            When did I advocate for them? I’m just pointing that out because it’s not that accurate from my actual experience, there are plenty of much more valid reasons that you can point out to show that they are not native to the land, like the fact that they have to commit a genocide so they can settle in it for example

              We all know other people have allergies.

    Did the Palestinian escape, or was it a suicide mission? Obviously desperation will lead to self-sacrifice, but guerrilla warfare is more effective if the perpetrators aren’t caught.

    Motherfucker wasn’t even wearing the yarmulke for religious reasons.

    He was wearing it to prevent his sensitive European redhead bald spot from burning in a climate he’s neither native to nor suited for.

        You do?

        Because I’m a Scandinavian living in Scandinavia, so I think I’m good lol

        I was referring to the Hasbara trope of Israelis pretending to be indigenous when in reality many if not most of them are Ashkenazis from Europe

            Nope. I ordered one, but it took a whole month for them to deliver a defective one and now I’m waiting for them to send a replacement

              Look into root cellars and ice rooms. We’ve had the engineering technology to stay cool for thousands of years. A/C just made our parents forget.

                Both are kinda hard to get working in a small two bedroom apartment on the third floor 😄

                I’m getting a portable AC unit and moving it between the bedroom and the living room.

                If one that works ever arrives, that is 😮‍💨

                  Yeah, I do not miss rentals.

                  We fitted that reflective window film all around our place. It’s dead cheap and passively cools the place by blocking UV and some other light. The ones that stick from “static cling” should peel off cleanly if you’re worried about your landlord complaining? It made our place from uninhabitable to tolerable in an evening.

                  Also for anyone that’s looking, if you’re going for a portable air con, always go for one with two hoses! You can modify some to make them way cooler too.
