I bet something like this will do better than the actual film

About what I expected, the game seems kinda half-hearted tbh

It was posted by Walter Bloomberg on X and Breaking Market News, they didn’t provide a source. They’re typically apolitical but it may have come from that Erdogan journalist

Israel just told Egypt that if they try to bring supplies to Gaza that Israel will bomb the trucks.

I don’t know, the side quests in this game are infinitely better than 99% of other RPGs. I think most others would have the side quests be like… - gather 10 mugworts for Auntie Ethel - defeat 5 cursed shadows to aid the Harpers - collect 5 flute fragments to wake Art Cullagh - Rolan slipped and the flying scrolls are going rogue. Help Rolan keep his job by catching all the flying scrolls! (4/79 completed)

Did they increase FOV on the Quest 3 compared to the 1 and 2?

Jason claims not to be a boomer, so clearly he’s greatest generation or silent generation, because there’s no way any gen x or millennial doesn’t know what tossing salad means.

It’s weird that AEW doesn’t stream next day on Max considering TBS/TNT shows tend to already

I’ve been periodically checking in with people I know and friends in Israel: it won’t be anything official (and will be extremely anecdotal) but next time I speak with some of them I’ll ask what the general vibes are regarding Netanyahu right now. You absolutely cannot compare Israeli politics with American politics. Israel, as a country, is based around security and preparing for the eventuality of attacks every day and trying to be a step ahead. In elementary schools, when they do “active shooter” drills, kids aren’t taught to hide under desks, they’re taught to grab whatever they can and pelt it at the shooter while others charge to tackle the attacker. A failure of this magnitude will absolutely not be unnoticed or forgotten by the Israeli people when the dust settles. Netanyahu could wriggle his way out of this if he finds a convincing scapegoat, but it is very likely an uphill battle for him politically after this. Absolutely no one in Palestine benefits from this. The ones who benefit are the foreign nations who hate Israel that fund Palestinian groups into fighting battles for them, and these countries couldn’t give less of a shit about Palestine or their “freedom”. I’ll go as far to say that these nations actually hate the Palestinians. As I mentioned above, it’s possible Bibi comes out of this mostly okay politically, but I do not believe that it’s going to be super easy for him.

To my understanding, there’s a not insignificant amount of people in Israel that essentially want genocide now.

Imagine if this dingus gets put back as speaker after being voted out

Yes, 3 years for men, 2 years for women. They're allowed to do civil service instead in some instances, but the vast majority just do their conscription. IIRC, they also get some basic firearms training in high school (final year prior to conscription). So, basically, like 90%+ of Israeli's have (at least basic) firearms training.

Seems like the place for this, idk

Sounds on par for British map makers of the time EDIT: Realized I meant but forgot to state in my post that it was a garbage offer and I don’t blame the Palestinians for not taking that offer.

Israel Defense Ministry orders “complete siege” of Gaza (reported by CNN)

Rockets were reportedly fired from southern Lebanon towards Galilee

The tagging of Jason is what made this a thread of the year candidate

I don’t disagree (a two state solution is basically a fantasy), but I want to clarify that my comment was regarding now, not when colonial powers (mostly the British) decided to draw imaginary lines on maps and completely buttfuck the Middle East. If land was carved out of Germany instead (since Israel’s creation was in response to the end of WWII and the holocaust), maybe things would be different, but world powers of the time wanted to give the biblical holy land (and also probably didn’t want to give up European land). There were Jewish settlements in that region already, and, if I’m remembering my high school history classes correctly, a two state solution was initially offered by the British map line drawers in 1946/1947 but the Palestinians rejected it (and no, I’m not saying the Palestinian’s are to blame), and the (now) Israelis slowly gained control of more of the area via fighting. My question is now, in 2023, where do these “free Palestine” people want the Israelis to go? I’ve noticed it’s typically no actual answer from these people, or they low-key support genocide.

Colonialism is bad, but it’s been over 75 years, like, where the F do you want the Israeli’s to go? Every country surrounding them thinks they don’t have a right to exist, and not just as a country but as people. Palestinian cartoons for children literally have antagonists as stereotypical Jews with horns and clawed hands and claim to eat children’s hearts. Like jfc, Israel provides Palestine with water, electricity, etc. (and, no, I’m not saying that makes any action by Israel okay ffs). I do not support Israel further expanding into land where Palestinian’s already are living, but to fucking be “loling” a situation (or passive aggressively supporting fucking hamas’ actions (no one here btw)) where 700+ people are dead and many Israeli women and children have been literally kidnapped having god knows fucking what being done to them, is some next level “please go jump in front of a fucking bus” type shit.
