Don't ruin your own experience because someone else is enjoying it differently than you like to

That's helpful information, they both look like they've got good pedigrees. I'm a bit surprised that none of the normal fact and bias checker sites have anything for Drop Site.

I don't quite understand the down votes here: Israel is a topic with lots of strong opinions, and basic good media literacy is to do research on sources you don't recognize. There's been a lot of shoddy journalism to get clicks out there, and one should be critical of the information they ingest. The Ground News bot is a good thing.

I'm having trouble finding any kind of credibility grading for this source

If those ~25 Lemmy users could read they'd be very upset

Pretty sure you just attacked someone for agreeing with you.

Excuse me if I don't trust the infallibility of the foreign policy platform of a person who falls back to ad hominem attacks after reading 3 sentences, and failing to grasp their meaning

Oh dang u right, it ain't nuanced, my b

And what happens when Egypt starts thinking Israel looks weak? Let them use Gaza as a reason to attack? I'm very against what Israel is doing, but this is very reductive. It's foolish to think that peace in the middle east is not a nuanced subject

Well, this is an American election? There's only so much one president can do about the actions of another sovereign nation. In fact, a lot of progressives wish the US would do less

This whole discourse reminds me of some pro-Bush Jr. Family members who were complaining during those elections that the fiscal plan they liked (which caused the crash in 2008, but whatever) had been tied to trying to appease the single issue voters who cared about limiting abortion and LGBTQIA+ rights. This all or noting stance about Gaza feels just as singularly focused as those wingnuts.

A lot of fridges are made to go both ways. You have to attach the handle and the hinge when you get it. A lot of fridges will have two plugs on the other side to cover the unused bolt holes

Yeah, this sounds like a good prank: it messes with their muscle memory, but it's otherwise harmless

The lawyer wants to travel in this case, not Trump himself.

If that happens, I would say that's an exception to every accusation being a confession

That assumes that things haven't changed, and that Trump doesn't represent the backlash to that change. The Dems don't change things as fast as you would like, but why is back pedaling better than that? I swear, this whole line of reasoning sounds like some astroturfing movement to get liberals to skip the election. The republicans only win when voter counts are low. You are talking like you want Trump to win.

There is no room for these things to be a topic of conversation if Trump wins. This way of thinking has no path to resolving the problem.

Man, any narrative that avoids talking about gun control

Or if the plot had been to assassinate a journalist

Oh, look, an antisemitic dog whistle and a complaint about people pushing an ideology. In one sentence? That's fun.

I got here too late, and ngl, I feel like I missed a joke I would have liked.
