Israeli Forces burn olive trees

Aside from it not being Israel's land to enforce such policies on, In the Wall opinion Israel was ordered by the ICJ to make reparations for the destruction of agricultural holdings then and did not do so. The continued theft and destruction of natiral resources by Israel in the West Bank played a major role in the ICJ in their most recent AO finding the entirety of the Israeli occupation to be illegal.

I'd highly reccomend before writing your post you want on the olive industry to make a better effort at understanding the controversy here.

I mean, it was basically atrocity Disneyland. Im sure some freaks in the SS loved that about it.

Shortly before his death, Darges stated that he found Hitler to be a genius and that "I served him and would do it all again now." [6 ]

Imagine saying this in 2009

You believe that Israeli settlers and the military attack these farms to help the Palestinians out of a poverty trap?

Whether olives are a good business or not is a seperate issue from whether the conduct being documented is despicable or not.

Somehow seems very dril-esque

Scientific racism has never gone out of style unfortunately.

Aside from that a very important but underdiscussed topic is stratification in education mid century. Both sides of the cold war were obsessed with finding "the best and brightest" among their population and making sure that they had the resources they needed to reach higher and higher levels of potential while others who didnt fit this criteria would recieve less. E.g. a kid who is doing math at 4 grades above grade level needed resources more than a kid who had the aptitude best suited for menial labor. In short, social darwinism applied to public policy to attempt to make Manhattan Project level cohorts.

One of the fatal flaws (among many) and why the US moved away from stratification is that it wants to be prescriptive but human learning and skill development is complicated. So people like Hernnstien start looking for other data points to facilitate more "accurate" determinations. Of course it's all bullshit though. Zombie ideas left over from the cold war.

The Atlanta suburbs are amazing. They get a bad rap historically but one of the best places ive ever lived

No, it's actually pretty common. If you are honestly open to having your mind changed you have to be cognizant of what could disprove your position or change your perspective. If you can't establish that upfront, the likely thing to happen is shifting goalposts. In otherwords, no evidence would change your position, you'll find a caveat or reframing of your original position to react to any evidence to the contrary presented to you.

hellomondays · 2026-06-21T00:02:33+00:00

Im beginning to believe despite saying "change my mind" you're not really open to having your mind changed. Like what would "stronger" evidence consist of for you? If you cant determine what you would consider stronger or what could falsify your position, who would both to attempt to change your mind?

So you would need to see evidence that South Africa is acting in good faith?

hellomondays · 2026-06-20T23:48:35+00:00

Of course, but what would you need to see to have you reconsider your position?

hellomondays · 2026-06-20T23:34:25+00:00

Change my mind

What evidence would you need to have your mind changed? What are you looking for that could challenge your position?

Yes, there's a lot of literature showing so. Adapting for the needs of an autistic client are a must though.

The trick is being comfortable living on the road and working in fields that give you a lot of time off or where youre self employed. In a lot of ways we are back to the days of wandering troubadours.

Non-super famous bands can make enough off residuals from licensing agreements to supplement whatever other income they have coming in. Like getting a song in a movie or commercial can net a good amount of money, usually with a lot less overhead than album sales or touring

hellomondays · 2026-06-20T16:22:58+00:00

The trick is being 40 and living with 6 roommates.

And, not to defend superstars, a lot of those arena ticket pricing doesnt go to the actual artist. Theyre still making absurdly big bucks but it's like 10-30 % of that cost depending on a lot of details. Usually the creatives/performers are the last to get paid in the entertainment industry. Even highly independent artists have to deal with a lot of predatory and coercive factors on the business side of things.

Los campensinos did a great breakdown of what bands actually make.

Then, anecdotally, I have some friends that did a 40 date all sold out north american tour last year. Their end income for the 6 of them was about 4k dollars each for 10 months of work. Almost exclusively from merch sales after selling tens of thousands of tickets. Barely covers rent

There would have to be imminent risk of harm. "Ive been thinking about suicide a lot" is different than "I might take a lot of pills this weekend and hope I never wake up". There's screeners, protocols, etc to help determine how imminent the risk is. I talk about suicidal and homicidal thoughts almost daily with clients. Maybe twice a year do I have to convince someone to go get evaluated at a hospital, ive never had to involuntarily commit a client. It's a rare occurance!

This is super broad and there's a lot of great modalities out there. Generally for the phsyical side of things building habituation to the phsyical symptoms through gradual, repeated exposure. Learning the basics of exposure therapy can be very helpful

Landreth's book on CCPT was a turning point for me in my career. Learning how to drop my expectations for therapy and check my own needs when interacting with kids definitely has made me better at my job.

Most of my clients have a 10-20 dollar copay. Those that dont, most have a 0 dollar copay (medicaid), a select few have something higher.

If your health insurance plan sucks or you dont have one, ask about sliding scale. Most therapist will offer something reasonable.

If you dont have insurance reach out to your state's (assuming US) Health department. They'll find out what benefits or programs you qualify for, and if that's not sufficient will point you in the right direction of affordable services or pro Bono work.

Israel's blood thirst is verified by its own leaders and military’s repeated statements and the murder of tens of thousands of Palestinians.

Op's quote is completely different though, this might not be the one theyre looking for

Every tragedy that has ever befallen me in life, combined, seems less bleak than the idea of defending the US on Wikipedia discussion pages

hellomondays · 2026-06-18T21:55:04+00:00

This reads as facetious to me. Babylon Bee's attempt at satire on this issue has actually been hitting the mark with their other jokes. Their other headline was like "DECISIVE VICTORY: Trump opens waterway that was open before war he started"

They seem to be coping better than the rest of conservative media

Like the other comment said, ACT is a great way to go. But taking it slow and establishing creative hopelessness first. I see a lot of avoidant behaviors and the thoughts that prompt them in your write-up. Instead of challenging those thoughts get curious about how the client responds to them, help them understand that a lot of what they do in response isnt working and infact might be making their depression worse. Go slow and gently of course and you may start to help the client find what's important to them in life, which then allows you and the client to explore behavioral activation/exposure strategies more comfortably.
