So, what has this story to do with my own comment?

Yeah, I’m. For multiple reasons;

• In Arabian culture, one doesn’t leave until marriage.
• I’m still in university (almost finished tho).
• Parents have health problems therefore, I’ll stay longer to take care for them.
• House prices are insanely high (both renting and purchasing).

I’m living in Europe though but my dad is from a Arabian country and well, culture stayed with him. Anyway, I’d help a lot at home. Household things, helping with groceries, medication and such.

That said, I don’t care what anyone says about still living at home and not on my own. There will be always a chance to get an apartment but people often forget; parents won’t be here forever. One day they’ll pass away. Never forget that.

Debating to either purchase Hi Fi Rush or Persona 5 Royal.

Already got Persona 5 Royal on PS5 but kind of want to replay it on PC and I’m not sure whether I’ll like Hi Fi Rush.

Very few people are downloading the big-name console games ported over to iPhone in the last year – and an even smaller number are paying $15-50 to unlock the full games.

I mean… What did they expect? Playing on either console or PC is most of the time, the go to. Plays much smoother, bigger screen and perhaps better FPS. 

Playing on a iPhone means smaller screen, bothersome controls (sure you can connect your controller to it but then just play on console/PC). Not to mention the article wrote about “to unlock the full games” which I assume means, you’ll have to pay for the game plus pay within the game for certain things(?). 

The game is only playable on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max and high-end iPads.

This might also have to do with it, not everyone immediately purchases the newest iPhone (and then purchasing a game that is much better to be played on console/ PC). 

There was more I wanted to quote from the article but have to hurry for work.

With everything that’s going on in the world, I feel like “freedom of speech” doesn’t exist. It’s just a “buzz”.

Just to name a few things;

• You want to criticize Israel? Antisemitism!
• You want to criticize US-related Israel things? Antisemitism!
• You want to provide evidence of crimes? That’s a ‘crime’!
• You are against killing innocent people? Antisemitism!
• You want to protest? You disrupt the order and therefore a crime!

Perhaps it is just me being pessimistic.

At the end of this week, I will be getting a new game PC. So, I will play:

1. The last of us part 1 remake
2. High On Life
3. Cyberpunk 2077
4. Alan Wake 2 (half replaying it, already played 4 hours on the PS5)

Israel did not start this bullshit no top finish the removal. Get real, that's what we are getting.

I don’t really understand what you’re saying/ writing honestly. If you mean that Israel didn’t start this entire thing, I’d say, I disagree. Due to the history of how Israel become an actual state (1948, 750 000 displaced, lots of Palestinian murdered and many other atrocities). Not to mention the ongoing apartheid system, illegal settlers and such. 

Real question is where are these people going or we just gonna let Israel massacre them at the Egyptian border?

That’s one of the main problems. If other countries let the Palestinian people in their country it’s a free-ticket for far-right extremist Israel to steal everything from the Palestinian land. Which is a no-no. 

But if nothing is done, Israel will just keep bombing Gaza which results in innocent Palestinians being murdered by Israel. 

So here we are; majority of the countries doing nothing, Palestinians being murdered and lots of protests around the world.

I hate to nitpick, but saying you’re ready to hammer out the details, does not mean you accept the deal

No, yeah. You are right however (The article below is from 6 May). Now I cannot remember whether it was accepted by both parties. But it shows that Hamas definitely are willing to accept deals whereas Israel is continuously deliberately trying to avoid any deals.

Israel Gaza: Hamas says it accepts ceasefire proposal

From the article:

Hamas says it has informed Qatari and Egyptian mediators that it has accepted their proposal for a new Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal with Israel.

Your comment below (done this to avoid confusion between your comment and the text from the article);

I don’t believe Israel would have accepted any ceasefire at all, at most they’re open to a “pause”.

I agree somewhat. I, personally, believe that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not want a ceasefire. However, I think that normal civilians of Israel do want a ceasefire (especially the families of the hostages).

EDIT: Added a few sentences and corrected some words

The Israeli official made further comments blaming Hamas for the impasses, echoing the language of Israeli and US officials that “the ball is Hamas’s court” and that stopping the war is in their hands.

Did Hamas not accept a deal before while Israel (I assume their PM) rejected it? Found the article: Hamas accepts UN ceasefire resolution, ready to negotiate over details, official says

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating clearly that Israel does not support a permanent ceasefire.

Israel blaming Hamas for not having a ceasefire or any deal and then this written in the article.

Israel’s demand appears to be for Hamas to release all the hostages right now in exchange for a temporary ceasefire

I mean any sane person would understand Hamas won’t accept this. This means they lose all negotiation ‘material’ (could not find a better word, apologies). The deal should be something along lines of; release of all hostages and a permanent ceasefire.

Hamas has said it will only support a deal that includes a permanent ceasefire

Exactly this. They are willing to accept a deal, it is Israel who does not want to accept anything.

Netanyahu never intended to stop the genocide/ war on Gaza, he made that clear:

1. Netanyahu tells Blinken he will not end war on Hamas in Gaza as part of hostage deal.
2. Netanyahu vows to invade Rafah ‘with or without a deal’ as cease-fire talks with Hamas continue.

Why would Hamas even accept the ''deal'' if Israel anyway will invade Rafah that has all the innocent Palestinian civillians?

They also shut down AlJezeera news and Israel claims they are the ''only democracy in the Middle East'': Israel orders Al Jazeera to shut down as Netanyahu rejects peace talks.

Call me pessimistic, but I do think:

• Privacy is an illusion.
• Control is an illusion (a reference to Mr. Robot).

Certainly, we can do a lot to have more privacy, but it is an illusion to think that we have complete control over it. Especially with social media, jobs, and today's technology.

I’m honestly surprised and shocked that Nazism is rising up again. It is a scary idea that, that ideology is growing bit by bit.

Have people not learnt about and from the past?
