Also, its marketed as a children’s mouth guard so it probably helps them want to wear it. Not a parent though, so I have no idea.

Genuine response, I’m not trying to argue or be feisty, I’m honestly curious:

I was raised with Zionist views and so my background and knowledge leans very pro-Israelie Jews. I’m hearing your words and when I then follow the last sentence with “so then where do the Israelie Jews go who are being claimed to take the homes of the Palestinians?” I’m brought to a drop in the path as my knowledge says that the homes they’re in (not literally but same location) are their original homes. So, the question is: if we give Palestinians their homes back in Jerusalem and throughout Israel, where do those now displaced people go? Russia, Germany, Poland, etc? Those aren’t their original homes either, they were displaced to there earlier and then had to flee from there eventually as well.

I would really appreciate a continuation of your reasoning or solution-ing - not as a challenge but to understand what happens after the Palestinians get what they need/want. The immediate answer displaces Israelie Jews, yet again, and it’s frustrating as no one comes out and says that straight up. I think that’s where a lot of the frustration in conversations comes from as the silence on that followed question leads to it being perceived as anti-semetic rhetoric eventually being answered as “fuck them - they’re from nowhere and have no claim or right to any land” which eventually leads to the jump of “they’re not worth anyone’s time” which leads to worse.

Please note: I’m not inviting name calling or rude comments, I’m purely looking for a civil discussion to broaden my views and am open to alternative viewpoints from my own.

I mean, if a household that keeps kosher has two sets of everything (plateware, silverware, sinks, etc) to make sure meat doesn’t touch dairy…the logic states you should have a different machine/method for excrement-related things to ensure it doesn’t touch your normal plateware and silverware.

I, personally, would not be comfortable using the machine again for food related things if I found out my housemate had washed the toilet brush in our dishwasher. Poop is meant to be expelled from your body, not consumed in any way - may I remind (the royal) you how pink eye originates?

And provided the real word for extremist Zionists! 👏🏼 props :)

Universal copy - turns your screen into a notepad basically where you can copy any text currently showing on it - super handy for a multitude of things

Twilight - you can set a timer or match it with the sunset/sunrise to redshift your screen to help ease the transition to bedtime by negating the blinding blue screen. I have it set to an hour before I’m supposed to be in bed and love it.

If you have a Samsung: Goodlock - shit let’s you customize to your heart’s content without the need for a different launcher. Pretty awesome imo for a low barrier entry customized phone setup.

Marco Polo - I use this with my family constantly since we live across the world from each other; it’s a short video messaging service where you communicate with short videos and history is kept indefinitely. Like snapchat but no disappearing ability and no ads or influencer shit. They also handle it pretty well when you lose a loved one by preseving their account separate from their phone number as, obviously, they won’t have ownership of that anymore. Good dev team who listens to feedback and not owned by a bigger corp afaik.

Unfortunately, I believe that feeling will change if you look into how Spotify actually harms the artists by forcing them to use their product even though they make slim to none profit. The more you know.

What about the theory that all of DS9 and therefore Star Trek are all in citizen Sisko’s mind just as a hopeful future.

35, American, can only drive automatic but have been trying to learn manual. My barrier is never having a car available to me to practice on. 🙃

This is fascinating to me, I’m curious what happened as to why you couldn’t leave a parking spot. Were you trying to back out or pull forward out of the spot?
