You don’t have to. It isn’t required. I setup end points everyday with local users.

Roku, Playstation, Xbox, streaming device from ISP (like the device from comcast), Fire stick, and I’m sure there are many more. They all do what you’re looking for.

People require validation of a sort, and when they don’t get it, they can take many different paths. Some choose to take the vengeance route to reciprocate their feelings on others. Some just get depressed, and of course there are many other things individuals can do as a response to a lack of validation. Then there’s the facet of mental health problems which could, or could not be mitigated.

Let’s not strawman and say I’m excusing war crimes. Hamas and religious extremism are the enemies here. Innocents, non-combatants should always be left unmolested.

However, the fact that you call the Islamic agenda of exterminating the Jews “hostile rhetoric” is so naive. It’s basically ignoring what every Islamic state actually does and says. You’re dismissive of one of the most important facets of the entire conflict.

Kind of forgetting the rest of the Muslim world that wants Palestine obliterated and all jews murdered. It’s literally what they say out loud. It’s part of their strictly adhered to religious doctrine. Now tell me what a Muslim theocracy would do if Palestine was obliterated. Would they welcome the progressives and LGBTQ+ crowd with open arms? I honestly want to know your thoughts.

Using the trade skills I acquired to pay for a computer science degree, which has secured me the best job I’ve ever had. Going to college later in life was absolutely a game changer.

That’s a super safe assumption in this case, but this one is more of an anomaly. It’s a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

This isn’t entirely uncommon, but my 20 year old car is in perfect shape, fully paid off, and can do any job. I’m proud of that thing.

I mean, if you’ve purchased chocolate in the last century, you’re supporting slavery by your logic. Same for many other commodities, but most people know about diamonds. You could be protesting your entire life, justifiably, about many things. Most people in the world cannot consume without inadvertently causing harm and suffering somewhere in the world. It’s nice that you’re now thinking about it though.
