The PLO and Fatah both recognise the state of Israel and its right to exist, have given up armed struggle, and signed the Oslo Accords with Israel, accepting a peaceful political pathway to a two state solution.

I don't think he's completely wrong. A lot of people felt similarly. I know SkillUp felt similarly that if you had a really good PC and could overlook the (unforgiveable, admittedly) bugs, it had a lot going for it.
Definitely. About two years ago, I read Michel Houellebecq's Soumission. And it's still just sort of constantly in my head. I don't read it as a kind of reactionary book at all – in fact it's a strangely utopian book, pessimistic about the possibility of secular politics to rectify deep metaphysical questions in our societies, but strangely curious and probing about whether Islam could in fact at least answer them. The ambiguity at the heart of that novel still puzzles and interests me.
I should read it again...
I've been going back and reading Freud's Civilisation and its Discontents again. I still think it has some pretty profound wisdom about the nature of desire, conflict, violence, and what it takes to make civilisation possible!
I maybe got like 10-15 hours into it? I quite liked it but it felt underbaked in many areas. I'm curious to see just how expansive the improvements to basic core gameplay systems are in the final product here. Because graphically and narratively, I felt they had something pretty special.
Yeah doesn't work in comments either. I tried Firefox on my Mac too which had never even browsed to this website before, signed in, tried to upload a picture to my /c/Books sub, same error. Tried to reply to this comment with a picture, nope, same error.
Strange, may be the implementation? I've tried using both Chrome and Brave
That was fast! Layout seems to have changed a little bit, but in mostly subtle ways.
But now I can't seem to upload an icon to my /c/books community, I get a JSON error. Should I try deleting site data from my browser and refreshing?
Specific error message:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', "<html> <h"... is not valid JSON
Similar errors when I attempt to update the sidebar.
What is the ideal resolution for a community banner so as not to unnecessarily 'weigh it down' with a super high-resolution image?
