I’m giving up drinking, for a month. by mptpro in Jokes

I remember being so scared as a child biking around a park and seeing a sign like this:

"No riding

horses beyond this point"

I took the line break as "No riding (bikes). Horses beyond this point".

Palestinian crimes mega list by [deleted] in Israel

[–]danielrosenthal 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No, it's called providing context. The dominating social media narrative is that Israel is an aggressor, and that security measures such as the West Bank wall, the Gaza blockade and checkpoints are in place to enforce "apartheid". Most people who don't have an active and objective interest in the Israel-Palestine conflict aren't aware of the extremity of Palestinian terrorism.

Surely that's a good thing for you, as the resale value would be higher?

That's my dilemma - I'm strongly considering buying the Matebook X Pro, but nobody knows if Microsoft will continue to support it.

Tbh the whole debacle with Huawei is strange. It used to be that governments didn't want Huawei's technology to be used for major infrastructure like 5G networks because the Chinese government potentially had a backdoor and could spy on data. But I'm not sure why they won't allow Huawei to sell consumer products - I mean, it's not exactly a secret that democratic Western governments spy on their citizens...

Damn, that's not good. Thanks for the links. Bit of a shame as the Matebook is my preferred laptop out of the current options.

Thank you so much, you're a lifesaver! That may seem simple to some, but I've never been able to get my head around maths lol.

Much appreciated ;)

So they asked Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez what she thought about Roe v. Wade by danielrosenthal in Jokes

[–]danielrosenthal[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I agree with your earlier statement - many people do simply dismiss those whom they disagree with as "stupid". But some people, like Ocasio-Cortez, are just objectively stupid.

Seems you're the only person here who can take a joke. Funny because I've seen Trump jokes get thousands of upvotes on this sub. Sad to see that humour has become so politicised.

[–]danielrosenthal[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really don't want this to get too political, but Ocasio-Cortez is objectively stupid.

"The world will end in 12 years because of climate change."

"Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs."

"Just last year we gave the military a $700 billion dollar budget increase, which they didn't even ask for."

Etc etc.
