And if you were German in the 1940s, you'd see everybody to the east of Germany as dangerous "Jewish Bolshevists" that must be exterminated at every cost.

False equivalency. Eastern European Jews never stated their intention was to exterminate the German people and they never carried out acts of violence in furtherance of that goal.

This statement reads like you don't believe Israel has any kind of legitimate security concern in Hamas, which we both know is insane.

Either way, my 'both-sideism' is mostly the ability to be empathetic to the situation both sides are in currently.

If I were a Palestinian in Gaza, I would be pissed at essentially being born into an open air prison with the boots of another that hates me in my neck all my life. I would be willing to fight, however I could, to strike back at my jailers.

If I were an Israeli, I'd see Gaza as filled with dangerous people who want to exterminate me an my family. I would ideally want them gone, but knowing that's not possible, id want them kept as non threatening as possible in their cage.

Neither side is wrong; if I were Israel I wouldn't want any kind of solution that empowers a group whose stated goal is my death. And I can't blame the anger of the residents of Gaza for their treatment over the decades.

So your stance is Hamas' isn't an asshole?

Israel is asshole.

Hamas is asshole.

I guess it isn't so complex after all.

What makes you say he didn't think accidental civilian deaths were a problem?

I'll tell you, I have my setup to the point where I go to one website, subscribe to a show, and episodes of that show appear to watch on my TV same day they are released.

I also set myself up to get email alerts telling me what new episodes I have to watch when they are done being downloaded.

... Setting all that up took me awhile and will take tech skills. But now that it's set up, it's zero touch aside from adding new shows.

Plus, I never have to worry about trying to find where to stream at it and even if my Internet goes out I can still watch my shows

These signs are rarely locked and are vandalized like this all the time.

This is a non story really.

alot of ppl on fedi are privacy-oriented and focused

I'm aware. I'm just reminding you that most outside the fediverse aren't.

Tell that to the dude who will probably never have a partner.

Not everyone cares so much about that.

Someone knowing things about me in general is not a big deal.

Y'all joke, but we pretty much had this with the La Sirena in Picard.
