I've still got plenty of friends who support Israel over here in the states, including basically everyone conservative I know.

I'm so glad to see other people mention this because damn that sub has been wild lately.

Look at you living your best life!

This is too cute lol

For what it's worth, I think this one is more fun than the first one. Or most recent Marvel movies except for Guardians of the Galaxy 3. And I haven't even seen Miss Marvel.

Sounds like Beehaw =)

Because it sometimes links easier in kbin:

Actually they kept a lot of benefits given during the Revolution, even during Napoleon. Nobles become taxable, the third estate (the common people) got a political voice, clergy lost a lot of power, military positions became more awarded by merit than nepotism, wealth, or nobility, laws were equalized and started applying more to everyone, the press became more free, spending became focused on the public, and more. There was a reason Beethoven was writing a song for him, up until he crowned himself Emperor. Until then, he was a representative of a mostly beneficial revolution. And yes, that crowning and obsession with war was an unfortunate move, but a lot of the changes stuck for awhile even after those bag parts lol. Even when the monarchy returned after Napoleon, they were scared of rolling back too much of the people's gains for fear of starting another revolution.

Point is, they had an emperor and then some kings again, but comparing life before and after for the average French man, after was a marked improvement. The Revolution did work, to a point. I think the lesson more is that with every progressive gains, there will always be a conservative reaction people need to be aware of. The old power structure will always try to regain what they had before. It's not too give up and ask for scraps from the people in power.

Or imagine politicians like Trump saying the most heinous stuff and then denying it saying it's fake or AI. How will people know? You won't even be able to trust your eyes or ears anymore.

They should make a movie about their story. It'll be like that recent human trafficking movie but with a Chinese girl and cats.

That's a good question. Has someone asked them? I don't log into Reddit anymore.

Tbh, they were big and cool enough they could probably deserve their own instance.

So ya, maybe a Mod FAQ would be helpful for new mods who don't know all the features like that person you just talked to as well.

As someone who hasn't been tracking these UA updates at all, how are the new classes? Are they way more balanced and more fun than the base classes? What makes them better?

Kind of, but not really. You were equating Hamas and all Palestinians together. They're not all the same. Lots of Palestinians want peace, including ones that have been in governing positions. I'm glad you crossed out the one sentence that did that but you've still got this one:

Here is a list of peace offers which would grant the Palestinians a country of their own, they refused all of them

That's a very ambiguous "they" up there and seems to refer to all Palestinians and not just Hamas.

Hamas has been a great excuse to break off peace negotiations, though. I can see why Bibi propped them up to prevent a two state solution. It's worked wonders, although hopefully the blowback of this past event takes him out of political life forever now.

That doesn't sound right. One of those was stopped by an assassination. One was stopped by conservatives gaining power in Israel. One was stopped by a war between Fatah and Hamas.

The PLO offered peace in 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014 and were stopped by Israel.

Many were stopped because of a Hamas attack or Israel refusing to stop taking West Bank territory.

It seems like you were saying that because Palestine didn't give in to Israel's demands every time that it's always their fault.

This is from some quick research, though. Someone feel free to correct me.

Right? It's something you usually wouldn't think of compared to the bombs and stuff, but it really would be terrible, living under that constant noise. It's like some accidental mental torture.

I'm guessing drones. This was from an article in September, before the recent conflict, talking about the constant noise of drones flying overhead is an ever present source of fear and anxiety in Gaza.

Some excerpts:

"Unmanned surveillance aircraft have become an integral part of Israel's 15-year-old blockade of the impoverished enclave, and 2.3 million Palestinians endure their incessant hum."

"Gaza teenager Bissam says she has trouble sleeping and concentrating as the buzzing sound of Israeli military drones above the crowded Palestinian enclave drives her to distraction."

"Sometimes I have to put the pillow on my head so I don't hear its buzz," she said, adding that the drone noise gives her headaches."

"He told AFP that "the buzzing of the drones and the intermittent raids of the F16 (warplanes) have become an integral part of our lives"

At least strikes have been increasing in the industries which have unions. We just need wider union participation and that would be one more avenue to political participation normal workers could be involved in.

Nah it's pretty bad lol. They just slowly crank up which people are impacted, as fascism tends to do, so maybe you personally haven't noticed. Or plenty of people have noticed and aren't sure what the cause is (so they support fascists instead). But if you're a woman, LGBTQ, a teacher, a student, poor, disabled, or tons of other things you will have noticed quality of life steadily getting worse. It's just a lot of people aren't sure what the cause is or how to fix it because political knowledge and participation is so low in this country.

There's a lot of movie and television communities. I can't wait for multi-reddit - like capabilities.
