Nothing is nonstick like Teflon … But the VAST majority of cooking doesn’t require that level of nonstick, either.

Unless you have a French omelette addiction, you probably don’t need Teflon.

Hamas literally ran politically as MODERATES. They’ve gone full jihadist. Without democratic process to keep the structure honest no party can be trusted.

Hamas rips up pipe to make rockets, and steals construction supplies to make tunnels.

The pipe and supplies that are supposed to help Palestinians live and survive without disease.

So that Hamas can apply pressure to ISRAEL for the Palestinian conditions?

Myself and literally everyone I know want to support the Palestinians. And it’s impossible to support them while Hamas (or another jihadist organization) is there.

It’s a circle, not a line. Far left and far right end up meeting in the middle.

Manufacturers set minimum prices for their products. Generally, suggested retail price and minimum advertisable price.

Feels pretty real to my bank account.

No. Obviously? And it’s irrelevant. There’s no symmetry here.

If Hamas puts down their guns there would be peace.

If Israel puts down there guns there would be no Israel.

Probably not, because those would be THEIR hospitals. There would be no tunnel system, no munitions stores, etc etc.

Your “gotcha” thought experiment is asking whether or not a country should treat the enemy country with equal caution to their own. Did you even consider it before asking it?

LMAO, wait, your argument is that Hamas doesn’t use human shields, and it’s all Israeli propaganda?

Hamas has been openly, proudly discussing their use of the Palestinian civilians a human shields for… Basically forever.

This isn’t unique to Hamas, it’s a common trait of all jihadist groups. Innocent victims are rewarded for their faith in heaven, and evil victims are punished in hell. So I’m their warped mind there’s no moral consequence for murdering or endangering civilians. Please let that sink in before you continue to support them.

First of all, you’re either ignorant or an idiot if you think what Israel is doing is “indiscriminate”.

More importantly, what’s your superior moral alternative when a force breaches borders, murders hundreds, and takes and holds hundreds more as hostages, and then retreats to the cover of hospitals and schools in a dense city?

As usual, the onion nails the satire.

Arguing from empathy with no regard for facts is hopeless.

Arguing from facts with no regard for empathy is dangerous.

We need both.

Right, it’s just a front door lol. I never considered that was a thing.

Pyramid scheme, not profit scheme.

Pyramid because the shape is a pyramid.

The first person, the one who sent out the original picture, received X books and sent none.

The next layer sent one book, and possibly received up to 36.

But those 36 each need 36 new people. It’s impossible. You’d hit the population of the earth in just a few rounds.

The companies BUILD IN backdoors so that they can steal your data.

But because the backdoor is built in, they have to constantly monitor and update the security around it so that “bad guys” (they don’t think they are the bad guys) don’t get in.

They only do security updates to prevent liability iirc.

The whole thing stinks.

Note: I’m not a software developer just an outraged bystander with tech hobbies and techy friends, it’s possible this isn’t true.

But if you tell the customer how much things cost they won’t buy as much.

It’s just layer upon layer of dishonesty. The only time businesses get honest is when the government forces them to.

And the volume is cranked too high.

And they are intentionally annoying.

And the last time I had a video on without my adblocker, an ad came on that was literally a person acting like they were a content creator. It was over 3 minutes long. I was only half paying attention (I was driving and just listening to the video) and when I realized it was wrong I thought I had bumped the phone and changed videos. It was so disorienting.

All the ads are lies or propaganda. I hate them. I actively avoid products that find a way to force their ads in front of my face.

Another great way of not getting your civilians targeted is to wear identifying uniforms.

It’s almost like Hamas doesn’t want to prevent civilian casualties.

As far as I understand that’s the definition of fungibility, right? Every dollar is interchangeable and identical?

So there’s no functional difference between deleting $1 and creating $1 except semantics, compared to moving $1, as long as the total value doesn’t change.

The government just deleting money and printing money to pay for whatever it wants suggests that those things aren’t equal, which would be the problem if it were true.

Literally all modern evidence points to the healthier tribal and nomadic humans having animal-based diets.

Healthier teeth, healthier skin and hair, longer lifespans, better musculature.
