I’ve never pretended that I’d singlehandedly solve the conflict, but it’s now very clear that the people who have the power to stop the ongoing massacre pretty much instantly, openly choose not to.
A long term solution is also obviously out of reach for roughly the same reason.

Well, especially if Israel keeps funding Hamas to destabilise and discredit Palestinian effort. Oh wait…

In the meantime, innocent people keep getting killed.

Bold of you to assume that it would stop if Hamas and Hezbollah ceased to exist.

They’ve been saying shit like this for almost 10 years now. Now they have all the power they want/need to proceed.
Are you absolutely certain about what you’re saying?

If someone shows you their real self, believe it.

I’m really scared that the “rape without intention” is going to stick around… That would be an absolutely awful precedent.

That I’m autistic as fuck and no, I’m not angry, I’m overstimulated, understimulated, too cold, too hot, hungry, thirsty, I don’t have my glasses on, or anything really.
So I’m learning to be kinder towards myself and go outside of my comfort zone every once in a while, but on my own terms.

Yeah destroying shit is easy, building mostly good, useful, strong and reliable systems is incredibly hard…

Basically stay away from highly processed food as much as possible. Try to get as much variety as possible, and eat more fiber, protein and healthy fats than you think is enough. Also, add as many plant based products as possible and cut red meat to a minimum.

I guess it matches Aisha’s age in the Qur’an

Yeah but on the other hand, big numbers on a screen.

But you see, it’s different because… Reasons.

When you’re rich they just let you do it.

It’s not that they don’t care I think. It’s more that the human brain is not very good at understanding and visualising massive things (be it numbers, space, complex systems, etc).

We’re really good at gathering and communicating information though, which helps us make sense of the world.

The big problem is that we allow people’s opinions to have as much weight as data and facts. So when you have data and facts about climate change presented at the same level as climate denialism, most people don’t really see the difference when it comes to the weight of the data vs the opinion of some guy.

It’s almost like some people benefit from withholding information, controlling the narrative, and having a public with low critical thinking.

Even a 1 or 2% per trade would bring massive amounts of money, not even trying to make it progressive or anything.

That we know of, I guess. Would be pretty fun to have an afterlife similar to the Good Place.

The US has a massive political and cultural influence all over the world. Trump’s victory will open a whole new Pandora’s box when it comes to geopolitics, climate (in)action, and support of racist, sexist and xenophobic policies. His campaign strategy will probably be used by politicians all over the world, and will embolden them to try more and more unhinged bullshit.

I don’t know how it will personally affect you, but it probably will in many many direct and indirect ways.

Now watch the effects ripple through the world. Now that a guy like him can be elected, politicians around the world will take note and use the same playbook. And it will probably work.

We already felt it in France with the 2016 US election, I can’t imagine what the next decade will be like…

And I wouldn’t be surprised if Taiwan was next now

Please take them back, we have enough self absorbed assholes to deal with already.

Given the number they supposedly have, even if only 1% of them actually work, that’s way more than enough to blow up the world.
