… is wrong, as long as the mirror is flat. This one is easy to test so this might be a better bet.

But that was never the bet. The bet was about transmitting light through the atmosphere. This is just some weird little aside you got yourself tangled in. More than happy to take on a bet about the transmission power of mirrors versus lasers from space, which is what were actually discussing.

(Dug this one out of the grave because I’m trying to find another bet I just won, so was searching for “bet”)

And how many hostages does Israel have? Do Palestinians not have the same right, that if their family has been taken hostage, to do anything to get them back?

You dont get it. Its clear that you dont get it.

Mmmm… funny pee.

They should have to do another drug after every question in the debate.

I just imagine Kamala setting a long intricate series of physical humor allowable traps that eventually leads to the debate stage, where the boys fall through the ceiling, and opening their hearts to Pappa Trump live on air, so we can all learn the true meaning of Christmas.

There is a line where something ceases to be a difference in politics and becomes a person advocating for and justifying the eradication of a people.

That’s you.

Your on the other side of that line.

Its no longer a difference of politics but a question of if you regard other humans as humans or not. and your on the wrong side of that answer. And like with the “paradox of tolerance”, if you aren’t willing to accept the humanity of other people being inherently valuable, no one should be obligated to treat yours as much. In other words, if you can’t accept the humanity of another people and this genocide is “justified” to you, no one is obligated to respect you as a human, because you’ve betrayed that social contract.

How many people are they allowed to kill in retaliation for Oct 7th? Zero? 1:1? 10:1?

I mean you asked the question, whats your number?

Because Israel has killed 104 as of today.

If Hamas killed 4 on Oct 7, that puts the ratio at 26:1.

Israel estimates that 1200 were killed on Oct 7.

A recent estimate puts Israel at 34,900 killed.

Thats a ratio of about 29:1. Is that acceptable to you?

I’m doing this not because there is any acceptable level, but to highlight the absurdity of the idea that there even is one. Hamas needs to be held accountable for its crimes. Israel needs, at a level about 29 times more so, also needs to be held accountable for their crimes.

The idea that any level of incidental murder is acceptable is absurdist, and you are a terrible person if you think there is one.

(no but seriously, we need a toggle button for nsfw, I dont want to block instances.

What you just communicated, is one of the most psychologically damaged things I’ve ever seen communicated on social media.

We are talking about genocide of one human ethnicity versus genocide of all human ethnicities including the first one

What in the chicken fried fuck are you talking about.

it would be very easy for Biden to genocide zero ethnicities, but I’m not Biden so I don’t get to make that choice. I only get to choose Biden or Trump.

You are just pro-genocide dude. You are parroting what the Nazis parroted in their genocide of the Jews. That its good for them. That its better this way. You’ve lost your god damned mind and need to seek real professional help.

just have to block the lemmy.nfsw instance and it goes away

Uno.

Hey thanks for bumping this and coming around.

I’m giving the entire post/ thread a re-read, because boy, is it both damning and telling.

Fascists really really don’t want socialism.

2026:

Tabs the whole bloody way round…

The Biden aquarians live in a constant state of denialism about Biden, and it is what cost us this election.

This seems like a FOSS bait and switch. Yall gotta start getting the message: The profit is the problem.

You aren’t taking into account the patent inversion convention of 1898.

Patent got filed on double reverse patent day. Draw 4.
