Completely agree, it’s basically just botanicals anyway. Well and booze

Non alcoholic beer has gotten a lot better the last years as well.

Pretty much. It’s incredibly tiring

In a 100 years it might, after our current world order has been consumed by the effects of unimpeded climate change. There’s hope yet for the Palestinians to have a go. /s

Nuclear fission is not paying for the biggest externality either, its waste products. That for some reason seems to be the people’s problem. And even then there doesn’t exist a permanent storage solution for it as of today anywhere on the planet (yes, I know Finland thinks they have it figured out next year, but at a capacity of 5500t it will only hold the waste of the 5 Finnish reactors). It’s absolute insanity to me how this gets brushed away so easily.

The USA are exporting the most freedomy freedom conceivable to the Saudis, 350 billion USD of cold hard freedom to be exact.

Yup and then they constantly seem to end up embarrassed by the lack of preparation. Any EDC nerd would have more useful tools for an away mission compared to the average Star Trek explorer.

All you do is attack the way I’m arguing, which you don’t seem enjoy. I don’t understand what the point of that is.

I’m not even disagreeing with your critic of the IDF. I just need to point out the absolute stupidity of your comment

French resistance during the second world war knew the Nazis would retaliate; they still operated and hid within the civilian population. There are former towns in France where only crumbling stone, abandoned cars, and a plaque to the dead remains, a vow to never rebuild and never forget. Everyone was killed and their homes burned in reprisal for maquis activity.

Are you saying the French women and children murdered by Nazis are the fault of the French partisans? Is this a grey moral area for you?

Are you siding with the Nazis, huh? HUH?

That’s just not necessary, nor a particularly pleasant debate style.

But I’m not getting that through to you. So enjoy your weekend!

What you absolutely lose track of while arguing is not whether what the IDF is doing wrong - it is. It is the way you’re arguing.

This conflict won’t be resolved by blaming only one side while glorifying the other. And glorifying Hamas is what you are doing when you are equaling them to the French partisans.

I’m open to the actual argument, that being are they in fact using human shields, and what is the IDFs responsibility in protecting these civilians. And funnily enough I agree with you here. Killing civilians is wrong no matter who does it. As is collective punishment.

What are you debating?

That it’s okay for Hamas to use civilian infrastracture as the base for their military operations?

That the IDF should refrain from attacking those targets because of the civilian casualties?

That the IDF is the same as the German Waffen-SS troops that massacred 642 men, women, and children before burning the village Oradour-sur-Glane to the ground? I assume you read the article you linked to.

Honestly based on your post I was not sure, so I went with the premise that you think it’s okay for Hamas to use civilian infrastructure because they’re basically french partisans.
Which I would argue they are not, because one (the partisans) were specifically targeting the invading force, while the other (Hamas) has a long history of specifically targeting civilians

Are you equating an organisation that attacks helpless civilians to the French partisans?

Maybe not in the long run, but please someone think of the next fiscal quarter!!

Voice recognition is the most infuriating replacement for physical buttons.

It would definitely never ever happen, only maybe a little bit, but really it’s just a plug, which is like not an ad.

Yay?

It doesn’t help that traditionally nuclear reactors are always ending up way over budget. But hey, atoms go boom!

I think your last paragraph is a big part of the problem. Instead of acknowledging that we blundered away the last decades, time critically needed in the transformation of Germany towards a carbon neutral, digital future, the democratic parties are trying to chase the AfD immigration rhetoric. It’s fucking infuriating.

Looking at the election results I think the Greens did remarkably well, in the face of an almost constant hate campaign from conservative media. For me that reads like that there is a good amount of people in Germany ready to tackle the future constructively. The FDP on the other hand lost bad and their take away is not that they fucked up by blocking all initiatives in government but by not being tough enough on immigration. Seriously wtf

So the Germans are supporting the bad guys, including Russia. Aha, good to know!

Besides, what would you like them to do? Less talk more invasion of Palestine?

On its way to the business factory?

Exactly my thoughts! WTF?!

Wait what? Companies just discover 3% rEcYclEd plastic as a way to green wash their products!!! You can’t just take that away!!
