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.

Lemmy only has the information that I give it.

And it demands fairly little information.

I’ll take that in exchange for nobody privately owning as much of my shit as they can get their filthy hands on.

I recently got sick and decided to play through ff2 (iv). I’ve owned it since I was a kid but never beat it.

I finished it in less than 24 real world hours.

I was astonished at the difference being an adult makes with regard to gaming.

Is it wrong if I think your best performance was as yourself taking a bubble bath?

Yeah that’s a little unhinged

But nuance makes for boring memes though

THinK Of tHe mEmEs!?1!?

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?

OBNOXIOUS AND PROUD, BABY! 🌈

I’m pretty sure these are the new trump bots, basically trying to drum up support by radicalizing Democrats against Biden.

Pride as a reaction to shame is pretty unhealthy, from a mental health perspective. There are people trying to shame everyone for everything. Don’t be fat, don’t be thin, don’t be pretty, don’t be ugly. If everyone was distractingly screaming about their pride for everything they feel ashamed of the world would be obnoxious.

I think pride as a movement made sense when everything queer was a hidden subculture.

I feel like that’s past us. There are LGBT pro-hamas groups now. I think we’ve hit peak queer when there are queer activists for groups that would hang them.

Overtly stating anything about your identity is one of the dumbest and most boring things.

I don’t care how you identify. It doesn’t tell me anything about you, and it doesn’t tell me anything about the thing. And generally, it’s considered rude to talk about a person’s identity.

You’d be better off telling me something you’re interested in.

There are two kinds of people… No wait, three kinds of people that care.

1. people who are emotionally fragile, mentally ill, or otherwise can’t handle literally any friction of any kind in any of their interactions.

2. people who are excessively polite, virtue signaling, it SJWs. These people don’t care for themselves but they care SO MUCH because they think it makes to OTHER people.

3. people who are afraid of complaints or legal action (business, public figures, etc)

I can count on one hand the number of times identity has mattered in a human interaction I’ve had.

The amount of energy we waste of identity is fucking absurd considering the literal zero value or brings to the world.

2x4 studs are 3.5" deep. Even interior walls have drywall on both sides, usually over a half inch, but even half inch drywall, tape, mud, and paint, gets us to 4.5-5" thick.

That gives you a 2 inch “buffer”.

Is your body thicker than 2"?

There’s just no way it works.
