You are overlooking that the bulk of those negative comments are probably not true, and are just griefers. For example the experience of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39834260 lower down in this thread.

You are rewriting history. WHY did the creation of Israel have to be associated with bad relationships? After all the Jews purchased all the land they were going to live on, and the partition gave them empty land. And it's not like i

Not really - you have to wait for the subway, it also takes a finite time to travel, and it frequently stops. It can avoid traffic, but the actual MPH can be slower than a car when you include both those things.

Don't expect to be able to leave the eclipse area for hours after. Traffic will be in all directions. If you can just chill for several hours and then leave.

Even 99% is barely noticeable. Totality is a different category, it's not just "a bit darker". And a camera is not the same experience as looking around and being in a circle of darkness with a lit horizon in all directions.

I've so far only read Consider Phlebas, and while it's an interesting dystopia where humans have no purpose, and machines could do everything (if allowed), it's not an actual interesting story . It's like he had the ide

That's an ... interesting alternate history. But modern Zionism started in 1882, yet the Genocide of Safed was in 1834. Reading the article about it it's clear the local authorities did not prosecute Jews as a policy - but, the lo

That's not really accurate. In relatively modern times: "The official beginning of the construction of the New Yishuv in Palestine is usually dated ... 1882, .... Jewish immigration to Palestine started in earnest. Most immigrants

It's probably not taught in the US, but it's certainly taught in Israel, but they also include the periods after that when Arabs started massacring and prosecuting Jews. It's not a single time period, a lot of stuff happened,

When Zionism started "peaceful coexistence" was long since gone. You are combining time periods over hundreds of years. Peaceful coexistence ended around 860 (and stated getting worse in 636 with the Siege of Jerusalem), while mod

This is a conjecture, not a study. Sorry if that seems to be nitpicking, but I see too many "studies" like this. A study is supposed to report the truth of something that the author studied. But this is an idea that the author lik

The reason is predictable is that it repeats every 80 years or so - I guess that's the orbit of the dwarf sun it's eating.

Yes I read it. The context is comparing the US and the EU. And this document shows they are substantially the same.

What would be the point of killing someone to silence them after they already spoke? The timing makes no sense.

I thought that they pee in droplets for the simple reason that they don't have bladders. To pee in a jet requires them to have an entire additional organ to store the pee before ejecting it.

That's not whataboutism, the issue at hand is that no one cares about conflicts unless Jews are involved, and I just proved that to you. Whataboutism would be for you to reply to me, I was the one who started the statement. And you see
