I've fantasized about this.

I had some friends who actually DID build a secret room behind a bookshelf, where they had their home theatre or something like that I forget (they were more like close coworkers of my wife than my own friends, but they were super nice).

I'm part of the problem, because I keep replying and giving you an audience, so consider this my last reply.

When someone is raising an issue, and you're considering if you want to expand or generalize the topic, ask yourself "will the person with the issue benefit from what I'm about to say?"
If they wont, and they're not hurting anyone, then maybe stfu, especially if you inhabit a position of power, in society, relative to them. If it's still important to you, then go start another conversation elsewhere.

In this case, they won't, and you probably do, and you insisted on speaking up here anyways, which makes you just like all the dudes trying to make this about themselves. You do not pass the vibe check.

What exactly do you think my current position is?

There was never a fig leaf. They already didn't need to devote any attention to political cover, the USA already made it clear that it wouldn't tolerate holding Israel or any of the Israeli politicians accountable in international courts.

The difference between the two is purely in wording and absolutely immaterial. If anything, trump is being more honest about it.

Trump is terrible for other reasons, but they're both equal in this matter

how about his commitment to arm Israel with no strings attached? No humanitarian aid, no cease fires...

Oh you mean exactly like right now?

Anyone who thinks that orange man is an improvement is an idiot. But anyone who thinks Kamala would be better is also an idiot.

Israel is already getting everything they could ever wish for. There is nothing that Trump could offer that they're not already getting, including protection from the international community.

I realize that the news show doesn't necessarily reflect the Dem, but you know it does

Increased suffering?
How can their suffering be increased more than it is now?

Israel is already getting everything could have ever wished for. There is nothing trump could do to make that worse.

There were other reasons to vote for Harris, but this wasn't one.

What will trump do to cause more Palestinian deaths?
What COULD he do?

Israel is already getting everything they wanted, and facing zero consequences or obstacles.

I don't disagree with you wrt American deaths, but that's not what this post is about

Notice how you didn't actually give a reason?

You just can't help yourself

Did my name give it away? 😏

But yes, I appreciate that sentiment 😩

 

With all this talk of UFOs, I have to wonder about the Simpsons prediction accuracy.

 

I know I just posted one, but I thought of another

 
 

I know I'm not the first one to wonder, but really...

 

The report button is right next to the share button, so I keep accidentally tapping report. If common action like share could be moved out of the hamburger list, as they are on the website, I think that'd make life easier.

Would it be better to make these requests directly on GitHub? I see other people making requests here so I wasn't clear
