Meanwhile, Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine are trying to make the galaxy a safer place.

Nobody do this. It's completely ruined my CoD rank.

Thought crimes are next on the todo list. Why do you think we want your AGI logs?

Yeah, I mean...

Not Greta though? I know this seems like a weird tipping point considering all we've seen, but I don't know how I'd handle that.

When will these fucking idiots give up? Like we're ever going to give up privacy? Yeah, right after self-determination, you fucks.

Is anyone else genuinely and seriously concerned? Surely they wouldn't, right?

No pressure? You don't think being upset about it counts? Does it count as pressure when she's upset with you about something? Is your version of freedom the one where we're all free to do things your way?

Is it all about the culture gap, or maybe it isn't about the culture gap at all? Maybe it's about the culture gap as she perceives it, rather than the culture gap as you perceive it?

Maybe you should start putting the person you love first? Perhaps that's in your own best interests anyway? Maybe you're just bad at being selfish?

In June 2025 are you seriously trying to say that Hamas is motivated by end of days hadith? Palestinians are a marginalised ethnic group, to put it mildly. They don't need religion for motivation.

I was speaking generally. Are you talking specifically about Hamas? I think they're probably upset about a lot more than end of days hadith. What makes you think they have a specific focus on that? Genuine question.

In my experience, I've not seen any of the Abrahamic faiths ever focus on end of days in any material literal sense. I'm not that familiar with the typical US Evangelical or Israeli perspective, which is probably relevant. Evidently, they can sometimes interpret "Promised Land" in the literal sense, rather than a metaphor for a state of enlightenment or inner peace or anything like that. So, you might be right.

The hadith is secondary commentary. It is supposed to be considered (in its historic and underlying Quranic context), rather than followed. As a third party, what can we conclude from reading it in isolation without any real world evidence or reference to the actual Muslim people giving it that consideration? Nothing beyond speculation.
