filister,

At 26 you should focus on building more your net worth in investing in appreciating instruments, not the other way around.

If there is nothing wrong with your current car, I would say give this a pass and continue investing in ETFs, etc.

Exclusive: Israel planning ring of checkpoints to prevent men from fleeing Rafah (www.middleeasteye.net)

Israel is setting up a complex system of checkpoints that will prevent men of “military age” from fleeing Rafah in preparation for its offensive on the southern Gaza border city, a senior western official familiar with Israel’s plans has told Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity....

Oh well, who’s radicalized now?

Damn, I hope one day you realise how wrong it is to generalise people.

How would you feel if someone says that you are a scumbag just because your neighbour is a scumbag?

Now question yourself if you want to be that type of person.

The US state department has found five units of the Israeli military responsible for gross violations of human rights in individual incidents, but says they will continue to receive US military backing.

Wow, just wow, textbook representation of double standards. Mind you this has happened before the current war there, and imagine how many unspeakable human rights violations have been committed by this so-called most moral army in the world, and what we do, nothing, absolutely f****** nothing.

Seems like the US is the lapdog of Israel.

Israel investigated the battalion over the death of 80-year-old Palestinian-American Omar Assad who died after being bound and gagged by soldiers during a West Bank village search in 2022.

At the time the US called for a “thorough criminal investigation and full accountability”.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) later said they regretted Mr Assad’s death, and a commander would be “reprimanded” and two soldiers barred from senior positions for two years - but would not be prosecuted.

It sounds about the right level of scrutiny. You allegedly tortured and killed a man, and the commander was “reprimanded” and two solders barred from senior positions for TWO whole years. Damn, I think that’s even too harsh on those most moral soldiers. And mind you, this is only a problem, because the said victim was Palestinian American, if he was Palestinian, nothing would have happened.

filister,

Mind you these human rights violations happened before the war. The lives of Palestinians were never rosy under Israel’s occupation.

Israel has been treating them as livestock for a long time and every time they were opposing they were crushed really hard. Simply the rest of the world cared too little about them and apart from a couple of strong worded statements of some states.

So in a way Hamas is reaction to this ill reatment and I dare say that if they have respected them and managed to find some peaceful agreement and treated them respectfully, this was and Hamas would have never occurred.

Maybe he is a terrorist undercover? Or a Schrödinger’s terrorist

filister,

Ughhh, don’t you see what’s happening in Gaza? At the end only money controls the narrative and foreign government’s policies. And that’s coming from so called developed democracies…

No one cares what is morally corrupt or not anymore, as long as it is beneficial for them.

filister,

Yes, that last thing is a deal breaker for me. No open source tool is trying to lock you in. That’s the whole idea of open source.

filister,

Have you tried shadowsocks.org? I don’t have any experience with it, but heard it is good at masquerading your traffic and making it almost impossible for your ISP to block it

filister,

Just ask ChatGPT what it thinks for some non-existing product and it will start hallucinating.

This is a known issue of LLMs and DL in general as their reasoning is a black box for scientists.

filister,

About time, if you ask me. After deliberately killing so many people, including kids and destroying almost entirely Gaza, making the life of ordinary people there and in the West bank hell.

filister,

You mean exactly like Facebook, right, because there are a lot of parallels but I never heard American politicians want to ban Facebook.

Let’s not fool ourselves!

filister,

The world is indeed immersive, the dialogue and the depth of the characters and the story not so much

filister,

The most moral army in the world/S

filister,

3878 Cybertrucks were produced from November to April, that doesn’t bode well for Tesla. Are there any recent numbers of the reservation holders for this abomination? I am curious to know how many have canceled their reservations.

filister,

You know Israel can simply ignore the UN resolutions and continue doing what they do. The irony is that Israel exists today thanks to the UN, but that’s another story.

In Munich, a modest 3-room flat costs 20 annual average for the city of Munich salaries.

And that’s without paying any fees for the purchase of the said apartment and those fees can easily add a couple of extra years to the calculation. Then we have the interest rate of the bank, and of course the ever increasing prices of virtually everything but the salaries.

You also need 10% down payment of the said property in cash to ensure a lower interest rate, that’s already a lot of money. So do the math to figure out how middle class people can afford a flat in Munich, where a rent for a 3-room flat is almost 2K, which by the way is more than 65% of the average salary in the city.

And all the constructions now within the city are luxurious properties where prices are double or triple that.

It is an absolute disgrace and it has been like this for at least 10 years. A friend of mine bought his flat around 10 years ago and now his flat costs 2.5x more. Crazy!

And then Germany is complaining that they cannot find skilled workers, so tell me would you go to Germany with those prices, relatively low salaries for high skilled positions and high tax burden?

filister,

Funny thing is Berlin was very cheap compared to the rest of Germany for years, while Munich was always deemed as the most expensive city in Germany

filister,

It comes just days after Musk announced plans to cut more than 10% of its global workforce.

In a memo issued to staff Musk said there was nothing he hated more, “but it must be done”.

I am speechless, are his employees and shareholders buying this ****?

filister,

Never said that, What is a Palestinian territory is defined in 1948. Where it is clearly stated what should belong to Israel and what to Palestine.

filister,

I guess so, but Israel is acting like this because they have the US behind their back, and I am sure if this wasn’t the case they would not be so reckless and act with such impunity in the region and it is a failure of the US to rein them.

filister,

You mean exactly what Israel is doing right now? Because they don’t seem fazed by the high civilian casualties or the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
