Can I strong second a good pair of noise cancelling headphones. I used the Sony WH 1000 XM3 and now use the the Sony wf 1000xm4 since the latter is in-ear and easier to carry around. The noise cancellation is phenomenal. Pair this with a mi

Well that explains a lot. Seriously though, for a wealthy first world nation the levels intellectual rational debate in America is generally pretty shockingly poor.

You're arguing either in bad faith or completely devoid of reality. Lower mortgage rates allow existing property owners to pay off cheap houses and further expand portfolios, affecting supply. Meanwhile, zero property owners need to a

Personally (early 30s) this stresses me out almost every day. Just the anxiety of knowing in 10 years time I will be on the chopping block daily, regardless of how good I am. And frankly my generation has ridiculous education and housing de

No chance, AIPAC, BICOM and various lobby groups ensure politicians are in the pockets of the Israel lobby. This isn't to say other countries don't have corrupt lobbying practices. But the unilateral multibillion dollar IDF fundin

What churlish asinine myopia. Plenty of people affected by life changing disruption to their living conditions and communities. Seveal years of putting your life on hold is a big deal.

Maybe stop stealing land and attacking worshippers on the Temple Mount? Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan speak for themselves. Rockets don't just come out of nowhere for a recreational activity.

When even AP wouldn't dare criticise Israel for destroying its building in Gaza, it's clear there's a need for a counter narrative to the one sided propaganda. And the one Jewish woman who dared to open her mouth was immediat

Ironically, by your own admission, you simply highlighted Israel's infrastructure control on Gaza. So it's not merely a military occupier but controls food, water and electricity supplies to the imprisoned population. But hey, tha

Sure, how about I drop a 30 second "door knock" before I blow your life to smithereens because I feel like your 10 story building might be hiding a few kalashnikovs? Feel free to evacuate to the few hundred meters of free space in

No mention of ethnic cleansing and military checkpoint enforced apartheid where kids are harassed by fully armed soldiers? Do you want to see the B'TSelem videos? Here they detail a 5 year old child: https://www.btselem.org&

This comment struck me as hilariously American. "We". "The bad guys".

Pro Israel lobbies heavily influence American Congress. Israel receives a disproportionately unique generous backing on all fronts by Western governments, therefore they deserve extra scrutiny and should be held to account above rogue forei

I'm really glad you mentioned innocent US citizens. Have you heard of Rachel Corrie murdered by the IDF?

And thus we are in agreement: collateral damage is incidental to achieving a strategic goal.

You mean like the murder of American Rachel Corrie by the IDF which was ruled an "accident" absolving it of all responsibility?

It might be laughable to you, but perhaps you lack the perspective of random genetic luck to be born in an occupied land.

The only ethnic cleansing genocide is against the Palestinians who have their land and sea borders occupied, patrolled and militarily enforced at checkpoints. Try that with me, and I certainly will revolt violently. No offense, but these ar

Who told the US to setup bases in the middle east? It's not your land, get fucked.

Of course the only aggressor nation that has actually killed an Iranian military leader is the USA - an act of war. So try looking closer at home before taking offense on twitter.

That's not how the old BBC works. PG's submarine applies to the BBC as well, no doubt, as well as foreign lobby groups.

Large swathes of the target population are run by dictators funded by America's geopolitical strategic initiatives. We are agreed in some sense: religion is a unifying cause which leads to irrational tribalism. The point is these are s

A question I rarely see addressed during double-blind placebo studies is: how do you ensure both groups encounter the same virus exposure during the study period? Is it simply safe to assume nearly equal "average exposure" over sa
