I actually don't really care too much who is president. Either one of them would IMO do a good enough job. I mostly care whether the president impacts my everyday life or causes nuclear war. However, though it isn't his fault directly, having Trump in charge would impact my everyday life negatively, mostly because it would fuel another 4 years of incessant leftist whining all around me, from all my friends and family, along with people starting to (erroneously, IMO) see and declare that racism and sexism is everywhere again. It'll start causing fights between me and my wife again. My workplace and all local institutions will start making statements about how they're standing up to Trump and racism. Under Biden, I have truly enjoyed some nice peace and respite from politics.

I'm also not looking forward to the toxicity that will result from a Trump win. I would argue against Trump having a greater effect on ones own life though as Biden reinforced and introduced such draconian measures during COVID, such as the vaccine mandates, which was a HARD and direct effect on my life vs a SOFT effect of putting up with a bunch of whiny liberals. Not to mention the censorship industrial complex, wars, judicial overreach; a leftist executive wields hard power much more readily than a trump administration with all of the deep-state headwinds.

I use shampoo maybe once a month. Contrary to what you might think, my hair is not greasy, looks great, and nobody would expect I basically do not use shampoo. I do not use conditioner either. This fixed my usual winter dandruff and I believe my hair is healthier. I credit 4chan for these revelations.

Yes it was, don't be disingenuous.

I was ranked #3 in North America for PUBG solo during the times when PUBG was popular. Still not sure if it was accurate or I should be proud of it or not lol

Airburst munitions don't leave much of a crater. The large fireball in the video further supports this type of weapon.

IMO, the military could have immediately "debunked" the 40 beheaded babies story, but let it run wild for awhile anyways for obvious reasons.

To me what you described seems like a multi-proxy, insurgency war within or near to the borders of Israel which is very sobering to think about. You're right though perhaps I am being too much of a doomer in regards to Israel's ability to fight this conflict, even a regional one. I think however, the idea or era of Zionism is over. As in, Israel has used all of it's grace and the global community might even make Israel give up concessions for a lasting peace.

Maybe, I'm skeptical by nature especially from a conflict and alleged atrocity such as this. The photos to me could also fit the signature of an Air Burst JDAM. If you had a target - or group of targets - in an open area like a parking lot, using an air burst munition makes the most sense and causes the most damage. However I am not an expert.

Maybe I'm skeptical or biased but I still don't buy it. Which begs the question if these photos sway the Arab powers and their people one way or the other.

IMO, we are moving to a multi-polar world with the powers being US, Russia, and China. During this transition the powers are trying to find their place in the new hegemony and we are seeing the areas of friction such as the war in Ukraine and now a looming war in the ME. Our rivals, seeing us weakened, are likely to take the opportunities to strike or make moves for their own position.

The ME is kind of a wildcard IMO as they are not organized, and without a regional polar power, split themselves between US and Russia as protectorates. This conflict has the possibility to provide a unifying rallying cry for the Arab states. You can see the reshuffling of the cards now with the diplomatic disposition of Saudi Arabia and Jordan to name a few.

Again IMO, I think this is signalling the end of Pax Americana and our leadership is just not capable of realizing it. Russia will win and gain some clout, some ME countries will throw off the yoke of the US, and I await a Chinese flex. I'm not sure exactly how things will play out but it seems like something is going to happen in these calamitous geopolitical environments.

Fair enough, certainly more criticism and skepticism now.

I saw a video from a couple days ago, which I am too lazy to lookup, in which a plane - or drone - targeted and bombed a source from a rocket launch from overhead. The scenario I am picturing is something like that, a quick trigger pull on a rocket launch source in the middle of the night with lights off or something. It's plausible that a shot from the hip like that could have been done. I imagine the operators and pilots are quite trigger happy at the moment over Gaza. Maybe they don't even have to ask a command chain for a decision like that.

Negotiate with Hamas and make peace including concessions. Probably something like recognizing Palestine, ending settlements, respecting borders, ending blockades and embargo, whatever it takes I guess.

The atmosphere right now reminds me a lot of the post 9-11, war on terror vibes. The US is about to get dragged into some middle eastern conflicts by Israel. The propaganda parrots, "patriots", Zionists, and arm chair generals repulse me. The US is led by a geriatric imbecile, our economy is hanging on by a thread, our weapon and oil stockpiles are depleted, our reputation is dwindling and our allies are weak or disappearing. This will not end well for the US. Unfortunately, I think the train has left the station. I hope this will be worth it.

Personally, I think this is the end of Zionism. Public perception has changed and the propaganda doesn't work like it used to. Israel might actually get fucked now. I feel we are in for large societal and cultural changes, as well as a geopolitical reordering if not WW3.

Lots of hoop jumping from Zionists on twitter right now.

I think that it's possible Hamas was launching rockets near the hospital and the IDF Air Force hit it after seeing a rocket launch from that location, not realizing its a hospital, or realizing too late.

If you look at the video of the one explosion close up, its way larger than any rocket we've seen Hamas launch in this conflict. Pretty clear its a JDAM IMO. Takes a lot of hoop jumping to conclude otherwise.

Except now all their neighbors are rallying around a common cause, so guess that isn't sound warfare strategy either.

It's a human right to destroy millions of your neighbors? Well that's new.

Israel has created their enemies, instead of making peace with them, or coming to an agreement, they escalate, bully, and oppress. Hopefully we will see how their hubris and chutzpah will be rewarded. Unfortunately they will also drag the US with them to this lesson.

Telling corporations they need to respond harder to antisemitism in light of the recent Israeli / Palestinian escalation, like they did during BLM, encouraging their CEO's to sign workplace pledges against antisemitism. Telling the media - on air - to refer to Hamas as terrorists or barbarians, not fighters or militants.

With the worldwide exposure and she would make a good hostage that's for sure. I agree though, I think hope she's alive is slim.

This is excellent. Maybe Elon can send them some rockets.

I agree an intervention of Iran would at least start with Hezbollah as proxy.

I didn't think it was that incoherent, a little rushed perhaps. This post of yours is not much better. If Israel could just shell Gaza then why are they massing 100,000 troops and equipment at the border?
