No one cares how smart Israel thinks they are. Or has any interest in watching them pat themselves on the back for what amounts to a massive distributed terrorist attack. And it would be labeled as such if Muslims did it.

I’m pretty sure the people who are keeping thousands of kids under 10 in maximum security prisons where they are raped by dogs are the good guys here. You’re right!

Also bombing Gaza into oblivion is clearly not terorism either


A country doing things you don't like, even terrorism, doesn't make every action they do terrorism or any and all criticisms justified.


Sounds like communism to me.


It's more like the free market, but with all of the market failures, parasites and bad actors that implies too


I wouldn't say that. There's plenty of behaviors where plants and fungi act in the interest of the community as a whole. Mature forests are made of late-successional species. These species could only possibly grow after earlier succession species had "prepped the soil" (nurtured the soil ecology, transitioned the nitrogen cycle from ammonia to nitrates, etc) and provided shade to allow them to grow. Since these trees are dependent on the well being of so many other species there is plenty of incentive for them to act in ways that we might call "selfless"


I think it would be be more illuminating to call it "enlightened self-interest".


Ah yes, the old "rule utilitarianism collapses into act utilitarianism"

I don't completely agree but it's a better position that what's currently dominant


Which is a far cry away from the “free market” we see in the west.

Wild how I got downvoted for stating a pretty obvious fact. Long term planning and self sacrifice in the interest of long term community benefit which transfers to one’s future self / progeny is actually very similar to communism.

Fuck me I guess


This time is different, though. Self improving AI = infinite money.


They’re just outsourcing their censorship.


TIL running over people with bulldozers and sexual torture and wanton slaughter of children are “misdeeds”.

I would hate to know what they consider a war crime.


To be fair, the article describes the non-violent incidents that generated international shock versus the more-quotidian horribleness that has characterized the occupation.


Don't forget deliberate shooting of international aid workers.

Or the fact that more journalists have been killed in Gaza since 2024 than in all conflicts on the planet since WW2 (including WW2).


Eager to know how many journalists Hamas has.


Did you hear about that they teach dogs to rape prisoners though?

It's a widely-sourced report. They hold down handcuffed prisoners and let the dogs loose on them.


Don't forget they will celebrate any prison guards caught on video facilitating said dog rape as national heroes. Even rioting to make sure they are released from captivity. Truly a civilized society.


HBO’s Silicon Valley looks more and more like a documentary every day. The out of touch antics of Gavin Belson or Peter Gregory are fucking spot on.


I’ve noticed I really need to keep alcohol and sugar consumption in check. Sometimes it seems like one drink is enough to kick off a gut ecosystem collapse, and other times my gut is more resistant to the effects. Definitely trying to increase fiber consumption significantly.


How are you judging the impact of things on your gut/microbiome?


Toilet visits?


How is one judging a "gut ecosystem collapse" from toilet visits?


Loose and unsatisfying stool?


How do you know that is a “gut ecosystem collapse” as opposed to hypermotility? Or an overgrowth of the gut ecosystem? Or a problem with the intestinal lining?

Observing that if you eat/drink something specific then you get the shits is valid. Concluding that it is due to a specific mechanism is not valid unless you have something objective like a test supporting that.

It’s like if your train is late and you just conclude that it must be because the steam condenser’s gasket is leaking based on nothing. Maybe true, or maybe the conductor broke his leg, or there is a signaling failure.


Ummm…because all of those symptoms you listed are symptoms of gut dysbiosis…?

Why do you need to know what the mechanism is to avoid mistakes? - if something fucks you, don’t do it.

Encourage others to do the same.

Not a controversial take!

“But what if it’s a big hoax and we create solid stools for nothing?”


Seriously, though!

This demand for peer-reviewed evidence in place of observation of known and basic mechanisms is out of control.


If you drop an ACME 100Kg anvil on your foot, you get a broken foot, and you can conclude "this fucked me, I won't do it again". But if you say "I suffered foot ecosystem collapse" and people ask you what that means and how you identified it, whinging about how people should stop asking stupid questions because all bad things are bad therefore they must be the same thing, is not helping anyone.


Except, you intentionally replied up here, and not down below,

where you’d have to reply to “well-understood and basic mechanisms” being ignored.

Including the ones we know inhibit a healthy diverse microbiome!

Sticking with your chosen example:

If you lean an anvil on your foot, and start suffering from poor circulation or discoloration of the foot, remove the anvil.


> therefore they must be the same thing

Also, this bit is a non-factual read (don’t put words in my mouth, mate, I choose them carefully).

An uncharitable, bad-faith interpretation at best.


With IBS-D every meal can result in a loose and unsatisfying stool output! Don't ask me how I know. GLP-1s actually make a hell of a difference for me.


Simple starches and sugars (the former being rapidly converted into the latter) are probably the most harmful ingredient once we exclude actual poisons. And they’re just as normalized with most food being primarily composed of them, even though normal people barely need them.


Well if they don’t want to get defunded they better start doing their jobs. Not that they were all that useful in the first place. If your house is getting broken into the cops will not be able to help you. So I don’t know what the big deal is about defunding the police. It’s not clear to me what the money is being used for.


Oh fantastic, exactly what we need. More monopolization in the utility sector.
