I do not know how “ignore the advice if it doesn’t apply to you” could be any more clear in the actual post we’re commenting on, and in my comment.

It sounds like you’re unhappy in your job and need an outlet, but being neurodivergent and unable to go for a walk isn’t really it.

Starbucks-like drink

???

I mean Starbucks coffee tastes like extra-burnt charcoal I’ll give you that, but I don’t think an iced latte is a far out drink or anything…

Then the advice is not for you, and you should ignore it. OP clearly said it’s for people who work from home and never leave (guilty).

You can’t make bean soup if you don’t have beans.

No wonder Michelle Obama doesn’t show up to Presidential events anymore if she doesn’t have to.

I sent this post to my friend. His response:

Schrodinger’s Brat is a great username.

Now respond to the rest of my comment. You didn’t even read it, did you.

No. I’m done. I’ve just realized that the Palestinian genocide to people like you is nothing but a thought experiment. I refuse to engage with someone who uses the actual plight of the Palestinians as a gotcha against Americans while not even participating in the political systems here.

Focus on your own country, because unless you’re from South Africa, you probably have a non-zero number of politicians who support Israel as well. This is not a fucking spectator sport.

Actually, I just read one of your other comments, and you know what’s extra bullshit? The fact that you’re telling people you’re not even American, but you’re still trying to justify why people shouldn’t have voted for Harris.

Under previous administrations, Palestinians in the United States were able to claim refugee status for their relatives and get them out of Gaza.

Now, that’s gone.

The news cycle were able to report on everything going on in Gaza, and have people paying attention to the actual atrocities happening (never mind what’s happening in Sudan and Congo).

Now, Trump and Elon dominate the news cycle.

So many people were willing to donate to Gofundme’s for the people in Gaza to help them cross the border to Jordan/Egypt, or have enough money to at least buy food/shelter/medical treatment and survive until the ceasefire.

Now, people are losing their jobs or in such economic uncertainty DUE TO THE DIRECT ACTIONS OF THE TRUMP ADMIN there is no extra money for mutual aid.

The fact that your idealogical purity stance FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY has destroyed so much of the mutual aid mechanism surrounding Gaza and you don’t even realize it is the most tragic part. I do digital infrastructure work pro bono for an organization that helps Doctors Without Borders, and guess what? The employees there have been furloughed due to the USAID freeze.

So yeah, Kamala and DonElon…totally the same fucking thing, right?

Now tell me - keeping that state of mind and empathy - **what fucking difference does it make that Kamala “vocally supported an end to the war”?** Can you tell me right now - concretely and materialistically, no vague bullshit - how things were/would be better for Palestinians under the Dems? I’ve asked this question so many times and have never gotten an answer that wasn’t just vague abstract BS like “but Trump said”.

This is the easiest lob you could give me. It’s because HISTORICALLY it has been easier to get organized and get Dems to change their minds than it will ever be under Trump. His son-in-law Jared Kushner has been openly talking about beach front property in Gaza over the last year and courting land development deals.

If you think Kamala Harris would have gone on the news with Netenyahu and said she was going to use the AMERICAN MILITARY TO TAKE GAZA, you are actually out of your mind. Once again, I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY’S POSITION. I DO NOT THINK THEY ARE DOING RIGHT BY THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE. But we were already seeing movement regarding limiting arms and funds to Israel, and Biden’s ceasefire. The public backlash was actually gaining momentum into the House. We were seeing congress people speaking out against Netenyahu and the Biden administration getting both internal and external pressure for a pause in arms.

And then, boom, Trump elected.

There is actually no hope for a free Palestine under Trump and a Republican House and Congress. They don’t care about optics, they don’t care about international relations, they will use all the military and money they have to make sure that Israel becomes the “holy land” they need for their Christofascist rapture.

I agree with you. To anyone who still pretends Trump and Kamala were equally terrible with regard to Palestine: Kamala vocally supported an end to the war* and a two-state solution**, a prevailing US diplomatic philosophy. Please watch what Trump said tonight— it is so much worse than that. He advocates for the full removal of Palestinian people from their homeland.

*it is a genocide and not a war, I disagree with her.

**a two-state solution is not adequate as long as Israel continues to act as it does currently. Free Palestine. I disagree with her.

Yeah, I don’t understand how people are confused about this. We KNOW from his last term that the Russians have kompromat on MANY Republicans, or just outright own them. Did everyone forget all the Republican senators flying to Russia together to meet with Putin?

If you view Trump and Co.'s actions from Putin’s POV, it makes a lot of sense.

I saw a photo of a father crying over the body of his baby that died of hypothermia. That child didn’t even make it to double digit months lived on this Earth. It was born and died in war.

How the fuck are people allowing this to go on anymore…

sees himself as a defender of classical western virtues

-reads the “Relationships” section of his Wikipedia page-

Interesting. How does one develop this kind of delusion…

Probably playing off of this part of the article:

"[…] I discarded the argument that scholars haven’t reached a conclusion on whether the Gaza genocide is really taking place”, Marshall wrote in his decision.

-puts on tinfoil hat- Is this why we’re suddenly getting so many remasters/remakes?

-takes off hat- No, it’s probably because the corporate gaming industry is creatively bankrupt and want to cash in on nostalgia with minimal risk. But remakes/remasters probably strengthen the “market harm” portion of their argument.
