I'm as fatigued with bad Star Trek as I am with bad Star Wars now.

I'm honestly not excited to hear of any new Star Trek until they have a major change to show runners, or enough people who enjoy classic and 90s Trek come out and say, "oh wait this new one is great".

I'm reading the study to find the part where it says that these participants didn't have any social or societal support to attempt to deal with their other problems.

Oh right - sorry I see now that you were just vocalising the chip on your shoulder.

Haha claiming the sun is "energy intensive" is some new mental gymnastics that I'd not heard before.

Will ignore you now 👍

"Commissioned in March by Pennsylvania State University and conducted by Tamir Sorek for the Israeli polling firm Geocartography Knowledge Group, the survey polled a representative sample of 1,005 Jewish Israelis. It posed a series of "impolite" questions – topics typically avoided in mainstream Israeli polling – about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

"Energy intensive".

There are also commercial versions that are designed for permanent use. Again, zero energy use.

Generally when you make a claim, its on you to back it up with evidence, not everyone else to 'prove you wrong'. "God is real, prove me wrong."

I would not put any stock in anything Thunderfoot claims, he's a grifter and makes profoundly dumb arguments.

Source is biased obviously, but contains many, many references: https://skepchick.org/2025/01/thunderf00t-is-still-an-ignorant-loser/

82% of them are happy to expel all Gaza's Palestinian residents, that doesn't sound like people who experience shame for their governmeng killing ~40k civilian women and children over the last few years.

A further 56% favour expelling all Israeli citizens with Palestinian bloodlines and a lovely 47%..

agreed that "when conquering an enemy city, the Israel Defense Forces should act as the Israelites did in Jericho under Joshua's command – killing all its inhabitants." Sixty-five percent said they believed in the existence of a modern-day incarnation of Amalek, the Israelite biblical enemy whom God commanded to wipe out in Deuteronomy 25:19. Among those believers, 93 percent said the commandment to erase Amalek's memory remains relevant today.

I'm not seeing much conscience or shame in those numbers.

There are significant patterns with Israel's government protecting those who abuse minors, and more widely in the US within the orthodox Jewish community - not unlike the Catholic Church abuse systemic protection. It's all rarely reported on, however this article & video discusses how the institutions are so disinterested in helping that citizen-run foundations are resorting to travelling to Israel and performing citizens-arrests to get any kind of justice for the victims - and this is only successful if the accused have offended in Israel as well as abroad.

I'm hopeful this leads to being able to play older Android games.

One of the things that sucks about Android is that as the versions march on they raise the API requirements (ostensibly for security), which leaves old games being unable to run on new devices.

I have a bunch of games purchased om Humble Bundles over the years that now just refuse to run on my Android devices as their API target level is too old.

I'm 95% sure this is parody because if it was real there's no way this person's family would ask them to host Thanksgiving. And nobody blocks 443 on a guest wifi.. that'd block everything they'd even need the guest wifi for.
