We can argue about about how long you can squat someone’s house before it’s morally acceptable to keep living in it, and how much the crimes of the parents transfer to the children (if at all), and those are conversations that require some nuance.
However, specifically when it comes to Israel, you have to remember that the state was established within living memory. Many of the stolen houses were stolen by people living in them right now, and they’re actively being stolen. You frame it as a completed and long past action done by our forefathers, but this isn’t really accurate. It’s an actively ongoing process, right?
The problem is that there has already been very heavy meddeling, for as long as the Israeli state has existed. In fact, the existence of the state is a direct result of that exact outside meddling.
It’s not exactly ‘fair’ to put someone in another’s house, give them a gun and then say “further meddling is not allowed”.
Besides, no country can practically exist without “outside meddling”. What about international trade? If you trade with groups aligned with one side but not the other, is that meddling? What about diaspora? There’s a lot of displaced Palestinians and a lot of Jews who would both like to move into the same place. This has to be in part facilitated by the host countries, right? And there are many other small and large decision you have to make.
What you’re asking for is:
That’s true, and I did consider them, but that’s still driven primarily by living Jews still, I think.
There are (unfortunately) significantly fewer Jews than if the Holocaust never happened. The same cannot be said about gay people. Jewish people come from other Jewish people. Gay people come from straight people ‘spontaneously’.


What if you build it on an asteroid or moon or planet. Uranus is ~-225⁰C, right?
The only way to create wealth is via work, e.g., income. It’s not a perfect measure, I concede, since wealth is static and can accumulate over time. However, I think we can still use it as a rough estimation of stolen income over time.
However, this source claims there is a 70% gap between wages and produced value. That roughly matches the number I gave.
The top 10% of households hold 67% of all wealth. If we assume that every worker produces roughly the same value, that implies ⅔ of value produced by the average worker is being taken.
Of course, 33% is not 15%, but I’d say it’s roughly in the ballpark. And in certain cases, there are definitely workers who are exploited to that level.


It wouldn’t be the first time the USA has employed the “Imma strike you, but if you strike back you’re a peace hating savage” tactic. They’ve done it several times already. For any country that acts diplomatically in good faith, it puts you in quite a tough spot. If you strike back (especially if you strike back harder), then you’re risking escalations, but if you do nothing, then your enemy has gotten a free strike in.


Lots of scientific progress was made before the capitalist mode of production, so “laboring to produce capital” is anachronistic.
The core point you’re making is correct though. Only certain classes of people (rich people and monks) were freed up by the surplus of production of what is required to sustain life.
If you assume the flags stand for official government positions, then this meme makes sense. This is further supported by the fact that normal people don’t think in terms of “one China policy” (like the post’s title implies) but rather in terms of “unification”, as you wrote.
The joke is that deaf people have been farting freely, thinking nobody could know they tooted. It’s the fact other people know that’s important here.


We cannot know, in the same way we cannot know that it doesn’t contain code that is hand-written on graph paper and scanned in via OCR.
The standards for code submissions for the kernel are extremely high, and their review process very strict and complete. There are no barriers stopping LLM generated code from entering the code base, but the barrier of entry for the code quality itself is so high that you have to submit code at the quality of a seasoned and competent engineer.
Ultimately, does it matter that the code was LLM written if the quality is sufficiently high?


The problem with this approach is twofold.


People with ADHD can only work on tasks if they are one of the following:
This is probably why Habitica fell off for you. The novelty wore off.
I myself have had decent success with the ‘Pomodoro’ technique (work for 20 minutes, break for 5 minutes. Repeat that 4 times, then have a long break). Alternatively, perhaps you could add ‘urgency’ by setting a daily alarm which means you have to clean right then?


I think you forgot how many absolutely trash games were being made.
There’s no way that the first victim that comes to mind to someone who is serious about this would be ‘landlords’. This is a truly sad tyre.


The websites have different (more) safeguards than the APIs do, so bots will operate on different rules.
People across the world already very well know that Trump is unpopular. That is not the problem. The problem is that you guys continue to just allow that guy to run your country.
As long as there isn’t massive civil unrest in the country, it looks like from an outside perspective as if you’re just letting him do whatever he wants without much resistance. Writing some insults isn’t going to change that perspective.
