Of course we can. We can stop funding them financially and militarily, we can stop doing business with them, and we can refuse their citizens travel, until they stop genocide and end apartheid.

You're pretending like this isn't common place already, it's just unfathomable that it can happen to Israel for some reason?

Pretending it doesn’t exist is harmful, even if that autonomy is being used to hurt people.

What? What is this "pretending"? What do you think we're talking about? And what makes pretending Israel isn't a state, if that's what you understood being said, harmful?

I’d rather see them abolished

That's what we're talking about. Let's abolish Israel, and create a new state for all the people, historically we'd call that Palestine, but I'm okay with coming up with a new name.

Name your court cases where the women's testimony was solid and was admitted as evidence and the perpetrator got away because we don't believe women, those real cases.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago

They said you don't need victim testimony because the rapist is bragging about it, and your interpretation is that said don't believe women.

You're the sexest one, even if you don't realize it.

More pacifying, look how happy everyone is that we scored a major upset... In my opinion, they're going to Mueller Report this and attempt to sweep it under the rug just like they did the Russian Collusion.

Red cities are typically found in Red states.

Why? Do you actually believe states have rights?

States are invented, lines are drawn on maps and people are divided by elites, it's silly to insist that a genocidal ethno state should simple continue to exist because it already exists.

We don't want a two state solution, we want one state where everyone is treated equally regardless of religion.

It doesn't, that's the point. We don't need them to recognize Palestine now or next month, we need them to address the genocide. End all support for Israel, and use UN forces to actually stop the genocide.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They didn't do it, he just said they will.

They are trying to cover their assess from the accountability of being complicit with the genocide the whole time, they are counting on people like you to let them get away with it.

What does recognize Palestinian state mean? They'll give us what's left of the rubble in Gaza and the few ghettos they allow us to call the Palestinian territory in the West Bank?

Is there anything proposed that will actually give Palestinians any semblance of justice?

People in this thread don't understand what machine learning is, and they think Tesla's FSD is chat gpt.

I'm an early Tesla enthusiast and I've purchased FSD when it was cheap, I still don't have what I purchased, they no longer claim the things they used to claim it will do on the website, Elon is a Nazi con man who took a great product and hired brilliant engineers to build amazing tech only to taint it by manipulating an election to install a dictator and Seig Heiled in celebration.

But Elon is just the rich asshole that runs the company, the brilliant engineers made amazing software that is still amazing despite not fulfilling Elon's fraudulent sales pitches.

This is not an endorsement of Tesla, I hope it crashes and burns as long as he benefits from it, I wish we can nationalize it and all its very valuable assets. But my "supervised" FSD handles all my driving and I haven't had a single disengagement in many months. It takes me from my driveway to any address with ease, and my passengers don't even realize I'm not driving.

Sticking your head in the sand and pretending it's not a real product because the CEO turned out to be a Nazi isn't intellectually honest or useful. Normalize the idea of nationalizing Tesla, it was heavily funded by our tax dollars after all.

FSD is improving at an incredible pace, and it would be very beneficial to society to nationalize and open source it, otherwise Elon the Nazi capitalist gets to benefit from it alone. China has incredible capacity to collect the training data in a short time that Tesla spent a decade collecting, and I have no doubt they'll have an FSD comparable product soon, I do doubt they'll open source it.

inb4 someone calls me a Republican or a Russian because I said FSD is real. Find someone who has it and ask them for a demo, and judge for yourself.

That's exactly what they do, these people are obsessed with the idea that someone is going to break in at night and try to hurt their family.

I had a colleague who invited me to dinner and just casually plopped his pistol on the counter before serving his kids dinner, and explained why it's always loaded and has a round chambered, he worried the intruder would be so high on drugs that a single shot might not stop them, so you need the gun ready to go so you can react fast and hit him several times to take him down. This same explanation was given to me by a few people.

It was out of the kids' reach, holstered, and the safety was on. He has very strict rules that he follows when handling the gun, he was very aware of his gun when he allowed me to handle it, after he unchambered it, and made sure I swept the ground and pointed it at the top of the exterior wall of the house where no neighbors live. I didn't feel unsafe at any moment, but that druggie scenario isn't one I was worried about in our very safe suburban neighborhoods.

I have kids, and I have guns. I'm a leftists who believes an armed minority is harder to oppress. My kids don't know that I have guns and don't have access to them, and won't until they are able to understand why we have them. You can't expect them to just know to be responsible gun owners just because you are.
