Asking lemmy.ml if Israel is bad is not a great idea if you actually want a nuanced/balanced answer. Honestly, I'd recommend just taking your research elsewhere and steering clear of social media on this one.
I think the problem with that is you shouldn't judge either side by the numher of casualties they've committed but rather the casualties they would commit if they could. I legitimately think if Hamas could kill every last Jew in Israel with the push of a button they probably would. Or at least, every Jew that refused to leave the middle east.
Well for starters the meme is BS, check the other comments. Or just use common sense; there are plenty of traditional tribal societies around today, many of which are well documented. Have you EVER seen a woman from one of those communities hunting big game? I've been trying to think of one for the last 5 minutes and I can't. I'm sure it happens but not a single example comes to mind.
Similarly- when a person is hanging off a building or cliff by one arm, and holding something heavy or another person with the other. It requires an INSANE amount of strength to hold that position, let alone actually haul them back up.
Yeah I've read a bit about him. I know he wasn't a great guy. But history is complicated and so are people.
A sort-of close example might be Erwin R- you know what I'm going to stop myself right now because I'm in over my head and I'm about to wake up some hard-core ww2 historians with very strong opinions
Shiites and Sunnis have been fighting each other for the last 1400 years
There are plenty of places you're not allowed to walk for your own safety and the safety of others. It's not a crazy concept, although I do think that jaywalking should be legal
I'm with you, I like sex scenes, sometimes because they represent a satisfying conclusion to a narrative arc but also because sometimes they are just pleasing to look at. Personally I don't buy the argument that hard-core pornography makes them irrelevant. Have people stopped taking photos of shirtless guys and women in bikinis? No, of course not. The internet is still chock-full of photos and art of this content.
Sex scenes and action scenes dont necessarily "bloat" movies if they are fun to watch. That's the whole point, right? To be entertained?
And I hope you never used dial-up internet! That is NOT what phone lines are for.
Yeah it really is choosing beggars. If you don't want to look at ads to view content you should pay for it.
Who gets to collect revenue from the fees though? Where do you draw the line, are you cutting off independent journalism?
Yeah but that won't help you if your password gets stolen somehow and someone is trying to log in from India or something
There's plenty of precedent for that though. HSA money, personal mobile device usage, credit for using mass transit... they are compensating specific things. Food is a bit odd to be honest; I'm not sure why they don't just pay you cash.
Yeah I remember getting in argument with someone who suggested violence/intimidation against everyone who committed the crime of...wait for it... driving a Cybertruck
Whoa that's fucking dark. I'm a very strong Ukraine supporter but the dehumanization of Russian soldiers is disturbing.
