As if such a pesky geographic detail ever stopped USA from invading Afghanistan when fifteen Saudi, two UAE, and one Lebanese nationals attacked them in 2001.
Israel was created after WW2, and it has never been at peace. It's kind of proof that it's not going to work. They're not fighting for survival they're fighting for expansion. Nethanyaou even claims this point: his mission is the greater Israel project, to take land from egypt and surrounding countries, and settlements in Gaza are used to block the formation of a Palestinian state.
If Jews are allowed an ethnostate, then any country in the world should also be allowed an ethnostate.
If Jews are allowed to have nukes in the middle east, then any country in the middle east should be allowed to have nukes.
Remember that IDF were told to stand down during the music festival. They're also allowed to shoot Israeli civilians if it helps their objectives. And somehow they new about the Australian mass shooting in Sydney months before it happened, without telling Australian authorities.
Israel is not doing a good job in terms of world peace and I would say that if they can't find peace then the state of Israel should be dissolved for the good of the planet
Well the greater israel part and expansionist aims at least are quite clear and no conspiracy.
And he's asking some valid questions, why was israel allowed to be created and why are we supporting it's continued genocidal expansion.
Unfortunately he's wrong referring to the zionists as jews, they never really followed a religion, and the palestinians are the most real "jews" if we're talking in terms of genetics
I actually just recently bought a big me hibreak pro phone. Eink, supports Google Play natively, (I can still install Instagram, Google maps, Facebook, and WhatsApp, etc). Which were my two biggest needs.
It has been pretty great to use. The whole paradigm changes, because it also has the slow refresh, and the screen is physically different, single level brightness.
Funnily enough, I now catch myself with increased short term anxiety and FOMO. I've just acknowledged it as withdrawal syndrome from the dopamine of short form videos. That and I misplace the phone a bit more now because it's no longer a crack pipe.
It's taking effort to stick with it, but I increasingly love it. And I still get to partake in "society" and social media, just on my own terms.
You also realise just how many ads there are, because they don't draw you in so you can see them more critically. What I thought was one in 20, is actually something more like one in 4
To be fair, it is definitely not in my skill set, but LLMs could made to make better decisions, maybe we could all start giving CEOs everything a reason to cool their beans somewhat.
A lot of work in project controls and management are simple enough that any system that can handle data that isn’t reliably structured could do it. Read project team updates each week. Are we on time and on budget? If yes, commend the team and write a glowing report of the AI’s wise and dynamic leadership to operations, if not, encourage the team and recommend operations outsource the employees.
There's a lot of things going on in the western world, both financial and social in nature. It's not good in the sense of being pleasant/contributing to growth and betterment, but it's a correction nonetheless.
That's my take on it anyway. Hedge bets. Dive under the wave. Survive the next few years.
Genuine respect absolutely can - and should be able to be - lost over a "bad take." Whether this instance is one of those is another question entirely.
I would even argue that respect that can endure through numerous shitty takes, just because there's one facet of that person that isn't shitty, is far less genuine than otherwise holding that person up to a standard for your respect.
Separating "one take" from "many takes" -- one should be able to give grace that people are wrong occasionally, and especially that they are fallible and susceptible to being emotional or relying on anecdotes for a particular theme that their experience has affected them differently than your experience has affected you.
It was more-or-less true with Windows 3.1 (and likely earlier). Some people could correct some problems by modifying the various configuration files, but most didn't. One of the ironies is that I, as a rabid OS/2 user, managed to get a job managing Windows 3.1 systems since I was one of the few candidates who understood how to do so.
When Windows 95 entered the picture, such wipe-and-reinstall antics were pretty much standard for all but trivial problems. Even then people would usually live with those problems, though a handful of people would be able to go in and fix them. Of course, Microsoft has introduced some functionality over the years to mitigate such drastic measures, but they tend to be variations of the same theme (e.g. restore points rolling back changes, rather than going in to fix what is broken).
