In my experience vegans never tell others out of the blue they’re vegan. Most of the time they get interrogated about their nutritional intakes or about if they dared to inconvenience others around them

Israel doesn’t seem to give a shit about innocent people so don’t give this shitty IDF PR line about what a tragedy innocent deaths are. 40k dead that are counted in the hospitals that aren’t running anymore. Probably at least 100k more beneath the rubble. Just because Bibi doesn’t want to face the end of the war and his downfall. Maybe he can incite a new war with Hezbollah or Iran before Gaza is a wasteland, so he has more time. My government will surely support that as well. Just awesome shit man.

And there is a huge gap between letting Hamas be and bombing the living shit out of a school full of refugees with some Hamas members in them. Maybe it’s just that my and most people’s standards of not regarding Palestinian civilians as worth nothing are too high for the Israeli government.

I actually liked TLJ as well. Like others said, I liked these Force Connection scenes with Rey and Kylo, I liked how it dispatched Snoke, dismissing the idea of yet another Star Wars conflict being controlled by an evil old wizard and instead gives sets the way for a new story by giving Kylo Ren the reigns of the new empire (which was thrown in the trash by JJ in ep 9, which is the gravest sin for me of that film), and gives a plausible take on the seduction to the dark side and to the light side. I know these ideas were poorly implemented e.g. the proposition Kylo makes to Rey “Hey, look, I’ve killed the evil emperor! Join me and we can take this whole thing over. Let’s start by killing all your friends!”. What a great offer, Kylo. But still I liked that this was something new and more than just a rehash.

What I also really loved is that not every character has to be related to the Skywalkers or another character of the other trilogies, again something JJ threw in the trash by ep 9. Why does Rey have to of some ancient magical lineage? I liked the idea that the force was running through people everywhere, even through slave kids on the casino planet. Everybody can be a hero, even if your parents or ancestors weren’t. Wait, what’s that, JJ? Everything was Palpatine all along? Never mind then.

Netanyahu really doesn’t want these negotiations to come through, does he? How can he go to the hostage families and tell them he’s gonna get their relatives back when he bombs the shit out of the country they’re hidden in, has blown up and wanted to funnel sea water into the tunnels where they are most likely held (from an outsiders perspective) and now basically shot someone in the face across the negotiating table?

Tell me how that makes sense.

Beside Project 2025 and everything fascist he says and clings to to get elected so he doesn’t have to face judgement, you’ve got got to admit that sometimes he is hilarious. Unintentionally mind you, but still so funny.

Like this could have been an Onion headline or a sketch about how his whole campaign was ‘Biden old’ and now he’s caught with his pants down when Biden is no longer on the ticket. Next up he’s gonna claim Biden faked being demented so he could ruin Donalds campaign by dropping out. It’s all a conspiracy, folks…

I’d be dumbstruck if Kamala loses this at this point. It’s astounding to see how a campaign could swing so hard after such a fumbled debate and a literal assassination attempt.

until it’s too late because it’s a boiling frog situation.

That’s a common misconception. If frogs are thrown into boiling water they almost die instantly, if they are placed in a pot that’s slowly beginning to boil, they desperately try to escape after a while

I’ve seen him laugh one time, on a Logan Paul short. It was the oddest thing seeing Donald Trump laugh

Water and Flying Pokemon gotta be beware man

“I’ve heard statements [from other soldiers] that the hostages are dead, they don’t stand a chance, they have to be abandoned,” Green noted. “[This] bothered me the most … that they kept saying, ‘We’re here for the hostages,’ but it is clear that the war harms the hostages. That was my thought then; today it turned out to be true.”

This right here low-key bothers me most about the Israeli position. This war isn’t about freeing hostages. You wouldn’t blow up every building, every Hamas tunnel when you knew that somewhere these hostages have to be held AND you cared about their well-being.

Absolute insanity. When I’m seeing these things around the world and now in Ukraine I’m always trying to see a logical explanation, some twisted cynical reasoning for why you bomb these vulnerable civilian targets, and I can’t find anything. It’s just cruelty. Ukrainians aren’t going to surrender because of this, people and nations never have before. It just makes resistance to your war that much more defiant. If you bomb a childrens hospital, it’s just because you want to punish people for not letting you win.

The second part that hurts is that this changes so little in the grand scheme. Maybe some guy who was living under a rock who was skeptical changes his mind about this invasion. But the vast majority of Russian internet propagandists, pro-Russia politicians in parliaments in the EU and around the world and people blinded by Putins lies will find some pathetic excuse to deny and deflect. And in a week the next atrocity occurs somewhere
