If Palestine got to have its own recognized (by everyone including Israel) and sovereign state, what other different current nation would it most likely resemble? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I've watched videos with Palestinians lamenting the good old days when they had a job that was either in Israel or with an Israelli firm that paid much better and it makes me really question whether this is about religion or past stuff at all. I wonder if all Palestinians who are offered a better life thru gainful employment and modern peaceful lifestyle with the modern amentities wouldn't warm to the idea of a pluralistic and perhaps closer to 1-state solution altho I also understand where the Israelis are coming from in terms of not wanting the muslim baggage and ongoing concerns that creates.

Religions that create such a conviction that there's another better life you can arbitrarily access if you do violence in your god's name are inherently antithetical to modern life and cohesion so I get that they would be reluctant if it came to that. There would very likely be a non-zero number of civillian deaths and incidents that would immediately be blamed on any unification

A two-state solution? Palestine is objectively less-developed and economically-developed than Israel, I don't think its realistic there's going to be a "river to the sea free of israel" type situation. Not sure whether thats what is actually being advocated for but it also seems like a point that keeps coming up over and again as I read about this.

If Israel had a far more moderate government where the leader wasn't criminally compromised, do you think it would be possible to come up with some good enough good-faith joint effort to relieve some of the tension points and allow for change?

I've read that population-wise, Palestine is over 50% young people/children. Do you think that might be key to a generational refresh that allows for compromise in producing a solution at some point if all the pieces can line up?

EDIT: I'm interested in how a free Palestine would play out in terms of what that would mean for women, gays, children, people of non-muslim religions, in terms of personal freedoms, etc. For the average citizen/denizen what would that look like?

Its interesting given Thomas' long-known and NSFW preference for worktime porn viewing and discussion and the Heritage Foundation mothership's feelings about porn. They probably prefer live-in live-action underage actors/servants to do the needful

People who make me feel like crap or worse off then when I encountered them consistently are written off and out of my life

Doesn't matter if its family, nobody is entitled to your attention and suffering and it does nobody any real good for you to succumb to the inevitable dysfunction it creates in your life and relationships and also material conditions.

It seems like a sort of idée fixe that means something, just like that twinkly bit that plays in the sad introspective theme.

Sort of like a black starry sky reflecting off an ocean of sadness. I dunno haha, it seems like it signifies something

What is the best thing to do when you drop an AirPod down the drain briefly and are able to get it quickly? (lemmy.world)
 

I've cleaned/sanitized and let it dry and everything. The audio seems fine and I'm playing that audio track that dislodges the water with sound.

Anything else I should do? Rice etc?

I like the idea of being able to convert any audio track into its equivalent piano version.

Do we have the technology to do this or is it even possible?

I've been hearing reports that "the market is way down" (due to Kamala/Democrats/god knows what else) and family members making comments that we better sell or liquidate our stocks.

I would never do that of course, but are right-wing folks actually jumping on the "sell-low" bandwagon? It seems too crazy but their media is always telling them dumb shit that kills or hurts them so its sorta par for the course in my view.

It would be nice to have a pair of glasses I could use to tune out and blur my surroundings or what I watch but I'm not sure exactly if its a thing...

Should I take away catfood once everyone's had their initial fill? (lemmy.world)
 

I wanna try an experiment but I'd also like others experience here.

I've noticed certain cats eat tok fast and also go back to extra food. I feel like if the overeaters/gulpers were let to eat last and then all food leftovers were removed afterwards we might have less instances of vomiting afterwards.

What say you, cat-owning Lemmings?
