You’ve got “Warez” wrong, it’s explicitly (and always has been) pirated software.

HDRP will be coming to mobile

we should really update this to “After when some people thought Jesus was born but they fucked up by 4-6 years. Also why is there no year zero?”

AWSPTJWBBTFUB4YAWITNYZ doesn’t really roll off the tongue, though. Maybe it’s better if someone can translate that into Latin.

Edit: Google Translate says “Post cum quidam putant natus est Jesus, sed eruditionis 4-6 annis. Cur etiam annus nullus est nullus?” so I propose “Post cum”

Looks like a parfait / iced tea spoon. If I had to guess someone just thought it would look fancy or simply didn’t care.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single comment on Lemmy that equates Hamas with Palestine

Then you’re turning a blind eye or somehow missing it, this place is overrun with calls to violence against Israel and its people. This place is also overrun with support for Hamas. Look at how heavily downvoted my comments (and the parent comments merely stating that Hamas are in the wrong) are. I’m not supporting the Israeli government, I’m not going “woo, IDF, let’s go!”. I’m not even saying “Israel has every right to attack”.

I support Palestine in that I want Palestinian people to have their own internationally recognized state. I want them to be allowed to be self-sufficient, to not be blockaded, to not be encroached upon. I also think that Israeli people deserve to exist in their own state. Both states deserve to exist without constant threat of war, sanction, or terrorism. If we can’t agree to those basic statements – and I’ve seen comments here that will disagree with them, especially Israel’s legitimacy via the mandate of Palestine – then I don’t know what else to say.

shouldn’t the highly educated, wealthy, developed, democracy be held to a significantly higher standard?

Yes, absolutely. The only thing I’ve said (or implied, maybe I needed to spell it out) is that Hamas is a terrorist organization that has stolen from the very people it was supposed to protect. It has deprived them of life and liberty, it has prevented fair elections for nearly two decades purely to maintain its own grasp on power. There’s no need for whataboutism, Israel is also depriving them of the same I just accused Hamas of doing. That doesn’t make Hamas right. In an alternate timeline there would have been a Palestine run by elected officials who respect the election process, instead of a terrorist organization, and those officials would better represent the wants and needs of the people. And they would not have orchestrated a massacre on civilians and tourists.

Not at all! my point was that people seem to see this as a “State of Israel” vs “the people of Palestine and Hamas” issue, when in reality we all need to call out Hamas for what they are.

When was the last time this political organization allowed for democratic elections so the people could have a voice, instead of holding on to power? Was it 17 years ago?

You’re getting downvoted because no one here wants to face reality.
