Agree. Unless you find the people who did it, you’ll never know what the motivations are.

That said, we have a lot of reporting that has shown smugglers have been looking for creative ways into gaza, and we have a lot of reporting that shows Israel’s blockade has turned hospitals into a hellscape without proper painkillers.

Meanwhile, people voting for Trump because they think they’re going to get $500 of cheddar during tax season.

They didn’t say that there were actually narcotics ground up. That claim was an unsubstantiated “possibility”

possibility that some of these narcotic substances were deliberately ground or dissolved in the flour itself

People are jumping to conclusions without evidence, and are ignoring the fact that this is one of the few paths in for smugglers, and there is a massive demand for painkillers.

Occam’s razor.

There is a tremendously strong need to get painkillers into Gaza. And smuggler’s drones have been getting shot down. Aid is one of the few channels in. I would expect that someone is going to try to leverage that.

There are also addicts that are trying to have stuff smuggled in. Prime example of this is something as simple as cigarettes. There are quite a few articles about Israel stopping and intercepting people smuggling in cigarettes.

But poisoning or getting random people hooked on opioids? It was loose pills, and a more expensive opiate. If this was a scheme to poison or hook people, it’s a complex and dumb one. If you know anything about opiates, you know there are far better and cheaper to hook or kill people if that’s your goal.

If your mom’s dying from cancer or if Netanyahu blew off your brother’s leg, and the hospital can’t get you medical grade opioid painkillers, are you just going to do nothing? Or are you going to try to work with a smuggler to help them out?

Israel has created a meat grinder and isn’t letting medicine in to hospitals. Desperate people are trying to do whatever they can.

I imagine that other news outlets don’t agree with the allegations of this being to poison people in Gaza. If someone was trying to poison the food, uncrushed oxy pills in flour is a pretty dumb and expensive way to do it.

People are sick and dying and are desperate for painkillers.

Also, smugglers have been trying to find ways around the blockades.

Medical supply / drug smuggling happens in every war. Addicts, and people who are dying and suffering from mangled limbs, want drugs.

Stumping happening

Hey now. The world really is rolling us.

Smart history teachers will leave this in. Dropping “big balls” in a lecture will 100% get the class’s attention.

I’d rather have a car that drives better than a typical cabby or uber driver.

Waymo has arguably been there for a while now. I’ll Uber outside of their coverage area, and take the autonomous car with in it. Every other Uber driver in my area is making late lane choices, tailgating, cutting people off, talking to me about how the world works, etc. The Waymos don’t do any of that shit.

Having experienced FSD, I can honestly say, Waymo’s LiDAR system is way better. It doesn’t do this terrifying shit.

My hot take is that, since US hasn’t done mandatory service in decades, a draft wouldn’t work. I think they’d honestly have a hard time getting a lot of the middle class and affluent right to support it.

The moist maker

it seems to be mocking Trump

You might be on to something

I don’t believe it. If you look at the image, it’s says it happened.

What a moist choice.
