ABSOLUTELY! I do want to clarify that when I say that I question how severe it is, I don't mean to minimalize it.

ADL has pretty consistently exaggerated numbers. So when I see 4000% increase, I don't believe it. They absolutely include Israeli government criticisms.

But I do expect that there's extreme increases, in the same way there has been increases in Islamophobia. Probably more. The incidents are real and cannot be ignored.

I just do not trust what the news is putting out when it relies on subjective information or an outside source. This has honestly been the sloppiest news I've witnessed in my life.

I've seen a lot of reporting on antisemitism increasing. And I'm sure it is. But shit like this and the fact that I've seen ADL referenced twice now makes me really question how severe it is.

So do I. Why? Because I can.

On the colonial state part. My interpretation of the statement was support for their right to exist, not the support for taking more Palestinian land or the method they used to do so by emigrating residents into their population.

But honestly either way, I think there are so many shit opinions, and so many biases from so many different sources, and so much misinformation, it's justified to give people a bit of slack on the subject regardless. Kicking someone out of a support group for a post like that is cruel.

Before reading the article, their comment definitely made it sound like ADL was making these claims. Though I definitely understand criticizing the reference to ADL.

Yeah, I do love Morrowind. It's one of my favorite games of all time. But I'm putting Skyrim, FO3, and FONV above Oblivion easily.

checks which game is "best"

This list is 100% accurate.

I don't think it's for people planning on buying the disc drive. But it's a nice way to avoid FOMO for anyone that doesn't want to get locked out of discs forever (without buying a whole new console).

Plus, for people looking to save some money, it could be an opportunistic purchase if they find it for cheap later.

Hasn't every other generation come with a price decrease and a bigger size reduction? This seems like it's really just a new model.

The biggest upgrade is the SSD size. But digital is getting more expensive (but also has the disc drive option). Seems like it's just not enough upside for anyone to get excited over compared to previous generations.

Infinite made me not care about the franchise. Which is impressive because I loved the franchise.

The OP clearly crossed from "acceptable" civilian casualties to actively rooting for civilian casualties. In this case the mods would be justified blocking them.

But I'm also happy to see that overall they're not voted up.

Thanks. Yeah, World News is just News. So I was a bit confused. I assume they were talking about the evacuation post. It looks like the OP is making a lot of inflammatory comments there and in other posts. But most of them aren't voted on and not very visible.

I think the issue might be wanting the mods to weed out some of these types. At one point they're even warmongering a bit. But the rest of the conversation seems overall fine.

Which post? There's the evacuation one on c/news on Beehaw which got a bit heated. It has a couple of bad faith comments by the OP. But even then most of the discussion seems to be good faith, even when they're strongly disagreeing.

I don't see a world news community on Beehaw. Just news and USnews. Do you mind sharing the post or the community+server?

(Also for the record, I use Connect. But I don't know if it makes a difference.)

I think most longer discussions are like that regardless. But most conversations that I have seen have been short and informative. Especially now that people have been able to process a bit.

No, I think the response has been very level headed conversation actually. There's been a lot of focus on Israel simply because of the absolute support they initially got. But I think the discussions have been productive.

I don't know why you think their values are fake. I would also panic if it was going to destroy my life. It ain't worth it.

I had no idea. I think that pretty much explains the confusion then.

Why does it feel like every remake messes with lighting? As if making things brighter means it looks better. Halo CE is another that gets blasted for ruining the anesthetic of the original.

When I was a kid, it wasn't entirely uncommon to get a big gift during a random holiday get-together.

But I think "holidays" is more of a generic retail term used to get people to buy more and feel less limited.
