I’ll take a stab at it. Without trying to wish away things that can’t be wished for.
Transition the administration of the contested area (mandatory Palestine basically) over to a secular representative government. With peacekeeping provided by the UN. The secular government should be completely separate from any religion, but have the right to religion as part of the Constitution.
Encourage massive economic integration between the different ethnic populations. There will be civil turmoil for quite a while, but we’re winning slowly, demonstrating the people the future is better together. It’ll probably take two or three generations until things settle down. So we’re looking at an occupying force for 40 to 60 years.
To add legitimacy to this government, they should have a truth and reconciliation panel covering and forgiving all of the crimes of the past, they should objectively, and harshly come down on any land crimes, hate crimes, religious persecution, religious exclusion, that happens inside the country.

If we stop talking about her, she stops winning. Maybe she could spend her new found free time to actually write instead of being on social media.
- Comment on JK Rowling prefers two years in jail over using correct pronouns 1 year ago:
It’s almost like people are looking for a reason to talk about how much they hate JKR, and in turn promote her.
The Streisand effect is in full display here.
Everytime people bring out the three minute hate drum, the righteous come around and sneer, so there is a echo chamber, but there’s always somebody new, somebody who’s never been introduced to the debate before, who now pays attention to this person… And they might end up agreeing with this person.
So giving all this attention to one person over and over again, is creating them more converts than it’s costing them. It’s just promoting the personality at this point. It’d be more effective to ignore them, and just promote your own viewpoint. There wouldn’t be any controversy, there wouldn’t be free media attention…

Because she has asserted the right to spaces for biological women only, such as domestic abuse shelters and sex-segregated prisons. Because she has insisted that when it comes to determining a person’s legal gender status, self-declared gender identity is insufficient. Because she has expressed skepticism about phrases like “people who menstruate” in reference to biological women. Because she has defended herself and, far more important, supported others, including detransitioners and feminist scholars, who have come under attack from trans activists. And because she followed on Twitter and praised some of the work of Magdalen Berns, a lesbian feminist who had made incendiary comments about transgender people.

The other communities have rules, so you have to be careful about what you post, but here we can just talk about anything. So I don’t subscribe to the strict ones, I just subscribe to the fun one.

I did care about Kira going from a terrorist to a government security officer and the struggles she had with the different world view approaches.

“None of you belonged on Bajor. It wasn’t your world. For fifty years you raped our planet, and you killed our people. You lived on our land, and you took the food out of our mouths, and I don’t care whether you held a phaser in your hand or you ironed shirts for a living. You were all guilty and you were all legitimate targets!” “That’s what makes you a murderer. Indiscriminate killing… no sense of morality… no thought given to the consequences of your action. That’s what makes us different.” “I was a soldier! You’re just a bitter old man out for revenge.” “I am bringing the guilty to justice. And unlike you, I take care to protect the innocent.”

I got super invested in emotions of Bajor… mostly the emotion was seething hate of Kai Winn… Space Karen made me feel hate more then I ever felt hate in a TV show.

As somebody who routinely checks their window services looking for rogue applications adding yet another background service. It’s not cool. I don’t expect my browser to have a background service. Chrome has a background service updater and Windows. That’s terrible too.

- Comment on How can I become a better conversationalist? 1 year ago:
When in doubt ask questions. Try to actively listen to what people are saying, think about what they’re saying, and just ask any questions that pop up in your head. People love to talk about what they’re passionate about, especially questions, it shows you’re engaged. You don’t have to have any original idea or contribute anything, just a series of questions. At the end of the conversation the other party will feel like oh I had a great conversation, even though you didn’t contribute or volunteer any information. You especially see this in diplomats and negotiators, they don’t need to tell you anything about themselves, they just need you to feel good about talking to them.
So just listen for a bit, when somebody mentioned something think about it, start asking questions. You don’t have to provide any anecdote on your own to have a successful conversation.

I also just want to filter Post to have human comments on them. I don’t care if bots are posting, I only want to see human comments.
Best of both worlds, if somebody wants to talk about a bug post great I’ll join the conversation. But I’m not interested in reading bots posting bots posting bots posting bots posting bots summarizing bots
- Comment on 22 Democrats Sponsor a Bill That Could Censor Abortion Info From the Internet 1 year ago:
Creating a censorship apparatus is dangerous, because the person who gets to decide what gets censored has lots of power, and power corrupt over time.
And what might be considered flagrant propaganda to one party, might seem just like political spin to another party.
I think we’re all better off if we let people say what they say, and then evaluate the individuals by their words, rather than by approved content. I don’t see any sustainable way of approving content that doesn’t introduce bias and censorship unduly

- Comment on Now that the Middle East conflict is back. Was wondering why they call them settlements instead of towns? 1 year ago:
I read the news where KSA and Israel were going to normalize relations in exchange for US military aid in Yemen which would threated Iran’s power broker status and it became urgent to derail such a detant.
The fact KSA was even willing to entertain such an agreement is because the Palestine apartheid hadn’t been getting global coverage for a few news cycles.
It’s not that the situation disappeared, but the conversation was not talking about the situation, making it politically palatable to put it on the back burner to ignore it. At the global level

- Comment on Browsers compared 1 year ago:
Using TOR Browser does allow you to bypass Cloudflare browser checks, but this is likely because they work together to help Cloudflare spy on people wanting to be anonymous, making TOR Browser a honeypot. This is further supported by the fact that the TOR Project deleted a ticket criticizing Cloudflare (MozArchive) - but left all other tickets alone, proving it was not because of a “pedophile attack”, like they claimed. I see no reason to use this browser, really, when PM can be configured to use TOR all the same, with all the other advantages.

One woman, in an entire lifetime, can have maybe 30 children. There are currently 7 billion people on the planet. 7 billion - 30, is basically 7 billion. They are more people with different mothers than people with the same mother
- Comment on Unmoderated internet should be banned 1 year ago:
Not many people share the same mother, so that means every mother has to moderate the internet for everybody? Or one specific mother gets to moderate the internet? How is it scalable?
