  • Ok, thank you.

    Now we can have a dialogue.

    Yeah, her murder, because it was a murder, is fucked up and should be a huge deal.

    I haven’t seen those images, and I don’t want to. Does the OP article make me believe those images exist? Not entirely, Like you said, it is difficult to trust governments that have a history of creating their own truth.

    But I do believe that Hamas is capable of doing that. I do believe that the dynamics of the situation makes it incredibly easy for Israel to be a fascist oppressor and for Hamas to abuse that and do horrific things and then hide behind Palestinians.

    Then Hamas gets to justify more violence when Israel does more fucked up stuff, trying to get at Hamas.

    Any actual peace processes, over the last 50 years, has been constantly undermined and ruined due to militant Muslim groups, like Hamas, who refuse any compromise.

    So what happens? Well the Israelis also got radicalized, and now they don’t really give a shit about the outside world either.

    The Palestinians are stuck in the middle.










  • I had a professor that made us use LaTex for our lab reports. Kept telling us it is an industry standard. I knew it was bullshit.

    Every time we had a guest speaker come and talk about their work (was in an EE program), I would ask if they used LaTex. ( I was bitter because I felt I was being forced to waste time learning something that I didn’t need to).

    Every single one said no. Some didn’t even know what it was.

    The professor always gave me a dirty look, but he never gave me shit about it, but he also never changed his policy.

    I’ve been working as an EE for 3 years now and I have still never seen LaTex in the wild.




  • I had a pretty solid career , in the Navy, and now I am an electrical engineer, with a pretty awesome family, and we own our own home.

    I have two siblings.

    My older brother lives in a trailer, can’t keep a real job and only ever calls to ask for money.

    My older sister has had six kids with four different men. I don’t take her calls because she just up and abandoned four of her kids. (Then had her sixth kid with the fourth father).

    I have no idea how I avoided that white trash destiny and I am racked with “survivors guilt”.
