  • I mean if they want to get government to do something... Storm actual government and protest there. These were weak and "safe' protest alternatives that don't actually help a cause and actively turns many people against it.

    If you feel your government is not responding well the message should be made to government. Not your fellow citizen trying to get to work or in this case visit sick family.

  • Most of these people are over paid actually. Making without stock over 150k and then around the same in RSUs or more.

    The issue is many folks were only doing like 3 or 4 hr a day and then double dipped to collect another paycheck because they had the time to. I don't necessarily fault them.

    Friend of mine intentionally took a boring bank job making like 50k less than he was making (so around $125k a yr) so he could coast as a high performer there then planned and did find another gig in Pacific time (were east Coast) and then pulled two checks and still only worked like 42 hr a week.

    This is the true reason there making work from home optional.

  • Israel is defending itself as well. They just have a better counter attack success rate. Or did we forget that Ukraine also wants to bomb Moscow etc. (and has launched drones etc).

    The key difference is one is a gov one is a terror org who represents their gov.

  • I mean after what happened it's going to turn a lot of people dark. No different than in the states after 9/11. I legit know people that signed up just to "kill some sand you know what's to get pay back". That's fucked up yes. And wrong. But hardly unexpected just like I expect citizens of Gaza to enmase celebrate the death of Jews now.

  • This is news because she was one of the first videos that went viral that day. And to this day there are still people denying it that she died and that she is home safe. There was even a so called interview with her mother who said she was alive. They even went so far to say the truck video was them bringing her to a hospital (ya know because you beat half naked in her underwear body with your sandals to administer first aid).

    The Internet used "her being alive" as one of the first propaganda pieces to try to paint the photo that nothing happened Oct 7 and Israel are all liars.

    Turns out it's exactly as the videos made it look. Just like the woman being led into a jeep with dark drried blood all over the ass of her pants was probably bleeding from mass rape even though the Internet tried to find every excuse for their behaviors.

  • Let's go with that. Even though it's twisted logic.

    If Israel is a terrorist state that still means that Hamas is going after non government officials and it is still wrong. Unless you buy into the logic that the citizens of Israel are guilty as well as they should have done something to stop the so called terrorist state actions. Sure. Let's go with that. By that logic, so are the citizens of Gaza and thus nothing is fucked up as they are all guilty.

    Or the more likely, the guys shooting rockets daily made out of supplies from foreign aid money and keeping basic supplies from their citizens are actually bad guys and terrible people and their propaganda is bullshit.

    It all falls apart when you look at the differences. Israel even if it's selfish government reasons to do it have been taking care to protect it's citizens where it can. Hamas however has rejected multiple peace attempts, broken the cease fires nearly every time, and keeps supplies from their citizens then goes on the internet posting about how their hospitals have no fuel when they have a huge stockpile.

    Even if they are oppressed and colonized people who are only being freedom fighters (they aren't). Under zero context there's no reason to side with them other than some narrow sense of virtue signalling .

    If they were going full Arab spring and trying to regain their freedom maybe, but they are literally out there in the streets spitting on the corpses of women. Everywhere. And I'm sure some Israeli would do the same because they are fucked up too. But not at this scale.

  • Yes but most tech jobs are in cities where commuting by vehicle is not preferable. Maybe some Seattle or Bellevue offices break the norm but the majority are in NYC Manhattan or some part of San Fran or Palo Alto. Driving in those are a bit nuts.

    Example I'm in NYC and even pre pandemic it was way faster for me to commute by train than car.

  • Hamas are the terrorists preventing citizens from fleeing and using them as shields. They are at fault. Israel is not targeting civilians they are targeting Hamas outposts which Hamas purposefully puts in civilian zones hoping for protection.

    Hamas literally wants to wipe all Jewish people from existence and started to do so. So far every one of the stories of what Hamas did to the Jewish folks has turned out to be true. Most of the Hamas ones have turned out to be bs.

    Let's be clear. Jews haven't lived in Gaza since 2005. Gaza was given millions and millions of dollars in aid and supplies since. Instead of building a flourishing society, they built tunnels, bombs, and shoot rockets daily at Israel trying to kill Jews even though they don't live in Gaza. There are no "colonizing settlers" for nearly 2 decades.

    Enough is enough. Peace is not an option here it's just a blanket that the bad guys use (and break the treaties for) all the time just to get a reprieve when sht gets real.

  • Because the neighboring countries did that in the past in various forms and it fucked them all up in some manner. These are not normal people. They're twisted by decades of living under war or terrorist rule. Their population is so young because everyone old died that half the people alive never actually experienced a stable life. They know nothing but this. As a result they are really hard to integrate.
