On top of what others have already said (you don't bomb another country's embassy no matter what), Israel itself has cultivated that hostility through decades of inflicting pain and suffering and brutalizing the Palestinian people from the 1948 Nakba and up to today, continuing to build their settlements and stealing land, fomenting genocide, and so much more. It has been a hostile nation since its very inception. Why did militias like Hamas and Hezbollah and whatever else pop up in the first place? Just for shits and giggles? Israel invited their creation in the first place.

Why is the usage of basic functions like opening the door tied to a car's operating system in the first place? A door is little more than a hinge and a securing mechanism. It's a basic physical system. We've had doors for thousands of years.

Why does literally every facet of our lives have to be computerized?

While we're at it, why do we even have computational devices to calculate numbers in the first place? An abacus is basically beads on sticks, and we've had those for thousands of years. Why do we even need big numbers, anyway? So some fat cat can get rich? You got fingers and toes, why not just use them for your mathing. Even thats pretty out there. Why do we even need numbers in general? 'One', 'Few' and 'Many' covers all uses I can think of.

My ex never wanted a kid and I always question that she might not in love me. After some arguments she said she is ok for one kid when we become 40. When I was with her I felt the marriage pressure and I was scared of the idea of being married. It always felt like a life without my parents and with a person who is not afraid of making me upset would be a nightmare. Since I am single for 9 months, I really want to marry with someone now and become a father after marriage ASAP. I know marriage and becoming a father means more responsibilities but I think I am ready for those mentally. Just wanted to share my thoughts.

This is the one who had a full on breakdown because he was asked his name at reception when he went to see a therapist.

It's amazing to me how they don't seem to realize that trans women in elite sports is the hill on which trans acceptance goes to die.
Public opinion is already overwhelmingly against this and there hasn't been a single high profile case yet. No normy knows who the hell Lia Thomas is. But imagine what is gonna happen when Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky or Coco Gauff lose to a trans woman during prime time at the Olympics or the US Open.

I can't tell if deep down, they all know it but still push forward because they're insufferable narcissists, or if the Internet moderators have encouraged their delusion by banning all the "chuds" and "transphobes" daring to question this. I can't think of many other topics for which online discourse is so completely at odds with real life opinion.

The fact that the report doesn't even say what most of the posters in that thread think it does and concludes that it doesn't have enough evidence to make ANY judgements for or against participation in sports doesn't mean that people won't get banned the next time anyone dares post against the narrative of SETTLED SCIENCE

That thread about the review is great.

The conclusion of the review is that there is not enough empirical data done in studies currently being used, and that there needs to be more data.

The IOC study that headlines the title concludes with:

The Brighton researchers, however, who took one set of measurements from each volunteer, said that longer-term research was now required, ideally with subjects drawn from a wider population than just the UK.
They also noted the limitations of research in which each category of volunteer had a sample size of less than 30.

I've been battling with myself about this Coachella. I'm 41 years old and I've always considered myself pretty "in touch" with current music and take some pride for being rather open to new stuff. Since my late teens/ early 20s, I've read Pitchfork, Stereogum, and a few other sites on a daily basis, always looking for new artists and music to check out. I know the general vibe about this year's show is that it was a bit of a weak lineup but man...I tried watching quite a few sets over the last 2 days of artists I hadn't really heard of ( there were a lot this year) and most of what I saw just did nothing for me.

I've been walking this line of, "Am I just turning into the older people that I despise because they just dismiss new music?" and "Maybe this music is just kind of not good for most of the people there too?" Maybe I'm a little of both but it kind of just bums me out. Even the "legacy" acts didn't do much for me this year.

Am I alone on this boat era?

Whenever someone starts out with a massive back in the day paragraph about music you know it’s going to turn into this kind of lazy bullshit.

Calculators stole all the jobs of hardworking abacus operators. It's wrong that this awful form of artificial intelligence is taking away the livelihoods of these people. Abacus operation is an art form and should be protected. We should ban calculators.

Before you want to "marry asap" and "want to have a kid asap", I actually wonder if you are ready.

I do not know you in real-life, but all of the threads you posted showed you should first be happy and content with yourself, before you meet someone else and even have a kid with them.

1.) You got mad that a security at your old therapists place asked for your name.
2.) You got mad that your friend lost weight and talks about it.
3.) In a lot of your threads you constantly post that you are an academic with some sort of superiority.
4.) You got mad that another person at your workplace had the same name as you.
4.) You also said you want to become a professor at MIT, so how would that work when you want to have a kid ASAP as well as a wife asap (in terms of moving).

I have the feeling before you get a kid ASAP you should work on your other issues.

[Potato]

My wife and I have always been undecided on having kids. I'm starting to approach 40 and our careers and lives are beginning to stabilize, so we've discussed it a bit more.

If I'm honest, I think we're both not sure. I lean towards wanting one (or at most two) just because I feel I would regret it when I'm older. That my later years would feel empty without descendants in it. She agrees

The thing we both see as the con of HAVING kids is that neither of us feel the "need" to. We just think we'd regret it someday if we didn't.

My wife is also concerned that her anxiety issues and a history of bipolar disorder in my family (though not me directly) would mean we may be cursing a child with big problems. So I think if we did have kids she's leaning towards adoption just due to that, which I don't have any issue with.

It's all just a tricky decision to make if you are not 100% desperate to have a kid.

So much to unpack in this one:

• FOMO is for festivals and concerts, not having kids you retard
  
• Wife just basically said she thinks his genetics are trash and would prefer not to continue them.
  

DaFuq?

I'll probably catch a ban for this, but I wish the devs of hogwarts legacy were afforded the same compassion that people are showing for this team

and their situation was not even that bad as jk was kept as far from the project as possible (and the game turned out to be pretty progressive) while this vavra dumbass is literally the creative director and can put their shitty views in the game for all to see (like the treatment of women)

I know consistency is not the strongest quality of this site but this really rubs me the wrong way and feels completely arbitrary

User banned (1 month): dismissing concerns surrounding representation

I love how not having PoC is considered fine for historical accuracy purposes as an excuse but somehow having the main story being about a son of a blacksmith becoming a knight is somehow really historically accurate? The devs don't actually care about historical accuracy, they chose to not include PoC, just like they chose to have sexist portrayals of women, and they just happen to have a bigoted gamer gator as their head. People can got "Death of the Author" all they want but the authors views are clear all over this game , and still gets money and attention for his shitty views from this game and the new one.

I don't see a problem with a blacksmith becoming a knight. The story does not have to be 100% historically accurate even if the rest of the world is trying to be. The problem is rather that the games that say they are historically accurate like Kingdom Come are not actually historically accurate. they use their fake historical accuracy to justify women's role in the games or lack of poc and other things.

For me even fantasy games are allowed to try and be historically accurate to the time period if they want. but with for example Final Fantasy 16 "historical accuracy" was just an excuse to not include any poc.

At the same time Kingdom Come portrayal of the medieval period is pretty standard way to do it in mainstream media i feel. and when it comes to games it is probably one of the most accurate games there is. Should we improve how women/poc/minorities are represented in all historical media and other things? Yes. Hopefully the second game tries to improve on that front.
