In a hypothetical where there’s a murderer with a machine gun killing children that will not be prosecuted in court then wishing them to be dead is pretty reasonable if you want the killing to stop.
Not saying killing is moral or that people don’t have the right to live because they do but how else would you stop the murder if the government doesn’t?

If one side kills 100 for each one of their own killed there’s a big difference. Other factors to consider is when your land is blocked off from the outside world by land, sea and air and being routinely invaded. The Geneva convention says there is a right to resist occupation on top of that which Israel did sign.

- Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 1 week ago:
Kinda how they were “last man standing” in WW2. Everybody else got severely fucked and they won them over by with the Marshall aid program which got us to a bi-polar world with NATO in which the US was the hegemony.
After the fall of the Soviet Union and before the rise of China there was only one superpower that could act as such militarily and then US continued their power trip.
- Comment on when is "cool" fine and when is it rude? 1 week ago:
If it’s saying “cool” as an end to the conversation then it’s usually pretty rude. You need to show a bit of interest with a quick follow up like “how did you get it?” or “it took you a while?” and then ending the conversation is fine.

- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 2 weeks ago:
I’m on the opinion that marketing anything related to addiction is immoral and should be illegal. This includes cigarette, gambling, sugar, drugs (looking at you oxycontin), alcohol and even caffeine.
There is a backdoor into people’s brains that should not be used. Allow people go get their own coffee and sugar but don’t remind them it’s missing when they’re quitting.
(Coffee has been shown to be beneficial in reducing the overall death rate in adults when consuming something like 2+ cups a day so marketing it could be beneficial but the chance kids getting addicted to caffeine is something to avoid regardless.)

Not necessarily. The drivers in the kernel are already released and free to use and can be linked to as long as the software linking it retains the GNU license or can claim that it’s a separate service (such as an API or separately installed service) or it has to be installed afterwards like proprietary nvidia drivers.
Either way the source code is released and if the drivers want to retain the proprietary license they the community can make a way to download and compile the driver for the current OS after install. This will save a ridiculous amount of dev time and make Linux phone OS development much easier.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
We need some regulation that makes driver APIs and a linkable compiled version of drivers mandatory to be available upon request.

You are the most qualified person to diagnose yourself since you’re the only one that knows what happens on the inside which is where autistic symptoms predominantly are.
Neurotypicals lump themselves to early with autism and autistic people do it too late since they feel the criteria is very strict. Think NT saying “yes, I have autism because…” and autistic people say “no, I don’t because of…”.
Honestly, just take some tests and use them as a screening tool and take it from there. Good luck!

Running is in most cases good for knee health in the long term. It could be that you just need to take it slower to build up the knee strength.
Important: If you feel pain, stop and wait for it to recover.
- Comment on WTF is a rural town in the USA? 4 weeks ago:
The numbers are pretty funky depending on who you ask. City nerd on YouTube has a nice video on it how people view themselves as rural/urban and what city planners think of it.
You have a lot of people that identify as rural even though they live in exurbs (town adjacent to city) and a lot of people that live in remote areas identify as urban people.
I’d personally say that people that live in a urban/metro area are not rural. People who live on a farm 50km from the next population center of 1000 people is definitely rural. Everything between depends on a lot of factors like how big is the village, what is the village close to etc.

- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 1 month ago:
Patents have an expiry for a reason and the expiry date is pretty generous IMO. It’s thought as “Startup x can invent and make money off it but after it the market should take over so further improvements can be made.” Imagine if they patented CRISPR Cas9 or the first DNA sequencing method. It would limit science for the entire time of the expiry but not after.
Claiming invention patent for the pokeballs more than 20 years after the game came out is absurd. They can keep the brand, trademark and IP for their weirdly long time but innovations should become public so the market can continue innovating.
