  • I wrote a whole paragraph up there addressing this. You treat this as if these are two equal sides, like a chess match. This is not the case. Subjugating millions of people will breed extremism. Explaining the root causes of extremism is not the same thing as condoning extremism. To end it, they need to begin by ending the subjugation or this cycle will continue.

    I don’t know why this is so hard for you to understand, and I don’t know how many times I need to repeat that concept.








  • I’m not siding with Hamas here. I’m pointing out an overlooked part of all this. Isreal keeps 2 million people, half of them children, in an open-air prison, bombs them constantly, murders their kids for minor transgressions and then (shocked Pikachu face) an extremist element breeds there. They then use that extremist element as propaganda for further bombings and land theft.

    This is not a time to say “both sides bad” and move on. There is a cycle of violence here between two sides, but only one side here has the power to end that violence and it sure as hell isn’t the side being subjected to an Apartheid state.

    I agree with you that informed risks can be reasonable, I don’t leave the house with a helmet. I just don’t think it was clear enough from your original post that doing that is risky.

    I’m a food service manager, and I have to train people all the time that “looks fine” does not mean “is fine”. There’s food I 100% would never serve at work but would eat myself. I feel like the distinction between what’s foodsafe and what you personally feel comfortable with needs to be stressed.

    This is just not true. From a food safety perspective, if there’s mould and it’s a soft food, it’s contaminated. You can absolutely get sick from foods without visible signs of spoilage (not to mention there is a visible sign, mould, but we’re ignoring that.)

    That said, I will sometimes take the risk by cutting off the mould. I would never serve it to someone else without letting them know the risks. If you do this you need to understand it’s a gamble.



  • The Air Force will never use the term UFO anymore, because that term has become synonymous with aliens in popular culture. This is why they use UAP. The definition has shifted in the past 50 years.

    Its not so much a mass media problem when there’s nutjobs testifying under oath that the government has alien corpses. At that point they’re just reporting on it.
