You conveniently left out this bit
but those that move there, or are “settlers”, or endorse and support the “settler” policies [italics for emphasis] are certainly land thieves.
So… yes?
Also conscientious objectors exist. Like, I get where you’re coming from, but you have to admit your absolutism isn’t completely factual

There’s no such thing as second generation land thieves. A person is either a land thief, or the descendant of land thieves. I can go back at least five generations in my family and no land thieves, but I’m still a descendant of land thieves. I’m white and live in the US, so it’s a forgone conclusion. I’m also a descendant of a rapist somewhere in my lineage, and a victim of rape as well.
People born in Israel and just existing there aren’t land thieves, but those that move there, or are “settlers”, or endorse and support the “settler” policies are certainly land thieves.
To be clear, Benjamin Netanyahu is a cunt, for sure, and a land thief.

Is…is that not normal idle behavior? Like, my fingers will trace lines on stuff I’m holding without me really giving it any attention. Drumming rhythms on a surface with my fingertips is an option too.
I thought everybody did that stuff

- Comment on Shower. I hate the wet place 3 weeks ago:
It was the dishes and public spaces before i got earbuds and twenty-seven podcasts to listen to.
It was before sleep until I started taking edibles before bed
It was the shower until i got waterproof earbuds
Now I just overthink while I’m trying to have conversations with people

I can’t say I’m surprised. He falls right in the middle of that demographic. I grew up listening to The Mississippi Squirrel and Eric the Awful. I grew up watching The Cosby Show too, and Hercules. Some of the old stuff is still enjoyable, even if the artist isn’t. Not all of it tho. I can’t watch most Kevin Spacey or Mel Gibson movies
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 5 weeks ago:
My wife has an autoimmune syndrome that makes stairs painful in the morning. I wake up, make coffee, bring her coffee and a snack, and about an hour later when I know she’s awake I bring her breakfast in bed. We eat together and talk about what we’ll do for our respective days, and if there’s anything we need to coordinate for the day that’s when we talk about it. By the time she’s done with that she’s mobile enough to do some stretches and loosen up enough to walk.
As someone else said, coffee for morning breath, eat breakfast, then brush teeth. It’s about being served breakfast as soon as your ready to sit up in bed

It’s a funny song highlighting the hypocrisy of televangelists and, by extension, for-profit religion (even if it’s non-profit according to the IRS, we know they don’t open churches to help people)
- Comment on I always wondered why hotel rooms had bibles 5 weeks ago:
Would Jesus be political if he came back to Earth/
Have his second home in Palm Springs and try to hide his worth/
Take money from those poor folks, if he came back again/
And admit he’s talked to all those preachers, and say they been a-talkin to him?
Would he wear a pinky ring, would he drive a fancy car/
Would his wife wear pearls and diamonds, would his dressing room have a star?
If he came back tomorrow there’s something I’d like to know/
(Would you tell me) would Jesus wear a Rolex on his television show?

- Comment on Should I feel bad that my abuser is suffering? 2 months ago:
Do not hold on to hate. Don’t pay an emotional price on people who don’t care about you
Do not feel guilt about other people suffering the consequences of their own actions. Don’t pay an emotional price on people who don’t care about you
Have empathy for the injustices others face. It helps you let go of hate
You are responsible for how you respond to your environment. They are responsible for themselves. They chose to respond to abuse by abusing others. You can perpetuate that cycle or stop it. Treat them the way you wish to be treated. Do so knowing they owe you a social debt for their abuse, and do not put yourself at risk while treating them with fairness
Do these things and you will be at peace with yourself and others.

Flex? Have you lived in Corn? It’s course and rough and gets everywhere
It’s just that there are men in No Man’s Land, but the ratio of men to corn makes the label Corn more accurate than No Man’s Land
It’s science

Replace Nomansland with Corn and it’s pretty much spot on

- Comment on Funny how that works 3 months ago:
Unfortunately taxes is how gentrification of neighborhoods removes the poors. If property taxes remember relatively flat for low income property owners they could actually benefit from the equity they put into their homes. Instead of rising with the waters of gentrification they are squeezed out of their home and future benefits of living in an improving neighborhood.
