Pathetic.

Can I offer you both some Buddhism in these trying times? Start with Theravada, it's the most dispassionate sect in my opinion, some may (wrongfully) find it nihilistic even at first glance, also the most "canon" so to speak. Don't knock it till you try it!
I dig the pic, very pastoral, definitely catches some mood!
I'd say if there's a will there's a way. Establish common points of reference and go from there, it probably wouldn't even be THAT hard is my guess.
I have a friend with this exact ensemble of hobbies. Those are good ones!
While it's normal to do this (outside of obvious one-upmanship) I think what makes it autistic is the crushing awareness of the pattern and the realization of how wrong the reaction to such an innocuous thing can be if interpreted incorrectly. Some sort of paranoia of being misunderstood.
Nature please that is unnecessary.
They don't pivot lol, Israel is literally the only safe place in the Middle East for trans and LGBTQ people. Islam is violently anti-woke by definition, not to mention all of its more extremist appendages. One must be completely stupid to not understand it.
Hamas and the like would never accept it. If it were up to Hamas and their allies there would be neither State of Israel nor any Jews around their rightful land. They would purge all Druze and Christians too. Not to mention lynch in horrific ways every queer person in the region. You do not strike deals with rabid cultists. Another useless virtue signaling fart.
This is an intellectually disingenuous argument that tries to sound like a clever gotcha, instead it's just antisemitic in and of itself.
If it's stupid and it works it's not stupid.
