Meh, an RGB notification LED was still much more glanceable. I agree that it's somewhat redundant, but I had OLED phones with notif LEDs and it was still nice.

By implementing a hair policy that excludes styles and lengths which are clearly a part of black culture and a way of expressing identity in America, the policy is racist. Whether or not the intent was racism, it still has the effect, making it a racist policy. It can also be discriminatory towards queer people and other cultures.

If you want a book, 100 Years War on Palestine does an excellent job going over everything up to 2017.

Very in-depth, full picture of everything that's happened from 1917 (what just about everyone considers to be the beginning of the modern conflict), including errors and crimes committed by both sides. The author is Palestinian and obviously not neutral, but is far from extremist, and comes at things with a historical/academic rigor.

There are many other books/resources of course, but at least as far as getting a decent idea of what actually happened thus far, it's a very good history of the conflict, major players and the geopolitics associated.

I’m not sure why they continue to try fighting

Oppression breeds resistance.

So I recently went to the effort to actually read some books on the situation there.

This event, and any like it, are inexcusable war crimes. Atrocious acts that cannot be justified. There have been countless war crimes on both sides of this war, unfortunately for not just the two countries involved but all the other people and countries that have been in the way (Lebanon, for one).

But these actions ARE the direct result of the oppression and genocides the Palestinian people have endured for the last century. Hamas actually had many members who advocated against such methods and well-connected members who made many attempts to negotiate through diplomatic channels, but thanks in large part to concerted propaganda efforts in the US by Israel, the war crimes committed by Israel are rarely reported as war crimes, at least in sources that most Americans would read. The Zionist movement from the start was well-funded and well-connected, and took advantage of that and their US propaganda to shut any Palestinian groups out of democratic/diplomatic channels.

Again, I'm not trying to excuse or be dismissive of the situation at hand - this is a completely inhumane, unforgivable act that makes me sick to my stomach to read about.

But I also KNOW that Israel committed war crimes last night just based on the retaliatory statements they were making - it echoes EERILY statements made by Israeli leaders prior to some of the most horrific war crimes of this war. And I know that many of those war crimes will probably go undocumented/unreported.

And again, not to justify anything, but to bring perspective: nearly 11,000 Palestinians have died in the war since 2000, to about 1,500 Israelis, and that doesn't consider the Palestinians jailed or the many ways they are oppressed in their own land.

"You can only kick a dog so much before it snaps" - doesn't mean a dog biting a kid that didn't kick it is okay, but it biting the kid is still attributable to the abuse it endured which caused it to go feral.

I mean, too bad. You're accessing the results of your genetic data that contain sensitive personal information on relatives as well as yourself. Banks require 2FA, and people figure out how to use that.

Also grew up in a super religious family (homeschooled pk) and joined TST 4 years ago.

IMO brainwashing children from the time they're born into a religion that spreads hate is wrong.

Even from a conservative perspective it's fucking stupid. Your job as a parent is to help your kid learn how to navigate the real world, which SURPRISE has gay people in it.

As a long-time Windows user, things like settings or notifications are laid out much more logically, as well as I feel like everything in KDE is just a little better integrated than Gnome. Also a lot faster for me to get it to a point where I feel like I like it, and it seems to use a lot less system resources (although it's been a couple years since I daily'd linux, so it's possible that's different on Gnome these days).

But otherwise I don't have a whole lot of specifics, it just feels a lot more mature in general, like I don't have to search for anything I need DE-wise, it's always right where I'd expect and extremely well-built. And any extra functionality from add-ins works nicely.

When you think about it, at that point at least the rich are spending their money again in order to buy another yacht, actually putting money into the economy.

It's like trickle down economics, but we gotta shoot some holes in the water tower to make it trickle down.

And giving the guy a little hand action

My guy I just peeped ur profile. All u do is tell people they're unintelligent or how they're spreading propaganda.

Not once have you made an actual intelligent point or thoughtful comment that adds to a discussion. Not once have you showed how what you're responding to is propaganda. Not once have you actually attempted to reason with the person you are responding to.

If you smell shit everywhere you go, check ur fuckin shoes.
