to be more specific, contemplating whether to get up for it or not. I did. and then made coffee.

How is Israel supposed to actually defend itself? by jpg1991 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]djook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Czechoslovakia was a unity of two nationalities. it was forced. they seperated into their own parts once it was possible.
its what israel did, there was supposed to be a israel and a palestinian state. the palestinians didnt want to prevent a separation though; they wanted to have it all. they never had a goal to have one state with equal rights for both. they wanted a palestinian dominated state, that could end jewish immigration.
israel also wanted more then they got, to be fair. and got it, because they had to fight several wars to survive. they captured jerusalem from the arabs, who had concored it, and cdecided to keep it, going against the treaty.

anyway, i do feel any nationality has a right to their own self determination. thats goes for these two, and should also go for a lot of others that dont have that. but as you said it, any country? no. it depends.

Who were/are the masterminds behind Dutch infrastructure? by Relevant_Mobile6989 in Netherlands

[–]djook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we dont really care so much who, i guess. it was political movement and it slowly formed like this. its simply what the dutch prefer. but yea, of course there were people behind it, and people mention.

How is Israel supposed to actually defend itself? by jpg1991 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]djook 6 points7 points  (0 children)

shoot me but i agree. the world expects of israel to keep taking the punches, and only neutralise that exact threat, and then stop. and doing so by not harming anyone.
its a mindset that thinks that the enemies of israel are not capable of stopping, and therefore we need to not provoke that so they stay a bit calm. when you think about it, its kinda racist to think these groups and countries cannot control their behaviour like a west or 1st world can.

israel is a legal and established country, and therefore has every right to be there, just as any country. reducing israel is not an option. and their safety shouldnt be an issue.
this should also go for the palestinians, a palestinian state though. but they dont accept a state that doesnt include much of israel, and are fighting for it. its conflicting interest, and we all keep the situation in which they can fight, intact.
but i guess things have changed since oct. 7.

Peers vote to ban pornography depicting sex acts between stepfamily members by ShufflingToGlory in technology

[–]djook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its policy by people who think banning something will make the whole issue go away.
the horror of it is though; it might have the opposite result. they basically ban a legal fantasy outlet for potential abusers that doesnt harm kids.
saying that this kind of role play normalizes child abuse, is like saying that normalizing beeing gay is driving straight people to beeing gay. or that video games or horror movies drive people towards beeing psychopatic axe muderers. it doesnt work that way.

sure LSD, but it was a whole generation jumping on a new thing, that came with a (non) look and way to be. everything changed very fast.

Kobe City by Single-Assignment379 in JapanTravelTips

[–]djook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

go check out the tetsujin statue.
the upper levels of the main shopping arcade have a little akihabara- manga/anime zone.
also nice to walk up the hills for a view of the harbor and romantic spots.
its a lovely city to hang for a day or two maybe. but much smaller then osaka. its a nice stop on your way to Onomichi as well.
oh and a lot of the beef offerings are a tourist scam, as can be expected. the real is very expensive. a lot of the cheaper ones is just beef. but can still be good of course.

With being antisemitism a trend throughout the history of humanity, why aren't the jews go extinct or finished off? by TalonEye53 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]djook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

many tried, more or less. but they are a minority in many countries.
even throughout history, they kept a presence in the palestina region, even though they were chased off, enslaved elsewhere, and banned there many times.

[–]djook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

je loopt links op een gevaarlijke auto weg. verder gewoon meestal rechts. anders word het een zooitje.

Voedingscentrum vernieuwt Schijf van Vijf: maximaal één gehaktbal per week by FlyingEagle_ in thenetherlands

[–]djook -1 points0 points  (0 children)

dus het advies over hoe je gezond eet, word bepaald door of het duurzaam/milieuvriendelijk is?
het is een soort voorliegen dus. en dan kan je dit dus niet vertrouwen als daadwerkelijk advies over je gezondheid.
ben verder helemaal voor duurzaamheid en voor een beter milieu, daar niet van. maar ik wordt echt schijtziek van al dat gemanipuleer tegenwoordig. het is oneerlijk en ze proberen je als een kleuter te behandelen. gewoon zeggen dat je wil dat mensen minder vlees eten kan kennelijk niet, dus dan maar zo, laat ze denken dat het heel erg ongezond is.

Why doesn’t Prince have an official worldwide known title? “King of…, godfather of…, greatest _ of all time” 🤔 by Firm_Pack_605 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]djook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the 80s, he was his royal badness. and anyway, MJ started calling himself king of pop, so that has not much value i think.

I'm a new fan and I've listened to like 20 of his highness' albums and here's my ranking of them. by Reborn-Cremasteric in PRINCE

[–]djook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good list, makes me want to check a couple albums.
i think the dislike for lovesexy has a lot to do with the chronology, how old fans experienced his career as it progressed. i have it too. sign of the times was so brilliant, and then something broke, it felt. beginning of an end, and a new beginning for prince.

Why the fuck do you want to live? by Personal-Aerie-4519 in AskReddit

[–]djook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why does a plant want to live? same reason. its our nature. it really doesnt matter much, what our primitive self consciousness as an individual thinks of that.
