They’ve been using these for years already in Gaza, but the more coverage the better

This and LD is still the best new-trek imo

I feel like a see a new low every week, and no end to that trend in sight

I’d definitely watch that.

Even tho its a long movie, it did feel short and fast after reading the book lol

The seven seas rewards patience 🏴‍☠️

Janeway did nothing wrong

puts doubt on ever walking on the moon again

Well, for the American space program at least. Not for as long as the US continues to drastically underfund NASA since isn’t as useful in weapons manufacturing nowadays.

China is still underway to land astronauts on the moon by 2030 from what I can see, and I’d bet they aren’t anywhere near as underfunded as NASA has been

It’s never too late to find a time warp to go back a few decades. The holos just don’t hit the same

More traumatic than beserk or dororo?

That’s disrespectful to tupac

Capitalism personified

The Israeli Occupying Force is a more accurate description

Yes, Knowing Better has done a great analysis on such

Israel is just a new face on conflict that is ancient.

No, that’s a bullshit and an insidious myth used to justify and normalize the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians

• The Birth of Israel Myths and Realities - Simha Flapan

The Zionists not only sought to colonize Palestine but, as Pappe shows, “…it also hoped to secularize the Jewish people, to invent the ‘new Jew’ in antithesis to the religious Orthodox Jews of Europe… The Orthodox Jew was ridiculed by the Zionists, and was viewed as someone who could only be redeemed through hard work in Palestine… The role of the Bible within Jewish life offered one further clear difference between Judaism and Zionism… the Bible provided ‘the myth for our right over the land.’ It was in the Bible that they read stories about Hebrew farmers, shepherds, kings, and wars, which they appropriated as describing the ancient golden era of their nation’s birth. Returning to the land meant coming back to become farmers , shepherds and kings. Thus, they found themselves faced with a challenging paradox, for they wanted both to secularize Jewish life and to use the Bible as a publication for colonizing Palestine. In other words, though they did not believe in God, He had nonetheless promised them Palestine.”

In reality, Pappe believes, “…the takeover of the West Bank in particular, with its ancient biblical sights, was a Zionist aim even before 1948 and it fitted the logic of the Zionist project as a whole. This logic can be summarized as the wish to take over as much of Palestine as possible with as few Palestinians as possible… After the occupation, the new ruler confined the Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in an impossible limbo: they were neither refugees nor citizens—they were, and still are, citizenless inhabitants. They were inmates, and in many respects still are, of a huge prison in which they have no civil, and human rights and no impact on their future. The world tolerates this situation because Israel claims —and the claim was never challenged until recently—that the situation is temporary…Israel is still incarcerating a third generation of Palestinians…and depicting these mega-prisons as temporary…”

This is the best solution.

Zionism is a fascist ideology. There is nothing to gain from hosting in a country where people feel compelled to suppress opposition to and liberation against that fascist ideology out of fear of incarceration and police brutality

I think addiction is a key aspect. Like with gambling there is of course that aspect of responsibility, but regulation to minimize harm is also important.

All the major social media apps being designed to exploit that dopamine response is kind of like junk foods being the most common due to being subsidized; of course people just shouldn’t eat junk food, but we should make healthy options the most prevalent and common instead.

Of course that would require a government that would actually force corporations to implement harm reductive measures, instead of one bought by and working for corporations…

FOSS alternatives like Lemmy, Pixelfed, and Loops should be much healthier due to no algorithm working to maximize engagement. I also think social isolation is a big part of the addiction aspect, at least in America

With defunding fire fighters and climate change, you never know. Thank God we have that space lazer to control the weather, otherwise I’d be worried

Best way to play it imo, I only wish the psi solders leveled up with the same kind of tree as the regular lwotc soldiers

Nice
