If you are a MasterCard customer, like me, and have any concerns you’d like to bring up with the company they have a very convenient PDF with toll-free numbers for all countries available here:

I was very lucky to be able to find the link, because their customer support number wasn’t advertised anywhere on their website for my country!
Thank you for taking the time to explain your position. I hadn’t seen their latest report until now.
Most of the above figures have been similar (and I think rather understandable if unfortunate) since oct. 7, but the increased support for forced expulsion & Katz plan is worrying.
Realistically it seems that there won’t be a negotiated end to the war between Israel & Hamas, I instead expect an enforced peace where Hamas never surrenders and Gaza instead is put under complete Israeli military occupation until (long term) a semi-autonomous civilian regime is set up similar to the W.B.
Of note, I have previously and still do find this one:
Oppose peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.
to be a bit of an odd pre-oct. 7 relic. It doesn’t really apply to the current war in Gaza since the PA isn’t a participant. At the very least they should run a separate, similar question regarding Hamas to get a fair assessment of support for a negotiated end to the current war.
Tel Aviv University Peace Index
Yes I’ve read several of their reports a whule bacj. Most Israelis (particularly Jewish ones but also many Arab Israelis) and Gazans are very pessimistic about the prospects for peace, tied to not believing the other side to be trustworthy, particularly since Oct. 7.
believe the most heinous shit
You’ll have to elaborate on that, because you’re (A) generalizing to a very large group with very diverse views & opinions and (B) rather vague.
That’s surprising
Why do you think that?
Swedish citizen - not Swedish. It’s frankly appalling that integration has been handled so poorly that there are people who’ve grown up in the country since childhood, yet haven’t even the most basic values of Swedish culture. A failure on so many levels.
Meanwhile google slapped me with nine captchas to fill out a form like wtf?
I’m rather surprised that ingredient entropy did not account for continuity of the ingredients. Having too high continuity would end up in “not salads” (hamburgers, pizza, sandwich) whilst too low would put you into puré, sauce and definitely soup/beverage territory. Whilst there is a subset of soups/beverages/salads that have a similar degree of soupiness, outside of that subset you’ll find degrees of soupiness that are undisputably not soup and undisputably not salad.
hadn’t heard of that one, sounds like a fun comedy series
Yes, it can be a way of exploring various social situations without pressure whilst also having fun.
There aren’t any particularly good forums for it on Lemmy unfortunately but if you like I can send a discord invite to a community for finding people to rp with on DM.
Short answer: No
Long answer: Nooooo
If irl feels difficult one thing you might try is actually online roleplaying with real people (via text or voice). All the time in the world to overthink and process anxiety and allows building a bit of confidence before trying the real deal.
The 5 yrs I was on apps I’ve had maybe 3 or 4 dates (no second dates) from maybe 3x as many matches. Meeting people irl during the same time maybe 9 dates with some resulting in follow ups, and maybe 2 dates from people I met online from other spaces.
should have the ability to restrict hate speech and threats of violence
Who decides what is considered hate speech and threats of violence?
The rest of your comment indicates you’re aware of the vagueness of these terms (and existing instances of regulatory abuse).
that equipment was being used to further a genocide against the Palestinian people.

Finding out part of fucking around.
Countries don’t usually take kindly to people or organizations that break into military bases and vandalize equipment.
What I did was mass edit all my comments. According to reddit customer support (about a year ago at the time), they do not retain old versions of edited comments.
