What was the “gut” thing again?

No. This isn’t a thing you need to “both sides”. There is nuance.

It’s bad for Netanyahu if settlers die. It’s good for him if Israeli people are threatened. His appeal is that he’ll protect them (including through killing others). If he fails to do that too often, he loses.

Hamas is fine with people on their side dying. Israel is not. Israel is accomplishing their goals through genocide. Palestinians would love to genocide Israel, but they can’t. That doesn’t excuse Israel actually currently committing genocide.

And there’s no excuse for settling land in areas that will keep Israelis in danger. The first settlers are Zionists, later people living there won’t (necessarily) be Zionists.

They don’t like algorithms. They want you to select which content you see.

That’s all I’ve got. Mastodon is a better, more open tech. And it’s pretty easy to get set up, relatively. It’s insane that companies haven’t jumped on it.

You don’t even have to quit Twitter. You can just post to more than one place and give people the option.

The same strategy is Hamas’s primary MO. If Israelis die, it’s good for Hamas. If Gazans die, it’s good for Hamas. On one hand, Israel should get a hell of a lot more blame than the Democrats. On the other, you can see how this powers Hamas strategy.

How much does the setup cost? assuming I’m already self hosting and have some disk space.

VPN and a seed box?

The House is still being counted. It’s very close, but not over yet.

He doesn’t have the House yet.

Youth church functions were always more depraved than anything agnostic.

Just be grateful if you’re not in one of the first groups. I spoke up as loudly as I could.

I’ll wait 72 hours before settling with it, in case any shenanigans were involved. I expect it’s legitimate, but I want that window open if it’s needed.

There’s always vaultwarden.

It’s important that he disabuses himself of the notion that he’s really good at this if he tried. The trying is the part that’s the challenge. They make the ability to understand part relatively easy. That’s the whole point of college.

The tip is to change his perspective and stop thinking that he’s above it. It may not be the only tip, but it’s a big one.

The world is filled with people who used to be brilliant slackers when they were young who did nothing with it.

Anyone can theoretically sit down and study for the equivalent of a university degree. Most people don’t have the motivation or discipline for that.

Half the point of the degree is that it pushes you to get it done. (The other half is verification that you did it.)

If you still can’t do it, then it isn’t so easy after all, is it? The main challenge isn’t how big your brain is. It’s actually putting in the work.

If you can’t find enough self-discipline to get through it, you’re going to regret it later.

The preparator has also left a note reading “wasn’t me!” /s

I expect if her positions were completely reversed, you’d complain about those too.

I was the generation we were hopeful for. All we’ve done is stall. We got Obama elected… and that’s about it.

We need a plan that’s better than “wait it out”. That one tends to fail.

And who will they blame? Probably others.

We’ve expected that for over a generation. It’s more than just the boomers doing this. If you’re waiting for Gen X, you’re going to have to wait for Millennials too, because we thought the same thing.

It wasn’t boomers that were influenced by r/the_donald and 4chan.

It wouldn’t be the first time a dude showed up to a place with a gun wanting to kill people, killed people, and then got away with it scott free while conservative media fawned over him.
