Dozens of Zionists are outright demanding that Palestinians be ethnically cleansed from Israel.

Israel’s Defense Minister ordered a complete siege on Gaza, including denying food to a civilian population of over a million, a literal war crime.

He said, "There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel. We are fighting human animals and we will act accordingly."

Most astonishingly, they even cut off water to a civilian population. Note that calling people "human animals" is a dehumanization technique which often precedes genocide.

I keep seeing these posts like... "Why does American/Western media support Israel so much?"

First of all, the answer is incredibly obvious, so the question strikes me as stupid. But then I read all the responses, and it's just people talking about "WELL BECAUSE ISRAEL ARE THE GOOD GUIS!!"

Do people seriously not understand who owns the media in the US? I'm sure this is more common knowledge outside the US, or at least I hope so, but the American people themselves seem totally clueless.

There was an article by Joel Stein in the Los Angeles Times many years ago. Joel Stein is a Jewish man who was lamenting the fact that people won't acknowledge who owns Hollywood. The article was entitled "

I’ve kept an eye on this Israel situation for the past few days.

Here’s what I’ve learned, & here are my blunt & honest thoughts:

1. Israel chose to ignore intelligence from Egyptian officials about a major attack coming from Hamas.

2. Multiple former IDF soldiers & Israeli intelligence personnel have come forward online and said there’s a zero percent chance Israel was unaware of this attack beforehand or couldn’t have prevented it.

3. We just watched unsophisticated terrorists on hang gliders soar into one of the most heavily-defended & surveilled countries on the planet.

4. Within 48 hours of the attack, we’re now suddenly seeing enormous support for an

We've known for many years that a lot of the tropes surrounding gender (ie. that girls play with dolls and boys prefer trucks) are in fact INNATE behavioral differences rooted in biological differences between the genders.

To quote one study:

preferences for sex-linked toys may emerge in children before any self-awareness of gender identity and gender-congruent behavior. In order to test this hypothesis, interest in a doll and a toy truck was measured in 30 infants ranging in age from 3 to 8 months using eye-tracking technology that provides precise indicators of visual attention. Consistent with primary hypothesis, sex differences in visual interest in sex-linked toys were found, such th

The case against pit bulls starts by pointing out their disproportionate tendency toward violence.

For example, to point out that in the US, pit bulls are responsible for around 60% of all murders by dog, despite being only around 6% of the US dog population.

Now there are two possible responses to this FACT. One response is to argue that it is MOSTLY due to environment, and the other response is to argue that it is MOSTLY due to genetic differences.

​

This mirrors perfectly the human "racist" debate.

For example, to point out that in the US, blacks are responsible for around 505 of all murders, despite being only around 13% of the US population.

Now there are two possible respo

I've seen a lot of posts here express bafflement at how others are able to not just play Grand Admiral no scaling and survive, but to dominate the AI. This will be a fairly thorough guide that will go step by step into the process of how to maximize your early years. I will play through a game to year 30 to demonstrate some of the techniques and lead your through some of the decision making, then show the final results.

Obviously this is a complex game, and different builds will call for different approaches. I decided to avoid any overly complex or overpowered meta builds and pick a fairly generic biological empire with mostly vanilla traits for this guide. Keep in mind if you are playing

I've beaten GA no scaling with every conceivable decent build I could think of. Now it's time to start trying to beat it with some intentionally weak builds...

The only build I won't entertain is inward perfection, or perhaps any combination of pacifist/xenophobe, since I simply don't see any possible path toward victory with both war and diplomacy off the table.

So what do you think are the weakest traits/civics/origins to combine into a generally terrible race? Do your worst!

It is obviously in DD's best interest to have as many drivers on the road as possible. So why won't they let people dash whenever they want to?

I've heard the argument that drivers will quit if they aren't making enough... But that argument just doesn't make sense. Drivers quitting just makes the market better for other drivers. Obviously the driver market will reach an equilibrium point on its own, and DD doesn't have to do anything about it. In fact, they clearly would benefit from an oversaturated market.

So what's going on here? Why force people to schedule a week in advance?
