It’s a half-pun about actual piracy. Not sure if illegal fishing is actually considered piracy, but that’s the idea.

Why did they even do that?

Amazing. Depressing, but amazing.

Stochastic terrorism folks.

So nothing about the claim Biden just made?

Then where’s the evidence? Biden lost his credibility the moment he said he saw pictures of the 40 dead babies.

car makers just jack up their prices so they make more off the subsidy

Exactly.

Really we should be subsidizing EVs from our own manufacturers.

You are. Still not doing much to corporate greed.

It does, but that’s the thing: It does either way. There should be no change due to the conversion of energy to mass.

Correct me if I am wrong, but as I understand it mass and energy is equivalent no?

Yes.

And it also still baffles us as to why rest mass and resultant mass from energy should be equivalent at all?

I don’t know about this one. I’m not an expert so don’t quote he on it, but I don’t remember hearing this before.

No no that’s a completely different phenomenon. This is the phenomenon involved in Hawking’s radiation and similar.

It’s that they’re using a more normal people term. They probably wanted to say vacuum.

So I wonder, even if it’s only appearing very briefly it’s still going to exert some small gravitational effect.

I don’t think so. Remember: This is energy being converted to mass, not mass coming out of nowhere.

Nope, they actually appear and disappear. The idea is that even in vacuum there’s a certain amount of background energy and that energy can randomly turn into matter-antimatter pairs in what is basically the inverse of matter-antimatter annihilation.

But that doesn’t mean I have to think Hamas are the good guys.

Okay Hamas are not good guys, not at all. While I don’t think persecuting war criminals is viable in Gaza even if they wanted to, even setting that aside they have a lot of not very good deeds under their belt. That said, they can’t be blamed for taking hostages. It sucks for them and their families, no doubt about that, but on the other hand we have 2mil+ people’s lives at stake. The hostages, and the Israeli administration’s blatant disregard for their lives, have been a decisive issue in pitting the Israeli public against the government. They’re also Hamas’s only card in negotiations, or in other words the only currency Hamas has to pay for Gazan lives and “freedom”. It sucks that lives are being used as currency, but that’s a case of don’t blame the player, blame the game. Of course the actual treatment of hostages during and after October 7th is a different story and there’s some Hague-worthy nonsense there, but the statement “Hamas took hostages on October 7th” has nothing indictable on its own.

You’re also missing the fact that regardless of the target, the attack was launched from a civilian structure.

So:

1-All above-ground structures in Gaza are civilian structures. Do you think Israel would allow Hamas to have an above-ground military base?

2-It was launched 350m from a civilian shelter. In Rafah, one of the most overcrowded cities on Earth. It’s a surprise there’s a place that far from a civilian shelter.

Also actually read the comment and post before replying.

Honestly no. Bad representation is worse than no representation. This is an extreme example, but just look at Muslim representation in Western media. I mean just take the extremist terrorist Muslim, or the idea that Muslim women are oppressed and need to be “liberated” from their hijab.

Again this is an extreme example but this is what bad representation is; it reduces a group of people into a few stereotypical character traits. As a Muslim I’d rather Islam not be represented at all if this is what that representation will be.

Man Israel was literally founded on a successful Lebensrsaum scheme.

Yes. We’re comparing two countries run by Lebensraum human trash.

And? Babylonian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine conquests? Crusades? Ottomans deporting them from Tel Aviv and Gaffa? We just went over this, keep up.

Those are all Europeans. They have 0 relation to anybody in the region today (except the Ottomans who are in kind of a weird spot).

Nonviolent occupation under UN sanctions. Really spooky stuff.

Nonviolent. Nonviolent? Do you believe what you just said?

You’re going to have to provide sources for this. You’re genuinely coming across as extremely predisposed to pardon any attempt of complete, violent obliteration by Israel’s neighbors.

Uh… Egypt had to declare a whole other war to get Israel to give back Sinai. The Golan heights are effectively Israeli territory today. Palestinians needed the first Intifada to get a semblance of nominal independence. Israel never gave back anything willingly.

Anyway I won’t engage any further, but you need some serious introspection if you actually believe the nonsense you just said.
