is no one calling it the X-odus and why?

exactly whose point of view was watching this dude? the only other person is the mom who is watching a show.

that still doesn’t make sense. no one in the scene is watching this guy so NOT POV.

thanks. now I don’t have to say it.

it’s totally fair to criticize Biden as long as we can agree that the alternative is much worse.

the alternative: genocide plus fascism.

on the radio I heard two scholars discussing recent polls that reveal a surprisingly strong level of support for Hamas among gazans even now, despite the level of backlash that has resulted. when asked why, they said that Palestinians have long given up any hope that negotiations could achieve their goal of freedom and independence. they said that since negotiating has clearly failed for decades, Palestinians feel that the only remaining option Israel has left them is aggression and violence. and Hamas is the leadership that is willing to resort to violence.

while I certainly feel awful about any innocent Israelis getting caught up in the original attack, I can’t help but feel like Israel has done this to themselves. they have caged an entire group like wild animals for decades and somehow have the audacity to blame them for lashing out.

but let’s be honest here. we have all heard these points and most of us have already made up our minds about it.

duh.

the point of saying allowed is that consumers and the market in general should not put up with it.

ooh one news article for one incident reaaaaaaly proves your point that some unknown entity was trying to go full fascist and trump stopped them!

or did you watch one emotionally charged youtube video and then adopt this logically bankrupt theory ever since?

seen as how it’s abundantly clear that the Israeli govt is also an incredibly terroristic institution, no one with a moral compass should accept their existence either, right?

grasping the implication here is an extreme challenge. what are you suggesting? that individual cops were trying to go full-fascist and control the population by using the guise of a global pandemic to illegally stop and question citizens? if it wasn’t the government currently in power, then who was trying to go full-fascist? what entity between the government and police was it? and why was this only an american symptom when the pandemic was global?

all that to say - this take is complete nonsense and clearly lacks the application of the most basic of critical thought.

if you think evidence in your own life makes something objectively better for others then you have no idea what objective means.

the problem is that your clearly believe your way of thinking is better for everyone else. it is better FOR YOU. full stop. you are welcome to share what works FOR YOU. but your attitude that it is objectively better for everyone else is not something you could possibly know. and your insistence that it is better whether anyone accepts that or not is strong evidence of your lack of maturity and life experience.

we’re not suffering and you’re not a savior. stop trying to impose your way of thinking on a bunch of people. that’s one of the very first things one needs to learn in life to not be an insufferable person. i suppose the irony is that I was once like that and have learned to stop. but I can recognize it in an instant.

what you’re failing to pick up on is that no one cares about how you handle your thoughts and you can stop talking about yourself as if we should all aspire to think the way you do. this thread has largely been about the shared experience of having what we call intrusive thoughts and you coming here and trying to hijack that by telling us we are doing it wrong was never going to be well received.

there’s only one person looking the fool around here.

I’m the guy who thinks it would be great… for 3 seconds anyway.

it’s pretty inconclusive if there’s no context for how that code is called. I’m kinda confused why the article wouldn’t have provided any additional detail other than a single line of code. why bother digging at all?

it’s interesting that everyone here is a victim. why isn’t anyone owning up to being the bully? the ratio is highly suspect.

personally, I was mostly the victim. but I can think of a small number of times where I punched down the pecking order because that’s how I poorly dealt with the abuse by the real bullies.

I wish I had been encouraged to fight back by my parents. unfortunately the emotional abuse at home fully contributed to the lack of self esteem required to do so.

can these be held and traded in a verifiable way?

so a deed to a house only proves that you bought a piece of paper, right?
