Lemmy has terrible UX too. I only find it useable because of third-party apps.

Mate I’ve got briefs that are two decades old

I don’t think I would do that. I kinda like having new-ish underwear.

Yeah, exactly.

They last two or three years and I throw them out as they wear out. Six briefs is my annual top up. They come in packs of six.

Fruit of the Loom men’s briefs.

I buy a six-pack from Walmart every year. I don’t think I’ve ever been so loyal to a brand.

But OP was asking about travelling the world. Sign language wouldn’t help with that.

Sign language isn’t one language. There’s American Sign Language, British Sign Language, Australian Sign Language, Nigerian Sign Language, etc.

American Sign Language and British Sign Language are completely unintelligible to each other.

That wasn’t the start of the thread. The start of the thread was my comment (which your comment was a response to). You were changing the topic.

Read the thread again. It started with voting or non voting.

No, it didn’t.

You’re explaining why you voted for Harris.

I’m asking why you deny that Biden is a genocidal white supremacist.

I didn’t say anything about voting or not voting.

You’re changing the topic.

So why are you defending Biden?

When the choice is fascism or no fascism you pick no fascism.

And how does that excuse Biden for genociding Gazan?

That’s not an explanation for what Biden is doing.

That’s an attempt to change the topic.

No, it’s Biden’s fault. Why are you trying to deflect blame away?

Just admit that you don’t care about Gazans.

Trump already won, no need to keep making excuse for democrats.

Now Palestinians will continue to suffer

And who’s fault is that?

You know, now that Biden has lost the election and no longer needs the support of AIPAC, there’s no reason for him to continue to allow Netanyahu to do this.

Biden could stop this all with a phone call. He could tell the US ambassador to the UN to stop vetoing Security Council resolutions about Israel.

But he won’t. Because it’s not about electability. The truth is that Biden supports what is happening in Gaza. He thinks the primitive barbaric Gazans are getting what they deserve for standing up to the noble white people who are trying to civilize them.

You know what that’s called? It’s called being a white supremacist.

Biden is a genocidal white supremacist, and I wish the Democrats would fucking admit it, but they won’t.

WHAT’S HIS EXCUSE NOW, DEMOCRATS? WHAT’S HIS EXCUSE NOW?

Genocide apologists, all of them. Scratch a liberal, find a white supremacist.

the election of Donald Trump triggered a chain of events that ceased scientific progress globally

This is hyperbolic.

There’s more to the world than the USA. And even during the first Dark Ages, scientific progress didn’t cease globally. Just in Europe.

There was quite a lot of progress in mathematics and science in the Middle East during the so-called Dark Ages.

They were young people who were gathered for a music concert.

Israel has compulsory military service for young people, so many of them were enlisted in the military. That doesn’t change the fact that they were young.

the powers that be (UK and US primarily) already have control of the area (still Mandatory Palestine), and a desire to maintain control of the area, they decide to give most of that land to the Jews and call it Israel.

Israel wasn’t created by the UK or the US (or the UN). Israelis declared the state of Israel themselves after seizing territory in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

The UN did have a plan to create an Israel in 1947, but that didn’t happen, because neither the Jews, the Arabs, nor the UK were on board.

but Israel doesn’t get to say they want to control the entire region?

What do you mean Israel doesn’t “get” to say that?

Israel does say that, and Israel does control the entire region, and almost every Western power allows them to.

I think a Two-State Solution would be a good idea (and I have opinions on exactly where the border should go), but it will have to be imposed on Israel by the international community.

Israel has never been sincere about a Two-State solution, and their “offers” to Palestine have been inadequate and unworkable, and the Palestinians have been right to reject them because there’s no point in accepting a deal that won’t lead to peace. Only a fair and workable deal can lead to peace.

Israel has demonstrated that they are an illegitimate state, because legitimate states do not bomb the stateless people living within their borders. At this point we should be treating Israel like Imperial Japan or Nazi Germany. The Israeli military should be placed under foreign control, and the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and Gaza returned to the Palestinians.

So far, the only thing stopping this from happening has been the United States’ support for Israel.

Israel needs to realize that the United States is rapidly declining in power, and if Israel doesn’t voluntarily cede the Palestinian territories, Israel might not exist at all in the near future.
