Oh man, every Palestinian had an ID number? Man those could have just been tattooed on every person to make sure Israel could keep track of them better.
No idea why Israel didn't think of that. Seems obvious to use in your fenced in area that everyone has to be carefully released from for either work or because they died.
And IBM can supply the tech like the last time
Intel is investing billions in Israel at the same time getting bailouts from the us government.
I pray Intel implodes after the recent news that their CPUs have an oxidation issue.
Is it oxidation? I thought it was a voltage control issue, where they randomly sent too much power to components and burned them out. And over time, those burnt out components and errors would compound and your CPU would essentially get Alzheimer’s.
I can check later. I distinctly remember "oxidation" from a GamersNexus video but I could be remembering wrong.
both
Nah. Too many Intel fanboys. I know dozens of braindead gamers who insta buy Intel because (a decade ago) Intel had the best performance. I imagine they have thousands of equally braindead customers.
Intel was struggling beyond the oxidation stuff. ARM and RISC are gonna make them obsolete even if AMD doesn't.
You have some good points. Their Intel "7" node isn't even seven nanometers, their CPUs could probably heat households in Siberia, and their GPU drivers suck.
No, they could just use Amazon and Intel this time.
Wait, they already are...
To this day I don’t know why Sun didn’t run a campaign with the slogan “we didn’t help the Holocaust”. Who am I kidding, their clients are all descendants of nazis supporting the idea of an American ethnostate.
every American has an ID number too... I get the comparison you're making but I don't think birth certificates are inherently dystopian. there's plenty of actual shit to be mad about, such as 14 pages of dead babies, without having to complain about mundane shit
LOL yeah I know. They actually are helpful for any developed country but seeing a document of a list of 34,000 dead humans from newborns to "old" that Palestine is trying to prove were real (because the number dead is way higher) by using the identification numbers and knowing how Israel uses their labor force and tracks them made me feel the parallels to a historical use, a little heavily.
I kinda figured they should just go all the way with it.
People will read this and not even blink with a sense of irony, we are that far deep into replay of history.
Investing in genocide has historically turned out as good for business.
Holy shit.. Never thought of it like that.. But yes!! - just check out the comments referencing IBM!!! They’re still just fucking chugging along, line go up for IBM stockholders, as if it was no fucking big deal to make the very goddamn punchcards and tabulators that led so many Jews to their horrible, untimely ends in all those concentration camps. And now, I guess “business” is good again…
It's a shame that people who were historically tormented by disgusting people can turn out to be infinitely more reprehensible... I'm looking at you netanyahu you scumbag Nazi
Just because they share the same religion doesn't mean they're the same kind of people.
That bunch in Israel have even accused a Holocaust Survivor of being an anti-semite for criticizing Israel, and most modern Israelis did not came from Western Europe. Most of them they share no other characteristic with the victims of the Holocaust than religious affiliation, certainly not being against racism or having other modern humanist values.
Yes, it hasn't yet reached the threshold needed to tickle the sensibility of the humane and civilized beings we claim to be. It can go further a bit.
