Do Israeli Politicians' adult children get conscripted just like the average adult Israeli citizen as part of mandatory service?

I was just reading about how a current Israeli war minister’s son died in combat and it made me wonder that if Israeli’s politicians who make these decisions know their family will be affected by it personally and directly, does that lend towards the suggestion that it is more likely they are making genuinely ethically and...

demystify,

In theory. In practice, I doubt it.

The Israeli parliament consists of 120 politicians. Their children would need:

  • to not be Haredi, which are exempt from service
  • to be between the ages of 18-21, which is when their mandatory service runs
  • to serve in combat units

Chances are only a few of them answer this criteria (even less considering the extremist portion of this specific government which didn’t serve, and their children likely don’t serve either), and even they are likely not above pulling strings to get them out of danger. Except for that politician you talked about, apparently.

Can you opt out of snap on Ubuntu? I’ve heard some system and essential apps use it, so it might break stuff if you do

Are libreddit frontends for reddit already non functional?

I started some time ago using a teddit frontend with local subscriptions, and at some point it was hard for the one I picked to keep up, then I moved to libreddit, at that time libredd.it, then it stopped working and moved to libreddit.spike.codes, but it seems it stopped working as well, and finally I moved to libreddit...

demystify,

Take a look at Geddit

One of my friends once admitted to have written a porn story involving some extreme version of piss play. I don’t remember all the details, but I do remember someone filling someone else’s bladder with their urine. Wild af

demystify,

Let’s… not go down that path.

How about “flower” instead?

demystify,

I mean… Emotions are just our brain’s reaction to chemicals. Computers could replicate that reaction manually, and technically it would be just as valid.

demystify,

There, that’s the one argument I’ve been missing in my explanations. Thank you, kind sir or ma’am.

If you end up taking the browser route, take a look at WebApps

I, uh… I shave hair like 5 cm around my bumhole. Paired with a bidet, you wouldn’t guess how much easier it made it to wipe. I used to use 30-50 squares of toilet paper per wiping session, today I can manage with just 10

demystify,

No, I actually have triple-ply. I developed a stupid habit of folding multiple papers and using them together, so I wipe with like 9 layers at a time. It helps the paper not break up even being wet, but wastes a lot more overall.

How do you feel about financing a genocide?

I didn’t want to direct this question to Americans specifically because, at this point, other countries have shown support to Israel in one or the other way. If my country was financing this, I would be taking the streets. Shit, I’m right now in the hospital but all I can think about is protesting anyway just to feel I did...

demystify,

The only thing I’m dissatisfied with is their free hand with bombing civilians along with military targets. I can understand that Israel is angry, and rightfully so, but they fancy themselves a western country, being better than terrorist Hamas. They can’t let their anger take control. Bombing civilians undermines their legitimatecy, I think they should try and be as surgical as possible, like they did in previous rounds of fighting. Other than that, I fully support their desire to root out Hamas. Though conquering Gaza only has any merit to it if they decide to stay and govern it themselves, otherwise Hamas would just rise up again.

demystify,

This is Pig Poop Balls, which shows that this person disagrees with my opinion, to put it mildly.

demystify,

I don’t know, what does it matter? They don’t even acknowledge it, nevermind about using it. The only instance in which they might use their nukes is the Samson Option, which looks like something any country would do.

demystify,

I have so much to say over this comment. I’ll try to be concise.

remove the blockade on Gaza, give everyone there citizenship and become a secular state

  • Israel doesn’t trust Hamas. The blockade, which, mind you, is also enforced by Egypt, is meant to limit the group’s ability to procure weapons. Water, food, fuel and other necessities are usually provided by both Israel and international help.
  • Neither Gazans want Israeli citizenship, nor Israel wants Gazans to be its citizens.
  • Religious and secular political forces quarrel in Israel daily. It can’t just “become” secular. A big portion of Israelis don’t want it to.

When has Israel not leveled civilian buildings? Have you not seen charts comparing Israeli casualties to Palestinian ones?

  • If not for Iron Dome, Israeli casualties would be way higher.
  • Any civilian casualties are to be condemned. Yet, you must remember that Hamas likes to base itself under hospitals, schools, mosques. Not only that, but Gaza is also very densly populated. They’re some 2.5 million people over 365km squared. It’s very difficult to carry out any strikes without damaging hundreds of people. Yet, in the 2021 conflict, only 260 Gazans died as a result of strikes, despite hundreds if not thousands of shellings. Israel claims that at least 200 of those were militians. If that is not surgical, I don’t know what is.

I think Palestinians should be the ones who should be angry for the way Israel has treated them since inception.

Read a little about the history of the conflict, as well as about peace talks and different offers that Israel made.

demystify,

Ah, I see. No, they’re not that stupid. Even if nuking Gaza didn’t affect them because of proximity, they wouldn’t. They rely on American help too much, and struggle as they do with international forces. Nuking Gaza would leave them ostricized and heavily sanctioned, if not invaded.

demystify,

Tldr: something something Microsoft bad

demystify,

I don’t think there is any “government approved” educational material about the kind of activities you partake in. Look up something like “advanced bdsm guide” on Google and absorb as much information as possible. This kind of information is shared from experience only.

demystify,

Not anymore. Not with Winget.

My shoulder is available to all who need it

demystify,

I don’t think I have trouble understanding my emotions, but I probably really do suppress them. As of now, my normal coping mechanisms work fine, and I don’t see the need to fix this specific one. Maybe one day I too will have the urge, and then I’ll see what I can do.

If I may ask, has therapy helped you? Did you manage to cry?

demystify,

I see. I’ll think about it, thank you for the insight, and the kind words :)
