Now, when you (whoever wrote the title) say settlers, do you mean occupiers, or actual settlers? It seems people forget basic facts when talking about these particular nations.

You can't force people from their homes, move in, and call yourself a settler. You're an occupier from a hostile nation, or an annexer, if you like that term better.

If you find some unclaimed land or are invited in by the locals, then you're a settler.

One can make the argument that you're just being literal, but at that point - as a journalist who should be using the most clear and communicative language, you're just trying to frame something bad under a different light, which speaks volumes about you and your agenda.

For years I've heard parties during elections and such claim they'll abolish the exploitative evil zero hour contracts too, something that weighs heavily in my decision on what party to vote for, and then sod all happens.

This seems like it'll have less capitalist ruling class pushback though, so it has a fair chance of happening.

Wild, we all got vaccinated against measles as kids here, crazy that Alberta doesn't have they kind of free healthcare yet.

Google does try to feed me news from "The Times of Israel", quite often, which is really odd. Usually I only get shown valid local news, occasionally stuff from America too.

And.... The Times of Israel, I guess?

While I generally support the proper usage of my Nation's language, as well as making linguistic education available and fun for all, pedantry on the wording surrounding the horrific deaths of hundreds of innocent men, women, and children is uncouth.

There is a time and a place for everything, and this wasn't it. I'm sorry to be blunt.

So, so many poorly informed people in here jumping to conclusions, many of which were already ruled out in the preliminary report.

I don't know any more than what's in that document myself.

Perhaps some of the armchair aircraft safety investigators in here might want to at least skim the details before coming up with wild theories? Or at least provide reasoning and evidence to support them.

May those who lost their lives, and their loved ones, find peace and closure as best they can once we have all the details. Until then, it would be crass to speculate, especially as non-experts not privvy to the details of the investigation.

I've never seen a single firefly in my life. I don't think we get them in England, sadly :-(

I think the issue is that you've not provided evidence that the other user supports Israel's genocide in Gaza.

At the end of the day it's just an internet argument and not worth it, but if you want to make your point, I'd start by getting that evidence.

I do agree in principle that I would think twice before agreeing with any position a genocide supporter takes, though that doesn't necessarily mean I will disagree on any particular point after giving it due thought. If they said throwing puppies from a roof was bad, I'd agree, for example.

I don't see whatever this image is, it's not loading?

 

Hello fellow Boosters! :-D

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious here, 😅 I saved a comment I'd like to go back to the other day but don't recall exactly what it was (darn my poor ADHD memory), and so I wanted to scroll through my saved/favourited comments to find it.

When I go to the "Saved" tab it lets me scroll through saved posts, but I can't find any way to switch to scrolling through saved comments, so I'm not sure how I'd go about finding them?

Thanks!
