    They are being flamed, but it may not be what you expected. Dogpiled by MAGA accounts for not thanking Trump and daring to say something that could be perceived as negative. Lots of “MaKe ThE sHoEs In AmErIcA!!!” “This is like a small farmer IN CALIFORNIA (😱) complaining about immigration laws taking away his business!!! Deal with it!!” Twitter is a cesspool.

    I also had to scroll past a ton of pro Trump and pro MAGA bullshit that this account has been spamming for the last 8 hours straight, to get to this tweet, so they’ve learned nothing and are just trying to get back in the MAGA bots’ good graces 😂

    A true sucker



  • when you don’t consider Palestinians as humans

    Quick question, were the Israeli civilians who were killed in a mass killing spree on October 7th human, too?

    I realise my other repeated question so far has been pretty tough and you’ve had to try to continuously dodge and deflect from it instead of just simply say the thing you actually think, but this one should be pretty simple and straightforward to just answer with a yes or no, right?? You kinda walked right into it, too, so.






  • against the horrific Hamas terrorist attack of October 7th, but it did not, and does not, have the right to go to war against the entire Palestinian people."

    If you look closely, you’ll find there actually are more words that follow. Keep reading.

    He did not say they “have” a right to defend themself, but “had” a right to defend themself against a specific event that occurred. He also makes clear that it is not a valid justification to go to war against all of Palestine.

    What issue do you have with his statement, exactly?



  • Block button exists for a reason. I’m using mine.

    The “Israel has a right to defend itself” line is pure misinformation. Here’s his actual quote, in full:

    “Israel, of course, had the right to defend itself against the horrific Hamas terrorist attack of October 7th, but it did not, and does not, have the right to go to war against the entire Palestinian people.”


  • It’s fun. Getting away from it all and spending some quality time with nature. Hiking yourself into exhaustion. Sitting peacefully by the fire and watching it crackle.

    Have low expectations and try to roll with whatever situations happen, things won’t be ideal or perfect. There might be rain, there might be mosquitos, it might get chilly at night, the ground might be hard where you sleep. The best thing to do is be prepared and try to keep a good attitude. There is a kind of fun to be had in persevering through any unideal situations that happen.

    Don’t approach or interact with any wild animals. They aren’t domesticated. If you encounter one, stay calm.

    There are a lot of skills needed for camping, and a good way to spend the time on the first trip is to start learning these. Like if you’ve never made a campfire before, ask your friend to teach you how to gather kindling and build the fire.

    Ironic, gallons per mile is actually a more useful measure for high fuel efficiency vehicles because it directly represents fuel consumption. Differences in MPG are more misleading to intuition as MPG increases.

    For example, upgrading from an 18mpg car to a 28mpg car (Option A) saves more fuel than upgrading from a 34mpg car to a 50mpg car (Option B). It is easy to be misled that Option B would result in more savings because it is an upgrade of 16mpg rather than only 10mpg in Option A.

    GPM does not have this problem and the differences can be compared directly, Option A in GPM is 5.5gpm -> 3.5gpm, for a difference of 2gpm while Option B is 2.9gpm -> 2gpm for a difference of only 0.9gpm, making it easy to see that the Option A is a greater impact to fuel economy than Option B.
