True dat

This is a very simplistic take on a very complex situation. I have friends in Tel Aviv, I've visited their homes. Some were raised very orthodox jew in Jerusalem, didn't even have internet most of their lives. I've been to the Western Wall and seen the Jewish people praying, while the Muslims watch outside the gate (they each have their own time they can go in).

Talking with all my friends, the answer is always "it's complicated". It's only religion so far as "we want to occupy the same space". It kickstarted it, but that could have been anything -- oil, water, ports, whatever. But since it turned to land, it became very politically motivated. Who can powerful countries ally with for key tactical military presence? For the people living there, how can I feel more safe?

I'm kind of rambling, but there's way too much to talk about in just a comment. But yea, the answer is that it's very complicated.

This isn't about religion, at least not anymore. Palestinians have been oppressed by Israelis because they want the land. Palestinians want Israel dead because they've been oppressed and marginalized.

I live in an area where parents are pretty much like Zucks parents, both parents are typically professionals and lifestyle is generally middle class. I dont see any kid here growing up to be zuck. But i agree they have a better chance than some kid in the projects

But I was just pointing out that it's a far cry for Zucks situation (good education, stable home) vs Trumps (here's hundreds of millions of dollars, do whatever you want)

Lol Zucks dad was a dentist, and his mom was a psychiatrist. Yes they were more wealthy than a majority of Americans, but I wouldn't call them an inaccessible "wealthy" like Musk or Trump. They were living a comfortable middle class lifestyle.

Edit: downvoters should prove me wrong, I'm totally up for learning information I didn't know about.

Why do we need to do it around a planet? Origin of Halo confirmed

Hey man, it provided value to my life... its a fun game, i play it quite a bit. Plus half of that was for my kid, he would ask for vbucks every birthday and Christmas for years.

I spent about $600 with epic. All of that was on fortnite skins. None of it on games.

Legislation is stopping them, hence increasing upfront cost to offset

Damn, I went from $50k net worth in 2010 to $3m today on Mint. End of an era. Not sure where to go next

He didn't forget the quote, he realized he was going to say "shame on me" and didn't want to be quoted as saying "shame on me" so was trying to think of something else to say

This is absolutely not a religious war. I understand why you say that. But if it were, Muslim countries would come to the aid of Palestinians. But there's a reason Egypt is standing still. And it's not religion.

I can't drink coffee after like 2pm either. Sugar or other carbs before bed can also impact my sleep quality

Equator Coffee for life!

Its a war I don't know what the fuck you want

I got temp banned from lemmy.ml for saying that. Basically said "except Ukraine didn't attack Russia first", then got the banhammer. A quick Google on their point (cant even remember what it was) and I knew it was bullshit. I blocked lemmy.ml right after

Did you see the early days, or even as reddit was "maturing"? Shit went down every other day

They'll either evil or incompetent. Neither of which I want on my computer

I just resubbed for Fall of the House of Usher. I'll watch that and the new Adam Sandler, then will unsub again. I have no problem with paying for things that provide value, but its stupid to keep paying if I'm not going to use it

I wish I could have a sky burial but I'm pretty sure theres nowhere in the US that could happen. And it would freak my wife out. I think the best option is aquamation (or hopefully recomposting since it was just legalized in california), since I can't have a sky burial
