It’s a hard thing to talk about without coming across as inflammatory, especially considering the purpose of the building. I couldn’t find many other pictures of it beyond that one, but it didn’t seem like it had a lot going for it beyond the fact that a building serving that purpose had been at that site for 600 years.
I kinda feel like the political uncertainty may not really factor in. Politically, it’s possible that they may not exist once these are completed, but if they don’t there isn’t anyone in the government left to care.
Have you seen Fringe? It’s a tv show from about a decade ago, very similar vibe to the X-files.
If you don’t like that and combined with all the other stuff in this thread, then I think you might just not like TV as a medium anymore.
The UPS here just gives you a computer to look at, it’s not super secured or anything special here, if you can get it connected, you can print on it.
This may be anecdotal or a result of them being new and having less documentation/etc, but in my experience when they do have problems it’s way more of a pain in the ass to deal with too.
They did also kill hangouts… and pretty much every other messaging platform they’ve ever created, sometimes just for kicks. It might be incompetence as opposed to anything malicious there.
People tend to forget that one of the key justifications for Hamas splitting off as a distinct organization was that they felt their former parent organization was not supportive enough of open violence against Israel. Also important to note, the initial charter classifies diplomatic solutions as a waste of time and war as the only possible answer.
Per your genocide comment, I’m guessing you’re talking about the hadith advocating that Judgement Day will not come until they have killed all Jewish people everywhere. It’s very rough, but do want to note that there is a much later statement indicating the possibility of living in peace with other faiths as long as they are never ever challenged. But… this is also sandwiched between a call for everyone to join them in jihad and a callout to a document with questionable provenance detailing a plot for the jewish people to take over the world.
Anyone can read the whole charter online, obviously translation bias is a thing, but the translations I’ve seen out there are very harsh. There are items in there about ‘Palestinian Lives and Rights’, they’ve got notes codifying the status of women as lesser and taking jabs at anyone advocating for women as doing it just to make them look bad. There are a few random items in there that do look harmless at first glance, I’d encourage everyone to at least take a look through it, it’s not very long.
I completely believe you, but pointing at Lemmygrad for anything like that is kind of a low bar. If there’s any possibility that it could go against Western Interests, the community is automatically for it. They don’t really care what’s actually going on, they just work backwards from being ‘Anti-Western’ and figure out how to support it later.
no matter what’s on the other side.
You’re redirecting now and trying to walk it back, but those are your words.

I feel like your argument here gets slippery very quickly. You’re basically advocating for ‘win at all costs’ if you’re on a specific side and that’s real hard to support.
You’ll find a lot of comments along the lines of the Hamas government and Hamas terrorist organization being fundamentally separate entities. You’ll also find a lot of people dismissing the claims in articles like this one or trying to paint anyone in Hamas inciting violence as ‘not important’.
The idea is to foster a narrative to paint Israel as ‘just as bad as hamas’ and while Israel has done many bad things, the gap between the two is massive. I think it mostly comes from a desire to paint one side as ‘good’ and one side as ‘evil’ which isn’t always easy.
All I’m saying is… Science can’t prove vampires don’t exist.
Yeah, I saw the Guardian article too and I’m personally a fan of them as a news source. This one does have a lot more detail, and overall I feel it does a lot more to cover Lifshitz’s more critical comments. I think the potential translation bias may still end up being our eventual sticking point though especially with the varying tones of the ones out there and I’m not sure how we resolve that.
I think the idea is that while likely factual, the quotes presented in the article might be a bit cherry-picked.
I personally can’t find a version of her interview on video that doesn’t have cuts and actually feels complete. Translation also seems to be a bit variable, for instance, some seem to translate her next line as something like having never thought humans would be capable of doing this to another and others along the lines of not knowing how they got into this situation. Some do have her daughter translating which I’m usually inclined to trust, but we’re obviously not sure of her bias either.
Quick summary, there’s a lot of uncomfortable variety in how this press conference is being presented.
Hamas does occupy governmental positions, but they’re also demonstrably linked to terrorist actions which they take full responsibility for, and I think that takes precedence for most people. With that, many of us are reticent to call them a government.
To your point though, if we can trust wikipedia and if I’m reading it correctly, the ministry of health in Gaza seems to also be under Hamas governance, so I’m not sure who else you’d deliver the foreign aid too.
This is one of the issues with having TOS characters in this show. I know they kind of have to be, but their story is already established and that seriously limits how they can be used. Unless we were going to have some more time travel or other weirdness repeating itself, the relationship was doomed to failure from the start.
Wait, hold the fuck up, do we have the RemindMe bot here now?
This is one of those things that’s hard to define. If a popcorn kernel gets too hot, it pops and it’s almost like it’s trying to run from the heat. How is that different from a jellyfish reaction to pain? There’s a lot of good arguments on both sides.
Sometimes, I wonder how far away we really are from the popcorn kernel.
Not great things, but she did make it.

Not sure if the original dev is still involved, but the team has also renamed their company a few times and released (and abandoned in a somewhat broken state) a few other games.
