Palestinians plead ‘stop the bombs’ at UN meeting but Israel insists Hamas must be ‘obliterated’
  • Dude, people are living their live. Israel chose to bomb their homes. Why is the Israel government and (some) people in the country such idiots for not finding better way to avoid harming civilians? Why are they attacking despite knowing it's mostly killing civilians? Why are these murderous attackers so incompetent and heartless?

  • Tsingtao: Video shows Chinese beer worker urinating into tank
  • You must have never dealt with Chinese tourists. It's not racism as much as directly observable behaviour of many Chinese tourists, especially towards other Asians or black people. It shouldn't be surprising that many people in mainland China are radicalised, and it comes as no surprise that's how they behave outside their country.

  • Apparently Elon scrubbed the Maine shooter’s Twitter account, because Elon was frequently featured in his view history
  • Well it's not a matter of just this guy, but also normal people who aren't criminals, extremists, or politicians. While still awful, it's one thing to use that info for profit by giving other companies access to it. It's another thing to make it accessible to just about anyone.

    That said I don’t use Twitter so do people use it like a diary?

    No point asking me, I never use Twitter either.

  • It's because the incompetent PM made the visa free for mainland Chinese. It's going to get a lot worse in Thailand.

    The culture is the problem and the CCP insistent on keeping outdated traditions and social values keeps them in the past. China cultural values went to shit ever since the cultural revolution and the government has done nothing to better it, only doubling down and adding more problematic beliefs. There were needs to be selfish and to deceive for survival, but with the kind of government the CCP is instead of that slowly going away after the worst is over you have that continue to be ingrain into future generations to the point it becomes an identity. Then add the contemporary dose of propaganda and the sudden increase in progress and you have the superiority complex.

  • Elon Musk and the Infinite Rebuy | the richest man in the world is nothing but the world's biggest case of survivorship bias - and a profound indictment of capitalism's "great man" theory
  • “The kids were each given small rations of food and water, and they were allowed—indeed encouraged— to fight over them. (…) Near the end of the first week the boys were divided into two groups and told to attack each other. (…) Every few years, one of the kids would die.”

    The heck is this cliche straight out of anime and games. Even those have the sensibility to not portray something like this as a positive.

  • How do you walk the line between not wanting to impose on the host and understanding they want the space to show their hospitality?

    And when money is involved, what's your approach to not make it turns into an endless awkward back and forth because both sides want to pay?

    Can slow songs be a banger?

    My understanding of the word banger is it's reserved for good songs. There are many good slow songs as well, but the word banger seems to imply something more intense and bombastic. So, is it appropriate to describe slow songs as a banger?
