So this only applies for military related jobs, right?

... right?

I think that the multiverse exist and we're the 1% of timelines that the cold war didnt go hot.

Some of the most powerful people of the world work hard to get us closer.

It's just a joke about how weird human culture is. I wonder how you infer anything about me as a person because of one silly joke? Only super weird people can notice weird cultural things and make jokes about it? Genuinely curious about your reasoning here.

To me its much weirder that it's normalized to drink baby milk from another species, to the point that it seems completely normal, but each to their own.

It's crazy how many people have never been weaned

But could the average hunter still hunt without the help of modern technology? Those who are entirely unable to do so are obviously not apex predators.

A lion can hunt any day without relying on a rifle, the vast majority of hunters could not.

So if you are smart enough to develop ranged weapons

Hunters that can build their own bows or spears and are able to hunt with them are genuine apex predators, that's fair.

Those who are completely reliant on industrially produced high tech firearms bought in a store, and would be outcompeted by any house cat without them, are not.

So apex that even hunters need firearms because they're not fit enough to hunt without them nowadays, and unable to improvise and use self made weapons like the og hunters did.

I guess people that drive a forklift are "apex powerlifters" too.

They just know people will buy the meat no matter how much the animals were abused so why would they bother? Even those who see themselves as animal lovers happily look the other way with every purchase. The industry has all the incentives to be exceptionally cruel so of course it is.

Most of the stories posted on large subreddits were imaginary anyway. Now they are just being hallucinated by an AI. Is there much of a difference?

It is absurd, and complicit at this point. I think most people who are informed about what's happening in Gaza would agree on this. But it's not much of a topic in public discourse here and quite a few people still believe that the IDF is fighting against terrorists, so there's not enough pressure against this. Especially amongst the conservatives.

That's my impression from DIS, but isn't SNW supposed to be decent?

If trump knew he was going to die he'd probably claim that he was poisoned by the democrats to at least see some more violence committed for him.

My history teachers focused a lot on the crimes of the Nazis and their rise to power, and after WW2, pretty much only the Cold War, German East-West divide and reunification were covered. Israel wasn't really much of a topic. We learned that there was conflict and violence between the Jews who went there and the people who already lived there, but that's about it.

Just one friend of mine learned more about the conflicts and came to the conclusion that Israel is quite fucked up.

I think that the majority of people know very little about what happened, and the "we need to support Israel to make things right" sentiment was an easy gesture of good will from politicians that seemed like common sense and was engrained in the political establishment over the decades (encouraged by the US). Only now this is becoming more controversial. But I think most people still have the position "this is all complicated and it's too removed for me, idk, terrorism and bombings from both sides are bad."

 

Is it possible to block all communities of an instance from showing up in the "all" feed? Or would you have to block each community individually?
