happy thanksgiving! the meh-est of holidays?!?!?!

recency bias

if i understand what i've been hearing about israeli attacks in gaza, it's illegal to kill civilians because of what their govt does... so like say hamas attacks israel on oct 7th, and then israel bombs the crap out of gaza. that's illegal, right?

if that's true wouldn't it make any use of nukes illegal? like no matter what... like say russia launches nukes at usa, so in retaliation usa launches nukes at russia, which is like the whole premise of the cold war, and the whole argument for having nukes in the first place... but it's illegal for usa to launch nukes even in that scenario, right?

i mean, not that anyone would care about law during the nuclear apocalypse lol... but it would undermine the whole reason for even having them in the first place.

I do not pretend to be any kind of expert on international law, but ... lol.

But it's the LAW!

lolololololol

well usually governments at least pretend to obey the law

dunno how much israel has agreed to those laws and then there is dispute about who is an innocent civilian or which targets were actually bombed but you can probably get away with killing a nominal amount of civilians anyway

international law seems to have less teeth than Booker's grandma

Halloween is the worst holiday. Thanksgiving is fine...a little cold for much of the US so they should probably move it to like September or April but otherwise it's ok and it's nice to have cranberries around.

lolololololol, you are on FIRE today.

Eat the rich and save the planet!

Join Canada for Thanksgiving!

Is cranberries code for something

Do Canadians eat turkey on their Thanksgiving?

canada genocides almost as good as usa

Filthy would you call yourself an American?

Can I get the definitive filthy take on which countries don't genocide?

Woke Tiktok of the day!

The woman is making it her life mission to save the drops of water left in used plastic drinking bottles. It's water trapped FOREVER!

It cracked me up. lolol

reluctant american? lol

i was born in sf. and my ancestors have been here for generations, some for over 10 thousand years lol

i briefly lived in canada, but other than that, i've lived here forever.

i don't have health insurance.

i can't afford a home.

i hang out with billionares.

i sit in traffic cuz no public transportation.

my choices are biden and trump.

i guess im about as american as you can get


i barely slept last night. sorry i can't do a definitive take rn

but off the top of my head, i think iceland was uninhabited when racist colonizers took it over.

good chance china and india, and lots of adjacent countries are so ancient that they didn't do much genocide, if any.

probably some of the african countries, and pacific islands

but who knows... maybe even some of the euro countries! lol... like if people migrated from africa, maybe there was no one there when they first arrived

Almost.

Turkey is very typical.

I think you won't find any countries on that list.

Edit: I didn't catch the use of the present tense. There may be some countries on the list. I think that if you go back far enough, just about every group has genocided at some point. It was probably just called war at the time.

You get a pass, kinda, for not having slept.

But: LOLOLOLOLOLOL

You have a most interesting definition of genocide.

Last night the White House Christmas tree bit the dust.
