@kilovh Seems pretty straightforward

[David D. @c00l_dave]

@kilovh Ah, but it's habit forming and counterproductive in the long term. Still, I agree there are few other pharmaceutical products that get the job done so effectively and so quickly.

@JacobAShell @coldreadz Season 4 was incredible. Probably the best season. Only Season 5 was weak, and it was the last one.

@WitnessAngels @benforta @MaxNordau What is the native language of America and how many people speak it? If there are many, feel free to pick just one.

@noam_dworman I hope you will release the audio version on podcast apps, which is much easier for me to consume than youtube. Either way, thanks for your work.

@3lfares @paskeszc How do you understand the anti-Israel sentiment among the non-Palestinian Arabs, if it is not about religion? If it's about concern for expulsions, where is the pan-Arab outrage over displacements (and worse) of Assyrians, Kurds, Yazidis?

@PAHoyeck It's been a while since I read it, but that's how I remember feeling. Maybe the virtual reality sections slow it down? But I have special interests in both virtual reality and in ancient civilizations so those sections were exciting for me.

@yassineltruhan @doingjustttfine @estherzelda0514 >they are the ones who came to Palestine looking for vulnerable folks to rob them of their ancestral land

That is the cartoonish part.

[David D. @c00l_dave]

@yassineltruhan @doingjustttfine @estherzelda0514 You can continue to view everything in one-dimensional cartoon framing but it is primarily to your own detriment

[David D. @c00l_dave]

@yassineltruhan @doingjustttfine @estherzelda0514 Well, it's their problem if they continue to fatally misunderstand the nature of their enemy

[David D. @c00l_dave]

@doingjustttfine @estherzelda0514 If they could have gone wherever, far fewer of them wouldve chosen Palestine. Your one-dimensional reading of this history makes you an ineffective opponent of zionism, and much worse, a poor advocate for Palistinian liberation and welfare. Know your enemy better.

[David D. @c00l_dave]

@doingjustttfine @estherzelda0514 And that my "out-of-context screenshot" doesn't prove much at all was exactly my point. Neither do yours

[David D. @c00l_dave]

@doingjustttfine @estherzelda0514 You dodged mine first. Whatever Herzl might have said to garner support for his nationalist project, most of the Yishuv in 1947 were comprised not of ideologues but of refugees with no other options.

[David D. @c00l_dave]

@doingjustttfine @estherzelda0514 We can play this game all day but history is not comprised of quotes alone

[David D. @c00l_dave]

@doingjustttfine @estherzelda0514 Most of them came with the express intent of not being killed in pogroms or the holocaust or wasting away in DP camps. And the civil war started before 48. Nobody was displaced before that war started, and you know who started it.
