I really don't want to Google this one. I finally stopped getting tired of California Dreaming

Do you live somewhere where growing is legal? How did you get started? I'm interested in self growing but idk where to start, and where I live it's not exactly allowed

The only reason anyone cares is because of post WW2 guilt and oil interests. There are other places on earth in nearly the exact same situation (two unsupportable regimes both claiming sovereignty over the same region and committing war crimes against each other) and no one cares about them, let alone even knowing what places I'm talking about, simply because there's no oil involved. The answer is fundamentally the same as when you're walking down the street and see two drunk guys hitting each other. You ignore them and keep walking. Some people just want to do bad things and there's not really anything you can do to stop them. By getting involved you inherently are forced to choose sides and now are supporting someone who doesn't deserve to be supported.

Tl;Dr of history of israel-palestine conflict:

Britain colonizes Palestine and makes it Israel

Israel recognizes this as kinda bullshit and willingly offers basically half the land to existing Palestinians and also offers full citizenship to any Palestinian who wishes to remain in what is now Israel.

Palestine refuses the deal, declares war on Israel

Israel kicks their ass, again offers a deal with less land

Palestine again says no, basically a cold war begins

Other Arab countries refuse to allow Palestinians to move there, also declare war on Israel and get their asses kicked

Terrorists begin attacking Israel from Palestine, especially from the West Bank

Those terrorists are elected to run Palestine in a free and fair election

Israel begins committing human rights violations against Palestinians

We've now been at this last stage for at least two decades, possibly longer but I can't be bothered to fact check myself on the exact dates right now. And yes, this is absolutely as short as the TL;DR on this situation can get, I'm 100000% sure both sides will get upset about details I left out even in this longer story.

That's basically agnosticism. And it's pretty common among intellectuals, historically speaking at least

Yes but I follow rules 1 & 2 so the fact that I don't know how to start conversations with people doesn't matter, I get so many matches that eventually someone will put up with my bs and I can get laid

Adding onto what OP said, housing prices have literally more than doubled in the past two years, and interest rates were at record lows during that time, especially in 2020

If you're bad at it sure. But if you're bad at it you wouldn't try it in the first place

This doesn't even seem like it'd be that hard to do. Might be a fun side project
