  • What kind of bubble do you live in? If you take 2 million people, close their airspace, ports and land borders they’re not going to be happy.

    On top of that Israel does the following:

    • imprison kids for throwing rocks at soldiers wearing armor
    • take people’s houses, most recently in Sheikh Jarrah
    • Ban farmers from using water, promise water from other sources and don’t deliver.
    • Close West Bank Airport
    • Settle lands in he West Bank.
    • Make Palestinians go to Military court with 99% conviction rate instead of a civil court.
    • Administrative detetention without giving any reason. (Because classified)
    • Withold evidence from courts that’s used to convict them. (Because classified)
    • Settlements are both within the 1948 borders and even within the Olso accord Green line.
    • Beat people up and throw tear gas that go play at Al-Aqsa mosque.
    • Don’t convict any settlers of violence.
    • Fondle women at check points when they open the trunk of their cars.
    • Limit imports to single item per pallet.
    • Limit work visas.
    • Limit family reunification as a way to immigrate across the border.
    • Random checkpoints that destroy tourism such as in Jericho.
    • Open policy of disproportial response to every reaction the Palestinians have.
    • Raid refugee camps and destroy their roads like in Jenin.
    • Kill journalists that cover the story such as Shireen Abu Akleh
    • Don’t even convict the murdered because he was a soldier.
    • Oh and kill/wound 5% of Gaza, half of which are children, for good measure.

    When people are suffocating because someone has their foot on their throat they react. Nobody should be surprised that Oct 7 happened. Especially after Israel was warned many times that they would do something if they continue raiding one of the holiest sites in Islam.



  • Sorry, meant to reply to a Zionist comment justifying the Genocide. My sincere apologies.

    To actually answer the question:

    The war with Hezbollah is in my opinion likely. It has popular support among the Israelis and Netenyahu has been doing whatever to stave off an election. It’ll still be an enormously costly war which will fill people with regret a couple of months after starting it.

    There’s another angle where he’ll say “If you vote for me I’ll get rid of Hezbollah once and for all like I did with Hamas” and then delay until he can say “Circumstances have changed” which I think is a better move.

    PLEASE ASSUME EVERYTHING BELOW THIS LINE IS OUT OF CONTEXT AND MEANT AS A RESPONSE TO A GENOCIDAL ZIONIST BECAUSE I’M AN IDIOT

  • I’m going to provide a counter-example to disprove. A slot machine is a video game that is not a puzzle since there is no solution.

    I agree with “Most video games are puzzle games” though. There are exceptions like Rail Shooter. Button mash only game. Bullet hell games don’t really have a puzzle element since solution is already shown by areas having no bullets in them.

    I feel like this statement also hinges on “all video game strategy is a puzzle” people might disagree with.






  • That’s a common misconception. The word “barba” in Spanish and “barbaroi” in Greek have distinct origin of the gibberish “bar bar bar” which is apparently how all barbarian speak. Here’s an excerpt from Wikipedia page on barbarians under “Etymology”.

    The Ancient Greek name βάρβαρος (bárbaros) ‘barbarian’ was an antonym for πολίτης (politēs) ‘citizen’, from πόλις (polis) ‘city’. The earliest attested form of the word is the Mycenaean Greek 𐀞𐀞𐀫, pa-pa-ro, written in Linear B syllabic script.

    The Greeks used the term barbarian for all non-Greek-speaking people, including the Egyptians, Persians, Medes and Phoenicians, emphasizing their otherness. According to Greek writers, this was because the language they spoke sounded to Greeks like gibberish represented by the sounds “bar…bar…;” the alleged root of the word bárbaros, which is an echomimetic or onomatopoeic word. In various occasions, the term was also used by Greeks, especially the Athenians, to deride other Greek tribes and states (such as Epirotes, Eleans, Boeotians and Aeolic-speakers) and also fellow Athenians in a pejorative and politically motivated manner. The term also carried a cultural dimension to its dual meaning. The verb βαρβαρίζω (barbarízō) in ancient Greek meant to behave or talk like a barbarian, or to hold with the barbarians.


  • Yeah, that’s exactly why the Imperium should embrace Chaos. Chaos has been advocating for the survival of the Imperium for a long time and are actually the good guys. They got so close with the Horus Heresy but the Imperium, being the conservatives they are, decided that it wouldn’t be the best.

    Chaos will give the Empire the power it needs and usher in a new golden age of prosperity and will bring all those filthy Xenos to heel. The Empire is dying, but for it to live the Emperor needs to die. Death to the false emperor. ☀️
