Bet my life savings the Pakistani army sells the resource rights to some oil company for $5

Or in the rare chance Imran Khan actually makes it out of political purgatory, bet my life savings it will take the USA 5 seconds to do another regime change.

Or it could also just be a hyped up false report like last time....

I actually found an article that breaks the rule:

West Bank isn't an active war zone

The USA allows you to visit anywhere you want, and they maintain a travel advisory list for every country. Both Israel and the West Bank are listed as "High Security Risk", not "Do Not Travel". You can still visit "Do Not Travel" places at mostly your own risk.

The reason given for the advisory is "terrorism and civil unrest". Nowhere in their explanation does it say you will be actively shot at by the acting "defense" force or police.

Hell considering the circumstances, it's probably better to avoid run ins with the IDF, which is the opposite of what the advisory says to do lol.

I gotta find it again, but someone in a race finished his final lap after running out of gas by leaving the clutch engaged and just running the starter lol. It was enough to keep the car rolling until the finish line.

Gaza isn't anywhere near said special coordinates bruh. Even then it's not their most special coordinate.

I could be wrong but maybe this has something to do with being systematically removed from their homes and land and forced into a tiny encampment to live out the rest of your life as a refugee.

almost like some sort of concentration of the population to ease extermination

Unity was one of the first applications that made me take a good look at FOSS in general because my experience with it was:

"Hey let's make a game for our final project"

"Okay, let's try Unity"

Flashbanged in light mode

Dark Mode is only available for real cash money subscription license

"Yeah okay nvm let's try something open source lol"

Y'all in this comments section really underestimating polls vs voter turnout.

Did everyone already forget 2016?

Michigan turned red over a sketchy candidate. No way in hell it's gonna be blue if a literal genocide supporter is the candidate.

And for all the "but muh ceasfire" comments, I'll be happy to shove the 2 minute pro palestinian speech into your ears since Harris banned it from being presented at the DNC rally after pretending to care about American Palestinians.

Pandering for votes with no change from Biden's stance because all hail that sweet sweet AIPAC money and Israeli war machine.

So either executed by Russia because... the whale didn't like Putin....

or

Executed by the USA because... the CIA doesn't take any chances.......

Other than the stuff already mentioned here, people (probably fairly accurately) thought Linus was a salesman douche with no real knowledge of computers back in the NCIX days.

It was partially true, he was basically a warehouse manager who happened to get lucky making a successful youtube channel which he turned into his own media business after NCIX died.

But that's what the key term is. It's Linus Media Group. Their top goal is to create content that generates views for revenue, and not content that might be useful or takes a lot of effort to do.

Which is why you will almost never see any heavy IT people watching his videos. There are so many examples of people running entire data centers in their house better than LMG could do with actual budget, server space, and hardware. They used to use windows server for everything because they didn't have anyone who knew linux lol.

Washington can't fathom not running their monopoly on every global market lol.

China is supposed to be a dirty 3rd world outsource nation, not a competitor. They should do as told instead of actually investing in their country's infrastructure /s.

Yeah I should have mentioned the context is FBLA, and Google partially fixed the prompt.

Original from a few weeks ago:

BPA is another student org called Business Professionals of America

The AI ignores the subject context and just compares whatever is the most common acronym.

They lazy patched it by making the model do a subject check on the result, but not on the prompt so it still comes back with the chemical lol.

Interesting take, but I want to point out that Afghanistan was completely invaded in a matter of days, and only because the Taliban refused to give up OBL, who was the leader of Al-Qaeda and responsible for 9/11 (ie not the Taliban).

Point being that I don't think the Taliban's strategy was ever to force the USA to invade and then call for help. They simply did not want to back down against a foreign entity, especially since many of their ranks were former Mujaheddin who did the same against Russia.

The issue of civilian collateral only became an issue well after the USA took over and installed the new government, at which point the Taliban had been decimated and forced into hiding.

Israel has the complete capability to completely invade Gaza right now. They have done it before and they gave the same treatment of basically running the area themselves and systematically removing enemies. However, the issue at hand is that Israel wants to expand to the border both in Gaza and the West Bank, but they do not want the Palestinians to be any part of the state.

Even comparing statistics, the rate of civilian collateral is several orders of magnitude higher than Afghanistan, despite Hamas being a smaller percentage of people than what the Taliban was. Hence why the Geneva convention is coming into question. The rate of death is so high that it indicates a level of a targeted massacre if not a genocide.

There's overwhelming evidence that the daily airstrikes on hospitals, schools, camps, etc. do not contain any Hamas militants. Similarly, there's practically zero evidence any of the aid trucks or NGOs working in the area could be confused with Hamas, yet they too have been targeted and shot at multiple times with multiple deaths.

--

I think the belly of the beast is just not brought up enough. Israel has no interest with Palestinians being anywhere in their state, and they will use whatever means necessary to get rid of them, whether it be illegal land grabbing (forced displacement), refusal of citizenship, deportation, ignoring lynch mobs, running a war effort, etc.

Not to mention that Hamas was funded by Israel to keep them propped up in Gaza, which would actually make them the instigator by getting Hamas to do a massive attack to justify a strong reaction. People already forgot that Mossad was under fire for allegedly knowing all about the attack, yet doing nothing to prevent it.

Where Israel miscalculated in this plan was Hamas taking hostages and using them to prevent an instant invasion. This put pressure on the government from the civilian population, and likely caused the USA to force them to slow down. Even now, there is massive pressure on the government to enter a ceasefire simply to allow the hostages to return, regardless of what to do with Gaza afterwards.
