It should also be noted that the biggest proponent of the idea that decolonization means turning the tables and just moving around the designations of first and second class citizens, is the colonizers themselves, because that's the only reality they know. You see this in discussions regarding decolonization in the US/Canada as well, where white people think that somehow means Indigenous people are going to force them out of their houses and kidnap their children as some kind of revenge for white people doing those exact things to Indigenous peoples. That's not what decolonization is, but colonizers keep insisting it is because they simply can't think of it in any other terms, and/or they know full well that they're lying and are deliberately building up a strawman against decolonization in hopes of preventing it from happening.

The EU should put their money where their mouth is and carve out a portion of their own territories into a Jewish state then (not US territory since that would only result in Indigenous land being further colonized). Instead of them insisting that the Jews need their own homeland on someone else's land.

And why would he? The most powerful empire in the world is unconditionally enabling his genocide and punishes anyone else who doesn't fall in line.

Easiest way to do this: Turn the modem off after bed time (you will also lose internet)

Most expensive but still easy way to do this: Buy a "smart router" with time-based parental controls (lets you use the internet at night).

Nerd way to do this: Pihole with a script that enables and disables certain blocklists at certain times (free and open source, because fuck "smart" products)

I can't say I've ever thought rice smells like cinema nor popcorn. I associate the smell with China since I spent my earliest years there. My guess is your brain associated that smell with movies for whatever reason (maybe you always got Chinese food at the mall after the movies or something?)

Annecdotal, but I definitely enjoy the simplest foods specifically for their simplicity. Things like a fresh loaf of bread with no sauces, a plain bowl of rice straight out of the rice cooker (I'm Asian), or plain roasted sunflower seeds.

Trump, your child couldn't put a lego car together.

Also I'm pretty sure there's drug testing at automotive plants. How's your cokehead of a child going to even get in the door?

Headline: US warns Israel to boost humanitarian aid into Gaza or risk losing weapons funding

First line of the article: The Biden administration has warned Israel that it must increase the amount of humanitarian aid it is allowing into Gaza within the next 30 days or it could risk

The headline is intentionally making it seem like the US is asking Israel itself to provide aid to Gaza, no they're just pretending to ask Israel to please stop preventing other people from trying to provide aid to Gaza.

Thanks Associated press, very cool.

Zionists have little concern for Jewish people

while the robots are doing what people would do to enjoy themselves.

and for the specific purpose of increasing profit margins of media companies who no longer have to pay artists and writers

If generative AI was merely a computer science endeavour, the 1% wouldn't be investing this heavily in it.

Same with "communicating over the internet isn't real communication."

I'm not saying that there aren't problems with how much we're communicating over the internet and how little we're communicating in real life, but the vast majority of humans in history would have considered the ability to send text messages to someone on the other side of the world in less than a second to be reserved for the gods above.
