  • There’s a lot of lobby money tied into that but there’s another policy pill that’s hard to swallow, as well. The US has stated numerous times that after the assault on Hamas is over, Palestinians should and need to be the ones to govern themselves either through a new government or the Palestinian Authority which has been kept out of power since Hamas assumed rule in the West Bank. Israel hasn’t committed to that solution and without the US, there is no one to make them commit. So if the US pulls out, now, Israel still won’t stop and the resolution will be Palestinians living under Israeli rule. There isn’t a right answer or path forward so they’re opting for the least bad, long-term.





  • The flaw of the meme isn’t that it’s picking on religion, the flaw of it is that it assumes illogical views negate logical views. Believing that angels hid golden plates in New England doesn’t negate good looks at a P&L in the same way that a Christian working at NASA that believes a dude rose from the dead doesn’t negate good math to get a satellite into space. In the same way that me being agnostic doesn’t mean I’m always logical and rational in every situation.




  • I’m not quite sure that’s true. Maybe in raw numbers, but we’re a living, breathing base of contributing users helping to keep a whole platform and community alive. It doesn’t matter if the Federation isn’t purely made up of former Reddit users as we’ve assimilated. Every contribution we make on this platform is one more that the last one doesn’t get. Votes, posts, comments, it’s all here and not there. I would very much like us to get to the size where the sports subs are active during game threads, but we’re still having an impact.
