Promised Land
  • It also doesn't make much sense in the particular context considering on a genetic level Palestinians are as Semitic as modern Ashkenazi jews. And it doesn't make much sense from a religious stand point because modern Judaism differs from ancient Judaism by about the same amount as Christianity or Islam does. Modern Judaism just has this dogma that Ancient Judaism was secretly observing their form of it even though if we don't take them at their word there isn't a lot of evidence of that.

    So from a religious standpoint it doesn't make a lot of sense. And from an ethnic standpoint it makes even less sense.

    And also we don't let Europeans say "these are our ethnic lands" without calling them racist. So then why would we let people who are like 2% ethnic ancient jewish retroactively claim ethnic ownership of some land without calling them racist? They will claim it's not about race and about religion. Ok, which is worse, a group of highly militant ethno-nationalists, or a group of highly militant theo-nationalists? Zionists are always one of two bad things and they will use arguments to play wackamole about which one to deflect the claims of one. Apparently if you are two bad things at once and it is unclear if you are both or just one of those things you get unlimited license to be both of those bad things.

  • Housing Crisis @lemmy.world x0x7 @lemmy.world

    Rent is finally going down in Argentina. Down 40%.

    Milei removed rent controls. As a result new construction of housing is actually happening. The increased supply of housing has caused rent to drop to almost half. Almost half. When you have static demand it doesn't take that much to drop the price. Just a little bit of excess housing vs just a little to little can make that difference.

    I guess it's not a good time to be a landlord though. But it is a good time to work in construction or be a renter.

    One Issue 'Christian' Voters
  • So then animal sacrifice is meant to be continued by Christians? The "did not come to abolish but fulfill" thing is really an explanation for abolishment. He didn't destroy the law but completed it, so it's done. And by law we basically mean Leviticus. So yes, Leviticus pretty much is irrelevant. By your argument and the argument embedded in OPs post Christians should still be stoning women and not eating pork.

    How can you know which chapter of Matthew starts the sermon on the mount and not know pretty much the most core concept in Christian theology? Like that is almost the whole central point of Jesus is that he abolished the law by fulfilling it. That and salvation. That's like the two things.

    Onion in shame at what reality produces...
  • Exactly. And you aren't a terrorist after you win your country back. That's like the British partnering with America to fight terrorism being ironic because of George Washington. Different era is different era. Whether people like it or not the Taliban run an actual government.

  • I was just noticing how similar a lot of these usernames are on reddit

    Imagine being such an NPC that you can't even pick your own name and instead pick whatever reddit fills in.

    Hello sirs. I am !{Adjective}-{0,1}!{Noun}-{0,1}dddd. I have unique and meaningful opinions.

    A conservative billionaire had some things to say
  • There is no such thing as a politician who is a good person. People get into politics because their appetite for corruption strengthens like a drug user. This is true of pretty much every person who has ever run for president or has been president.

  • Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous?
  • It sounds like everyone but mods should be able to see voters. But of course they will use straw accounts. What if only votes on your own post/comment were revealed to you? Like some pointed out, they are already not anonymous to anyone who wants to try hard enough to get the data because of federation. So the question is who do we want to be able to see that data easily? It's a GUI modification in any case. Who are we making the gui modification for?

  • Never again
  • It's true. That box has the utility of the highest utility cable in it. Which means it's a lot. Worth taking up space under a bed you aren't using. Anti-horder culture goes too far. It's more complicated than dogmatically throwing away everything or keeping everything. Don't throw away things with real utility. Civilization is built on accumulated utility in durable goods.

  • You just can't make this shit up.
  • All sides in war are corrupt. No matter which side you are on, flea. It is not cowardly. It's just being brave enough to not give your capacity to kill to corrupt men.

    Both sides use conscription. If the conscriptors got killed instead of those the conscriptors want them to kill then the war would wind down at least a little. But to make it fair it would have to happen on both sides.

    This war can also be classified as drone vs human. If both sides infantries would kill their drone operators then no humans would have to die to drones. I say fight wars. Fight wars on lines they don't want you to fight them.

  • Password length requirement
  • Ok. Take up to 65,536 bytes of utf8 string. Or better yet. Accept any password length. I mean any. But instead of transmitting it you bcyrpt on their machine and then use the resulting key to hmac sign a recent timestamp that can't be reused.

  • Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say
  • For this user base it is the right answer. So many petty downvoters. On my site I'm considering a rule that would make it so you can't be the vote that casts a comment into the negative without giving a reason, and then that reason would be turned into a comment. If something is worth downvoting then it is worth explaining why someone is wrong. If you can't do that maybe you shouldn't downvote. I don't think you should have to do that every time. But if a comment is going to go negative someone should step up to the plate and bother to articulate. That way a comment can't get hidden away from the public just because a petty mob that can't even present an argument sees it as convenient if certain information disappears.

    So in that case the downvoter who crossed it into the negative would not be anonymous.
