Guys, discuss this issue without personal attacks on each other.

Technically QM doesn't say that, there are various interpretations of QM with no agreement. But as part of our work here we know that mind and matter are entangled because matter is a type of mind. But you should be careful about using stuff like QM to justify your worldview. -
Sometimes you gotta attempt it twice and it embeds on the 2nd time. Not sure why. It's always been like that. It's a feature, not a bug

Only if you have serious health problems which hold you back. If you health is nornal then don't obesses over it, just maintain it well. Unless you have serious health problems working on your health doesn't take much time.

It's nearly impossible to sustain carnivore for long. I still don't drink maple syrup, but I meant I would enjoy it.

You can comprehend infinity with intellect. That's what God-Realization is. But the human mind is not infinite intellect. -
Embedding videos works. Sometimes it's a bit slow. That's normal.

Looks do matter, however your looks cannot be changed, and you can still get girls with your looks. You'll just have to work harder. In the end you just have to accept how you look and work from there. And if you keep fixating on your looks you will be too demotivated to talk to girls and thereby lose girls you could otherwise get. What black pill gets wrong is that there are girls out there who will be okay with your looks. But if you keep feeding on black pill ideas you will never even have the motivation to meet and succeed with those girls, thereby totally screwing yourself.

They aren't developed enough to do that. Their survival situation is too dire to do that. Singapore is a unqiely positioned trading hub. You can't assume that will translate to Gaza. Geography matters a lot.

No, but I have gotten teeth sensitivity and pain on LSD.

Not evacuate, but perhaps be willing to reassign those areas to the new Palestine state. Jews can live in Palestine too. And if they want to live in Israel so bad, they can sell and relocate. This is a reasonable compromise. Netanyahu has even proposed it. Hard to say. At the point, after shit has hit the fan, no one is safe. Good point. Yes, they are so weak and cornered that they will stoop to any low at this point. What else can they do? It's clear to me that if anyone there dared to express serious criticism of Israel's handling of Palestine they would be not only fired but probably blacklisted for life. You have to distinguish between surface level criticism vs deep criticism like we do here on this forum.

That's true. Some of this stuff you just gotta take on faith based on the science and studies. Some stuff, like vitamines, you can measure in your blood.

Alternative #1: Less arial bombing of civilian buildings. Never bomb hospitals, etc. Allow water, fuel, and aid into Gaza. Alternative #2: No invasion, invest heavily into strong defenses. Alternative #3: Annouce end to settlement expansion policy and call Hamas to negotiate release of all hostages and final peace settlement. None of the feed the thirst for blood, but they are sensible options.

I love maple syrup. I can drink half a bottle of it straight up.

You can easily take 10-20 supplements per day. But don't start with that. You must test every pill in your stack one at a time. Slowly build up your stack over the course of a few years. Only keep the stuff in your stack that you feel gives benefit.

End settlement expansion would be a huge step towards peace. If Israel was serious about peace that would be the first step. But Israel wants to have their cake and eat it too.

They definitely hide amoung the urban population. But then again, those are the conditions they have been cornered into. Of course Hamas prevents people from listening to Israel, who they view as the devil. Can you imagine if Nazis give your populations orders and you allow your people to follow them? That's how Hamas sees the IDF orders. And also, they don't want to give up half of Gaza to Israel, for obvious reasons. Yes. This is good. But in practice not so effective. It's not at all unlikely. All such presentations are political weapons and they are all approved by politicians. Their army is not some objective source. If anyone in the IDF dared not to tow the party line they would be severely punished immediately by the leadership. There's no doubt about that.
-
Far too simplistic. I agree that settlements are bad. But Gaza has no settlements and no occupation. You are conveniently ignoring the general low development level of Palestinian society. It's so low that it's very hard to make any kind of peace with them. Even if you make a peace deal, Jihadists will still attack because they will only accept a total defeat of the Israeli state. What do you do about these Jihadists? They will never listen to reason.
-
Yes, there's truth in both sides. That's the whole problem. If all the truth lay on one side the solution would be easy. If there is to be peace, both sides have to start being honest and admitting mistakes. As long as one side just blames everything on the other there cannot be peace. This whole thing is like therapy for a very bad arraigned marriage where divorce is impossible.
-
I mean Netanyahu's policy of not trying to negotiate with the Palestinians any more, trying to just ignore the whole issue and going around their backs to make peace with the rest of the Middle East. In retrospect this policy backfired badly for the whole region. Because you can't just sweep the Palestinian issue under the rug.

John Mearsheimer has some of the best views on this whole war that I've seen:

But that's a double-edged sword! The US deep state is also so biased in their support for Israel that I cannot trust them either on this issue. Would the US really publicly debunk Israeli propaganda? I doubt it. I think anyone who tried to do that would be fired or reprimanded. The pro-Israel lobby in the US is very powerful and very biased. The pro-Israel lobby in the US almost pressured the Bush administration to start a war with Iran back in the 9/11 era. Watch this if you want to know more:

P.S. I do try to care about you guys. It's just that I am limited in that because there's thousands of you and it can be quite draining, and my knowledge of your lives is very limited.
-
I think I fixed it. Please check if everything is working properly now. If not, let me know. Sorry for the delays. This was the first time I've encountered such issues after a crash recovery.

But that's how good propaganda would look. The problem is that in the end you're just trusting Israel. But Israel is not an honest actor in all this, Israel has a huge survival bias here. Obviously Israel is more trustworthy than Hamas, but that's a very low bar. That doesn't mean you can trust their military spokespeople. I have not seen a single Israel official honestly admit that their decades-long policy toward Palestinians was a causal factor in these Hamas terrorist attacks. And if they are unwilling to be honest about that, then they are not to be trusted. They can't just blame everything on Hamas without acknowledging any responsibility for this whole conflict. This terrorist attack -- barbaric and shameful as it was -- was just one incident is a much larger 70-year conflict, and to pretend otherwise is intellectually dishonest.
