That's not what I said at all, but honestly you should just cry harder about your imagined scenarios, because I could not possibly care less about your feelings.
Also, your understanding of history is pretty poor, based on this comment
Both Fennec and Vanadium work very well for me on Android.
Vanadium is bundled on Graphene OS, but it might work on stock android or other variants Apparently not as it relies on the OS hardening that Graphene does, particularly malloc()
Kirk was a propagandist toadie who spent his time promoting guns, and therefore gunviolence, and he died in the funniest way possible, given the circumstances
I have found the large 4-cup moka pot to be very efficient for camping coffee, particularly if you also have a kettle on the griddle with hot/near-boilng water for refills. Or in the campfire. I use an aluminum calphalon non-whistle teapot for that.
With a good single-burner (butane/propane or white gas) it becomes reasonable to crank out good coffee for 2-3 people at a time (1.5 to 2 cup) on a ~6 minute cycle.
Uhh maybe my use case is atypical, but still. Moka-pot is good for camping cuz it's fast, easy-clean and can produce great results.
This is old. Who hasn't peed in a bush once, or thrice, etc
But most of us aren't foolish enough to do so in a visible/observable way, and most of us aren't currently part of the Drunkard's Parade that's fuckin up the country with great enthusiasm and effect.
To be clear, I'm pretty sure you and many other folks on Lemmy might characterize me as a "shitlib" overall, and I'm not familiar with language like "tone police" but from context I understand that you feel like I criticized you for being "strident" which I guess is true, and I apologize for that.
It is probably my "liberal" background that makes me think that strident presentation weakens argument, and I thought your point would have been clearer/better/more persuasive without that overriding passion. Anyhow that's all just style.
Is it not pretty well documented that Netanyahu and company did, in fact, enable/approve a bunch of Qatari money to be funneled to Hamas? And that he's stated openly that the reason is to keep the PA and Hamas separate and not working together?
I wasn't aware of the Israel-Created-Hamas drama, but that article you linked certainly paints a pretty clear picture of a lot of early Israeli influence/meddling, despite the aim of the article to say nuh-uh.
"Created" is too strong a term for sure, but it seems pretty obvious that Israel's policies of ever-increasing oppression/colonization/genocide make a pretty fertile environment for a popular resistance group with an armed/violent component to form.
Did the US "create" ISIS? Not exactly, but they (we) sure did set the stage super-effectively.
Russia did not create the NRA but they absolutely did co-opt and use it to their great benefit to funnel money around to influence US internal politics. NRA today is, very rightly, a discredited and declining organization.
Big-mad defensiveness from criticisms of Hamas over Israeli influence (open, discrete or clandestine) are counterproductive to Hamas' interest in my opinion. They would be better to take the time to reflect, analyze and ensure that their current decisions aren't being influenced by Israel.
Unfortunately for Palestinians, I don't think the Hamas organization is very good at this, but it's not a huge surprise --- Israel is extremely effective with these kinds of operations, and not only in regards to Hamas. USA is their most important target.
"Liberal Optics Framing" is another new phrase, but it's not as clear to me as tone police.
When I said (without a lot of thought) Hamas has "represented poorly" I was assuming that Hamas has been supported/funded/enabled by Netanyahu et al because the policies/actions they expect Hamas to take will be a better outcome for Israel than the policies/actions of the PA had they won the election.
I'm pretty sure you understood that. And I'm pretty sure the assumption is reasonable.
Is your objection of/to liberal optics framing because the implication is that Hamas is more violent than the PA, and it's very clear that Israel WANTS more Palestinian violence to continue to justify their own violence?
The violent terrorism we have seen from Hamas hasn't exactly turned out to be "effective resistance" at all.
TBH I don't know what would even count as effective resistance at this point.
Maybe the most effective thing they could/can do is continue the social media appeals / influence campaigns which do generate discussions like this one, but does that even count as "resistance"
Anyhow this is already too long and rambling, and I do thank you for taking the time to engage. I read stuff around here because I want to understand the left (left-er?) better.
The only thing against his is his age. The negative about age is it's effect on cognitive function. Bernie, so far as I know, isn't showing any real signs of cognitive dysfunction.
If there's ANY person who could grasp the reigns of the "unitary executive theory" of the Presidency, use that authority with great authoritarian zeal to IMPROVE the system and to REMOVE the vastly expanded Executive power that has gradually crept to levels unimaginable to past generations, and then DROP the reigns of power....
It would be Bernie Sanders.
What could an unleashed Bernie accomplish in one term, knowing he was not running for re-election. That administration could come out swinging and never stop.
I firmly believe that Bernie would have won against Trump all three times.
And I've got a feeling his VP choice would have been a lot better than Biden's, and a lot more effective at positioning that person to also win.
I'm on a pixel 9 with Graphene OS and it's fantastic
The first Motorola handsets to support Graphene will be very expensive, but a slightly older Pixel from eBay is a fine option
He is emphasizing the fact that the cops care about a $155k 'stolen' vehicle, and they they are here to protect the wealthy
The guy himself is a journalist who was doing his job, part of which is an extended test-drive of a vehicle, provided by the manufacturer.
I agree that "a" billion isn't even gonna start to cover it.
Will it even EVER be controlled down to Panama again?
It will take many years.
I looked at the dude's post history and it pretty evident that he's neither
Y'all some reactionary biatches up in on here
It's certainly not "large" here

You can't cry about her not being leftist-enough, if no one bothered to run from her left.
What does PTB mean?
Parade Transgressing Bitch?
Party Tanking Bastard?
Pirate Ticklin' Bunny?
a modest effort at searching for this term nets no information other than typical "assist llm" circular references
Kirk was a propagandist toadie who spent his time promoting guns, and therefore gunviolence, and he died in the funniest way possible, given the circumstances
This other guy is just some guy livin his life.
I tried watching Dukes of Hazzard out of nostalgia....
Sheesh it's a LOT worse than I recalled
This is a fantastic shot
Errrrrr....

Yea exactly. Pretty annoying.
Seems like it would be pretty simple for the Lemmy or piefed or whatever instance software to just returned the text of the post on that URL
IDK/not qualified to say if there's a good reason it doesn't, but I think it would be convenient for a lot of folks if it did.
I would still vote for Bernie
The only thing against his is his age. The negative about age is it's effect on cognitive function. Bernie, so far as I know, isn't showing any real signs of cognitive dysfunction.

Unfortunately I believe this is true.
That campaign promise, combined with Biden's ego forcing/allowing him to press on beyond his capacity, put the Dems in a very bad position.
If Joe Biden had been strong enough to commit and stick to a single term, they could have cultivated and promoted a much better ticket.
It would probably still have resulted in Harris being the nominee, which was the point of that campaign promise.
But at least it wouldn't have been the shit show we saw. Maybe she could have gathered the courage to have some differing positions from Biden/DNC
