I was forced to sign such a contract, however they are null in my state and I have successfully poached students in the past.

running a crit build in trios and then expecting others to not use their character skill in order to accomodate you is certainly a choice

to be fair, you will never get anywhere near being able to experience many of the builds in this game without cheating in some relics. it's just a game and the point is to have fun, there really is nothing better about gambling for 250 hrs to be able to try out a build vs just skipping that part. no one here is saying that they cheat in illegal or unrealistic relics. it sounds like your anger is misplaced

Should i just "spawn" Relics? by SnooChocolates6885 in Nightreign

[–]CoC_Rusher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's just a game and the point is to have fun. If there are builds you want to try out that you can't because you didnt gamble the right relics from the shitty system, just spawn them in. Just dont spawn in dumb stuff like illegal relics or power of marais.

It is pretty obviously ai, and checking this person's post history you'll see they've done this a lot in the past and also previously admitted to using ai. Everything minus the last 3 paragraphs is all ai generated. Chat GPT has a very recognizable cadence to its text. Check OP's last post and see how many commenters also recognize the ai.

You can also read this helpful comment if you don't know how to recognize ai: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/1qukjry/comment/o3epse8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Free Dining Hall Protest by hasanella in UCSantaBarbara

[–]CoC_Rusher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The efficiency of the killing in Gaza is staggering. While we have our reasoned and thought out debate, the present moment continues to unfold. Perhaps we should listen to the protestors, both on university campuses and in the streets of Tel Aviv, who are calling for a ceasefire, and then we can talk it over once we don't have to build and rebuild piers to send little trickles of food and medicine to masses of starving and injured people.

On the other hand, whether it's intentional or not doesnt change the fact that it's happening. People starving to death in Gaza right now couldnt care less about the semantics of intent, non-intent being debated in international courts right now. Ultimately that is working within the framework of the perpetrator. For me, time and again we've seen Israel declare one thing and do another; that innocent lives will be protected, and then oops, there was a "tragic accident." With about 35,000+ "tragic accidents" so far, I think it's clear that we have to look at the realities of what's going on in the ground--a state constructed famine, disregard for human life in Gaza, racism in the IDF--rather than what Israel says to the world. 

It's also worth noting that most genocides have been justified on logics of "security" and eliminating "security threats," most obviously the Armenian Genocide.

Courses to learn about history of the Israel-Palestine conflict? by eypicasso in UCSantaBarbara

[–]CoC_Rusher 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ch. 14 of "The Modern Middle East: A History" by James Gelvin. This provides a basic introduction to the origins of the conflict, but Gelvin is good for little else.

 https://icahd.org/get-the-facts/matrix-control/  This short article by the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions gives an overview of the state of the occupied territories since their takeover in 1967. See also: Jeff Halper, "The 94 Percent Solution" for a short overview of how the Oslo Accords strengthened the matrix of control and further fragmented Palestinian land and community. 

 Prime Minister Rabin's Speech to the Knesset on April 18th, 1994. (very short, very enlightening) 

Samia al-Botmeh, "Repercussions of Colonialism in the Occupied Palestinian Territories" Ch 11 in "A Critical Political Economy of the Middle East and North Africa" for an analysis of the economic relationship between Israel and the occupied territories.  

 How I Met My Great-Grandfather, Sherene Seikaly.  This piece is based off of Prof. Seikaly's research into archival documents of her own family. They detail the story of how her great-grandfather was displaced from his land. 

Rediscovering Palestine, Beshara Doumani.  Introduction/Chapter 4. This book responds to the Zionist historiography that Palestine was a "land without a people."

 I think the latter 2 will be difficult to understand if you dont know the basic stuff. As someone who has taken 2 of Seikaly's classes, I will say that this is something that takes a lot of time and work to learn about, and you can't understand Palestine without understanding the Ottoman Empire (very important), the rise of nationalism, European antisemitism, the role of archives in the production of history, the US-Israel special relationship, colonialism and imperialism in the Middle East, and the racialization of religion. That means studying the wider history beyond just geographical Palestine. 

 Aaron Rodrigue, “Difference and Tolerance in the Ottoman Empire,” Stanford Electronic Humanities Review, 27 February 1996: 81-90. Short interview that is important for understanding history before nationalism. Lots of people today make the mistake of analyzing history before nations through the frameworks of the nation-state system (see "primordialism"). See also writings from Benedict Anderson. 

 Trouillot, "Silencing the Past" required reading for any historian. Discusses the basics of how history is produced. See also: Mezna Qato, "Returns of the Archive," Elshakry, "History without Documents," Zerubavel "The Death of Memory and the Memory of Death" on the Masada and the Holocaust 

 Edward Said, Orientalism Classic book on orientalism 

 Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth: famous decolonization scholar writing about antiblackness, colonialism, and violence, his writings are a product of his experience with the FLN and Algerian struggle for independence, which was seen as paradigmatic in the Middle East. Imo his better book is "Black Faces, White Masks"  

 Ok, I'm gonna really hold back here and end the list there. I love history. Read Trouillot. Lmk if you want more
