It's as deliberate as calling people who criticize the actions of the Israeli government anti-semites. It's disingenuous and completely intentional. That way, you can erase Palestinian civilians from the conversation altogether.

Yeah, there's so much space for them to work with, right?
All you need is a computer science degree and a dream, little buddy.
I don't think that word means what you think it means

How about not conflating "Jews" with Israel?
"gives the human shields a chance to escape from the death cult" is a WILD way to describe how millions of civilians suddenly have less than 24 hours to move south (where? Who cares?) lest they get absolutely bombed to fuck.
Doesn't help that people conflate Hamas with Palestinian civilians.
I mean, facial hair growth is literally a sign of sexual maturity in men, but you'd be hard-pressed to convince anyone that beards are sexual.
The purpose of breasts is to feed babies; they're not inherently sexual in that way. That society has labelled them as such is different and very real, but it's harmful to declare breasts as inherently sexual just because of that.
To be clear this is just semantics; Bobo is clearly in the wrong here.
Thank you so much for these running summaries, they genuinely make the whole situation actually followable for a non-American <3
This is a really interesting article on lightbulbs, which have a pretty conspiratorial past: https://interestingengineering.com/science/everlasting-lightbulbs-exist-ed
Did you know that a secret meeting was held in Geneva in 1924 between lightbulb manufacturers that lead to the formation of the 'Pheobus Cartel'?
"The main objective of this cartel was to agree to control the supply of light bulbs. Each understood that if any one of them managed to develop a long-lasting light bulb, the need for replacement bulbs would likely dry up.
Bulbs were lasting too long. Not ideal from their point of view.
So, to combat this, all members of the cartel agreed to reduce the lifespan of bulbs on purpose. Initially, this was set to no more than 1,000 hours!"
The longest-lasting lightbulb was first turned on it 1901 and is still shining.
EDIT: Seems this is a myth, see replies for more information!
