Read the article, the world did not say it's a genocide nor did they suggest a ceasefire - you've been caught up in emotive memes probably largely pushed by Russia et all and are using headlines you don't understand but like the sound of.

Picking the most emotive term for everything has a very short lived power, everything is a genocide these days according to someone.

The reality is it's a very complex situation with many facets, it's an asymmetric war with very well funded and trained terrorists getting support from Iran and other fundamentalist groups - it's not a small group of innocent people in an open air prison as you want to paint it, there's a huge oil rich and bloody handed gang of despots who maintain power much like any despot by distracting everyone with ideological conflicts - Iran needs the region to hate Israel so they need a war like this, they get their trained terrorists to fire missiles they supply and that's all they care about.

Israel has been making great progress politically in the region, the deal supplying Jordan with desalinated water transformed a crisis everyone predicted to be the start of the water wars into a partnership. With Saudi Arabia moving towards similar partnerships countries like Iran didn't want to sit idle and outy happen. How should Israel and it's allies respond?

I guess my brain works differently, I couldn't just ignore the fact that the animal I'm eating did have the personality of a real living cow or chicken, cows sing and play, they're curious and friendly and make friends - chickens mostly just recognise me as someone who carries food to them but they have personalities and emotions when you get to know them. I know that about them so if I was going to eat one of them I'd think about that and think about the brutality of their life and death.

Code is just code. It is (so far) just a series of logic choices that determine which pixel to light up or how fast to vibrate the speaker - it might look like personality but when you kill it there is no fear in it or pain, it doesn't feel anything when you kill it's children or it's friends. I guess I just see numbers when I look at a video game, when I look at a chicken nugget I see real suffering and real death

You're literally arguing 'this has no uses and anyone who says otherwise is a meany' what is anyone supposed to do but laugh at you?

Interesting, you say you can't not eat meat but it disgusts you to think of a cartoon animal be being killed, I've literally never eaten meat and have a pet chicken which was rescued from being slaughtered after being in a better farm but I see it as silly fun when a game simulates it.

Do you think it's the fact that it forces you to think of the reality that a really lovely and cute creature that does silly little jumps to get your attention and has a real personality is being killed just for you chicken nuggets?

In case it was missed I'm suggesting that there are anti Semitic people who want that, obviously I don't

I tried timelapse it's pretty interesting but motion detection was better, using motion on a raspberry pi allows you to combine both if you want.

We have it here in the UK and it's pretty shitty, closest time out came to working we had a coalition government where the liberal democrats campaigned on leftwing values then helped the Tories get in power and did the opposite of everything they'd promised. We also get strings of prime ministers running the country for a few weeks while they give their friends free money then quit when their actual criminal crimes are discovered so the next etonian can have a turn

The reality is he has very little power over the events people are upset about but a lot of power over other important things he's doing fairly well at.

There is no good choice in the Middle East, if he pulled out of the historical agreements with Israel and left them defenceless then he'd get even more people blaming him for a genocide, or the US would have to step in directly when the amount of dead Israelies reached a point public opinion demanded it...

People already complain that Israel created Hamas and when you look into those arguments they stem from articles saying that in prior conflicts Israel has stopped before completely defeating them.. this is a situation with no good move. Even if some people got their wish and all the Jewish people were killed it's not going to solve all the issues in the region, the current situation is possibly the path with the least amount of human tragedy and suffering that we have available.

I mean yeah most people kinda assume that their private conversations are private, hopefully this will help more people aware that corporations and governments are spying on us all

People don't want to admit the complexity of the situation they just want to feel special because they know the solution - except when you ask them about it of course, like if the iron dome stops working because Israel can't afford to maintain it and the idf can't afford to defend the country then do we just sit back and watch the Jewish people get murdered?

Would that genocide be ok? Or do we wait for the right amount of dead bodies before we do something to help? And what would we do to help? Everything would be far more expensive and bloody then what's happening now

But of course that's ok because they'll be against anything bad that happens and shake their head at the innaction that led to it

I've never eaten meat in my life and still feel bad about accidentally sucking a little spider into the vacuum a few weeks ago but I much prefer it to Pokémon because it's saying 'oh this cute little sheep? You can kill it and it's horrible and cruel but it's ok because it's a game' where as Pokémon says 'oh this adorable little guy? Yeah beat him up, capture him and force him to fight for you entertainment, it's super cool and cute and fun just like in real life!'

(Note the only Pokémon game I played was on a Gameboy emulator in the 90s, I've also not played this but it does look more fun than Pokémon)
