“I want to say, in all seriousness, that a great deal of harm is being done in the modern world by belief in the virtuousness of work, and that the road to happiness and prosperity lies in an organised diminution of work.” - Bertrand Russell, In Praise of Idleness

For example, in 2020, the AOS renamed a small prairie songbird found on the Great Plains to “Thick-billed Longspur.” The bird’s original name—honoring John P. McCown, an amateur naturalist who later became a general in the Confederate Army during the U.S. Civil War—was perceived as a painful link to slavery and racism.

I don’t know how I feel about this though…

It’s no secret that a lot of the industry almost depends on slavery… It’s disgusting how corporations crave in to China simply because money with an actual slavery. Very much real proof that no matter how companies sprinkle their logos with rainbows and everything, they don’t care and would go organ harvesting kids if that is legal and lucrative.

Because they were not forced but just happened. It wasn’t an actual organized festival. No one forced anyone anywhere. It was ultimately lack of danger awareness and preparations that honestly could’ve been better but was not something to be expected that led to this disaster…

This is why sideloading is always an essential function for any devices in general. How come I buy stuff and do whatever the fuck I want with it?

Don’t get me wrong, although I think it’s quite clear, Hamas, obviously bad. Very much understandable of Google’s decision. But a company(apple) deciding what is and what is not acceptable to be installed on my device? It’s just uncanny how acceptable it is. That’s like buying a car that can’t go into certain places because uSeR sAfEtY. Even if I probably would never go there, why on Earth would you want that?

praise_idleness ,

No, that’s how you know you’re on the victim side of the story. How are they right when they are not the actor of the situation to begin with?

Hamas: wrong side Israel: wrong side

Palestinians: victims Israelis: victims

praise_idleness ,

So? Are you implying that the Hamas is not in the wrong side or that I said that the Israeli government is not the wrong side? Both of them are wrong.

I’ve seen videos and videos of Gazan people suffering from this war. I’ve also seen how Hamas literally raiding a civilian house and shoot up the possble hiding spot, shooting an unarmed civilian running away, beating up pleading civilian to death, shooting at running away civilian car, beheading dead remains of a solider, beheading a queer person because of course they are one of the most homophobic, violent religious groups… List goes on and on.

Israel fucked up bombing gaza. That’s exactly what Hamas wanted. So that the people turn against them. To make them look like a victim. Israel is on the wrong side too. But if you seriously think that the Hamas is just or not as bad as Israel, you’re just making fool of yourself.

praise_idleness ,

So that makes Hamas good? Do you read what I said before you answer this? I am not saying Israel good.

praise_idleness ,

Then why are you keep coming up with Israel bad? I explicitly agreed with you. Just move on. Both are bad and in wrong side. Only victims are civilians who did nothing to deserve those cruelty.

praise_idleness ,

We should still condemn Israel. Just because Hamas is kidnapping, raping, actively shooting up civilian houses, dragging dead bodies behind trucks, shooting at running away civilians, shooting rockets all willy nilly, ending up bombing civilians for the last decades, using people in Gaza as a human shield, inncapable of protecting its citizens from Israel’s counter attack, and is a theocratic religious nutjobs whose tolerance is only for honour killing, rather than queer people or women’s rights. Israel is bombing civilian buildings and hospitals. They should also be the bad side, even though one is very much clearly the worst side someone can possibly be on.

praise_idleness ,

Mmn yes resistance movement that holds its civilians as hostage, blocking the borders internally so that no precious civilians that are their only means of negotiation can get away from the situation.

Regarding queer and women’s rights, Israel is the reason Palestinians don’t have that. Israel is the reason they have fundamentalist Islamists instead of secular marxists at the front of the movement. Palestinians can only win their fight against religious fundamentalism after they win their fight to break free from their open air prison.

Yes because any other places that are muslim and not have Israel problem is a nice place to be for queer people or women.

whats the fucking point.

What’s the point if hamas let people do what they seem fit and not shooting Gazan civilians at least trying to run away from it or not?

It’s not illegal to be queer in Israel. Israel is not theocratic. Judaism, although differs to some degree, is on the more accepting part of the spectrum. It is also not illegal per se in Palestine as well but they often go to Israel to escape from very real threats from their family or the police. Israel is the only country where pride parade is held in the Middle East. Hamas, on the other hand, executes queer people very openly.

It’s difficult to separate information about Palestinian gays from the Israeli gay scene. Since Palestine is a very homophobic culture many Palestinian gays and lesbians are forced against their cultural and religious will to hide in Israel where homosexuality is much more acceptable and, indeed, protected. Three stories are presented here about gay living and loving in these two lands torn by tribal warfare.

From GlobalGayz.com

By many metrics, Israel is considered a trailblazer on LGBTQ issues. Openly gay Israelis have been permitted to serve in the military since the early 1990s, nearly two decades before the U.S. military formally permitted gays to serve openly.

My first language is Korean. It’s impossible not to get a few concept of Japanese language watching anime for extended period of time. They are very similar to each other, with most of the concept more straightforward in Japanese.

I think what makes Japanese hard(especially for the westerners) is reading/writing. Most Korean people learn Hanja or, in Japanese, Kanji(they are not 100% same but almost interchangable) to some degree. This was a huge advantage for me learning Japanese since I can read/write most of the common words before I even speak the language.

This is the reason I always advise people not to be always nice. Be nice once in a while. That way people will speak of you like He’s a nice guy, actually.

Hamas says it releases two US hostages 'for humanitarian reasons' after Qatari efforts (www.reuters.com)

GAZA, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Hamas’ armed wing, the Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades, has released two U.S. hostages from Gaza - a mother and her daughter - “for humanitarian reasons” in response to Qatari mediation efforts in the war with Israel, its spokesman Abu Ubaida said on Friday....

These guys should go watch war videos from aHR0cHM6Ly90aGV5bmMuY29t (base64 encoded link, very NSFW. Visit with caution.). Sure Israelis do some bad shit. But after you see Hamas soldiers forcing a teenage kids to help them killing yet another civilians, raiding civilian houses and shooting up the place, playing hide-and-seek with vulnerable women and child hiding behind a car, shooting at running away elders, I don’t think any reasonable person would ever support Hamas for their action.

Video is from aljazeera

where this claim started. Just saying.

praise_idleness ,

The video claims that that specific missile didn’t cause the explosion. That is not mutually exclusive to IDF’s claim of failed rocket launch.

Watch about around 15 seconds of this video. Failed launch can look very different from normal missile attacks. Their claim, whether true or not, has very little real evidence and jumps to conclusion.

Also worth noting that aljazeera is run by Quatari government.

praise_idleness ,

They have long been criticized for the antisemitic, anti-israel sentiment and Islamist position, which is very much expected. I have nothing actively against them. It’s just that they are Fox news equivalent when it comes to Israel-Palestine situation.
