Israel: “lol oopsie woopsie, never mind”

Should I permanently leave Israel?

I’m not sure if this is the right community for this question, but it says “no stupid question” so here goes. I’m an Israeli who now lives in the US, but I am considering permanently residing in the US or elsewhere (perhaps somewhere in Europe or Canada) because I’ve become kinda disillusioned with Israel for a variety...

TheBananaKing,

Leave. If nothing else, you’ll get to call yourself Wasraeli.

TheBananaKing,

Remember how they blatantly sabotaged Bernie’s primary campaign and justified all their dirty tricks because they felt he was ‘unelectable’?

Funny how now they have a blatantly unelectable candidate in office, they’ve done a complete 180 and are demanding voters support him unconditionally.

TheBananaKing,

That horse bolted decades ago; the term is lost.

Just call it racism and be done. We don’t need specific terms for different demographics.

TheBananaKing,

‘Racism’ is a good enough umbrella term for ‘being shitty to people because of some demographic category’. Whether the basis is ethnic, national, religious or anything else doesn’t seem like an important distinction. Nobody considers ‘race’ to be a useful term any more, after all.

TheBananaKing,

Corporations rely on desperate, easily-exploited people in order to make obscene profits. There’s no way in hell they’d risk actually cutting off their supply of slaves, or else they might have to drop a couple of percent of profits on paying wages / benefits / etc.

The border laws aren’t intended to reduce the number of illegal immigrants, they’re there to make those same people more desperate and therefore more profitable, while at the same time stoking the enthusiasm of morons who will continue to vote for more pro-corporate politicians who will shovel even more money to the shareholders.

TheBananaKing,

Can the message be rude? Because if so, hornet.

TheBananaKing,

Practicing an easily-grasped task in order to gain proficiency in a more daunting one.

Have you not seen The Karate Kid?

TheBananaKing,

Love them to bits. They are the best.

… just get the nice marinated deli ones, not the disgusting chalky-felty sliced O-rings you get in jars.

There’s no comparing the two. If all you’ve tried is those little abominations, I can’t blame you in the slightest for hating them.

Please try the good ones.

US Lemmys what could Biden do in the next 6 months to EARN your vote? (other than just not being Trump)

Sorry this is kinda political. Is there an asklemmypolitics group this would be better for? I’m hoping not to get into the libs vs progressives political debate we see everywhere on here… Just want to know what people are actually looking for.

TheBananaKing,

Tens of thousands of dead kids, and he’s sending more bombs.

Mass graves of people buried alive with their hands bound, and he’s vetoing resolutions against Israel in the UN.

Bombing food trucks and the crowds surrounding them, and he’s making excuses for them.

Famine set to kill most if not all people in Gaza, and he keeps sending bombs.

TheBananaKing,

Bingo.

What is a good eli5 analogy for GenAI not "knowing" what they say?

I have many conversations with people about Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Copilot. The idea that “it makes convincing sentences, but it doesn’t know what it’s talking about” is a difficult concept to convey or wrap your head around. Because the sentences are so convincing....

TheBananaKing,

Imagine making a whole chicken out of chicken-nugget goo.

It will look like a roast chicken. It will taste alarmingly like chicken. It absolutely will not be a roast chicken.

The sad thing is that humans do a hell of a lot of this, a hell of a lot of the time. Look how well a highschooler who hasn’t actually read the book can churn out a book report. Flick through, soak up the flavour and texture of the thing, read the blurb on the back to see what it’s about, keep in mind the bloated over-flowery language that teachers expect, and you can bullshit your way to an A.

Only problem is, you can’t use the results for anything productive, which is what people try to use GenAI for.

TheBananaKing,

I have slightly odd wiring; I need something to bite down on under stress so I can ride it out. Incoming emotions that don’t match my current ones just feel dissonant and uncomfortable.

I thus present to you femtanyl

Or if you still want a rock-tumbler brain massage but a little less stabby, consider Gray Data by Five Star Hotel.

TheBananaKing,

You are literally helping them bomb the intended recipients of that aid, you smug hypocritical bastards.

TheBananaKing,

I know about Teardrop. I’m talking about the European version, the third one in the linked video - and specifically about one effect they’re using in it.

TheBananaKing,

So where are the protests about it?

TheBananaKing,

no, I’m asking about Israeli Israelis. Where are the ordinary city-dwellers getting up and marching to protest the ongoing slaughter, as you’ll find in just about every other city in the world?
