Nothing is nonstick like Teflon … But the VAST majority of cooking doesn’t require that level of nonstick, either.

Unless you have a French omelette addiction, you probably don’t need Teflon.

Hamas literally ran politically as MODERATES. They’ve gone full jihadist. Without democratic process to keep the structure honest no party can be trusted.

Hamas rips up pipe to make rockets, and steals construction supplies to make tunnels.

The pipe and supplies that are supposed to help Palestinians live and survive without disease.

So that Hamas can apply pressure to ISRAEL for the Palestinian conditions?

Myself and literally everyone I know want to support the Palestinians. And it’s impossible to support them while Hamas (or another jihadist organization) is there.

It’s a circle, not a line. Far left and far right end up meeting in the middle.

As usual, the onion nails the satire.

It’s technically our second place and it’s bigger, newer, but needs a bit of updating.

It’s not everything we wanted and between closing costs, moving costs, the exhaustion of moving and adjusting to the move I don’t think we’re going to do it again before we’re priced out of the thing we want.

We were hedging against either a bigger market correction or a bigger price explosion. Instead we just got weird global stress and fatigue.

Arguing from empathy with no regard for facts is hopeless.

Arguing from facts with no regard for empathy is dangerous.

We need both.

Yeah I’m as confident about the shit chocolate as this guy is about the chocolate shit.

Don’t forget _Coca-Cola Fanta.

“some brands of bikes” make frames out of carbon fiber with wireless derailleurs and have rear facing radar to detect when other bikes or vehicles are approaching, how fast, and on which side.

When your exercise, your recreation, your hobby, and your transportation are all the same thing, it’s easy to justify spending more to make those things as easy and pleasant as possible.

You can get a perfectly usable bike for very little money in America… Probably still made in China though 😂

Just BROADLY speaking, the pro Palestinian take right now is that Israel should be removed and Palestine given all of the territory.

Like, that’s the take. They don’t just want an end to the violence - Israel wants that too. Hamas has been dedicated to the destruction of Jews and Israel for basically forever.

So it’s asymmetrical.

The pro Israel take is “destroy Hamas so that these attacks stop and there can be peace.” But it’s important to note that up until the October 7 attack Israel only wanted peace. This new policy is a reaction to an unprecedented attack.

I have some organic cyanide you might be interested in…

Yes.

This is the thing people don’t understand about a ubi.

I had a coworker who’s wife was a… Case manager? For welfare. Her whole job was determining whether or not people were lying/exaggerating about various elements of their claim.

First of all, government union paper pushers make decent money. There was an entire office full of people that covered cases in their region only.

Second, it’s a soul sucking job. Her primary assumption was that everyone was cheating and lying and she needed to minimize everyone’s payout.

UBI solves both of those things and by plugging it directly into the tax system people can be free to try to earn a better living, which studies have shown most people want when they are given a UBI.

Increased productivity, increased employment, increased entrepreneurship, increased mental health outcomes, there is literally no downside except for needing to tax the rich.

So wait, your position is that Israel is behind the Hamas attacks on Israel, in order to justify their military action against Gaza?

Do you have any evidence to support that?

IIRC Jews have called the land west of the river Jordan Israel for a long time, too, 3000 years or so?

So what do we do, get into a competition to see who can find the oldest historical documents? Or just accept that we have two (or more, really) groups of people that have historical and cultural import around the same region?

And more importantly, can we do that without the constant terrorism? I think we can all agree that terrorism is bad.

I know you’re making more of a cynical joke, but no contractors are gonna be willing to go into Gaza to rebuild under Hamas.

Probably similar to all the other aid.

They’ll send construction supplies that will be used for tunnels instead, and pipes for plumbing that will be used to make bombs instead.

So much aid has been directed to Palestinians only to be stolen by Hamas.

There’s a difference between a historical description of the land, and a formal Nation.

Even Mandated Palestine wasn’t Palestinian-run, it was British.

If I poke a bear and then it chases me home and eats my family while I’m hiding in the basement, it’s my fault.

Only instead of poking the bear I’m murdering its cubs.

It doesn’t matter how much stronger the bear is than me. If anything, I SHOULDN’T POKE THE BEAR.
