That is a fair critique. Israel isn’t solely at fault, but they do share blame. It’s difficult to fit the entirety of the history, but from the Palestinian point of view what I said isn’t wrong. There may be confounding external causes, but Israel has absolutely been in the wrong from nearly the beginning of its existence.
There are arguments about preventing genocide that are valid, but most of these arguments start from racist ethnostate positions that have very little moral credibility.

Most of Israeli immigration has been from the former Soviet Union, not the middle East… Unless you count the FSU as the Middle East… Which depending on how you want to count things for displaced progress may be valid… And it really kicked off in the early 70s.

Excellent.

Which part?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
In the United States, I find the Zionist argument to mostly be a racist Christian push to remove Jews from the US.
I recognize that people may believe it without that racism… But it’s just a crazy argument to me… And I think the way you originally presented it is the way that is normalized by extreme Christian organizations in the US which is why I called it out.

The British fucked up a bunch of things when they divided up political power as they abandoned their territories… Israel/Palestine and India/Pakistan…
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
I’m nearly positive that the “I supported X until…” Comments are bot farms trying to normalize the second position. It has been happening a lot in the past 5-7 years or so.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
there are no other Jewish places to live
This is such a weird stance. What even is this position that is nonchalantly thrown into the argument as if it even matters.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
This is a hard question.
Israel was magicked into existence not very long ago(1948), immediately started breaking agreements and compacts… Displaced millions of people from their homes and has killed thousands upon thousands more… Many innocents. It is run by an extremist religious military organization.
Hamas is a brutal, far right religious extremist movement that kills indiscriminately, even it’s own people.
Objectively they are both in the wrong.
Israel has stolen and murdered the Palestinian land and people for decades while continuously lying about their intentions.
Hamas is a shit show of an organization that is probably objectively worse… But their actions make sense when you realize that their families and property have been stolen when murdered for the last several generations. The only life most Palestine people know is one of suffering and loss… And this is directly Israels fault.
In your Russia/Ukraine scenario, Israel is Russia (mostly foreign invaders) and Ukraine is Palestine(natives fighting for their land and freedom). But it’s not quite as simple because Hamas is so objectively horrible…

No. I didn’t make the analogy you claimed I did. You strawman’d my argument and made one you like.
- Comment on This should be illegal 1 year ago:
That’s not the analogy I gave.
- Comment on This should be illegal 1 year ago:
I didn’t.

After reading the rest of your comment, you are reading the wrong thing from it, the physical parts of the amusement park would be the extant binaries you already have. They still run the same as they did before, but without maintenance they will deteriorate and become non-functional or only partially operational. In an online system there are server bits that might not be available to the end user and those pieces also need an operator.
To make a slightly more specific analogy, with a water park we could imagine a separate water treatment facility that would need to be run to keep the water in the water park safe. That treatment facility could also have plans and schematics.
The actual facilities in these cases are not independently valuable in the software case. It’s the plans and schematics (the source code) that has value… but in both cases you only need the facilities and operators/maintenance to allow people to attend the water park/play the game.
Could the game company also give away a physical treatment plants so that an independent organization could buy their own servers and run their own game servers so that they could still play in their own private water parks? Sure.
Should they? Maybe. But it’s specifically the entitlement to the plans/schematics that gets me…
- Comment on This should be illegal 1 year ago:
companies should be forced to open-source games (or at least provide the source code to those who bought it)
- Comment on This should be illegal 1 year ago:
This is a good distinction.
Online only play models are difficult for the consumer. I personally don’t play that many online only games for partly this reason… and partly because I don’t play many only games at all.
- Comment on This should be illegal 1 year ago:
It’s the designs and schematics part that makes them equivalent.
- Comment on This should be illegal 1 year ago:
I must be missing something here.
- Company buys land, designs and builds theme park
- Company operates theme park.
- Company isn’t profitable.
- Company closes theme park
- ???
- Company must give away designs and schematics to theme park rides for free so people can build theme park themselves that might be in direct competition with new theme park company is trying to build???
- Comment on Why are batteries in phones always measured in mAh instead of Wh like for example notebooks? 1 year ago:
I think you misunderstand nominal voltage and fully charged voltage. 3.7v is the nominal voltage for a lipo battery. 4.2v is the standard fully charged voltage. However, phone batteries are rated at 4.3v.
- Comment on Why are batteries in phones always measured in mAh instead of Wh like for example notebooks? 1 year ago:
Most phone batteries are rated for 4.3v

To be clear, this is an instance choice. You can still find drug friendly instances and subscribe to the communities.
- Comment on Why is the consumption of Meat considered bad 1 year ago:
95% of all cattle feed is corn in the US. Raised to 600lbs or so before being put on the feed lot. Finishing in this case can be the final 400-600lbs fed on 95% corn.
About 40% of all corn grown in the US is grown exclusively for feed nearly all of which is used within the US.

Alright, corporate censorship requires that there be the threat of monetary loss or loss of access that will result in loss of money. So this can’t be corporate censorship.
It’s not self censorship because it’s not a person censoring their own work.
That leaves only the possibility for it to be censorship by an organizing body, which requires that the organizing body be the principle body through which all media is distributed or authorized for distribution. Any single instance does not meet this definition. It is arguably possible that if the process by which activitypub was centralized under a single authority body, and that body decided to remove any instance spreading a specific message that could be a form of censorship.
You claim that I am ignoring your examples. It should be immediately obvious that my counter example is your argument reworded to be non technical. I’m sorry that you don’t understand this or what it means.
You claim that I am ignoring the dictionary definition. I am not. Once again, you claiming something to be true doesn’t make it true. Defederation is not the suppression of anything.
I’m sorry that you don’t understand this. I don’t know how else to tell you.
I haven’t once insulted you in this thread before this but Go fuck yourself.

The 2018 article doesn’t mention cotton at all as far as I can tell.
- Comment on Why does “come here” bother me so much? 1 year ago:
No… No it really isn’t. It’s not rude to expect others to participate in things. If I am cooking and my wife is not doing anything, it’s not rude of me to ask her to come to me to talk to me… It would be rude of her to make me stop and go to her to ask her a question if she isn’t busy… That’s not an emergency situation. If she is busy then the situation is different.
I also think people don’t realize that “in a minute* or"I’m busy” is an acceptable answer to"can you come here" questions.
Again… Perpetually demanding your partner to come to you is problematic.
But it isn’t inherently wrong to ask your partner to do things.
- Comment on Why is the consumption of Meat considered bad 1 year ago:
Cam you link specifically what you mean? I don’t see any attribution of cotton water to cattle in the 2018 Poor, Nemeck.
- Comment on Why is the consumption of Meat considered bad 1 year ago:
You know what. I went and read more about it and you are right about the grass.
- Comment on Why is the consumption of Meat considered bad 1 year ago:
You are making this argument: hoards.com/article-20263-lets-end-the-feed-versus…
You want me to peer review the article and check that they did what they claim they did? That they actually recorded the water use at each step?
- Comment on Why is the consumption of Meat considered bad 1 year ago:
For each study, we recorded the inventory of outputs and inputs (including fertilizer quantity and type, irrigation use, soil, and climatic conditions).
- Comment on Why is the consumption of Meat considered bad 1 year ago:
Only until they are weaned. Then onto the feed lot they go and corn they eat.
