune from reprisals. If this strategy worked, we could expect more children and other civilians to be subjected to danger in the future as human shields.
My moral rules are applied consistently, I support our modern, western allies who care about civil liberties, and are defending themselves against genocidal opponents. I oppose genocidal belligerent Islamists who attack civilians. Not going to support for a group that would throw me off a building and opposes the enlightenment by forcing Israel to stop attacking them before they are deposed. Doing so is not a good deed.
The best way to keep civilians safe is to let Israel finish the job, because Hamas puts them at risk and is more than happy to kill them or let them die if it serves their geopolitical interests and makes Israel look bad.
Racism and collateral damage exist, therefore Israel shouldn’t be able to defend themselves or retaliate against a genocidal foe? What’s frightening is such reasoning.
Sorry, you don’t get to redefine words and laws.
Did you read the legal definition of genocide I posted above? The definition literally has nothing to do with body count. Call it a massacre, call it a slaughter, call it any number of terms for things you think are bad and don’t like, but calling it a genocide is inaccurate, as I have shown above. Words mean things, especially legal terms.
The ccp stranglehold on electronics? Yeah I’m glad they’re ruining that. At the end of the day, we might have a viable semiconductor business in the United States or in an allied country, which will leave us far better off.
