  • This is a terrific comment! Why didn’t you provide all that information in the original post? It was so extremely misleading that my skepticism meter maxed out.

    Thank you for providing all the background information with sources. Because your original post asserted journalists were murdered, then mentions Aaron Bushnell without any further context, it suggests that IDF murdered him. I believe I’ve made myself clear in my original comment that this is very misleading. I’ve also pointed out that the linked content from that original post is not adequately sourced.

    Now that you have taken the time to provide more details about the story, I understand that this is just a misunderstanding due missing context in the original post.

    Like I said, I’m sympathetic towards the cause. Reading back my comments, I don’t believe I “said stupid shit,” am “too much in denial” or am “brainwashed by some zionist indoctrination.” I encourage everybody to have a healthy dose of skepticism but don’t appreciate your hostility and wild accusations.

    (I’m interested to learn about that gig to earn money by saying stupid shit, though.)









  • This really speaks volumes to how little people care about where their food comes from.

    The amount of meat, for example, that is just thrown away sickens me. As if it’s not bad enough that we farm animals in deplorable conditions, we kill them so they can be thrown straight into the trash.

    Sometimes, when I am reminded of the plague our species is upon this planet, I just can’t care about keeping homo sapiens sapiens from going extinct.



  • Back in February, I took a Waymo for the first time and was at first amazed. But then in the middle of an empty four lane road, it abruptly slammed the brakes, twice. There was literally nothing in the road, no cars and because it was raining, no pedestrians within sight.

    If I had been holding a drink, it would have spelled disaster.

    After the second abrupt stop, I was bracing for more for the remainder of the ride, even though the car generally goes quite slow most of the time. It also made a strange habit of drifting between lanes through intersections and using the turning indicators like it had no idea what it was doing—it kept alternating went from left to right.

    Honestly it felt like being in the car with a first time driver.






  • Perhaps you’ve not visited this place, so for an impression: the area itself is very large and open and the site has restricted access with a fairly pricey admission fee.

    Voices don’t carry very far in this environment, however the issue is that there are literally hundreds if not close to a thousand vendors literally screaming for attention. My objection is to the authorities who have permitted this kind of presence at a heritage site. Of course locals have taken advantage of the situation, that much is very clear.
