Fair enough. I am not sure how far Israel will go with expansion into Lebanon and I don't know the measure of displacement and death that would constitute it as an attempted genocide, so I can't really argue against that.

Here's to hoping!

The tightness of Abdul's primary kinda has me worried. Apparently, there was an amount of Republicans who signed into the open Democratic primary to try to tank his chances. I don't think we have the numbers for how many yet, but it will be concerning if it is only a small portion.

A bunch of interviews have shown that a lot of the people who voted for Trump just wanted a change candidate, who ended up doing the opposite of delivering. Hopefully those people will come out swinging for change candidates of the opposite flavor.

Ngl, using their political leverage to try to end two instances of genocide does look pretty good, even if it is just for self-preservation.

I don't think all liberals are enemies, but I do acknowledge the reality that certain Democratic liberals in power are attacking progressives and lending crediance to right-wing attacks.

Nuance is a learned skill when it comes to sensitive/trending topic discourse.

For anyone reading this, please learn more about topics you have a gut reaction to so you can better explain the pros and cons. You will be able to hold your own against people who know more about the topic, but refuse to acknowledge the cons, if you do.

Fun Fact: The Iranian demands include a cecation of hostilities against Palestine and Lebanon.

The six conditions include ... a permanent end to attacks against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and Iraq...

On the electoral side, people are starting to not take it... Anymore.

Just gotta hope it is enough to outweigh the fear mongering of the right and liberals.

My bad, guys. I needed to upgrade my rig. I am planning to play BF7.

Nah, that was something else.

I would imagine it will either be a 1 or a 10. With how the previous movies were written, it will be interesting to see what they will make.

Really a difference between watching it in theater or not, for me.
