Re: Has anyone read HandOfThrawn45's stories?
I know it's been a while, but they released a new trilogy about Xim the Despot. Given that wasn't really explored in canon I thought it was pretty interesting to see. https://archiveofourown.org/works/50106919/chapters/126537229 https://archiveofourown.org/works/53150923/chapters/134486260 https://a...

Has anyone actually listened to it? I've read the transcripts and it's pretty interesting.

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
It's worth a try, though the DNC's reaction will be as follows: You're going to get Trump elected! Fuck you, you dirty hippie -I mean terrorist! You'll come around and vote for Biden in November-who are you kidding? You're an anti-Semite! All of the above. And if Biden ends up losing in November be...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Israel also indoctrinates it's kids to see arabs as vermin (they deny the Nakba in text books or portray them as inferior primitives who need Israeli know how when in fact it was actually the Palestinians who farmed and Israelis who did a poor job.)

Note, however, that the other strike remains in question. Also, I'm not really sure we live on the same planet if you think the internet broke a Palestinian grip on information control. You would be surprised, to be honest. Palestinian information control relied on what amounts to information lag, ...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
That's why you started to see articles and videos of Palestinians thoroughly breaking practically the entirety of the Rules of War, excluding those relating to chemical weapons, in the late 20-aughts/early 20-teens. "Palestinians" as in the state, NGOs, individuals, some other lot? In gen...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
EDIT: I'd like to point out that the last four wars the IDF has been in since like 2000 have all followed the same pattern even a dumb mofo like me can discern: 1.) Some sort of Atrocity or Attack by Hamas/Hizbollah that sparks the whole thing off. 2.) IDF starts reacting. Strong international supp...

Re: Hamas launched mass attacks on Israel
Israel’s deals only ever amounted to bantustans and the Palestinians have only ever been justified in rejecting them. Israel has never been sincere and their reason has always been the belief that Arabs are subhuman animals who deserve slavery. If you believe Israel should exist as a Jewish state th...

Re: Hamas launched mass attacks on Israel
Given that Israel’s spent the last ten months supporting pogroms and ethnic cleansing I can’t don’t understand the reason for this. Heck the people of Sderot literally cheered as Palestinian civillians were murdered in 2014 and brought popcorn. Israel started this mess and its existence is founded o...

Re: Twitter board agrees to $44 billion sale to billionaire Tesla founder Elon Musk
Musk is basically like Spoiler
from Glass Onion. He puts on airs of being smart when really he's kind of an idiot who relies on others to do his thing. Musk is certainly good at fooling people into thinking he's smart, but when actually put in difficult situations it kinda shows.

Re: How many people during the Empire knew Palpatine was a Sith?
I'm sure that Yoda and Obi-Wan told Bail Organa, who no doubt leaked it to others he thought he could trust over the decades. I think the reason they told Bail Organa was simple -- Bail is part of the Imperial Government and has to do social functions. Yoda and Obi-Wan saw how Palpatine corrupted A...
