Really not a good angle for Trump, he looks old, fat and bald

11th time's the charm! Though crazily I'm still pro-space exploration enough that I'm still really rooting for these guys even with the Musk association

This was the lesson I learned from Unforgiven where Clint Eastwood's secret to gun fighting is to just stay cool and take the time to aim rather than blasting away

I like the idea that Skynet isn't actually all that superintelligent, just an overpowered version of the AI you play video games against that was foolishly given the controls of the real military

So you're saying it's not Trump because he's so openly villainous?

You can always delete your account rather than doing these weird drive by hecklings of people far more familiar with the situation than you are

What's the different standard in this case?

Big Worker @bigworker.bsky.social · 1d
Population dynamics are complex of course, there are certainly people from everywhere you describe living there. But the main ingredient in the Palestinian genetic mix is the local Levantine population that has been there for thousands of years.

Yeah exactly, some people wrongly believe that the Arab conquest represented a population replacement rather than a new ruling class taking over and eventually having its language and religion adopted by many of its new subjects
bigworker.bsky.social
Big Worker @bigworker.bsky.social · 1d
Oh yeah certainly not saying they're not a mixed group, just heading off the all too common claim that the Palestinian population are "Arabs" who arrived at the time of the Islamic conquest or later rather than the reality of them having very very deep roots in the area

I just made a quick post and then have perhaps foolishly been answering people's replies. I think having reached the point where you're just insulting me for having the conversation we're in the middle of it's time to say goodbye

I don't think anyone but you has come up with claiming I think hummus is uniquely Palestinian - in fact the Israeli version of that claim is exactly what I'm arguing against

Hmm now I definitely know you didn't read the whole thread because I did not post that meme
bigworker.bsky.social
Big Worker @bigworker.bsky.social · 1d
Calling this meme making fun of ridiculous Israeli claims about their cuisine antisemitic based on a very loose analogy with Nazi claims about Jews sure is an example of what I'm talking about
bigworker.bsky.social
Big Worker @bigworker.bsky.social · 1d
I'd need either evidence of it being created by a Nazi or for the meme to have Nazi content to use that label and have seen neither

You are really embarrassing yourself here with this "Nazi meme" stuff, grow up

Kind of sounds like you are the antisemitic one with that analysis. I'd say they have as much right to the culture they're part of as anyone else - the problematic thing is when it's renamed and rebranded to imply they're the *only* ones with a right to it
