  • Genuine response, I’m not trying to argue or be feisty, I’m honestly curious:

    I was raised with Zionist views and so my background and knowledge leans very pro-Israelie Jews. I’m hearing your words and when I then follow the last sentence with “so then where do the Israelie Jews go who are being claimed to take the homes of the Palestinians?” I’m brought to a drop in the path as my knowledge says that the homes they’re in (not literally but same location) are their original homes. So, the question is: if we give Palestinians their homes back in Jerusalem and throughout Israel, where do those now displaced people go? Russia, Germany, Poland, etc? Those aren’t their original homes either, they were displaced to there earlier and then had to flee from there eventually as well.

    I would really appreciate a continuation of your reasoning or solution-ing - not as a challenge but to understand what happens after the Palestinians get what they need/want. The immediate answer displaces Israelie Jews, yet again, and it’s frustrating as no one comes out and says that straight up. I think that’s where a lot of the frustration in conversations comes from as the silence on that followed question leads to it being perceived as anti-semetic rhetoric eventually being answered as “fuck them - they’re from nowhere and have no claim or right to any land” which eventually leads to the jump of “they’re not worth anyone’s time” which leads to worse.

    Please note: I’m not inviting name calling or rude comments, I’m purely looking for a civil discussion to broaden my views and am open to alternative viewpoints from my own.









  • Universal copy - turns your screen into a notepad basically where you can copy any text currently showing on it - super handy for a multitude of things

    Twilight - you can set a timer or match it with the sunset/sunrise to redshift your screen to help ease the transition to bedtime by negating the blinding blue screen. I have it set to an hour before I’m supposed to be in bed and love it.

    If you have a Samsung: Goodlock - shit let’s you customize to your heart’s content without the need for a different launcher. Pretty awesome imo for a low barrier entry customized phone setup.

    Marco Polo - I use this with my family constantly since we live across the world from each other; it’s a short video messaging service where you communicate with short videos and history is kept indefinitely. Like snapchat but no disappearing ability and no ads or influencer shit. They also handle it pretty well when you lose a loved one by preseving their account separate from their phone number as, obviously, they won’t have ownership of that anymore. Good dev team who listens to feedback and not owned by a bigger corp afaik.
