Seven consequences of the war on Gaza
2021-05-20
[AlAhram] Important consequences are already becoming clear of the Israeli war on Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

The war on Gaza rages on. Yet, already important consequences are clear — not only for the Israeli-Paleostinian struggle, but also for the strategic scene in the Middle East as a whole.

Seven consequences merit particular attention.

#18  Dron, I’m verbal, not visual — too many choices leave me overwhelmed, stressed, and unable to choose. Mr. Wife is visual, coupled with a minor in art that’s resulted in him having very strong opinions on all that stuff. We’re both infinitely happier when he gives me two or three pre-approved options to choose from, making it technically a joint decision.

Capsu78, I agree that gender stereotypes for this stuff do not work for everyone. After retiring, Mr. Wife took the lead on grocery shopping and laundry — I haven’t the energy to do what I used to before I got sick. Not to mention that he developed the laundry detergent, making him the family expert on how to use it.

#17  As part of my "accords" with my wife when I retired early is I handle most laundry, dishwasher, food shopping and cooking while she continues to work. I find myself not "wanting" her messing with my appliances, all of which I had the say in model selection! Works for us.

#16  I am not even permitted to load the dishwasher or operate the microwave :-(

#15  Mr. Wife wants my opinion on things...

Ha ha, TW! I bet MW would tell a different story given the proper environs and a bourbon in hand. ☺

#14  "You see how I fold laundry and load the dishwasher, do you really want me picking out what you wear?"

#13  Idiots, all of you. If you really don’t have a preference, the answer is along the likes of “ Darling, I can’t choose — you’d be beautiful in a potato sack,” or “Which one is easier to get you out of?”

Mr. Wife wants my opinion on things like front doors, paint colours, and wall paper. I remember the time he left it to me to choose which of forty possible shades of white to paint the basement playroom. You gentlemen have no horror to compete with that.

#12  "Which shoe looks better?"

Me, gazing at two seemingly identical items of footwear, "They both look nice."

"I'll never take you shopping again!"

Me, "That's the plan..."

#11  To me it's how she'd try every item in the store & buy none - and I've to comment on each.

#10  2000 dishes, and cups, spoons and forks. And then sweeping a mess the size of a mall. Or sweeping three floors as big as a small hotel lobby. And punishments along the way [it's never good enough]. Then fall in for drills. Every week for three years. I've helped cook for 6000 men once. What a drag.

But walking around the stupid market, looking at stuff you're not even buying? No, just no.

#9  ^Ever spend 8 hours washing plates (discotheque in IDF slang)? How about cleaning a 500 liter cooking pot (submarines cause you do it from the inside)?

#8  Oh come now. It's nowhere near as unpleasant as the shopping.

#7  ^Or clothes shopping with your wife.

#6  ^Neh: it's just a dirty & unpleasant, but necessary, job - like washing dishes.

#5  Yes, and we have to find some devil inside us to descend.

#4  ^That's that makes them so dangerous - they just do that comes natural.

#3  Tenacious plodding bastards all.

#2  ^For them, this is a glorious victory - and they got rid of some of their surplus population, too.

#1  Only a shameless islamic schweinhund can gloat on terrorist actions and factor even humiliating loss as some kind of achievement.
