@History__Speaks @TheOmniLiberal Would you be willing to put together all your feedback into his notes so we can compare and contrast, I am sure you have other things to mention on most his notes

Your data (HDI, life expectancy) are cherry picked to give a misleadingly positive view of the horrific economic situation in pre-war Gaza; and your claim that Gaza's economic situation is normal for the region is utterly false. In fact, only war-ravaged countries in the region like Syria and Yemen fared worse than pre-war Gaza economically.
In 2022, the World Bank estimated Gaza's nominal GDP per capita at $1,257. That's one of the poorest countries in the world, and 27% as high as that of West Bank ffs. The pre-war unemployment rate was estimated at slightly under 50%, which is HIGHER THAN ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD! Economically, pre-war Gaza was absolutely decimated by the Israeli blockade.
As I said, you (following @coldxman) point to infant mortality and life expectancy rates, where Gaza is average and above average respectively. But these figures are inflated in Gaza, beyond what could be reasonably expected from general economic conditions. They are inflated by a regionally-unprecedented aid effort, including an influx of Western physicians, medical equipment, and high-tech hospitals. Also relevant in this regard are very strong family values among Arabs, who take care of their children and elderly.
However, if you step away from health conditions and look at general conditions of economic prosperity and opportunity, Gaza is among the worst places to be on planet earth. The cause of this is the blockade, as the GDP per capita disparities between Gaza and WB show.
Tl;dr: You are an apologist for the devastation wrecked upon the people of Gaza by Israel's blockade, and are cherry picking health-related metrics to tell a highly misleading story of Gaza as a 'middling developing country.'
(Note: I copy and pasted this in large part from a tweet I did on Coleman Hughes, who made a similar argument.)

99% of my prep was wasted for the Rabbani/Finkledick debate, but I published the broad outline I was planning on using for those interested:
publish.obsidian.md/destiny/Debate…
This is probably like 80% fleshed out, there aren't many sources on this particular page since it was supposed to be an outline for stuff I'm already familiar with, so everything might not necessarily make sense without additional context.
good luck have fun

@TheOmniLiberal Amazon also can't stop giving services to kick "if they wanted" there would need to be an explicitly reason and it can't be because you are my competitor, it would kill the AWS if it got out that it was suppressing competitors on their platform

To be clear, Twitch isn't making money off of Kick, Amazon is.

@IamSean90 Why do people keep posting Hunter's cock whenever they talk about the Hunter Biden Labtop, even if you were right but you got some people doing some wild stuff around you

this reminds me a year or so ago when transwomen were running around Twitter saying they were having periods, sigh
Truth@ElonObserves
@TheOmniLiberal All these ‘person with a uterus’ nonsense will badly effect the discourse and in turn harmful for actual trans or gender issues. If this snowballs, it will be too late.

@tafphorisms You could locally vote republican because there might be actual ideal you prefer in your community but on the national stage if ur view isn't towing the Trump line or a step behind it then you prob don't have good options

@RedPillPusher_ @joncoopertweets Trump's slashing of insulin cost seems to only be for the 2021 year, cms.gov/newsroom/press…
While Biden's cost slash, which is separate but the same, is apart of the Inflation Reduction Act innovation.cms.gov/innovation-mod…
please find something that tells a different story to check

@Crow_Forecast @Paraglobalism I don't simp for online creators, and I actively try not to. I just tried to follow the logic you laid out.
You aren't the only one I had had a discussion with about Destiny who has said something similar.
English

@Crow_Forecast @Paraglobalism Cool, I don't have things like this on hand, sorry for seeming evasive.
English

@Crow_Forecast @Paraglobalism Sorry. I didn't mean to come off as evasive. What I was mainly talking about is just how I determine where he stands in people's minds.
I think he has said some left field stuff, i just don't have another example than the clip of calling death on someone over a joke
English

@Crow_Forecast @Paraglobalism I never said that, I am sure I can. I am saying that no everyone and I wouldn't even say the majority of people see Destiny in the same way. All I have to go on is number on things like tweets and the type of interactions he gets.
English

@Crow_Forecast @Paraglobalism I disagree, not everyone thinks Destiny is the spawn of the devil.
You are attacking the evidence but I don't think you have canceled out the evidence, just are trying to argue another way to read it.
Also, sorry for not respond to all your reply I am not as fast as you.
English

@Crow_Forecast @Paraglobalism Like I am saying, you are reading into this alot more than I am.
And it is clear you are put forth your own opinions in the matter.
English

@Crow_Forecast @Paraglobalism Evidence that she isn't consistent has been given. You are trying to give a plausible reason as to how it could be. Idk if we can say no evidence has been given to say she isn't inconsistent
