Sometimes it does mean “cheater,” but I agree that’s probably not what OP meant.
Personal growth usually involves pain, but that’s not a good reason to avoid it. Sounds like OP missed out.
I mean, Lemmy is basically an internet addict support group.
Not sure why you’re being so pushy?
Anyway, here’s the correct link. It should answer your question…

Did you read the article I linked?
I know I already said I’m out, but that’s the most truthful thing you’ve said in this entire conversation. Thanks for finally being somewhat honest.
Your entire post is a series of strawman arguments. You clearly aren’t interested in conversing in good faith, so I’m out.
“Don’t wrestle with pigs. You both get filthy and the pig likes it.”
Can you share some links to these posts that support Hamas? Are they generally up-voted, or down-voted? There are trolls on every platform.
But you don’t really care about Palestinian civilians, you only care about hating Israel.
Making these kinds of strawman, ad-hominem attacks against me makes me very hesitant to engage in any kind of serious conversation with you, but maybe that’s your intent? I am certain I haven’t said anything that would make anyone think I hate Isreal.
Good point. I wonder how big of a bar “meat production” would be. If you include shipping and all other ways it contributes to emissions I wouldn’t be surprised if it outweighs consumer vehicles.
all the other stuff they try to use to camouflage the slot machine
They get sucked in to it for the same reason people throw all their money away on real slot machines. Gambling addiction is real, and we all have our vices. IMO it should be more regulated.
What are you talking about? No one is defending Hamas.
maximizing your own civilian casualties to dissuade attack
The civilians do not belong to Hamas. What exactly do you mean by “your own civilian casualties?”
So by Hamas operating out of schools, mosques, refugee camps, hospitals, and other civilian areas, they are the ones responsible for those civilian deaths, because they are putting civilians in harms way.
No. Whoever killed the innocent people is responsible.
Yes, it is. That’s how POTUS decides how to proceed in international affairs. It’s not just some shot from the hip.
Are you saying all US presidents react to intelligence reports in the same way? That’s ridiculous. When candidates are campaigning for the office of POTUS they normally publicize the international policy that they intend to enforce. And each candidate has a unique view on international politics, even within the same party.
You don’t honestly believe both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump would act the same as Joe Biden in response to Blinkens’ intelligence reports, do you?
I’m not sure Pelosi would call Trump her “hero”
The evidence that makes the difference between conclusive and inconclusive could easily be classified. In which case it wouldn’t be shared with the public.
But not necessarily the biggest factor in making the decision.
State Dept intelligence might influence POTUS’ decisions, but it isn’t the only factor.
I don’t think you’re being downvoted because anyone disagrees with you. Of course the terrorist organization should stop terrorizing people. But your comment really comes across as apologizing for the civilian deaths.
“You’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole.”
His money gives him influence and power. That’s the real reason.
Oh, the irony… A less cynical perspective would be that as a whole humans are pretty empathetic, and most people want to live in a world where everyone is happy.
