  1. Terror attacks like 9/11 happened in large part due to US support of Israel. Israel’s lobby also pushed for the US to go to war in Iraq and torpedoed early attempts from Iran to normalize peace
  2. Palestinians were actually a more secular leaning population in the Middle East, Hamas and religious extremism was popularized there as an adaptation to survive the brutal oppression by Israel. Israel and the US also supported fermenting radical violent interpretations Islam and crushing the peaceful movements and secular groups.
  3. They don’t buy as much, the US buys it with tax payer money and sends it.
  4. The point is you can’t say all civilian casualties are the result of human shields if they themselves say they purposefully wait until they are home to attack
  5. What is the evidence this is the ratio? If it is true Hamas should basically be defeated by now (they only had 30K members, assuming per every one killed they injure or arrest at least one), yet they are still fighting. IDF leaked that they are counting anyone killed in “kill zones” as Hamas, they don’t know for sure if they are truly hamas. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-03-31/ty-article-magazine/.premium/israel-created-kill-zones-in-gaza-anyone-who-crosses-into-them-is-shot/0000018e-946c-d4de-afee-f46da9ee0000
  6. Yes that makes sense, but I’m not sure what the solution is then, because purposefully killing excitement can put a relationship at risk itself, or stop you from even starting one.
  7. I don’t buy the narrative that it’s the “masculine” role to attract and women naturally want to be “feminine” and select. For one in my experience and the experience of just about every guy I know, the more you chase and try to win over a woman the less she likes you. On the other hand every girl I know seems to demonstrate the guy they went the most crazy for, was one that they chased, not the other way around. Scientific studies have also found women tend to be more interested in guys whose feelings for them are unclear / they see other women are interested in / who aren’t nice at first meet. Indicating women actually desire the chase and competition. If you look at the animal kingdom, our two closest living relatives and chimps and bonobos, but as far as I know they don’t necessarily have a mating process of males pursue and females select or reject. Women may prefer the role of being the selector, but then again so do men, I doubt the average guy would say he’d rather go through the stress of trying to pursue someone (risking awkwardness, embarrassment, rejection, or even reputation damage) over an alternative of women hitting on him and deciding that way, maybe if he felt too bad rejecting someone else.
  8. It’s possibly just to extend historical food limitation policies from prior to the war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip_famine#Before_the_war https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/palestinians/2018-07-09/ty-article/.premium/farm-warfare-how-israel-uses-chemicals-to-kill-crops-in-gaza/0000017f-e01e-d804-ad7f-f1fef7830000 https://www.newarab.com/features/lifetime-lost-israels-destruction-palestinian-crops From during the war: https://today.lorientlejour.com/article/1359638/israeli-army-razed-agricultural-land-during-truce-hrw-reports.html

  12. The quality of AI conversations is much better if you can get one that has as little censorship as possible and train it first with quality sources
  13. So you’ve never not been horny but saw a guy you were attracted to and became horny because of him?
  14. Similar to AI, humans also collect data and build on top of it. But we then find new insights. The point is AI can start forming its own insights through the same process and we lose control over it.
