18 billion yearly profit last I checked.

Not enough.

Never enough.

Wouldn’t know, have ublock.

What media is an LLM going to be able to reproduce that I can’t already reproduce with a copy paste?

They are more efficient than pure ICE vehicles though in most situations.

At low speed and city driving the regenerative breaking can make a 30mpg motor into a 50-60 mpg motor.

I drove one for awhile and the efficiency is noticable.

Good. Influencers are a plague.

I’ll tell you that it’s super nice to be able to watch things with other people in the car while you are all waiting on the car to charge.

Also, you don’t have to hold a phone and the screen is better.

Aside from some fish which evolved with no eyes (which is kind of cool), the only other thing you are likely to find down there is a dead body that everyone decided was too dangerous to recover.

Do I need sources for the failed invasion of Kyiv?

Everyone knows about it.

Yeah. This is the one that came to my mind.

Dude straight up ended his career. His band members left, label dropped him and his colabs said they wouldn’t work with him anymore.

Turns out he was a lieutenant in the oath keepers and the FBI grabbed him. Last I heard he made a plea deal and got put into the witness protection program.

He is the band and it can’t exist without him. Even if he could continue, he’d have to rebuild it from the ground up.

It’s a shame, I really Loved Demons and Wizards, the iced earth / blind guardian colab group.

… Based on some song lyrics I feel I should have seen this coming when looking back though.

Anytime you are doing any kind of military or police action within a civilian area there is always the risk of unintended civilian harm.

If police and military forces took this doctorine that any amount of risk is too much then they simply would be unable to operate.

There has to be a certain amount of acceptable civilian risk and that should be proportional to the threat you are attempting to stop.

Just to clarify, I’m not advocating that Israel is taking acceptable risks. But I am advocating that those risks will always exist with ANY police or military action and the primary debate is over where the red line of acceptable/unacceptable is.

All nations are built and maintained by violence, either directly or by threat of it.

It’s a core component of sovereignty. To be able to call your government sovereign you must have the capacity to resist both external and internal actors from being able to overthrow you.

You must also be willing and able to use violence against those under your rule who disobey your laws (i.e, arresting a murderer).

The vast majority of Israeli’s were born there at this point.

It’s not a stolen home to them. It’s the only home they’ve ever known.

What question do you want answered? Most of what you stated seemed to be rhetorical.

Why is this "Where do they go? 😞 " question relevant only now and only one way?

Because someone specifically told me that every Israeli should just leave Israel?

Are you not following the converstation here?

That’s what makes the whole thing complicated, isn’t it?

Israel shouldn’t have existed to begin with and when it did, it shouldn’t have acted the way it has since its inception.

Yes, Israel is to blame for Hamas having power in Gaza today as well.

I’m not arguing that Israel isn’t a bad guy here.

What I’m arguing is I don’t see an alternative that doesn’t just kick the can down the road.

considering a lot of them have second citizenships elsewhere…how about those places?

That only accounts for maybe 20-30% of the population these days. Most Israelis alive today were born in the country, not immigrants.

So again, where do they go?

And go where?

Yes, they are doing a genocide.

I’m not sure what other options are available at this point though.

Hamas is extremist to the point where they would be doing a genocide as well if they were in the position to do so.

People say separate the Hamas from the people, but that’s really hard when the members of Hamas are of the people and have the support of a good percentage of them.

If Israel invades on foot and Hamas is threatened they can simply fade back into the population and wait to try again. And the general population will support them in doing so.

The creation of the state of Israel was a mistake and the rise of Hamas is the direct result of decades of apartheid practiced against the Palestinians by the Israeli state.

… But as the issue stands today, I can’t blame Israel in taking extreme action to end the conflict that’s dragged on for nearly a century now.

There is no reasonable path to peace. A two state solution would end with the states at war anyway as both states have extreamists who want to genocide the other in government positions.

And there is no where that would accept the Gaza population as refugees even if you could get them to leave.

So what’s left?

Good. Embrace me technology.
