You can justify all manner of horrible things with “it’s the only way”; chemical warfare, blood and nerve agents, etc. Best to actually just follow LOAC. Problem is that they get carte blanche and a blank check.

To clarify: I realize those mean the same thing sort of, but not connotatively.

Back at you. Constructive debate is a pillar of modern reason.

Don’t disagree with all that. Very clear.

I’m not saying all Jews are doing genocide at all. Just that saying “Jews have nothing to do with this” is absolutely categorical nonsense. Zionism is inextricably linked to Judaism. Not necessarily the other way around.

Thinking Zionism is linked to Judaism is just knowing what the word means.

Well, over 70% of Israel is Jewish and I don’t think it is the remainder going to war against majority Muslim countries. So it seems to involve a pretty big portion.

IRC still awesome, even in 2026. It’ll be awesome in 2056 too.

Gotta love a Dark Tower reference. Love that series.

Yeah ok but zen is actually pretty good for a free browser.

Pretty sure it dates back to the dawn of commerce.

Yes. I mean they should be ubiquitous across all operating systems and platforms.

Duress passwords should absolutely be a thing.

More anti-signal propaganda? Who is claiming it can’t be associated to a user. The messages are private, not anonymous.

Taiwanese ADIZ violations are a dime a dozen. Doesn’t seem like an escalation, just back to normal.

What is this? Good news? In this economy? It simply cannot be!

I do each to the extent that I can, but it is a bit more difficult outside the country. And what actions we do each take isn’t always something we want to post about online. At any rate, petitions won’t do it.

Generally need a reason to do something. Don’t see how signing this moves the needle. Protest and contact congressmen. Internet petitions won’t save you. Collective action irl, strikes, and raising hell might.

The problem will get worse until consumer protection and privacy are priorities. It will only get worse yet with the growth of identity verification enforcement across technologies.

I’m not disputing that. I’m just saying when the mongol horde arrived, the besieged cities didn’t say “How are we supposed to surrender? You attacked us.”

Please drink verification can.

The same way you do in one you did start.
