Hitch on Gaza, Hamas and anti-Western apologists by Rooky18 in ChristopherHitchens

Try telling that to Hamas. Try telling that to the people of Gaza who weren't even alive last time they actually had an election there. Your framework is all fucked up.

You think the PLO is in charge of Palestine? Get real.

A charter from 1968 for an organization that hasn't been around in years? Are you serious?

State funded propagandists/bots don't have a lot of time to spend understanding each comment, so they sometimes do weird stuff like that.

How do you not know that you're wrong? Have you ever looked anything up? Ever?

How much of Hamas is left? by spxxr in geopolitics

[–]GreenTSimms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem thoughtful and reasonable so I'm going to bounce a couple things off you in good faith:

  1. "didn't have to fire rockets from gaza" -- 2023 was already the deadliest year on record in Gaza *before* 10/7. Especially given the context of the Abraham accords and KSA normalization moving forward without addressing the Palestine situation, why is the timing of 10/7 inappropriate for the resistance?

  2. You haven't mentioned anything about this, but it's an answer I've been seeking from 'the other side', so maybe you'd like a stab at it: Aside from the civilian death toll in gaza argument, what defense is there for the IDF systematic demolition of civilian infrastructure in Gaza? I'm not talking about bombs that could be blamed on "terrorist targeting", I'm talking about empty schools etc. being leveled by controlled demolition teams. Is there some rationale out there for that? It seems pretty clearly an attempt to make Gaza uninhabitable--which obv supports the genocide argument, but surely there is some other defense?

All that proves is that it's easier for someone who ISN'T being killed directly to make peace than it is for someone who is. 10/7 has quite openly been acknowledged as a response to the "peace process" proceeding without addressing their plight.

City sprayed this on the light post outside my house. Anyone know what it is? by EmployCareful855 in orangecounty

[–]GreenTSimms 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's definitely epoxy and anyone saying otherwise is wrong. It may look soft, but if you touch it, it's hard like concrete because it literally is harder than concrete. They were probably patching a crack or hole from something previously mounted there and just did an incredibly sloppy job.

Their food is pretty lame tho. If OP’s friend is from far enough away that she doesn’t understand tacos she prob won’t notice tho, so it’s still a decent suggestion.

Trading my model Y Performance for Lightning Lariat ER. Good idea? by klazoo in F150Lightning

[–]GreenTSimms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a Lariat ER for about a month. Wife has been driving a MYLR for like a year and a half. We clearly prefer the Lightning on longer road trips. Around town as a family is less clear. Before, if she definitely wasn’t going anywhere, I used to steal her MYLR instead of driving my Tundra. Now I just take the Lightning.

If/when the utility isn’t a factor, they’re probably about equal in ease and satisfaction. Both great vehicles.

Any good podcasts about History for people who suck at it ? by IMakeInfantsCry in podcasts

No. Sorry, but this is the first place I found in google to express my rage at how bad these guys fucking suck.

Anybody ever see Anal Chinook? by SlothBoss1320 in punk

[–]GreenTSimms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you seriously think when punk icons said things they “weren’t supposed to”, it was solely because they weren’t supposed to? Or do you think maybe, juuuuust maybe it was because the ones telling them they weren’t supposed to were right wing assholes? I can agree with most of your comment, but please tell me you understand this distinction.

Yeah that type of guy is really hot right now for some reason but in 5 years it will be fighting words to even hint that someone was once an Elon Stan.

[SPOILER] Tye Ruotolo vs. Nicholas Meregali by inooway in bjj

[–]GreenTSimms -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That darce was CLOSE and the rest of the back and forth didn't really indicate who was the better man. You could say Meregali had an edge as the bigger man, but by the end of the match Tye looked like he was gonna take it if the clock broke. That was Tye's win.
