  • That is arguably a far far far far worse deal, asking a country to demilitarize after being attacked in a war of pure aggression and greed, by a country that couldn't give a shit about international law is insane. The only deal Ukraine should accept is all of their land back with unconditional surrender of the Russian military in every square inch of Ukrainian land.

  • Is there anything wrong with Nebula? Or is the issue that it acts more like a supplemental streaming service rather than a primary one? It seems like between peertube and nebula creators really could shift their user base to other systems if they worked together to bring attention to the matter as part of an organized campaign against Google.

  • Good policy opens up protections to everyone. Poorly versed politicians frame things narrowly because their privileges make them blind to everyday life.

  • Possibly I got distracted by your sentence implying there is no reason to run a red, because it shows you really don't understand. I have multiple intersections on my morning commute where the safest time to cross the intersection is when I have a red light. Sometimes it's legal for me to run them, sometimes it isn't. That happens when intersections are designed for cars and not bicycles. If they were designed just as much for bikes, there would be a leading bike indicator at every intersection in America that has some type of bike infrastructure. You acted like that Anatole France quote wasn't relevant when it unequivocally is. If the safest thing for me to do is break the law, then the law is wrong.

  • It is perfectly legal in many places in the world to run a red light on a motorcycle or bicycle, provided you wait a reasonable amount of time. So your example is complicated. Simply because the magnetic strips that detects cars don't detect them. But if run a red light after waiting, I guarantee the average person will think I'm the same as the person that flys through the intersection without slowing down. In my experience the average car driver has no idea why bicycles make the decisions they make.

    And it is perfectly reasonable to break rules, if breaking them is what is keeping me alive. I really could give a shit what the law is. I care about getting to work alive. And I will make decisions to that end first and the law second.

  • The lights often automatically changes to cyclists priority in many places in the Netherlands, and often provide underpasses to avoid conflict points in the first place. It is not a comparable situation. Traffic laws and infrastructure in the USA, for instance, are incredibly biased in favor of cars, so their comment is absolutely relevant.

    When I bike in the USA often the safest time for me to cross an intersection is unrelated to whether I have a green light, but more related to if anyone else at the intersection does. The safest time for me to go is when no one else at the light has a green light, not when I do.

  • they're all old and outdated tech.

    You can put graphene os on the newest pixel if you really want. Imo, you shouldn't be giving Google the money anyway. Makes more sense to buy an older refurbished pixel from a trusted 3rd party. The newer phones are not really major increases in tech anymore anyway. I'm still rocking a pixel 6 pro and it feels functionally equivalent to the newer phones but it's 5 years old.

  • Before Minnesota we barely moved public opinion, since nonviolent resistance started here, public opinion has shifted sharply. We are winning. The country is on our side. The second people take up arms the perception changes instantly. Don't be fooled by your own anger.

  • Today a 1 state solution is impossible, but someday it will have to be possible or the violence will never end, imo. As long as there are 2 states there will always be people that want to take it all for their "side".

    Proposed instance policy update on Zionist accounts

    Jump

  • I agree with most of what you said, but I'm a little confused by this section:

    On the other hand, Palestinians were very welcoming to the first Jewish immigrants. Their violence started long after the colonial violence of the Zionists. If you want to learn more, I recommend Ten Myths about Israel by Ilan Pappe, an Israeli historic an who says he loves his people but also every other people.

    Whatever your views of post 1948 Israel, Jews and Arabs were both regularly killing each other in Palestine prior to the creation of Israel.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_killings_and_massacres_in_Mandatory_Palestine

    Additionally during the Ottoman empire, when modern Zionism and Jewish immigration started, Jews were moving there fleeing persecution in Russia and Europe. They were a poor underclass when they arrived. Not all Jewish immigrants were Zionist, history suggests most were not. But even those that were, were met with Syrian and Arab nationalists that wished to keep the Ottoman empire Arab. Jews created their own defense very early on in a handful of small farming communities.

    The history leading up to the creation of Israel is really not pretty for anyone, Jews or Arab. But you seem to be painting a picture where "loving Arabs opened their arms and welcomed in the Jews only to be betrayed." That doesn't seem to be how history is recorded. It seems problematic to paint history through a modern lens, if Israel was never created we would be recounting all of the awful things Jews endured under Ottoman rule and Mandated Palestine.

    The problem is really with the creation of 2 states. Most Jews would have likely slowly integrated if Israel was never created. But by creating Israel they emboldened the Zionist nationalists. To me the real issue is with the creation of a Jewish state at the detriment of non Jews living there. We need a 1 state solution.
