Wins. And MacOS.

Seeing them both together after hardly being able to watch the debate has made my day considerably worse.

Don’t drink or do drugs.

I posted this on Not the Onion https://lemmy.world/post/12579738

I’m not spinning anything. I want to know why you expect Israel to do all the work towards peace?

Please. Don’t shit me.

Your last question:

I don’t think you’re really considering the actions and goals of Hamas here. Is anything they do justified as long as they don’t have their own state away from Israel?

What a nice false dichotomy, though!

In any case, how sad them for Israel that it has successfully created the Hamas of today and tomorrow, and for years to come because of its violent approach.

And surprlse surprise how you spin the discussion in the last question towards wanting to make me look like someone who justifies kidnapping and murder

Feel free to do it yourself

Giving people rights and ending apartheid and reducing extremism is heavy lifting? As opposed to now???

But yes I expect the supremacist colonial landgrabbers to do the heavy lifting.

To do “self defence”, all Israel had to do was guard its borders and have some diplomatic solution that didn’t completely dehumanize Palestinians, maybe policies that listen to expert opinions on these subjects and how this is causing extremism to double. They didn’t need to invade “in self defence”.

If I make my house bullet proof and you shoot it every day in the hopes of killing me at some point I have the right to get rid of you by some method surely?

Funny how that works both ways.

And before that Israel so happened to be just ramping up settler violence and assaulting people in Jerusalem trying to get into Al-Aqsa mosque. Totally unrelated. /s

The calculus changes when everything from ambulances to children could be actual, literal bombs.

That’s a really weird way to say, “I’ll kill any Palestinian that moves, even the cattle, because I can’t even bother viewing them as human beings”.

Would it be acceptable if someone shot an Israeli ambulance, saying, “well, you never know these days, these ambulances are full of IDF ready to attack!”?

Nope, and neither should the opposite.

How?

You didn’t see the same reaction to, for example, Ukraine being invaded. Indifference was acceptable.

In the example of Ukraine, countries have taken countless measures to pressure Russia. In this case, counties are complicit in the genocide. There’s a difference. People don’t protest when politicians do at least the bare minimum.

What do you propose Israel do about all of the missiles being fired by Hamas?

Don’t they already have the Iron Dome? That btw lets missiles drop on “poor Palestinian areas” because their systems categorize them as “empty lands”?

What do you suggest they do? Aside from killing every man, woman and child, of course?

Sorry to hear you are going through this.

That I understand. Maybe you could try a browser extension to block text or news based on keywords? One parental control extension helped me filled out news from rich people that piss me off

Block everyone you disagree with

I think the lack of monitoring can be helpful to employees: rather than breathing over their necks (whether physically or digitally), you should enable them to make their own decisions, hold them responsible for them, and give them ownership over their own work. A someone who’s been working non-stop since university, the only places where I truly thrive and want to take most responsibility are the places that don’t police me, the places that are transparent but not intruding.

Maybe working from home is one way to achieve this. Having good online etiquette when using stuff like Slack or Discord can mitigate problems that arise from physical distance. Out to do an urgent shopping task? Fine, just say so on your Discord status! Then you become visible to everyone without having to be in the same room or building.

It’s impossible to track workers at work too though… Everyone is whereever to do whatever. At least in Europe.

Fair point. It happens, but sadly often this in the meme is the company culture we are returning to.

I had one shitty colleague who was taking naps during work hours and then working in the evening when all of us have headed home, so he makes decisions we never agreed on and surprises us in the morning.

I think his problem may have had more to do with him being an asshole rather than the working from home policy. But it sure as hell made it easier for him to get away with this behaviour behind a screen.
