It’s not that complex… Israel is a fucking apartheid state and seems a little too eager for the excuse to cut off basic necessities

I took a class in grad school about Israeli society and media. I was surprised to learn there are big social divisions between Ashkenazi and Mizrahi peoples, with Ashkenazi sort of glamorized in media and portrayed as the ideal. We were told there is real ostracization of Mizrahi.
Fascists always need out-groups, I guess
Remind them where their wealth came from, that real people remain affected by it… More (all) rich people should be confronted this way, if not with violence
I have a microwave/air fryer/convection combo that I can’t use unless I install a phone app. It came with the apartment. It has only a few “buttons” on its face. The UI is almost completely non-intuitive, but the app makes it easy. Every time I bake bread I fight the urge to blow my brains out as I navigate to the app. I have become that which I mocked.
Wild Cards?
Humans will exist. We will live in the sea and we will have flippers. Our brains will be smaller, but we will eat lots of fish.
I remembered reading early on that someone sold a carcass from the lab to a wet market. I think that’s probably Western propaganda and I have no idea whether that’s true.
However, in China there were posters in every restaurant saying to avoid eating such meats. They started to appear in the first half of 2020. I saw them in Shanghai, Ningbo, and Hangzhou.
Maybe the government just saw it as a useful opportunity to steer the public toward factory-produced meats that fall under the “safe umbrella” of capitalism. Either one is interesting to think about
Haha both!
I dunno which is worse. The ones in China were never used, just built and left to rot. Many in the US had some decades of glory, then ended up with the same fate.
Sooo many empty or partially used shopping malls
No, I mean that DDG doesn’t provide summaries or skip to the section of video Tha answers your questions. Google has some great features
I am a regular DDG user but it depends what I’m searching for. I also use Qwant
Underrated link
Maybe if they made DDG give better results, I wouldn’t use Google quite as much

No, they’ll sell it cheaper than the store
Damn Scots, ruined Scotland!
China too. Everything is tied to your phone number
You have a bizarre definition of freedom of travel
Although I suppose on a grander scale, nobody truly has freedom of travel. But it’s rare for citizens of a nation-state to need to be granted access to other cities and provinces… So on a relative scale, they don’t. I’m not sure how you can say otherwise 🤔
I mean, it’s obvious that you have no idea WTF daily life is like in China. I just ran down a list of possibilities and explained how travel works in China and you just posture like a bratty toddler.
Why do you feel a need to knee-jerk glorify and defend a nation-state you’ve never lived in or associated with? I didn’t even badmouth the place, simply described a facet of life in China without hyperbole
My unlimited data plan in Albania cost $11/month. In China, $15.
