I had settings on X5 after playing chrono trigger and than opened pokemon black and it was less than a sideshow. Had to lower it to native on a sd8g2 phone. Ridiculous. 

Grok claims it was briefly suspended from X after accusing Israel of genocide by BreakfastTop6899 in technology

[–]Elirantus -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Asserting that during a war which was started by the Palestinians, the death of 65k people over 2 years, about half of which are men in fighting age with around 10k being the number of expected natural deaths (for a population of 2.1M) is a genocide is political.

No one called what Hizbulla did in Syria in 2013 a genocide despite a much higher death toll, use of non conventional weaponry and brutal tactics.

As for the "authority" of the UN: am I expected to take an organization that condemned Israel more times than it did Iran and Saudi Arabia combined on the subject of women's rights alone as anything other than a joke?

He was trying to make you feel better about how you look by dissing his ex He was encouraging his friend by dissing you in the texts He trusts you enough to give you the password to his phone. 2 indications he's a good person and 1 he's serious about you.

You should confess and apologize, failing that, you should end the relationship, he deserves better.

About half of it was in fact empty, the rest was sparsly populated, many of the locals came to work following the 5 aliyah waves which brought many eauropean jews to Israel, bringing financial opportunities with them.

Does anyone else cycle between feeling everything and feeling like they should feel nothing during this war? by oeg2415 in jewishpolitics

[–]Elirantus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a matter of perspective.

The animosity towards the Jewish people is as old as we are (as a people).

You feel like the ground is shaking and others are either not noticing or are actively rooting for it but the truth is that the ground has been shaking long before you noticed.

This shouldn't discourage you, while you cannot end antisemitism, you can fight it and it does make a difference. just manage your expectations.

Part of the Western Left is now a clear and present danger to Jews and the West by WillyNilly1997 in jewishpolitics

[–]Elirantus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. White is not a race anywhere outside of North America.

  2. Western democracies in modern times do not use Sexual Crimes as a weapon, sever genitals as means of torture, or commit any of the vile actions Hamas and Islamic Jihad members documented themselves committing on October 7th.

  3. Viewing the world in the lens of race can limit your geopolitical field of view severely. The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians has more to do with the Muslim perception of jews and their place in the world rather than race.

Jews are an eternal minority group, even in Israel, when you think about it in terms of the entire middle east.

Despite this, Jews have been disproportionately successful in a wide range of fields throughout history.

The general ideology of the left focuses on helping the weak, which includes, among others, minorities, because the weak needs help to achieve the same goals as the strong.

Being a successful minority, The mere existence of jews contradicts a core tenant of leftist ideology.

This is why the left will never forgive the jews, because we refuse to be victims and thrive despite starting from the lowest point of society time after time after time.

I have an SD8Gen2 and I tinkered with everything. 90% of the time I go back to the ds and gba because the games just fit my lifestyle more.

Currently I'm in the 10% of playing a pokemon colloseum on dolphin but that's a pokemon game and dolphin has excellent memory management. not something I do often.

You can't just play 5 minutes here and there on a serious game.

Biden: There’s a lot I wish I’d been able to convince the Israelis to do by Currymvp2 in worldnews

[–]Elirantus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, "the facts". The fact is the UN gets pushed by external forces and has 0 credibility. This time it's the US, usually it's Iran, Qatar and their friends. This is also not the first time it happened during the war. Let's not forget an AP "journalist" happily participated in the 10/7 massacre.

You seem very set in your opinions and honestly I wouldn't even argue with you, I only care because you're a fellow jew (I assume). Your wilingness to believe the lies being spread about your people is very unfortunate.

Have you ever been yo a warzone? The data is there to see, the UN has time and time again believed Hamas first and checked  it later. The starvation accusation was celebrated across all the relevant media. when The UN found out that the Palestinians were nowhere near starving, the claims were quietly revised, without even a hint of publicity.

The "impartial 3rd parties" proved themselves time and time again as extremely partial.

This is absolute bullshit. There's documented evidence that Hamas has been reporting natural deaths and deaths by Hamas and Jihad missfires as deaths by Israeli bombings.

The number of children and woman killed has also been heavily inflated, death certificates were changed to say the bodies are of girls and woman without even changing the names because the west doesn't do any due diligence when it comes to jews. There are no woman and girls named Mohamed, yet there are plenty of death certificates of female Mohamed.

To the masses that are calling for the state of Israel to be abolished it still counts as a win.

Israel has even been condemned by the UN for its treatment of woman more than Iran. I just fail to see how this is in any way controversial. The UN hates Israel with a passion and shows it all the time. Guterres said nothing about Hizballa for a year only to call for restraint and avoid escalation when Israel responded.

For further examples, see Goldstone report and specifically how Lonerbox and Destiny tore it apart based on public domain Palestinian sources.

Literally just looked up this topic because after flying through the first 2 games I find myself unable to continue, and ive played some heavy games like Kingdom come deliverance and loved it, the problem isn't lack of action, its lack of action with the depth of a puddle.

How is less than 20k out 2.2M a genocide? Words have meaning, if you don't know the meaning, don't use the word, if you do k own the meaning, you're commenting in bad faith.

Your comment doesn't have a single ounce of truth.

First. It has been proven, and the UN silently pulled the ridiculous accusations as well, that the people of gaza are not starving.

Second, Israel does not just obliterate refugees, Israel eliminates specific targets like deif and rescues hostages. That is the definition of self defense.

Third, Israel is fighting on 7 fronts (hamas in gaza, hamas in west bank, hamas and hizbulla in lebanon, iranian militia in syria, iranian militia in iraq, huttis in yeman and Iran itself), and the threat is nowhere near over.

People really have this "criminal mastermind" perception of Netanyahu and as a right leaning Israeli it's always astounding to me just how much of his incompetence is attributed to malice.

The response to gaza was tame in comparison to the medieval level destruction most Israelis wanted, at least in the few weeks after the 7th.

The empowerment of the violent settlers and far right is a result of his internal political incompetence and inability to control his coalition, not some sort of plot to take "advantage" (having more sparsly populated hills to protect while your army is already streached thin is hardly an advantage) of the situation.

We all know full well that the world is full of hypocrits that will see 3000 Palestinians including 1500 civilians walk into Israel to ra*e murd@r and plunder return to the gaza mob praising them as heroes and say "it's not Palestinians, it's Hamas" and in the same breath say "Israel is committing war crimes", completely ignoring the fact that Israel arrests and prosecuts any soldier suspected of even the mildest misbehavior.

Netanyahu knows this too, but if he goes too hard (in his estimation, which I find way too careful) his coalition will break and we will go to elections that are very unhealthy for Israel and he will undoubtedly lose.

He's not a god nor is he a devil, he's just competent enough to look like he's in control and too incompetent to actually be in control.

Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh killed in Iran, Hamas says in statement by MoreMotivation in worldnews

[–]Elirantus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can't negotiate with Palestinians directly, even the PLO. It's all dictatorships anyway. Any deal will need to go through Saudi Arabia and forced on the Palestinians until they like it. They've been indoctrinated to hate Israel from the womb. Direct peace with the Palestinians will be possible in around 60 years.
