  1. Where is this clip from? I would love to share it on my social media, but I want to give the due credit.
  2. Okay, love. Of course we will not solve world crisis with a bumper sticker. Obviously, we will resolve them with long posts that no one reads. 🙄
  3. @stevenkesslar, you should have sucked it up. 9/11 was a horrible day, but this time was the US's turn to have a horrible day after decades of US abussing, bombing and murdering other peoples. You should have taken the hit as a good loser. You should have improved your defenses as you did. You should have target the terrorists leaders and assets as you did. But you should have not invaded another country. Is this tribalist mentality that is universal and is taking us to these horrible massacres. Is this specific Superiority mentality that takes the US and another few powers to believe they are the world police. Imagine the US or Israel or Rusia or China accepting a UN resolution. Instead, we are bullied and talked down and lectured.
  4. Indeed. He represents some of the worse treats of Israeli (and worldwide) politics. However, the harassment and murdering of innocent Palestinians has been Israeli policy long before he came into scene.
  5. Hamas and Israel will continue murdering innocent civilians as long as there are people like @unicorn who believe that some lives are worth more than others.
  6. I am right now waiting for the vote counting to start. Milei's victory would be disastrous. If you are literate on Argentinean political misadventures, the outcome will be enjoyable, whatever the result of this election is. Even if Milei does not win tomorrow, at least one of the two other political alliances will collapse. The political landscape after this election will radically differ from the last 20 Argentinean years.
  7. I bet if those kids were White, you would find alternatives.
  8. Of course, there are alternatives. The elephant in the room is the extended belief that Palestinian lives are worthless. If Gaza had a substantial White European population, I bet there would be many alternatives. But as we can see, many in this forum think that the death of thousands on one side is a reasonable reaction to the ends of a few on the other side. OK, this time, it was not a few. Hamas fucked the Isarelies this time. But again, this is a long history, and we know how the ratio of deaths between both sides has been.
  9. Hopefully, this is just a rhetoric excess. You cannot take away responsibility from the Israelis making the decision to launch those missiles. Indeed Hamas is responsible, but it is not entirely responsible. Both sides are poisoned by hared and dehumanizing each other. This is why I am so pessimistic about the situation in that part of the world. It is such an explosive coctel. It is probably the worst experiment of colonialism and imperialism in human history.
  10. No, he's not right. This conflict didn't start with the latest Hamas attack. Anyway, it's interesting to see how this is evolving. It doesn't make sense to me that Hamas would massacre so many innocent Israeli civilians. They outsmarted Israel's defense and could have claimed an astonishing victory if they had destroyed Israeli military installations and killed or captured their soldiers. Instead, they murdered and kidnapped innocent people. They aren't dumb. This might be a provocation to lure Israeli deployment into Gaza and surprise the Israelis again with unexpected tactics and weapons. I doubt Israel isn't entering the territory to avoid innocent Palestinian deaths. History shows that Palestinian lives are undervalued to them. They are probably gathering intelligence because they have the same suspicions I do: Hamas is planning something else.
  11. There is always a choice. Terrorists always argue to have none. Lies.
  12. I think my bad English blurred the sarcasm in my remark. I was implying that the Israeli government has intentionally murdered piles of innocent civilians. This is not some abuse from a crazy soldier with PTSD. For decades they have been bombing areas densely populated, knowing that innocent women, seniors, and children would died. They have been bulldozing houses and occupying land. This is not an isolated act but decades of terrorist aggression and territorial expansion. The key difference you are highlighting is just nuance. Hamas and the Israel government are two souless monsters terrorizing the Palestinian people.
  13. Ja! This is just not true. If they do not plow down intentionally innocent civilians, they are unintentionally very efficient at murdering women and children in mass. Check the numbers of Palestinian and Israeli civilian deaths in the last 20 years. Hamas and the Israeli government, both are indefensible.
  14. If you have MAX/HBO, watch last night's John Oliver. The intro is a call for human empathy and common sense that unfortunately has no yet been uploaded to YouTube.
  15. There are many differences between Israel and Hamas, but also similarities. Both are willing to take whatever it takes (as the local ally of genocides worded it) to attain their goals. Hamas is willing to kill innocent women and children, as they have done, and Israel is willing to kill innocent women and children, as they have done. Because both sides are crazy, there seems to be only one solution for this conflict: erasing one of the two sides from existence. I choose to stay away and wish the best for all innocent civilians on both sides.
  16. What a silly argument about polls. Some people's moral compass follows public opinion.
  17. Or an exorcism.
  18. One more thing to praise Google Translate: you do not need wifi. You can download the dictionaries for the languages you use, and it works without being hooked to the internet.
  19. And you do not need to type. You can set it for the oral input. It has a conversation mode that works quite well with English, Spanish, and Portuguese, the languages I use.
  20. You should apply this to everything about this gentleman. To answer your question, I agree with the friends before me. Your concern for being in the "friend zone" should pale to how concerned you should be about getting out of the "speculation zone." Talk directly about sharing your bed, your time, what you want to do, and what is expected in return. The worst that can happen is you laugh together at the misunderstanding if your impression of him is correct.
  21. With one of the biggest and most prestigious Brazilian universities in the hood, I bet you Grindr works just fine.
  22. It looks like it should not be so surprising. Those three countries will grow less than they did in the last 20 years. I think it is more interesting to see how projections for Spain, South Korea, Australia, Turkey, and China have plummeted compared to the last two decades and how Mexico and South Africa are expected to grow much more than they did in the previous 20 years. Oh. For a minute, I forgot most friends here live in SE Asia.
  23. Hey! I am planning to be in Medellin in November, but I have everything already booked.
