It’s wild seeing people go “okay it’s clearly Stockholm syndrome” to freed hostages thanking Hamas, saying goodbye and smiling/waving to Hamas as the IOF takes them and then also Israel keeping hostages under tight media supervision and advising them not to speak on their experiences when in actuality what probably happened was during this time the captives learned closely the the propaganda of their government that paints Hamas and Palestinians more broadly as monsterous subhumans wasn’t true. You can’t deny that hostages have consistently reported they were treated well and that the real fear was from the constant bombardments.
Comparing that with Palestinian captives being released after years of torture and abuse, some unable to even recognize their families, mothers crying over the lost years with their children, all of them detailing the horrors they face AND the fact that israel is keeping the bodies of those who died during imprisonment to finish out their sentence, them telling release children that they will be back, banning celebrations and expressions of joy in public at the release of captives as “supporting terrorists”
Idk just the more you see the more warped everything is.

It really makes me sick to see people giving money to penny weeklies when Franklin's expedition STILL has not been found 😭 There are good men out there trapped in unimaginable temperatures and literally all that's needed is a little more funding for another rescue mission yet all you guys seem to care about are your vulgar little stories...

I swear this website has 0 reading comprehension skills. Darwin NEVER claimed we "evolved" from apes like if one of you guys actually bothered to open his new book you'll see all his arguments are backed up by evidence. He actually makes a lot of sense
#sure there's nuance like i don't fully agree with all of it #but his general theory of natural selection seems pretty sound imo

It's not problematic to acknowledge the fact that Heathcliff was a brute like he literally killed dogs in case you forgot. Anyway #rochestersweep

I love the implication here that Rochester never did anything cruel either. He literally locked his wife in the attic and lied to Jane about it 😭 like that was a pretty significant thing that happened

#oh that was SO fun to read#love the implication that not only would the very fandom way of talking carry#but also very english sounding posters saying 'yall' would also be a thing#like i know op may have intended most of these characters to be american#but “i was ill and then went for a walk by the seaside” is britishcoded

this is why the start of every good social sciences essay starts with a definition of terms
"That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about [subject] to dispute it" is such a valuable tool to have in your vocabulary and way of thinking. It's amazing how many arguments you can completely bypass by it, and usually not only will you save yourself the embarrassment of being in the wrong while arguing about something you don't know anything about, you might even learn more about the subject as you both figure out where the inconsistency between their idea of the thing and your idea of the thing even is. Sometimes it's a simple misunderstanding!
I just recently had a whole argument about whether there are rural jewish communities in Finland. Someone was offended by me making this claim - assuming that I was either denying the existence or jewishness of these people who surely must live in the woods. How dare I claim that rural jewish finns do not exist.
So we had to backtrack a little to get to an agreement about what words mean. We were both on the same page of what either of us mean by "jewish". And before we could get to "rural", the next word we'd need to settle is "community". I made a bold enough assumption that jewish people like to have a synagogue about the same as finns like to have a sauna - there's not much sense to build one just for yourself if you're only somewhere temporarily, but if you're going to settle somewhere permanently, with more than one person there who also wants to have one, obviously you'll build one.
So we agreed on the definition of "jewish community" for the context. A permanent human settlement that has enough jewish residents that they would have their own synagogue. For the context of this argument, a place that has no synagogue does not count as a permanent enough jewish residence to count as "community".
Being on the same page about that, it was time to get to the word "rural". There are exactly two synagogues in Finland - one in Helsinki and one in Turku. There used to be a third, in Vyborg, but not only was that one compeltely destroyed in Soviet bombings, the town of Vyborg itself is no longer a part of Finland, so even if the synagogue was still there, it would still not count as one.
Going through definitions systematically, I asked whether this person would consider a city of 673 000 people or a city of 200 000 people to be "rural". At this person was too mad to continue the argument, taking an offended "how was I supposed to know" -stance about the exact number and distribution of jewish communities in Finland. And all I can say is
You weren't supposed to know.
You just supposed that you knew.
