No, you have to meet people where they are. You have to question their position until it becomes untenable and they give up. It never feels like a victory, but you have to hope that eventually it will make a difference...

Even if "eliminate Hamas" is the response, forcing the entire population out and bombing the whole fucking place is not the only way.

Doubly so, because if you kill and/or displace hundreds of thousands of civilians, how many of those do you think will remain civilians, and how many will subsequently be bolstering the numbers of Hamas?

The onus is not on this random internet commenter to produce an alternative. Can you really not think of one thing Israel could do that doesn't involve glassing what's left of a country?

I mean there's no reason that a perfectionist would be irritated by an 89 degree angle, so I suspect this meme has had its way with you just as intended

Unwise. Evil cat? Things get knocked from tables. Evil dog? Face gets eaten from head.

The problem with this conflict in particular is that taking the side of Palestine has become synonymous with taking the side of Hamas, or with simply being antisemitic. It's essential if you want to express any support for Palestine that you also painstakingly lay out exactly what you support and what you don't, otherwise.... Well, the onion said it best.

Well the speed of light is actually faster than you can reasonably comprehend... you can't see or experience the travel time of something going that fast. 300m is not unreasonable to understand once you've experienced it though - that's a big boat, but you can see one and get a sense of the scale.

They don't want to "kill Firefox" though. They want people to use Google products in all forms - using Google through Firefox is better than scattering users to other browsers without a Google default. By forcing users to Chromium they don't just kill Firefox, they direct users TO ever more Google products in the process.

IQ tests are designed relative to the population so the median is always (or should always be) 100. The point is that is measures people against one another in the present. If we all got 10% smarter, our individual IQ scores would stay the same.
