I quite frankly flat out do not understand why people on the left are so against space exploration suddenly

Ever heard the song "whitey on the moon?"

Setting that aside, exploring space is not the same thing as building a company town for the world's least mentally stable pregnancy fetishist oligarch in an unworldly cold desert where everyone is sure to die.

Problem is they're not protesting for an end to west bank settlements, or a meaningful negotiation with Palestine that creates a viable Palestinian state with right to return, or an end to the Gaza embargo, or even a curbing of settler violence, house demolition or the like.

All these things are not part of the discussion in Israel.

Mostly they're protesting against the utter and complete disregard Netenyahu has for the lives and well-being of the hostages.

supporting Israel being an easy and surface-level way to alleviate that guilt.

No doubt reinforced by enormous amounts of hasbara.

Almost as if they're overcompensating for something. 🤔

This is the result explicit, aggressive and longstanding propaganda by the State of Israel and its foreign agents like AIPAC.

They want there to be no conceptual space between the State of Israel, the Jewish religion, and the Jewish people around the world, so they can turn any criticism of Israel into antisemitism and therefore a hate crime.

Cmon man. Yes I've been a few places in sailboats. North sea in the winter for one. You clearly were trying to refer to Cape Horn and The Cape of Good Hope (or Cape Agulhas). Just take the L and don't be a twat.

I assume you mean "both capes." While this line does come within a few thousand miles of the Horn of Africa, that's not known as an especially hard sailing area but maybe for pirates.

Sailing this line in the other direction would be considerably harder.

Facebook Purity plugin for firefox is a must.

I remember sitting in a cafe in Copenhagen and overhearing a conversation at the table next to mine. I had no idea what they were talking about but "fucking" was the only word I recognized. It was about every third word they said.

They need to reform as a non-profit with user membership, an elected board, and fundraising like Wikipedia.

Mozilla and its murder/suicide pact with Google falling apart may be the best thing that could possibly happen to Firefox.

USA gotta export its worse ideas abroad, after all. For-profit churches, flat earth, antivaxx

More like someone in Europe realizing that they could import something from America and it'd catch on like an invasive plant species with no local ecological resistance.
