Honestly, I joined the Star Trek server because it checked all the boxes. Allows down votes, doesn’t block NSFW posts, doesn’t force censorship of words they think are naughty, large enough to be active and have a wide range of subscribers. Funny memes about one of my favorite shows is just a bonus.

Sounds like his points are making you uncomfortable. It also sounds like you’d rather just eject from the conversation and pretend it never happened than accept that the world is a big, messy, complicated place and your hot takes are actually cold shit.

Maybe kamikaze drones? Not as fast as missiles, but as long as they’re faster than the attack drone, they could still be effective.

The difference here is you were having arguments with someone during development. It’s easy to look at a successful final product and say “that guy had no clue what he was talking about about!”

Bethesda is saying the same thing about their fans, but for a final product that’s not very good. It’s one thing to dismiss criticism during your process, but to dismiss criticism after you present your results is basically saying you are never open to it.

Fr fr, no cap

…do you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what kind of research happens at university labs, or are you just assuming none of it happens in Florida universities?

Ok, but you realize that completely ignores the immediate problem of Hamas continuing to perform terrorist attacks, right? Like, that does literally nothing to stop the immediate problem.

It’s like if you had cancer and someone told you the cure is clean, healthy living. Sure, that might have stopped it if it had been done earlier, and it would certainly help prevent it from returning, but it doesn’t really address the cancer you currently have that’s trying to kill you.

So what’s your solution for Hamas?

I could be wrong, I haven’t done a deep dive into The Troubles, but I don’t believe the IRA ever launched or stored bombs in schools and hospitals.

There’s playing with fan expectations; and then there’s taking everything the fans loved, literally burning it on screen, and essentially saying “none of this matters anymore and you were stupid if you thought it ever did”.

“Should I accept responsibility? No, I’ll just double down.”

Hey, you’re right! That IS the exact opposite of what I’m asking for!

God, you’re so cool and edgy, bro! Bro, everyone loves when you shove politics into things, bro. Your hot takes are always so fucking on point, bro! I fucking love it!

The other day, bro, I was getting groceries and the cashier asked “paper or plastic?” and another bro behind me chimed in and said “OR sleepy Joe and fascist Kamala?!” and I creamed my fucking pants right there in the store.

Tell me more, bro. You got me so fucking hot, bro. Let’s go to a child’s birthday party and interrupt the happy birthday song by shouting about America’s foreign policy. They’ll be so fucking impressed, bro. And then we can make out over the birthday cake while we explain the failures of capitalism, bro.

God, I’m so hard now, bro. Please, bro. PLEASE! Make me cream myself, bro. Make me cream myself to the sounds of your hot fucking takes on the geopolitical climate, bro! Bro!

If it did, it could only have been a positive effect. From a logistics standpoint, what happened that day is nothing short of astounding. Less than 3 hours after making the decision, the ENTIRE US airspace was cleared of all commercial traffic. 4500 planes were re-routed and grounded at a time of extreme uncertainty. It may have been his first day, but the guy did his job flawlessly.

I have over 1600 hours in Binding of Isaac.

It’s a fair question. Last time there was a report of a hospital being bombed, it turned out it was a failed rocket from the Palestinian side. It also only hit the parking lot.

Edit: The only sources in the article are Palestinian (Hamas) news outlets and a Reuters article that doesn’t actually mention this specific bombing.

How fucking awful of me to stay on topic.

No no. Do not move the goal posts. This isn’t about war crimes. They absolutely are guilty of war crimes. But that’s not what we’re discussing. We are only discussing genocide.

A question was posed, what is the line that would make someone consider Israel’s actions to be on par with Nazi’s? My line was actual genocide. What Israel is doing just doesn’t fit that definition.

Only one side has been launching attacks with the sheer goal being “do as much damage and kill as many people as possible” and it’s not Israel.

Again, if they kill indiscriminately, why do all their targets appear so discriminate?

Nope, same feeling. The refugee camp was a series of multi-storied buildings with permanent infrastructure. It was a camp in name only. People were living there for years, and Hamas cowardly hid behind them.

My overall point is, none of Israels targets are selected with the goal being “kill as many Palestinians as possible”. They are being heavy handed and don’t have a lot of concern for collateral damage, but it is not an actual, literal, genocide. That’s the line.

Thinking they’re just maintaining plausible deniability and slow rolling it is such a stupid take, I don’t even know where to begin. I think even you know that doesn’t match up with reality.
