Nope, definitely not - which is why I’m not a free speech absolutist. Let those instances sit on an island by themselves.

I mean Russia is pretty close to needing to pick a side.

Exposure to other viewpoints is good. No need to debate. And if you’re on a large instance, you’ll see that. Not everyone thinks alike, there are shades of gray. Discussion is allowed to happen but intolerance isn’t tolerated.

The tankie instances ban anyone for even asking questions politely that they don’t agree with. It’s a total monoculture and I assume they’re mostly still kids, because everything is black and white and can be solved without any nuance at all.

Awesome. The north east corridor should have more trains.

This doesn’t seem particularly internally consistent.

If the ME doesn’t matter because hydrocarbons don’t matter, why are Russia and China bound by them? Isn’t Russia in even deeper trouble since most of their hard currency is from exporting hydrocarbons?

When is the world being more destabilized than today and by who? Is the world stable right now?

Who is the financial outlook fragile for?

What are the impacts of climate change and demographics over the next decade?

How does this disproportionately work to the detriment of Israel?

I’m not even saying you’re wrong, but there’s a lot missing connecting this to the point you’re trying to make I think.

Which are the poles you see in this multipolar world than were different from the poles over the last 50 years?

Time will tell.

You’re right that both sides have been awful.

While Israel may be led by a group of religious extremists, so is Palestine and Gaza specifically by extremist terrorists.

This round of tit for tat will echo like all the previous rounds over the last 70 years.

Until Hamas frees the hostages, it’s virtually impossible to overplay the hand.

This will just be another footnote of ugly killing on both sides in a long history of ugly killings.

The government of Gaza is Hamas, elected in 2007.

Israeli civilians have also been caught in the crossfire. You know from the terrorist attack they committed 3 weeks ago that killed 1,400 and then the 200 innocent people they kidnapped and imprisoned as hostages somewhere in Gaza, which is what this is all about?

If Hamas freed the hostages, Israel would have a much harder time conducting this war in the way they are, but you can’t literally kidnap someone’s citizens and expect anything less.

How about Hamas? You seem to be willing to give them a free pass while they still have 200 hostages somewhere in a bunker or tunnel?

What kind of bullshit is this. Any Israeli citizen can say this and worse. Don’t be melodramatic.

I am sure Hamas could find the time to kill one more person in their busy schedule.

Do you have sources for this?

Well, given that the reason Gaza is occupied is because of the terrorist groups, I think order of operations is somewhat disputed.

This is 70 years of tit for tat. My point is that both parties here are wrong.

There is no good or bad guy, just two bad guys.

Cute. I would encourage you to go attend a pride parade in Gaza or the West Bank and let me know how it goes.

Leopards and faces.

The West Bank is free from terrorist groups? 🤯

Have you considered that if Gaza didn’t have terrorist groups they might a functioning society and government?

Cinemax has always been owned by HBO. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinemax

I think both those things are too extreme. Maybe not every season, especially with short seasons now, but certainly they’ve earned more than one based on execution for both.

The crossover episode was great and the musical was superb, I thought. I don’t want that every episode, but I could handle once a season, but one every other is probably better.

defederation from some of the insane ones is good. I’m not a free speech absolutist by any stretch, but most of the communities on lemmy.ml ban any posts/comments that disagree with their worldview. They don’t even try to be a place for polite discussion.

Intolerance does not deserve tolerance.

He mostly made rich people a lot of money. They are probably up overall on FTX.

I would bet most of the employees they want aren’t the ones they let go, but probably a lot more who went somewhere else of their own volition.

Lots of good employees leave because even with a great boss, if your boss isn’t getting promoted, you might not have a path for promotion without lateraling into something you don’t like, with new people and new relationships who might be worse.

If you’re going to do all that, you might just do it in a new company.

It’s always easier for companies to richly reward new hires vs existing employees.
