Will Trump also shut down the Gazan government over healthcare spending and have all the homeless palestinians arrested?

Re-adjacent so putting it here:

And what’s different with this one than all the other ones we had in the past?

Don't care. Palestine will be free. Y'all can keep browbeating about poor first world Americans while brown folx get killed day after day by IDF. Americans can experience some discomfort for once in their capitalistic lives.

I think Era should be fine with this trade. They got a BBC in Assassins Creed Japan, all it cost them was the chuddification of the Sims.

The British Broadcasting Network is in Assassin's Creed Japan? Seems like a mismatch if you ask me

Welp, that'll do it. After almost 5 months and over 2100 miles I've finished my thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. I really don't know what to say, it's an odd feeling. No more walking I guess. Thank you all for being a part of this journey of mine. I think I'll sleep for a bit now. Wet John out

Oh, and they actually did discuss the Trump Gaza plan in the Mega thread. They are not fans.

This won't be accepted by Hamas as it stands. Arab countries also have a number of issues with this plan.

This plan is basically Trump's push for the US and Israel to occupy Gaza forever.

Surprised Israel committed to not annexing Gaza with that plan.

Doubt it'll be successful because either Hamas won't disarm, or they will, and Israel will just say they didn't and kill everyone anyway.

Peace plan sounds like a trap, its one sided and overseen by US who will always place Israeli interests (including genocide) above any Palestinian relief. Isreali forces will remain, IDF to train (and i assume paid by arab nations) Palestinian security forces which i assume will codify a pact to keep control of Palestine in Tel Aviv. They (Israel) will exit in "phases". Complete joke. Non-starter.

This isn't going to work at all, only way forward and to remove Hamas is to remove Israeli + US presence from Palestine, we keep going in circles because US is not an good faith actor, they'll favour Israel in all decisions and we'll be back with the need to resist Israeli brutality/atrocity and another military attack on Palestine will follow. These guys don't want peace. They want real-estate and profit. A real and lasting peace can be achieved if Arab nations are allowed to govern without Israeli or US involvement.

Ctrl+F: Recognition of Palestine as a state

"0 results found"

It's a trap

Something tells me that they're actually banking on Hamas not accepting disarmament, so when Hamas rejects the plan as a result, the US and Israel can throw up their up their hands and say, "Welp! We tried!," and then they can blame Hamas for whatever comes after.

Nobody's falling for Trump and Netanyahu's bullshit. Trump says the PA will "eventually" take control of Gaza while Netanyahu says the PA never will.

These are the same people that pretended to engage in nuclear talks with Iran while conspiring to bomb the country. It's all deception.

Hamas weren't presented with any of this and haven't agreed to it, why would they? The fact is that there's a fuckton of pressure on the US and Israel right now and a fake peace plan like this is intended to take the wind out of the sails of the anti-Zionist, anti-Genocide movement. We saw this same song and dance in January.

what is stopping Israel from breaking said agreement at anytime once it suits them? they've done it time and time again

Two war criminals wanting to install a war criminal to run it.

It's just colonialism.

Fuck Israel, the US and anyone supporting this.

Chud. Y'all don't understand, this time the US and Israel really mean it. It's totally not going to backfire like they want it to when Hamas refuses the deal while the US and Arab states who don't care about Palestine in the first place shake their head and wag a finger at Palestinians while the IDF rolls in for another killing spree.

That's not going to happen at all.

It is news like this that makes me wonder if we have passed a point of no return. BF6 is going to have plenty of people who support this deal and the people behind it. They will love having [TRMP] clan tags and a place where they can bully, hate, and ridicule. Ironically, BF games were not always the place for people who cared about themselves more than the team or the objective. It is somewhat ironic that BF6 will be a source of revenue for oppression and will recruit those who support it while pretending to be a game about sacrifice and working together as a team.

Imagine thinking the Saudis and dodgy American financiers who now own EA give a flying fuck about the content of the games...

As a progressive Muslim I hate everything the Saudi Government stands for but I have to be honest, some of this commentary is verging on Islamophobic dogs whistles that is mainstay of the right wing. The Saudi government is hardly the bastion of Islamic thought, they do plenty of things that are against sharia and haram as long as it aligns with their self preservation goals. Their adherence to religion is cosmetic at best, the PIF owns plenty of things around the globe without having given much thought to their religious permissibility.


We should be critical of the acquisition of a gaming company by an authoritarian government that would force its views on the products. But fearmongering this as "Big bad Islamic country owns MA Games now" is not the way to go about it. Because it makes one sound like parroting right wing points.

Some of the posts were making me uncomfortable as well.

What is a progressive Muslim stance? That women can drive, but only during daylight hours?

Trump is slowly consuming all USA media companies (TV, film, videogames, etc) through the use of MAGA partners and other shady sources all while slowly making foreign made media more "out of reach":
https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps-tariffs/article/us-to-impose-100-tariff-on-movies-made-outside-the-country/

I hope everyone here can see what is happening. Eventually everything in North America will be controlled by MAGA and anything not controlled by MAGA will be blocked via always increasing tariffs. Don't forget MAGA took over Twitter, TikTok, Paramount, and are now going for Warner Brothers as well.

I 100% expect most gaming companies to be blocked in North America (including Nintendo) in the not too distant future. Feel free to bookmark this post.

As opposed to everything in America being controlled for the past 20 years by the progressive left and its stupid identity politics?

Universities, entertainment, technology all beholden to "progressive" politics that promoted cancelling, censorship, witch hunts, sexually repressive media, and discriminative hiring practices that judged candidates by the colour of their skin. 

Hold up, maybe MAGA was in control this whole time...

[Potato]

It kinda fits with the Football Club stuff and everything. Maybe they'll get the FIFA license back.

But yeah if Mass Effect wasn't dead yet, it certainly is now.

This deal certainly is the worst case scenario for a publisher like EA and their employees. 
They'll squeeze and milk EA sports and Battlefield. More slop for the slop machine.

Big Dan Burn gonna be FC27 cover star!!!!

The diversity this SA denier/wellackshualist is referring to is the diversity of thought and perspective and that can come from countless different experiences and people. It’s not required to come from Autistic people, moron.

I think the article is saying that by evolution developing our brains, it opened up the possibility for neuro-atypical people, similar to how color-blindness can only happen to species that can see color.

It's this. Our big brains are so advanced that sometimes things go wrong and don't work as they should.

I have wondered if it is an evolution of sorts before.

Lol, no, you moron. This is the type of thinking that leads people to self diagnose as neuro-i'mnotliketheothergirls.

Although now I'm wondering what the world would look like if everyone was autistic (not self diagnosed kind).

It also helped when different "levels" of autism used to have different names to help make them more easily differential and nuanced, now they're all just lumped as one big diagnosis on the spectrum... which was helpful to who exactly? I never understood the reason for this.

It's like how we had different labels for people who genuinely believe that are the opposite sex, and people who were massive perverts. Who was this helpful to, exactly?

I have wondered if it is an evolution of sorts before.

You mean "mutation" unless you're claiming it's passed down from generation to generation as a trait that enhances the chances of successful reproduction.

Fine, I'll look at the thread out of hatred.

Makes sense to me. Always have to explain how things are to neurotypicals.

There has been some clear evidence around this with regards to ADHD, too. Something about prehistoric people with ADHD being particularly good gatherers and explorers

I can believe that. As someone with ADHD, both types of tasks seem like something I would absolutely excel at, even if I struggle immensely with structure and organization in day to day life.

Onto the study itself: Well...yea. Given that the human brain is what made us who we are today, it makes sense that there would be evolutionary impacts to that, especially as our brain continues to evolve to the rapidly changing world we create.

But that's not happening. Also it's not evolution.

Anyway, the groomer got called out:

You probably mean well, but I know people with autistic kids - my brother included - who would find this extremely offensive.

As I'm sure you know, autism is a wide spectrum. I know that it can be debilitating and it can be a significant challenge for parents in certain cases, but I also know plenty of autistic people who make positive contributions to society. I know parents that wouldn't change a single thing about their autistic child, and parents that would.

What I was trying to get in my post is that I believe diversity of neurotypes is beneficial to a society. Neuro diverse people might offer solutions to problems that another group only containing one neurotype wouldn't come up with, and everyone in the more diverse group benefits from that solution no matter their neurotype.

It can be beneficial in a certain environment to being small or tall, evolutionarily speaking. If someone can reach higher fruits, or sneak into smaller spaces to retrieve resources, the whole community can benefit from that... but at a point being too small or too tall becomes a disability to that individual. If an environment is selecting for 'tall' you're going to get more individuals that are *too* tall than in an environment that doesn't. But if there's another community in the same environment who aren't likely to produce tall individuals, they're going to be out competed.

I apologize if any of this is coming over as too clinical or academic. I love a wide number of neurodiverse people who see their diversity as a net positive, and I agree with them. I recognize that many people don't feel that way too. But as to the question of how evolution drove us to where we are, I think nature does indeed select for diversity of neurotypes, even if that leads to some members of the community where the difference in how their brain works offers little to that community and is a challenge for that individual and their family.

What in the fucking environment is selecting for "neurodiversity" like autism or schizophrenia or any of this? Especially on an evolutionary timescale?
