i’ll spell it out really slow like for ya if it’ll help.

israel’s treatment of the palestinian people is that of an ethnic cleansing.

they are removing their heritage sites.

flooding their farmlands during winter so they’re fucked in the spring.

constantly boxing in all palestinians that live in any of the palestinian territories that still exist.

shooting palestinian women, children

shooting journalists and medics that choose to help or report on the situation.

bulldozing their land and homes to make room for new israeli settlers that will happily steal that land from the palestinians.

responding with disproportionate force after palestinians are goaded into defending themselves. one molotov should not equal days of missile strikes.

they have consistently “accidentally” targeted school buildings and hospitals for missile strikes during disproportionate responses.

basically all of these actions amount to ethnic cleansing, which is a facet of genocide.

israel’s M.O. is to act like nazi lite, then when the world takes notice and outrage occurs, they back off. during that time, they lobby the US government and pull strings and make threats.

and if you criticize israel at all for their behavior on the world stage? well then you’re just a fucking antisemite, and they’ll be quick to call it that.

they spend some of the most money of any world government using social media teams to protect their country’s interests.

you’re looking at smarter nazis with better PR and lots of money.

and also yes

edit: cancel that. i’m an idiot

i’ll try my damnedest. i got stubbornness and spite and hope all working overtime

oh there are lots of ways.

unfortunately a lot of the time, it doesn’t get any easier.

that being said, it all starts with knowing and understanding that, if you love who you are, those mistakes helped make you who you are.

personally that helped me come to peace with the fact that i had fucked up so badly.

next is atonement to yourself and others. that means learning to prevent the mistake from occurring again in the future, helping others that you recognize are making the same mistake so that they don’t have to suffer like you did, and if you hurt someone, apologizing to that person for both their and your own healings sake. sometimes it also means apologizing to yourself.

you do have to understand, though, that people change over time. our mistakes make us who we are. and you are not the same person you were when you originally made the mistake.

last and most unpleasant advice i can give is to allow the feelings to wash over you. our brain is capable of experiencing so many emotions, and each emotion serves a very important purpose. we tend to lead lives that shy away from the unpleasant emotions, but there is value to be had in experiencing them. feeling the shame of making a mistake can drive you to never make that mistake again. that’s valuable, even if it is unpleasant for a time.

it gets better bro.

all i have to say is show me one truly original thought that doesn’t have a basis in other thoughts and i’ll start thinking this AI learning other people’s styles is a bad thing.

just one.

unfortunately for everyone poo pooing it, the fact of the matter is everything is a remix of a remix of a remix. ai is just one more step in a long line of steps of mimicry and adaptation.

and if someone carbon copies someone else’s work, that’s really obvious and then gets called the fuck out. but if you are taking someone’s style and combining it with subjects they’d never use and other styles, then you’ve just used ai to do the exact thing we’ve always done.

this knee jerk reaction stuff, honestly, i can’t wait for it to dissipate

oooh,

sprawled across the floor the cat and its belly trap set waiting to commence

because cisco fears change and doesnt innovate technologies so much as acquire other companies’ tech and frankenstein it into their portfolio.

i feel you bro. people in here talking shit like they don’t know that some net devices are literally made for webgui first and foremost, and programmatic changes don’t work for every api even if it says it’s supported (fucking looking at brocade).

if you’re used to cisco cli, shit like juniper or palo alto or f5 can be intimidating when looking at the configs.

but i swear to fucking god if you use gui instead of cli for cisco, we gon have words.

about who? what? must’ve been the wind

none of them, i’d rather not have any extra data on me out there that’s digitally storing it anywhere, even locally.

i keep my odometer and a pulse monitor with me, but they’re both local dumb.

eh DHCP isn’t really important right? obviously if it hasn’t changed since the 80’s why would you need to reboot your server.

what are vulnerabilities?

i worked for a hybrid hosting and cloud provider that was partnered with Electronic Arts for the SimCity reboot.

well half way through they decided our cloud wasn’t worth it, and moved providers. but no one bothered to tell all the outsourced foreign developers that they were on a new provider architecture.

all the shit storm fail launch of SimCity was because of extremely shitty code that was meant to work on one cloud and didn’t really work on another. but they assumed hurr hurr all server same.

so you guys got that shit launch and i knew exactly why and couldn’t say a damn thing for YEARS

good things corporations are people too so their votes they paid for count right?
