Ya, perhaps. Time has taught my optimistic ass to be a pessimist where the IDF is involved. Or conservatives. Or… you know… People. ;)

You expect too much of the IDF.

So if a terrorist broke in to your home, locked you, your wife, and your kids in the basement, then launched a rocket from your bedroom window, you’d be 100% OK with the IDF turning your house in to rubble and your family in to compost? Really? Get a fucking grip, buddy.

Do we need AI for this? It’s already super easy to tell fake news from real.

Is it on BBC/CBC/Routers/AP? It’s probably real.

Is it on Forbes/Facebook/Xitter? It’s probably garbage.

Doctorow is a gem. Great article, thanks for posting. I basically agreed with everything he said.

Too true. :(

And the same morons will vote for PP here. Np brains, just slogans and anger.

Ya, good thing they stayed home. Gaza and Ukrain will thank them. (/s in case it’s not blinding obv. Fuck everyone who didn’t vote, yall are morons.)

Come on up to Canada. We’ve been suffering brain drain for ages, and could sure use some scientists and doctors!

Nothing racist about it. I don’t care if you’re white, black, or purple. I don’t hate the followers of Islam, but the religion itself is utter trash - as are all religions, and especially Abrahimic ones. Patriarchal bullshit.

Absolutely nothing.

People on the left (myself included) often conflate “recognizing the religion of Islam as harmful brainrot” with “people who follow Islam suck and should be hated.”

I don’t hate the people, but I sure do hate the brainrot. Same with Christianity, really.

She’s a woman, so… no.

Unsurprising that a nation that’s ok with genocide (as long as it’s not them!) would be sucking up nationalist rhetoric like it’s mother’s milk.

We seriously need to stop funding their bullshit. Take the money/weaps we send to Isreal and give it to Ukrain instead.

He thinks he has God on his side.

I ate your bees!

Isreal only lets journalist murders go unpunished because it’s the IDF doing the murdering. They’re not going to prosecute their Schutzstaffel, after all.

Haiti, otoh, seems to be crime ridden and just unable to properly investigate as a result.

They don’t care if we want it. They want the info it’ll give them. This isn’t for us, it’s for them.

The rich control the laws and they don’t want to contribute.

I just got a Keychron Q3 HE and it’s amazing. Bit pricy, but it’ll last forever because it’s fully repairable. Even comes with all the req’d tools to disassemble. QMK/VIA, too!

Yup, that’s what we do as well. 30tb of music, TV, and movies. All available to me and my friends wherever we are.

Though true, doesn’t answer the asked question in any way. You still get to choose between shitty and fucking horrific AND shitty. So why abstain?
