I really don’t want to Google this one. I finally stopped getting tired of California Dreaming

Do you live somewhere where growing is legal? How did you get started? I’m interested in self growing but idk where to start, and where I live it’s not exactly allowed
The only reason anyone cares is because of post WW2 guilt and oil interests. There are other places on earth in nearly the exact same situation (two unsupportable regimes both claiming sovereignty over the same region and committing war crimes against each other) and no one cares about them, let alone even knowing what places I’m talking about, simply because there’s no oil involved. The answer is fundamentally the same as when you’re walking down the street and see two drunk guys hitting each other. You ignore them and keep walking. Some people just want to do bad things and there’s not really anything you can do to stop them. By getting involved you inherently are forced to choose sides and now are supporting someone who doesn’t deserve to be supported.
Tl;Dr of history of israel-palestine conflict:
Britain colonizes Palestine and makes it Israel
Israel recognizes this as kinda bullshit and willingly offers basically half the land to existing Palestinians and also offers full citizenship to any Palestinian who wishes to remain in what is now Israel.
Palestine refuses the deal, declares war on Israel
Israel kicks their ass, again offers a deal with less land
Palestine again says no, basically a cold war begins
Other Arab countries refuse to allow Palestinians to move there, also declare war on Israel and get their asses kicked
Terrorists begin attacking Israel from Palestine, especially from the West Bank
Those terrorists are elected to run Palestine in a free and fair election
Israel begins committing human rights violations against Palestinians
We’ve now been at this last stage for at least two decades, possibly longer but I can’t be bothered to fact check myself on the exact dates right now. And yes, this is absolutely as short as the TL;DR on this situation can get, I’m 100000% sure both sides will get upset about details I left out even in this longer story.
That’s basically agnosticism. And it’s pretty common among intellectuals, historically speaking at least
Yes but I follow rules 1 & 2 so the fact that I don’t know how to start conversations with people doesn’t matter, I get so many matches that eventually someone will put up with my bs and I can get laid
Adding onto what OP said, housing prices have literally more than doubled in the past two years, and interest rates were at record lows during that time, especially in 2020
Preaching to the choir there. But with that being said, a lot of the actual content creators on reddit have jumped ship. It’s still going but it’s not as busy as it used to be, and upvote/comment numbers are down across almost every sub whenever I look at it. There is clearly a market for that form of content, seeing how it has frequently been plagiarized by Youtubers, instagrammers, and now tiktokers for the past decade or so. If that content truly falls off then reddit will be in serious trouble.
Sure, but at the same time all of the casual redditors who somehow weren’t aware of the controversy (the ones making threads asking who spez is, for example) are now going to learn more about the controversy and be informed enough to make their own decisions on continuing to use the site. For the short term their engagement will go up but it’s very possible that their long-term engagement drops even further after this decision
They can’t have seriously thought this would work in their favor lmao
We definitely have to stop calling communities subreddits though.
I grew up in Ohio and seen a million places just like this, so I must reiterate the original question of wtf do you think Michigan looks like lmao
