@freemo
Israel will raze Gaza until they

1) Run out of Gazans

2) Hamas fully submits and surrenders (hasn't happened)

3) Someone can physically stop Israel (never happen)

4) Palestine cedes Gaza to Israel settlers (unlikely)

PS: every single Israeli that has supported Gaza and Palestine on this is probably on a Mossad list and, at the very least, will be audited by the Tax Collectors and might find it really hard to find jobs in Israel.

Only time will tell.

Yikes!

@chris

Honestly I think that is being too generous.

#1 is valid, genocide wouldcause them to stop because ther eis no one left to kill.

#2 The very idea there is a hamas that can surrender is not really accurate in my mind. Even if the leader did surrender why would the masses of hamas, who are just citizens who had their families slaughtered, accept it? All that would happen is they would change their name or get a new leader. Hamas cant stand down because its own members never would because Pallestine is a country with millions of dead martyrs, youc ant reverse that.

#3 Israel still wouldnt stop short of being wiped out themselves. Even if the USA themselves said we would bomb them if they continue, they would continue.

#4 even that wont work unless 100% of Palestinians would be forced to leave israel all together.

Sadly I think there are one of two outcomes.. 1) (as you say) complete and utter genocide 2) if they were to stop (as they did in the past) it would only be so there are enough pissed off people left to fight them they can use that to sway public opinion to allow a genocide at all, which brings us back to #1

In fact I am of the opinion the only reason they let Palestine survive as long as they did is so someone would fight back enough to give them excuse to genocide them entirely and have some level of global acceptance.

@LouisIngenthron I have only ever seen this older style wiring in pictures. Knob and tube wiring is really my favorite old-school asthetic. At least when its done right. It can also be crazy ugly though.

@LouisIngenthron

Fair, I have seen a few historic houses like that but in my expiernce that is rare. Most homes, even the old ones, are at least partly modernized.

The old style wiring, while more dangerous, is actually something I always wanted just for the asthetic of it, but in practice it doesnt make sense.

@Gbudd

@chris Totally safe. Only way you'd get hurt is if they dont catch ya!

@chris

If there is one thing that is clear int he israli-Palestinian conflict its that there ar eno good guys on either side with a gun. The only good guys in any of this are the massive number of Palestinian casualties and the small handful (comparably) of Israeli hostages..

@mike805 Yea its all really silly once you know the proper fire arm handling.

Around a corner your supposed to tuck in your fire arm, clear the corner, then extend your arm once the entrance is cleared.

@mike805 Ha! Now that is a conspiracy theory I can subscribe to :)

Ina ll reality that probably isnt the case, but it would seem like it with some of the absurdity when it comes to gun handling I've seen.

The one handed side-cocked shot is completely ineffective in any real scenario.

@mike805 haha yup.. you can literally have a 90 degree swing and still be good :)

I guess when you make excuses like that you can justify any sort of genocide you want... we can literally just flatten all the hospitals (most of which they already did). Guess what, when your the good guys you are expected to play by different rules, when you dont, you arent the good guys.

@levisan

I love the cold. I will wear shorts in the snow :) So yea im not typical in that regard either.

But yea it is pretty nice. I have a long distance gf now so i travel often to see her for months on end. I must admit, getting used to wearing clothes is a bit of a transition :)

If there is one thing that I learned from TV is that you can survive a fall from any height so long as someone catches you at the bottom.

@levisan This is probably TMI but i literally dont close any doors in my home except for AC reasons, and am almost never fully clothed when in my home since I literally have no motivation to get dressed :)

You are going to sit on the toilet while no one else is home. Do you close the door?

@levisan I live alone, and no one has a key to my house... so my answer was obviously no but im not sure im the audience you had in mind.

@fencepost

No we arent talking about flooring and timber, yea you can get flooring and timber today at a primeum just as you could get it back then, except back then you had to pay the premium as you had less alternatives.

No its more about the areas where tech matters, insulation, windows, fire safety, computer controlled tech, safety in wiring, etc etc.

@LouisIngenthron @Gbudd

Ozempic is so weird.. i never even knew it was possible to be full and not actually feel the food in your stomach.. like before full meant "physically no space"..

@freemo Why is neither side able to get a younger and less compromised person to step up?

The MAGA side in particular is just ripe for someone who can duplicate Trump's jousting with the media, while avoiding Trump's stupid statements that get him in trouble.
