Good social skills require more than just being "sociable" though. Intelligence and logical thinking play an important role too so I doubt that focusing _only_ on soft skills is the best way to become sociable in a…
My pet theory is that companies deliberately stick with terrible chat apps in order to discourage employees from chatting and keep them "working" instead. In my experience, it's not a good tradeoff though.
Thank you for the unban! I'll behave. @4gotunameagain Really appreciate standing up for me, thanks.

> Comparing Israeli's to Nazi's is a common antisemitic trope. That doesn't mean the comparison is inaccurate.
True. Hopefully one day brown people will be considered people too.
Did exactly what?

It's okay to have an agenda, just be honest about it please. Anti-Zionists tend to be pretty open about their agenda: opposing colonialism, ethno-states, genocide etc. It's telling that modern Zionists often seem less…
The irony here is so perfect that I don't know what to say. Absolutely masterful.
Thanks for sharing. At this point I'm so numb to the destruction that this piece of trivia got to me more than the new satellite photos.
I'm immune to Hasbara and not wasting more time debating it, but just leaving some Wikipedia snippets below as a kind of a "community note". > They never cancelled their original charter Wikipedia [0]: This document…
Interesting insights, thanks. I was raised Protestant (in Europe) and have similar impression of Evangelicals. I'll never be able to wrap my head around some of that shit.
That caught my attention too. It's refreshing to see at least one Christian Zionist showing concern for Arab Christians though.
By all means please enlighten me, what's so unreasonable about it?
> It is well known in Israel and for it's enemy that on holidays there are less people. Nothing weird or reasons to doubt it. I'm Israel's enemy and still had no idea about that. Beyond stupid if true.
Yeah some people really go overboard with their rhetoric, I can only imagine how awful you must feel. Anyway, can we now get back to discussing how entire cities in Gaza have been razed and their inhabitants displaced…
Allowing international journalists in would make the genocide even harder to deny and at that point there's no more returning to the "current situation". Regarding the border, at least for Hamas the 1967 borders would…
This. It's just so much more compelling to follow these discussions as they happen, compared to reading a historical correspondence or something. Of course I'd much prefer if there weren't genocides taking place at all.
Also, who exactly "loses justification": just the individual perpetrators or their whole collective? I hope you wouldn't say that every black slave lost their right for freedom after Nat Turner's gang killed civilians?…
Revenge and collective punishment may be natural human reactions to a terror attack but that doesn't make them justified. Especially when those in charge anticipated the attack and deliberately exploited it.
I hear that myth repeated sometimes but never with any evidence. Like a masterful propagandist, "monideas" has a talent for making claims that are hard to believe but also hard to prove wrong.
Ukraine gets way too much coverage to pull off decent whataboutism. Try Sudan.
"In Islam, taqiyya is the practice of concealing one's faith or religious identity." Joke's on you, I'm a former Christian but no longer belong to any religion. Did you have any actual points you wanted to share?
