If there was a superhero called Super-Autist, what would be his superpowers?
  • It's a very dumb joke , making fun of a dumb tv show call the good doctor. The writers decided to write a show about a young autistic surgeon, and also decided that his only personality trait would be being a surgeon. There is a scene where he is fired, has a mental breakdown and keeps yelling " I am a surgeon".

    Mostly a dumb joke, making fun of writers who wrote the main character of a show based solely of one idea, with no character at all.

  • Sheet
  • There are not two sides, they are the same one side. Not super clear from the picture, but there is a twist that connects the "front" of one side to the "back" of the other .

  • NY bill would require a criminal history background check for the purchase of a 3D printer
  • I think it's stupider than that. They have no idea how a handmade gun could be built without a 3d printer. They probably have zero clue what a 3d printer actually can and cannot do, and I'd bet most politicians have never seen one or bothered to understand it before regulating it. Their sole exposure is a few loud people who also do not understand anything about guns or 3d printers, and confuse that lack of understanding with definitive proof that it is evil and should be banned.

  • As a reminder...
  • Two points. You are incorrectly using the term nazi to mean evil. That is not what the word means. What would you call evil before the 1900s? I will not disagree that Israel is in someways evil, but nazi is not the word used in English for evil, as you are using it.

    Secondly, I grew up and lived in Gaza. It is not a concentration camp, or an extermination center. It is a warzone. It is groups of people fighting over their territory.

    We probably roughly agree on what facistm is, and that both the Nazis and Israel are fascist. However, the word for a fascist authority is not nazi. It is fascist authority. Do you understand that yet? It is like calling all apples granny smith, and then getting aggressive when someone tells you to call them apples, and that some apples are not granny smith apples, despite all apples having some similar properties to granny smith apples.

  • I cannot speak for them, but it is very different to not want a foreigner who is not from your religion to date a Muslim, than it is to want to kill all Jews. Of course, it is very bad to take it to the level of a beating, or to make that choice for someone else, and what they did is bad. What I often see is a few zelots in a groups of people who don't care for Jews, but don't want to kill them. It is very difficult to stand for a stranger who is outside your culture, and defend them, without being labeled as an enemy of your own culture. My father was clear to us that Jews were not evil because they are Jews, just as Muslims are not all good because of their religion. He was friends with a small family of Jews living in Gaza near us. I do not think he would want me to date them, but he was happy that we could be friends.

  • Yes, if you discuss complex things with the depth of understanding of a six year old, call everything evil a Nazi, and don't understand that the world is not made up of pure , good people and Nazis, I bet you get to fill out a lot of imaginary bingo cards , since those get to work by your made up rules. The real world does not.

  • As a reminder...
  • You do know that people being evil or fascist predated the Nazis, often has different motivationions than the Nazis, and are sometimes done by people who have huge disagreements with Nazis right? Many of them predate the nazis, are unaffiliated with them, and were persucuted by them. Your argument is literally that everyone bad is a Nazi. Re read your response if you think I am not representing you fairly, because that is exactly what you say. By no means am I giving Israel or anyone else a pass for being evil. I am also not giving nazis a free las for being evil. I think to understand why Israel is evil, what exactly are doing, and how the world should deal with them, you need to understand some very basic things they are not.

    They are not dragons, despite them killing others in order to enrich themselves. They are not UFOs, despite flying around in secret missions and kidnapping people. They are not Nazis, despite being fascist and trying to rid their land of non jews. Just because nazis are bad, and Israel is bad, does not mean they are the same thing. People act evil for many different reasons, some of which are similar to each other. Israel is not as similar to nazis as your over simplified troll logic would like them to be.

  • Israeli strikes flatten buildings, mosques in Gaza
  • Yes, of course. If the two most powerful groups in your area are both acting like terrorist organizations, and one wants to kill you, and the other want to kill them, few people are going to dare to question Hamas. Hamas does nothing to help us, and nothing to better owr lives.

  • Israeli strikes flatten buildings, mosques in Gaza
  • Hamas is far more anti Israel than pro Gaza. Yes, Israel is anti Gaza, but Hamas does not represent what we want, or the waymost of us in Gaza want Israel or Jews to be treated. They are not freedom fighters, they are terrorists who have the same enemy as us.

  • As a reminder...
  • I think you overestimate how many Palestinians believe this. I'm my family in gaza, we had Jewish friends. My father was best friends with a jew for many years. So many of us just want to live in peace, alongside people who do not want to kill us. Yes, there are a few zealots who believe this, and many leaders base their power directly on their bloodlust for Israel. Most of them hate Israel and their actions more than thier religion. I know Israel is much the same to us. If everyone who truly believes this died in one night, there would be no mourning for them, and a great cry of peace and relief would reach to the heavens, saying " let God sort out religions when we die, and not people sort out when we die by religion ".

  • As a reminder...
  • No. Nazi means national German socialism workers party, which was a german political party that did some notable things, like starting WW2, the Holocaust. You may want to look them up, the history is interesting.

    Two things being similar does not mean they are the same thing. Is every end stage cancer pancreatic cancer to you? Is every war just the great war to you ( I know you have not heard of WW2 yet).

    If you cannot understand that nazi actually is a word with meaning, and not just something you say when you think a group is authoritarian or evil, than you have absolutely no room in you brain for the slightest glimmer of nuance or basic comprehension of anything.

  • Zelensky: Israel has ‘indisputable’ right to defend itself from terror
  • Yes. Defend, not subjugate and wage and endless war on every non jew they can reach, untill they breed the next wave of violent opposition to themselves. Israel will surely continue it's impeccable record on this, and handle the civilians lives with decency and honor. I agree, Israel has a right to defend itself from terror.

  • As a reminder...
  • Is nazi the only word you have for a authoritarian and militant group? I have no love for Israel, but I have less love for your limited vocab. As a immigrant who learned English in his 20s, I know that two groups can both be bad without being the same group.

  • As a reminder...
  • I've always been a fan of just making the middle east one giant country, and divide it into thousands of districts, which get representation in the central area( which can definitely not be anywhere important.) This would require Israel and many countries to come together and prefer diplomacy to slaughter though, so it will never happen.

  • New to America USA, how do you socialize and meet new people?

    I recently moved to the USA, from the middle east. My English is pretty good, and I don't have a lot of trouble communicating with people at work or in stores. I also don't know anyone here at all, outside of work. All my family is still back in Gaza, and I've been here over a year now, and still feel cut off from American people and culture.

    How do you make friends and socialize here? How do I learn more about America and Americans culture? I know a bit about history, but not much about anything else. I don't drink or go to bars, for religious reasons. I have joined a couple of clubs based on hobbies, but still feel disconnected. I'm not sure how you socialize or meet new people here, in my family everyone came around your house all the times of the day, and here it seems like neighbors just stick to themselves. I don't want to bug people or anoy them if that is not the customs here.

    Also, what are your favorite parts of American culture and history? So far I have enjoyed Nascar and monster trucks very much, and studying mathematics.
