Borrow someone's computer? Use one at your local library?

This is Israel's version of de-escalating an escalating conflict. Disgusting animals.

A supervisor should understand the concept of respecting people's boundaries. You could always say something like "Hey I'm not really in the mood to talk right now" or "This isn't something I want to talk about". Just a fair warning if you do this, you might get labeled as the odd one the same way you mentioned if you go to HR (the HR one would be a bit worse if I'm being honest).

You can buy a raspberry pi and have Pihole setup on it. It'll act as your local dns server and block any ad domains for the whole household.

There's no problem with that. It's clear based on your responses that you're just trying to understand it and wrap your mind around it. Just thought to give you a heads up about the term in case you start using it or something.

I see where you're coming from. Just keep in mind that the original intent of the group has been stolen a long time ago, something like 10 years ago at this point. At this point these people aren't a sub-group of incels. They've completely co-opted the term and rebranded the incel term. Anyone who was originally incel for the right reasons has run off so far away from this term they might as well be in another planet. And I don't blame them, who wants to be lumped into misogynistic assholes who fantasize about killing and raping women as well as underage girls simply because they think they're entitled to sex?

It started off as people who are involuntarily celibate due to unfortunate circumstances. It ended up being co-opted by individuals incapable of self-reflection and self-improvement to understand that their celibacy is entirely based on their lack of hygiene and attitude towards women. They would rather blame the world for their problems instead of owning up to them and making positive changes in their lives.

Does identifying as an incel automatically come with those negative beliefs around gender and society, or should those two have separate terms?

Absolutely, yes. Incel culture is one of misogyny and sexism. People identifying as incels are typically the ones who blame women for not wanting to have sex with them while doing nothing to make women actually want to have sex with them.

My advice to you OP is stay far away from individuals and communities identifying as incel or pro-incel.

Except my comment wasn't regarded the California DoJ. It was regarding Kamala Harris. She spearheaded the initiative to take down the site. She talked about it and used it as a talking point on how tough she is on human trafficking. Except, what actions did she actually take on human trafficker's? Why go for the platform that is easily replaceable and not the actual people perpetrating it? All she ended up doing was creating an environment that is less safe for sex workers and victims of human trafficking.

There has been one temporary ceasefire with hostage releases.

And there have also been instances of Netanyahu sabotaging getting hostages released as well.

Also remember the recent ceasefire for vaccinations.

You mean for polio right? The disease that started spreading because of Israel's commitment to depriving children of basic human rights like clean water and healthcare, right? The same ceasefire where Israel has been reported not allowing vaccinators to enter right?

There are a string of other events that happened because of successful diplomacy.

And there's a longer string of events of unsuccesful diplomacy on the Israeli side. I'll also remind you that this list doesn't start from October by the way.

Israel’s message to Hamas since the beginning of the war has more or less been: surrender or die.

Israel's message to the Palestinian people is to simply die. Let's not confuse what's actually happening here.

Netanyahu never does anything in good faith. He is all about his personal advantage.

Oh, so you agree he's untrustworthy?

You'll be pleased to know that despite your attempt I got someone with that joke :)

What? No, it's because they're still alive silly :).

I actually remember learning that no one living in that area could be buried in the cemetery. Fun fact!

 

I noticed it's considerably worse when I run outside on the street/sidewalk as opposed to on a treadmill. I usually run first thing in the morning so I've taken a few minutes to stretch my legs thinking that may be the cause but it hasn't really helped. The only other thing I can think of is that I have flat feet.

Anyone else deal with this and have an idea on how to overcome it?
