And "if you're a third party presidential candidate voter, you're doing more to harm Palestinians than if you vote for either genocidal candidate." *The level of gaslighting defies credibility; yet here we all are.

*Quotation marks added for clarity.

Ever since Palestine came to my awareness, I read about horrible things done by "God's chosen race" against the people God also was supposed to have blessed in those ancient scrolls. If yhwh blessed both seeds, you'd think "the chosen ones" who claim they're following the scrolls would stop conveniently leaving out their brothers and sisters as a blessed nation.

When this issue first came to my awareness, I was reading that settlers were still tying torches to fox's tails and loosing them in crops and neighborhoods. WTF?

A month so far. I mean, I'm pretty sure I probably said stuff that was ignorant of actual facts that showed up on other instances and could've been dv'd by, it argued over with them, it's hard to say since my original instance went down and I generally try not to hold grudges, but as long as I've been consciously aware, I don't recall any unpleasantness. But then I'm not going on their instances acting like I know everything just because I read it from a Western or US-centric source. All governments BS their citizens and we never really know to what extents, since *Assange, Snowden, Manning and a bunch of other whistle-blowers were heavily persecuted and prosecuted.

I have been corrected, with credible sources from Western-centric media and had my thinking challenged, but it wasn't disrespectfully, as far as I was aware. They're alright, I've had non -confrontational posts rm’d and been flamed for no good reason by mods and regulars on the biggest instance. Every other instance seems pretty decent, but that's my own experience.

I haven't.

There are a few in my area, one is struggling, but I hope they all make it.

As with McDonald's suing Cargill et al, these are large compounders, not our local, independently owned pharmacies, who could never afford to do so. It's just sad our lives depend on "The Clash of the Titans."

We care. Our owners don't. Hopefully we can shift the course.

Most people in the security industries that I've ever known are keenly interested in privacy, for good reason. There is a reason certain protesting elements *cover their faces and it's not usually for nefarious reasons.

I really like his channel, and he's pretty accurate.

I mean your lived experience isn't automatically everyone else's. In farm country, no one wears a watch, it's dangerous. No one is hanging a wall clock in the kitchen. Food needs to be timed, as well as getting it on the table. Fun fact: a lot of us still prep a smaller meal between lunch and dinner, it generally coincides with UK tea time, or an hour earlier. Farm work is labor intensive and requires more calories. Please comprehend some people have different realities, different needs.

It's almost as if people should be paid enough and have enough PTO to live and enjoy it, as well as vote.

There are lakes, ponds and puddles that exist beyond any particular ocean, if you can grasp the analogy.
