If you think that’s even remotely comparable to a state actor directly and purposefully targeting an embassy, I’ve got a bridge to sell ya
I have a math degree and still can’t do basic addition

Ah yes, the famously anti-escalation Obama.
Homie go check my history, you’ll see I am far from a fan of Israel and the IDF
Yup. I’ve seen a disturbing amount of people pretending Iran are the good guys just because Israel are also the bad guys, as if it’s impossible for multiple sides in a conflict to be awful
Yeah, I have a flaming hatred for those that cheer on fascism. You probably should too.
The issue is ensuring its clearly not coerced, which is effectively impossible in practice. Unfortunately it’s one of those things where once you allow people to be paid for it, it’s gets really, really dark, really, really quickly.
Didn’t have any bullies in high school (thankfully), but my elementary school bully ended up becoming one of my better friends. Nothing crazy, kid was just a shithead when he was little, he moved to the other side of the district and I didn’t see him again til HS. Completely different and really chill person by then.
I will forever maintain that 8th graders are the most vicious people on this planet
I had a relatively similar experience. Some people were definitely treated like shit, but there’s was nearly none of what’s classically considered bullying, especially of a physical nature. Im not pretending it was some utopia where everybody got alone, but the vast majority of people were far too busy worrying about their own shit.
Yeah that’s just… not how that works? People are perfectly capable to keeping to themselves without necessarily being bullied
Clarification. Half the electorate doesn’t see genocide happening because they don’t see Palestinians as humans
The Deep, is that you?
Or more likely, they knew nut didn’t care, because they did all the same tbings.
Yeah it’s been years since I’ve gotten anything like this, although that may be because I never answer calls from numbers I don’t recognize
I’ve got a pretty decent stomach for horrible stuff. Having unfettered internet access from a very young age tends to desensitize you to a lot of things.
I damn near couldn’t finish it, and honestly I wish I didn’t. It’s just so, so awful.
“Anyone who runs is a VC. Anyone who stands still is a well-disciplined VC.”
Humors a pretty common response to awful situations. It’s a useful coping tool as the world continues to go to shit around us.
I didn’t know weeb-hipsters existed
In terms of escalation? Obama absolutely was not better.
Obviously in the vast majority of other ways he was, but let’s not pretend that Obama didn’t have the option of ending the forever war instead of quadrupling down with the surge
