@gocu54 @DavidGoldfield LOL you're such a nered Bruce.

Pretty much.

@gocu54 @DavidGoldfield Here let me mess up this thread even more. Rubik's Cube and its younger brother, Rubik's Snake. And old school answering machines because voicemail didn't exist. I mean the ones that took regular cassette tapes, not microcassettes. Oh and VCR's. And VHS VS. Betamax.

No I don't mean migrants. I mean Palestinians who, for example, have citizenship in Jordan, but are still discriminated against at every turn. Or Palestinians who have lived in Lebanon for decades but who can't get citizenship or work in certain careers because the Lebanese government likes using them as pawns. And don't even get me starte on Syria, under either the old or new regime.

@gocu54 @DavidGoldfield I was going to mention Tellme but Bruce got to it first.

Is there a start-to-finish manual for iOS Shortcuts? Sort of like documentation plus a function reference? Also, can I create them using my PC or do I have to use my phone. Some of the scripting I'd like to do for parts of shortcuts would be incredibly tedious on a touch screen. Thanks in advance!

@technocounselor Guess who's never getting away with counter surfing?

@gocu54 Dragging the phone down the hall so the cord stretched across the floor. Oh and call waiting kicking you off the internet.

Cool, but I'm not calling you famous until you're on TV describing the tornado.

That's bad. I hope you have a speedy recovery. And that you find a way into your phone. And that your roommate has a speedy recovery too.

Yay Athena!

If the rest of the world doesn't want Israel to do that then it has to step up instead of shrieking and blocking the temporary relocation of civilians at the beginning of the war like it did, and it can't continue disallowing voluntary emmigration by Gazans who want to leave, and it can't continue keeping them in refugee limbo in permanent camps across the Middle East while other countries treat them like shit.

What you've said in your last two posts goes an incredibly long way in the right direction And it isn't the caring about Palestinians that pushes buttons. It's the complete erasure of agency from the Gazan government, Hamas, and from those among the civilians collaborating with them that pushes buttons. What I'm asking is that you not put it all at Israel's feet simply because you don't like Netanyahu and you don't like war, because it's not like Hamas and their collaborators didn't wipe out whole families and communities and set this latest round off. I don't support Trump either. But Gazan civilians are going to have to be temporarily relocated in order for the place to be rebuilt, and Hamas has to be removed from power.

Yay provisional cable ties!

Yay! A new puppy! I expect frequent dog content.

And those are just the immediate issues. You've just spent the last 17 months getting higher and higher on your own moral supply, and you don't give a damn which people with skin in the game you torment on the way. And I've finally had enough. And it's people like you who are fuelling the rampant antisemitism in this country that people like me then have to deal with. And I have to be honest, I didn't think anyone would top the antisemitism from some Trump supports in north Georgia during 2015-2017, but then the left went "hold our latte" after October 7 and it's been ten times worse.

I get not liking the collateral damage. War sucks for everybody involved. But it's not like you've ever presented any alternative for what you think Israel should do when it's fighting a terrorist pseudostate which literally built Gaza to be the kind of battlefield that it is, with a sophisticated tunnel system where it's fighters hide when they're not using civilians as sheids and commandeering their infrastructure and stealing their food. +
