  • The post argues how jews occupied the land and are treating Palestinians poorly and the proposed solution is to ‘make every country safe for jews’ and ‘stop creating an ethnostate’. The past is past, you can’t undo all the things that already happened. The “ethnostate” already exists. Other countries stopping from being antisemitic won’t solve anything now. So what I understand is being proposed, between the lines, is for other countries to stop being antisemitic, so the Israelis can go to those other countries instead of their own and give the land back.


  • You could say the same thing about the US, it’s been under european occupation for 250 years.

    Most jews living in Israel were born there. Like it or not, that is their home now. They can’t go back to their country because they don’t have another one.

    What can be changed is only what they do from now on. The right thing is to make peace and make ammends with the Palestinian people. The wrong thing to do is the genocide they are doing right now.




  • While in this particular case I agree with you, I’ve noticed a frustrating trend that just keeps getting worse. On one hand, search engines are failing to adapt to content farms. On pretty much any topic, you will find these generic sites that have poorly written articles that are hard to distinguish from AI. Try searching for “best linux distro” to see what I mean. Even on programming topics, you will find many sites that simply copy the content from stackoverflow and github.

    On the other hand, people aren’t making websites and blogs anymore. More and more people are only using social media platforms, which aren’t being indexed by search engines. I hate seeing that so many discussions are now on Discord instead of forums. How many Twitter threads have you seen that should have been blog posts?




  • They are ok, but the implementation in some stores is terrible. The one closest to my home has a scale that measures the weight of the products you scan. Almost every time I use it that scale decalibrates itself or doesn’t properly detect that I put the product down, and locks itself until a cashier comes and solves the issue. And it locks itself for other reasons too, like if a card payment fails, you can’t retry until the cashier comes and unlocks it. The only advantage is the smaller queue.
