Lemmy has the least shills and bots

Because it's not popular yet. Wait until it becomes so and the inevitable enshittification happens.

Let me tell you, Western women put make up much lighter than East Asian women.

Nostalgia is a bitch that lies to you that the past is better, when it's not.

I remember someone asking what are good documentaries on evolution that doesn't say "this is why religion is BS". I cannot recall a time having watched a documentary on evolution that blatantly says that. Religion on the other hand...

Anyone with two thinking brain cells would already put two and two together and see the contradiction. When I first learned about evolution in school, I thought to myself that it contradicts what the Bible said, and my teacher and the book never even said anything explicitly. However, I somehow rationalised that god must have created beings first and evolution took course after. It is in my later formative years, through education and more reading, which made up my mind that religion overall is nonsense and the denial of reality.

You mean to tell me that industries sacrifice long term consequences for short term profit?!

I had a boss who got married when he was 40 as well. Same as others, I'm also unmarried and in early 30s, but I don't feel the need to keep up with the Joneses either. I still have many things to do before I feel the need to settle down. There are plenty of people who marry late and don't regret it. It's best to figure out first what you want before jumping the gun, simply for the sake of social conformance and then regret it. I'm sure we know of people regretting marrying early, or stick to an unhappy marriage out of insecurity or for whatever reason.

Not against you personally, but your premise sounds like a weak bothside-ism that justifies the cycle of violence. "He did first" kind of argument. "An eye for an eye makes us all blind." as Ghandi put it.

The most rational and objective bothside advocacy is the two-state solution. It seems like the mainstream neglect this and does not think outside the box. I understand that there is so much bad blood between Palestinians and Israelis, but if both sides realise they are blinded by rage, they could emulate the Northern Ireland peace agreement that ended the 20 year cycle of violence between the Irish nationalists and British unionists. Many scholars and activists from both Israeli and Palestinian side advocate for two state solution and a Northern Ireland-style peace agreement. It is just a matter of ordinary people to look past the rage. Israel is there to stay and advocating to rid Israel is like trying abort a baby. And Israel stepping on Palestinians is repeating what the Nazis did to them and thus Israel could not claim the higher moral ground.

There has to be a united civilian will to accept that both sides are here to stay, like the Irish nationalists and British unionists have done. But both Israeli and Palestinian sides have internal divisions and many support their own radical groups representing their own beliefs.

And the dude who maintains VLC do not even make money from it, at all!

There are governments that support Palestine, including Spain and Ireland. I guess the latter two are anti-Semite then.
