Great read! Drives home just how bad it is when companies design things to be disposable.

Everyone forgot about the kids in cages too.

They remember when it’s politically expedient.

I went back a couple times because no instance has really got a large MMA community at this point and reddit had an active sub on r/mma.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been away for a while, but it did seem like there was a lot of anger.

It’s awful newspeak to say “southern Lebanon”. I’m originally from there and have family there. The entire country is less than 150 miles from tip to tip.

It’s a way of segmenting the country to not sound bad. Israel is again bombing Lebanon. There is no country called “southern Lebanon”.

I’ve seen this language used for years to justify bombing and occupation.

It’s another case of white, European colonists committing genocide against an indigenous population.

20 years from now, it’ll all be “oh how awful” and they’ll make Dances with Wolves style sad movies about it.

As imperfect as Ba’athist governments were, they were objectively better than what’s followed.

I wonder if very many Americans even know how the US has systematically targeted and destroyed pan-Arab, socialist leaning governments.

My whole family is lactose intolerant or milk allergic. My son is too.

Having to navigate a no dairy diet at daycare or school is difficult.
