Maybe if you imagined then being played angrily by tiny little opera phantoms it would help.

Probably a bunch of footage that would make them look worse. The usual stuff, making fun of victims and then saying racist shit.

Pointing out racism is not you making everything about racism, it’s there being a lot of racist shit.

If he didn’t try a coup after he lost the last election, you might be able to give him the benefit of the doubt.

It’s far, far less than Israel has killed. Before Oct 7th, it was about ten to one Palestinians killed for every Israeli killed. Now it’s much much worse and getting worse everyday. Or does that not matter?

Now, can we say Hamas is bad? Of course we can, but by whatever metrics we use to call out Hamas as being bad, Israel is at least ten times worse.

You can’t bring in the amount of children Hamas has killed, and at the same time ignore that Is real has killed way more, and expect people to take you seriously. And if you want to try to play the “who shot first” game, that was also Israel, forcing its way into the land that they now occupy. And every square inch they have invaded since.

I loved it when it came out, and was excited for the series when I heard about it. But my family did not have cable so I couldn’t watch the series until years later, luckily there were still 7 years of the show left.

Edit to add, I don’t disagree with you about the general public forgetting about it.

I love Stargate and the shows. I get the criticism, and don’t much disagree with it, love Stargate anyway.

I get the idea of the turn off the brain thing, but I think it’s more about being willing to jump into another reality. Yeah, it’s an action movie light on story, but honestly a lot of critically acclaimed dramas are just as light on story in order to get to the drama. There’s nothing writing with that and sometimes it works. I also like a lot of them.

Kidnapped person, in the wrong place at the wrong time, found fatally wounded by bullets that had moved at a fast rate of speed that originated from firearms that police happened to be holding at the time the gun powder started a chemical reaction that sent them flying out of the barrels.

Wait until they read the second one “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water”

Don’t forget every major corporation.

Companies will use them before they are perfect.

I can’t seem to get over that this dude looks like the lead in a bad 1970s comedy.

Beginners, in general, can’t necessarily read a long list of things and figure out which one of the things applies to their question. So simply closing as a dupe without any guidance is not good.

And even simply closing and marking as a dupe is fine. But that’s not what the person I’m responding to and I are talking about. Having someone come in and shame a beginner and then ban their account is not mentioned in your response, but is the shitty behavior that needs to change.

I’m trying to interpret this as a response to my post, but it doesn’t make sense. I don’t want to assume incorrectly or misinterpret your response so I need you to clarify what you mean.

Unfortunately, this is how it has always been, at least for me over the last thirty+ years of programming. It has been getting better, but there are still a bunch of old school assholes who seem to think that being shamed and learning everything through personal trial and error is the best way to learn because that is how they learned.

Who said that all they wanted was the land?

And if you think that the Sinai Peninsula was in any way peaceful, you’re missing a lot. It gives the impression that you don’t know what you’re talking about and are only using bullet points that someone else came up with. If not, go ahead and look into it and there you will find the answer.

Irrational deflections aside, Israel is taking land from peaceful people as well as people fighting back. If you were to disregard the excuses given by Israel and look at what has been going on for 80 years, you might see that their actions speak louder than their words. At about 10 times louder and getting even louder.

Edit: line breaks

The person I’m replying to seems to be missing a lot of historical context, which is why I’m asking the question and why I’m not going to answer yours without a bit of quid pro quo.

How long do you think they should try diplomacy for before they realize that it’s not working?
