Mountain streams flowing,
Vaush’s heart beats as horse race,
Cock cries in delight.

Horse rider gallops by,
Strong tail stirring autumn leaves,
Erection takes hold.

Sunset paints the sky,
Bronze stallion calls Vaush’s name,
Aroused, he mounts.

Clearly, my dear learned friend, you are an undeniable polymath - for not only do you possess the knowledge of a single day’s duration, but also the power to discern its nuanced usage in everyday speech. Your intellect soars beyond the stratosphere where mere mortals can barely comprehend the concept of time. However, your thirst for wisdom should compel you to explore further: once you understand the intricacies of “new day”, you may delve into the complexities of time itself. Did you know a standard clock hour differs from a solar hour? Or how about sidereal time, which deviates even more? You see, only the truest of geniuses understand that what we call a day isn’t fixed or universal; it varies based on one’s perspective. Keep seeking, my wise friend, because there’s always more to discover.

Holy fuck, that opening picture, a 6 year old just completed an operation to remove her eyeball damaged by shrapnel. That 1000 yard stare doesn’t belong on a 60 year old, never mind a 6 year old. Fuck war.

If the worst you can say about this scheme is: “people may vote randomly” I don’t feel that bad. I assume the amount of people that spite vote(!) would be greatly outnumbered by people that actually give a shit (but who may not be able to vote today, due to work obligations)

One minor twist: the legislation mandates that one reports to the polling center. The uninformed can select “none of the above” if they are not sure what would be best.

Been using KDE + HiDPI + X11 for close to 5 years now, not a blurry font to be found.

“My opinions are so weak, I can’t tolerate dissent.”

I prefer talking about the specific way they behave Nazi-like vs just throwing out “NAZI” as a drive-by insult. We learn nothing that way and it’s not factually accurate.

They are at 1.5% of the population of Gaza and daily death tolls have fallen month after month. If that’s the goal shouldn’t the killing apparatus become more effective and not 20% less so each month?

I’m sorry not enough people are getting killed efficiently enough for you. What do you think ‘Total Victory’ means for Israel here?

Which law are we talking about?

Calling them Nazis is boring and reductive. Not only is it plainly NOT true, it deprives us of the ability to speak about what they are doing that is specifically horrible. I hear white supremacists and IDF members both called Nazis but I don’t think those two groups would really get along that well. Let’s look at some parallels between Nazi Germany and Israel:

Authoritarian Governance - Both regimes are characterized by strong central governments with little tolerance for dissenting views, often suppressing free speech and opposition movements.

Expansionist Policies - In the case of Nazi Germany, their expansionism was marked by aggressive territorial conquest and annexation. Likewise, Israel’s policies towards Palestinians have been accused of being expansionist in nature, as they continue to build settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Ethnic Cleansing and Displacement - The Holocaust was the most notorious example of ethnic cleansing carried out by the Nazis against the Jewish population. Similarly, Zionist settlers forced around 750,000 Palestinians from their homes during the 1948 war that led to Israel’s creation. Today, many Palestinians are still displaced and unable to return to their homeland due to Israeli policies.

Racial Purity - During Nazi rule, racial purity became a key tenet of the Third Reich’s ideology. Jews were considered racially inferior and subjected to extreme measures like mass murder in order to preserve the Aryan race. In Israel, there is a longstanding emphasis on Jewishness as a requirement for full citizenship rights, while non-Jewish citizens, especially those of Arab or Palestinian descent, face discrimination and exclusion.

Control over Media and Education - Both regimes sought to control the dissemination of information through state-controlled media and propaganda. They also manipulated education systems to inculcate nationalistic values and a particular historical narrative.

I could go on, but isn’t it nice to talk specifics instead of just lobbing insulting slurs back and forth?

Why do they bother with this show?

For the same reason millions of depressed Americans will report to their local polling place to choose between two old men in a few months.

Before starting a war, ask yourself what victory would look like. It appears here that the goal is wiping Gaza entirely and anything short of that will be construed as a loss.

bro we should meet up

No clue. I’m just pointing out the existing association. He could be 1 in 1000 or he could be in 1 in 4.

LOL that’s what I’m talking about… I can see the reply already “that’s not true anti-semitism…”

“A huge asshole, but at least he’s not racist!” – damned by faint praise

Yeah, that’s not true coverage of the topic… give me a break.

He is quite clear that no one can speak or reach the father except through him. And that he is the light and way and none other. Not exactly a message of religious tolerance.

By the same standard the pope is hateful. You may or may not agree with this, depending on your opinion of the pope.

Why is it that followers of holy books always have a section or two that should be ignored when it’s convenient?

‘the word of God’, but you can toss out whole sections without a second thought, meanwhile, if you break what’s said in the other section you’re definitely evil
