Disarming Israel will make the war stop just like how disarming Ukraine would make that war stop as well.

Do you really think she chose that shirt specifically to signal her disregard for those children, despite knowing exactly how the media would react? Or perhaps it was just an unfortunate coincidence? Does everyone close to Donald need to be equally terrible?

For all I know, while Donald was threatening North Korea with nuclear holocaust, Melania was campaigning against online bullying. She seems quite reasonable person to me.

It’s the kind of conflict where the answer to the question “who started it?” entirely depends on how far back you begin looking.

As a photographer I feel like the same thing could be said of it. Especially when talking about film or polaroid cameras, it doesn’t take much longer than a few seconds to take the picture. I can’t even write a prompt for gen-AI in that time.

AI doesn’t copy pre-existing art. It’s influenced by it. Human artists take influence from prior artwork just as well as AI does. Nobody is creating art in a vacuum.

AI is not an artist any more than a paint brush is. Neither can generate anything on their own. They’re tools.

Most AI art haters only hate it after they’ve learned it’s made by AI. In reality it’s next to impossible to tell a well made AI art from human made digital art for example. Ofcourse everyone claims they can immediately tell the difference but even they know they’re kidding themselves. It’s gatekeeping, pure and simple.

There’s plenty of really good AI art and generating it is not as simple as they often make it to be.

Yeah good point. Fair enough. Didn’t put these two together the first time I read it.

He’s talking about shooting people coming to his house but the title talks about shooting shoplifters

I’m not seeing any messages about murdering shoplifters thought. The only examples given were:

“I wish they would come into my house.”

“I will fucking murder them.”

With the benefit of hindsight we all would.

Attacking me personally (ad hominem) for a view I don’t even hold isn’t an argument against what I’m actually saying. I don’t know what you imagine you’re achieving with this inflammatory style of commenting and strawmanning your opponent’s arguments.

Residential buildings that Hezbollah intentionally set up a headquarters in the basement of.

At no point has anyone claimed it’s only been terrorists in those buildings.

Not willing to, but having to because there’s a terrorist HQ / ammunation storage in the basement or a missile launcher on the school / mosque / hospital yard that they themselves didn’t agree to.

Being detered by human shields means that more human shields are used. It’s the same logic as refusing to pay ransom for kidnappers. The opposite would just encourage more kidnappings.

That’s what so many are unwilling to aknowledge. Civilian deaths are only issue for the western nations. Not to these extremists. Being martyred lands them into heaven. Not only is this a non-issue for them but it’s actually a good thing. They get to heaven and western media will slam Israel for it. Win-win.

What does this even mean?

The 17 red lines before were just bluffs but this time they really mean it

Also the fact that there’s always going to be falsely convicted people getting murdered. I can’t think of a greater injustice than sentencing someone to death for a crime they didn’t commit. I’ll rather have multiple murderers walk free than sentence an innocent man to death.

You should probably go try it out yourself and discover that it’s not actually being blocked and it never has.
