  • On the contrary. A post with (currently) 45 upvotes states exactly “Thinking of putting up Palestine stuff in my windows just to dare them to come get me.”

    This is exactly what I mean. Putting up Palestine stuff is just fine, perfectly legal, and you cannot be arrested for it.

    If she really wants to be daring she should put up Palestine Action stuff in her windows.

    PA probably aren’t terrorists, just protesters who took it a bit too far, but the facts are: they broke into an airbase and damaged RAF jets by pouring paint into their engines. This will take those jets out of commission until the damage has been assessed; maybe the paint will just wash or burn off, but maybe they’ll need to be replaced, which is a cost that could run into millions because jet engines aren’t exactly cheap. So a case could be made that they are also terrorists, but it’s a bit of a stretch.

    “rooting out opposition to the genocide” No, we’re not doing that. There’s plenty of opposition and it’s fine; we live in a democracy and people are free to support whoever they want to support (in this case: as long as it’s the Palestinians in general, not Hamas).

    Fair enough. It’s probably just what you’re used to then. I remember being over in the Caribbean a few years ago, someone got out of the sea and went “it’s cold”. Cold I said? You come to England I’ll show you cold.

    Cue the northern Canadians scoffing at my definition of cold.

    It’s not often over 25° here so we’re not used to it. Plus our houses are designed to keep the heat in and the cold wet out.



  • My hypothesis is that they hide. So I saturate all the hiding places so they have nowhere left to hide.

    When I buy something known for liking to hide, I buy N of them and place them all in a designated “I’ve got N of these things” place (P). Then I put 1 in its home. When it hides, I get its replacement. When that hides, same again. When there are none left in P, I buy N more. Eventually they have nowhere left to hide and finding one is easy. Consequently, they stop hiding.
