Well, I guess that means that as far as Valve knows I’ll still be happily slaughtering zombies in L4D2 at the ripe old age of 130

I wonder if the servers will still be up

At this point a dismissal of anything by Israel makes it more credible, not less

It’s obvious when you say it like that. I don’t like the idea of some prompt hacker looking at memes I sent to my coworker

I use Slack at work everyday. I suppose this does feel off in some way but I’m not sure I’m the right amount of upset about this? I don’t really mind if they use my data if it improves my user experience, as long as the platform doesn’t reveal anything sensitive or personal in a way that can be traced back to me.

Slack already does allow your admin to view all of your conversations, which is more alarming to me

What are the consequences of this

Like does this mean they could develop an app where you just have a library with all those nostalgic legacy games

If anything Hamas is the product of the systematic marginalization and humiliation of the Palestinians

I just cover the table in it and spread the fries on top. Fewer dishes to wash

They’re fucking monsters. It seems like radicalizing the Palestinians is the point, so they don’t have to talk to them

Well I mean he’s interesting as a case study, his decisions have real world implications and it seems like he’s on a path to a meltdown that many people would love to witness in real time

And are a menace to society

Add it to the list of atrocities committed committed by a government my country still backs

And a full retreat from the West Bank as well

The entire World is in a dire position with climate change and all that. The USA turning inwards to settle it’s culture war will have global ramifications. It’s already happening

Imagine the arrogance of leaving your country to avoid military service only to run a clandestine racist tourism business in your host country

Well said. It’s like the Israeli government actively want the Palestinians to radicalize, so they can double down on their violent policies in order to get rid of them and ultimately annex all occupied Palestinian territories. They’re effectively sacrificing the safety of their own people to avoid a two state solution.

1. Oppress people until they get violent
2. Be surprised when oppressed people get violent
3. Kill as many as you can get away with
4. Say the oppressed people can’t be trusted and take their land as a buffer zone or to punish them or whatever
5. Oppress them some more until they get violent again, so you can kill more and take their land

When Serbia started their campaign in Kosovo, NATO bombed the shit out of them until they stopped.

I’m not saying we should be bombing Israel but the double standard is painful to watch

Stupid compared to what? Other people or some theoretical ideal?

They are on borrowed time. Chinese economic growth is investment based and now they’ve built enough condos to house their entire (huge) population twice. This will ruin the value of houses, which is where ordinary Chinese have their savings. Coupled with their poorly thought out demographic policy this will cause an insane crisis as the life savings of elderly Chinese evaporate while they don’t have the working population to recover from this. There’s this guy Peter Zeihan on YouTube who explains it better than I can. He expects China to be done within a decade.

I’m just wondering if they will attempt to invade Taiwan before that happens. They might not even be able to but with Xi completely out of touch with reality they might anyways
