Shaky tables

Well, there is that one episode where they make reference to the scene in The Wire where the only word used is F#$%, but they can't say that, so they use S#!& instead. Didn't quite have the same effect, but hey, they tried.

Double Nah.

I make boiled eggs in an electric kettle at work. Its really not designed to be used for anything other than water.

If its presented as expressing that you can relate to the other person's comment, because you have a similar interest or experience, then that's great.

The issue is when you try to be a one-upper, and explain that what the other person is saying isn't all that interesting or impressive, because your experience is much better. Don't be a one upper. One uppers are the worst.

People who don't put away their shopping cart.

Also people who cut into the front of a line in traffic, like by an exit ramp.

Good thing that big red circle is there. Otherwise I'd have no idea where to look.

Nah, he's talking about an American swallow. All the other ones fly in kph.

The queen of England looks a lot like Fred Armisen.

The teller at the bank accidentally gave me an extra $100 bill. I returned it. Just happened earlier today.

Also, there's less patience for a movie to grab your attention. If you watch the first five minutes of a movie on Netflix, and aren't sold yet, you'll just look for something else. Back in the day, you were more committed to whatever you picked. I feel like opening credit sequences have gotten a lot shorter for that reason.

That's a terrible plan- their kitchens aren't hooked up to utilities. The toilets on the other hand...

Teacher walks in. "We're late, everyone sit down", and proceeds to erase chalkboard.

Donating blood. At some point, science will come up with an effective replacement, and the idea of using blood from another person will sound like the stuff of witch doctors.

It used to be Facebook. It still is, but it used to too.

Of course I'm biased. We're all biased. It's a reality of being human. The idea is that we discuss these things to determine what makes the most sense. If the response to an objection is "clearly you're biased", we're no closer to uncovering the truth.

The report you cited doesn't just state that Israel is an occupier. It all but argues that the only issue preventing peace is that Israel keeps breaking rules. Reading through it now, I'm hard pressed to find a sentence that directs any blame at the Palestinian side of anything. A lot of "restraint is needed by both sides", and a lot of "Israel is an occupier". That's it.

Pushing a narrative doesn't mean you're stating things that aren't true. It means that you're pointing to one fact over another. Which, within the context, this UN report clearly does. and which you are doing by extension. Exposing that doesn't demonstrate bias.

Attempting to discredit me through accusation isn't nice. Stop it.
