- Comment on ‘I blame Facebook’: Aaron Sorkin is writing a Social Network sequel for the post-Zuckerberg era 5 days ago:
It’s probably referring to the era past when Zuckerberg was an up-and-coming CEO and was still doing a bunch of new things. Now we’re in an arrow where he’s an establishment tech CEO. The stuff he does now is less about innovation and more about driving blind profits.

I’m a butt cheek, obviously. Math is a caustic substance and burns. You don’t want to get into “sensitive areas”. Snorting it is painful enough.

Both of them absolutely were. That’s not what I’m arguing here.

Well, then you’re welcome to prove that. I await your evidence to support your assertion.

It would be a logical fallacy to jump to such a conclusion without interviewing a randomly sampled and much larger population.
Except that it is. And I’ve told you that, several times.
It’s like you have ignored every comment I have made so far. For the idea of soldiers, there is a huge amount of pluralistic evidence to support this. And for the Wehrmacht soldiers, there is a huge amount of historical evidence that supports this, too.
You don’t wanna be convinced, you just wanna argue a single point and ignore anything that is contrary to it.
All of this information is very publicly available. Since you are so adverse to taking my word for it, go look at these facts up for yourself.

I already conceited that there are very likely, in fact, I’m sure of it, members of the IDF that are not their willingly and do not support its goals. The point I’m trying to make is that the proportion Idf soldiers that support Zionism is much higher than the number of supporters of Nazis in the Wehrmacht.
Many members of the Wehrmacht were fighting for Germany, not the Nazis. Every single member of the IDF, except for perhaps a few exceptions, are absolutely fighting for Zionism.

I didn’t just see one interview. It was dozens of interviews over the last 20 or so years. If it was just one piece, I would probably agree with you. And I’m sure there are members of the ideas who are not there willingly and do not support its goals.
But I have a preponderance of evidence which supports my position.
- Comment on [Video] BBC cuts away during pro-Palestine musicians Kneecap. The followup act Bob Vylan invents a new chant on live TV 1 week ago:
Probably. Oude like some further analysis on that, but I am definitely inclined to agree with you.
- Comment on [Video] BBC cuts away during pro-Palestine musicians Kneecap. The followup act Bob Vylan invents a new chant on live TV 1 week ago:
You know, at one point during this war, I thought, “they’re compelled to service, most of them probably don’t wanna be there, and we can’t hold them responsible for the orders of the state.”
Then I saw some interviews with some IDF soldiers. Then I saw more interviews. And it’s the same in recent interviews: they are happy to be there, and they absolutely love genocide Palestinians.
Fuck the IDF

- Comment on I'm not okay. 2 weeks ago:
I mentioned in another comment that it must’ve been 8 to 10 years ago when I was sitting in the backyard of some bar in Brooklyn, the middle of summer, that I saw the last one. And I was sitting with a bunch of friends, and I pointed out that it was the only one, and that this might be the last one any of us ever see.
Now I made myself sad
- Comment on I'm not okay. 2 weeks ago:
I’ve only ever seen them at sea level, in warm and humid places, usually during the middle to later months of the summer.
For context, I grew up in the 80s and 90s as a kid, and that’s when you used to see a lot of them. But ever since then, they become rare and rare. I knew that, eventually, they’d probably go extinct. I realize this back in the 90s or something.
If I really think about it, the last time I saw one might’ve been between eight and 10 years ago. And I only saw one. And I was sitting in the backyard of a bar in Brooklyn, during a very hot humid summer night after it had been raining, and I was sitting with a bunch of friends and then mentioned to them that this may be the last firefly you ever see.
I really am sad that was right

I don’t think my state of mind has anything to do with whether or not I see fireflies, but the times and places I go haven’t really changed over the last 15 to 20 years. The number of fireflies I see at those times and in those places, on the other hand, has dramatically changed.

They were everywhere when I was a kid. I haven’t seen one in years.
They were so delightful, and I miss them.
