  • Why are the Palestinians so fucking stubborn to negotiate in good faith and to bring some sort of peace and conclusion to this bloodshed? Aren’t they tired of killing and destruction? Perhaps they could build something great. It’s the same fucking story all the time. Nobody cares anymore. You only get so many chances before you’re the problem. Like the saying goes, “If you go through your day and you meet an asshole. You’ve met an asshole. If all you meet are assholes, then maybe you’re the asshole.” They’re the asshole. There’s an insane cognitive dissonance there. Like shit and get off the pot, actually sue for peace, actually try to do something instead of sending idiots to slaughter.











  • Better real time engagement. Think of it like your own personal news ticker or curated radio station with updates. I used it to get updates from sporting events when I didn’t necessarily have access to a radio/tv and couldn’t watch/ listen to a game, etc. because I was indisposed, at a function, movie, etc.I had a whole host of journalists, personalities, and people that would basically/ practically give me play by play and keep me informed of what was going on. It was actually truly great. Twitter isn’t even close to what it once was.

    Edit: wanted to add that you could think of Facebook as the modern rolodex at the time, still actually, while Twitter is/was more suitable for more real time engagement. Reddit sort of became the substitute for that up until they disastrously decided to shut down 3rd party apps. Now the site/subreddits are getting garbage content and it’s a ghost town. Most subreddits I was on are barely getting anything orany posts anymore. Lemmy is definitely filling the void. I mean, at least it has usable apps.
