Without a doubt.

I just ordered a pedal steel guitar yesterday and there's a chance it will arrive today. If it does, I will be spending some quality time with my new instrument. I have a rehearsal this afternoon for a gig next week as well.

I'll be spending time with my wife, perhaps playing some video games with my best friend, and likely playing some disc golf tomorrow.

I'm waiting for the IOF to make a very public display of the apache gunners who shot indiscriminately at the festival, or the tank commanders firing indiscriminately at homes in the kibbutzim. Your argument falls flat when the Israeli army not only is killing thousands of civilians in Gaza (and are proud of it btw), but also their own citizens on Oct 7.

Reminder that there was a 56 year occupation and a 75 year ethnic cleansing before the 7th of October attacks

You're absolutely right that there will be variance, and that each side has incentive to inflate death counts, etc. Other orgs will likely not produce their own numbers until after this mess is over. Check the Wiki pages or B'Tselem pages on previous assaults on Gaza to see how the numbers can vary, that'll give you an idea at least.

Sorry, but I have been an advocate for Palestinian rights for years. I'm not just shilling out propaganda on the day of a massacre. As I type this, the confirmed death tolls have Israelis near 100 while Palestinian deaths are near double that. So if you want to start talking about massacres, just so far today Israel has caused more death, let alone the days, weeks, months, years and decades prior to today.

Point made. Sadly it's true. Especially today as we spend trillions on technology designed to kill.

Killing - no matter the victim is inhuman.

Believing one side has the right to kill while the other must take it, is pretty gross.

"Slaughtering civilians in the streets" is precisely what the IDF does on the regular, just so you know. It's hard to imagine any group of people would live under military occupation for 70+ years after being forced to leave their homes for refugee camps without the desire to fight for their freedom.

Happy birthday to all of our OG dungeon master! Without him our lives would be vastly different I reckon.

I finally committed myself to getting BitWarden set up, maybe a year ago. I wish I had done it sooner. I use it to generate all my passwords, and I have it installed on my phone and desktop. I love remembering only one password and knowing all my other passwords are secure. For me it's a no-brainer.
