These comments, including this one, are an embarrassment. Worse than reddit right now.

And half a dozen months ago they could have had a ceasefire to have them released, along with the ones that STILL aren't released.

Fun fact, it was quite common for people to live into their 80s in the past. The shorter life expectancy myth (1) comes with averaging age of death infant mortality, which was far higher and (2) the drop in life expectancy during industrialization.

A few thousand years ago we had a similar life expectancy and worked far less. There are other tradeoffs of course.

You can be organized without a state. Typically nicer, in fact.

The best recruitment tool for Hamas is Israeli violence. Israel kills many civilians but a manageable number of Hamas. There are many Palestinians in prison camps with no trials, Hamas negotiates for their own.

Their calculus is one of triage, they want an effective fighting force to liberate Palestine and not become another West Bank (effectively dissolved with Palestinians treated like cattle). So the need for their organization takes priority over the general population.

They're right wing, imagine how MAGA types would respond to the US being occupied and genocided by China.

Best case scenario it's bought, or other platforms honor a number of steam purchases as a perk. But ultimately...poof

We really need to tax energy used by GPU-burning projects differently. AI training, blockchain, whatever. Such a wasteful endeavour.
