  • I mentioned it that there are a bunch of methods but I just mentioned the two that helped me the most.

    Wanted to keep things simple.

    I didn’t like the alarm one. That in particular, seems like it would mess with my head more since it’s disrupting sleep.

    And I didn’t notice any difference when I used it.

    There were a bunch of methods I tried, but most ranged from impractical to irritating, I didn’t want it to disrupt my life too much.

    The dream journaling and reality testing was simple and resulted in fairly rapid awareness of my dreams.

    That does sound tough, not being able to distinguish dreams from reality.

    I had a really cool one where I was like ninja flipping around a mall sliding down jumping off escalator handrails fighting these zombie dogs.

    That was pretty rad.

  • Wow, what a miss you took.

    I hope that didn’t take you a long time.

    Then again, it’s much funnier if you did.

    Your argument against the Israeli colonization of Palestine is that the Palestinian settlements are even smaller than they appear to be on the map.

    Yes, that is the a problem. That is the point of the maps, to show how little land Palestinians have left.

    Your argument is that people only own the land of the country they’re standing directly upon. Amazing.

    You should go argue that to literally any country in the world where that is not correct.

    Go look up the term “national boundaries”

    However,

    Your incorrect understanding of borders is exactly what the Israeli government is arguing as the reason it’s okay for them to continue to illegally colonize Palestine and execute the civilians there.

    It’s also not true, but you don’t seem very concerned with the truth.

    As for pretending to read the article incorrectly so that you can argue against it, that’s just you arguing against yourself.

    Not super relevant.

    Your arguments:

    1. Irrelevant to the amount of land that Israel has illegally annexed from Palestine.

    2. You complain that colors are propaganda! Doubtful, since so many of these maps use different colors, and it is not relevant to the amount of land that Israel has illegally annexed from Palestine for the past 70 years

    3. Nope, the first map details the settlement area of the Palestinian people. Again, you can look at border maps for many countries, but steal yourself! You’ll be shocked that people are not standing on every square inch of their country. Your argument here also is not relevant to the amount of land that Israel has illegally annexed from Palestine for the past 70 years.

    4. Colors(you already did this) are not relevant to the amount of land that Israel has illegally annex from Palestine for the past 70 years.

    5. “It’s not stealing land because fewer countries recognized Palestine as a country then.”

    I mean…Taiwan…

    Actually I’ll explain this because it doesn’t seem like you understand much about national politics. Or geography. Or colonization.

    145 countries recognize Palestine as a country.

    A dozen (12, for you) countries recognize Taiwan as a country

    If Taiwan gets annexed by China, it’s still going to be a country being annexed(land being stolen) by China, even if not everybody is willing to recognize Taiwan as a country yet.

    Also, pretty irrelevant to the amount of land that Israel has illegally annexed from Palestine for the past 70 years.

    1. Is this “argument” also a basic misunderstanding by you of politics and geography? No! It’s a tacit statement of approval by you for Israel annexing a bunch of land.

    Greeeeat.

    All you’re doing here is arguing that Russia annexing Crimea and trying to annex Ukraine is cool because… Russia wants land that belongs to others.

    1. Your complaint here is that Palestinians didn’t lose as much land in some decades as they did in other decades, so none of the annexation counts!

    Not a great argument.

    Kind of missing the point of how Violet is to steal land from people after you kill the civilians on it.

    And 8. Your most bizarre criticism. There’s no source for this map?

    Like, how do you get such s basic thing incorrect? Do you even know how search engines work?

    Here’s a bunch of sources for that map, even with different colors for your weird color fetish.

    You’ll have to come up with all new reasons why these different colors scare you.

    https://visualizingpalestine.org/visual/http-visualizingpalestine-org-visuals-shrinking-palestine-static/

    https://www.palestineportal.org/learn-teach/israelpalestine-the-basics/maps/maps-loss-of-land/

    https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Figure-1-Showing-the-Loss-of-the-Palestinian-Land-and-the-Segregation-of-Palestinians_fig1_378482435

    Here’s one on your side, they used different colors and swear that the map is wrong;

    https://aijac.org.au/fresh-air/disappearing-palestine-the-maps-that-lie/

    Unfortunately, their “correct” maps begin and end in the exact same place and still highlight disappearing Palestinian territory, and they don’t even include the illegal settlements by Israeli civilians.

    My answer completely and credibly answers your question:

    Israel made that disingenuous 2005 statement because they knew they didn’t have to give any land back to Palestine, because they knew that Israeli civilian settlers would continue to annex Palestine, and because it would make people like you believe that they stopped colonizing Palestine, contrary to all of the evidence of continued Israeli settlement of Palestinian land in the ensuing years.

    Including right now.

    Where they are colonizing Palestine and putting up residential neighborhoods.

    That’s in the sources from my previous comment that you seem a bit wary to mention.

    Here’s the BBC reporting on the continued illegal Israeli settlement of Palestine.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68490034

    Here’s the times of Israel, proudly declaring their intent to illegally settle Palestinian land, sanctioned by the defense ministry.

    https://www.timesofisrael.com/government-panel-greenlights-nearly-3500-new-west-bank-homes/

    Here’s PBS, describing Israel planning to illegally annex and colonize Palestine:

    https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/israel-plans-to-build-3300-new-settlement-homes-in-occupied-west-bank-in-response-to-a-fatal-shooting

    Here’s Reuters describing The ongoing illegal annexation and settlement of Palestine by Israel:

    https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-advances-peak-number-west-bank-settlement-plans-2023-watchdog-2023-07-13/

    Go ahead, please try to explain how all of these sources, including Israel and their ministry of defense stating that they are going to annex Palestine, are just kidding about the illegal annexation of Palestine.

    Your argument that the colors are wrong has nothing to do with the number of times Israel has invaded, razed, annexed and colonized Palestine, nor with the amount of civilians it’s executed or with schools, hospitals it’s bombed.

    That was a pretty fun victory lap for me.

    Keep swinging though, I like dancing on laurels









  • I grew up with freezer bags of cooked rice from my parents.

    Seems a little crazy considering how easy and quick it is to cook rice.

    I wonder what the advantages are.

    The only one I know of is that if you want to cook fried rice, it’s way better if you have it in the fridge overnight because it dries out a little and then it soaks up all the flavors when you cook it the next day.
