Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Some people, communicating via satellite phones, have described the attack as the “heaviest bombardment yet,” according to independent journalist Sharif Kouddous.

“People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner,” said an unidentified journalist at a Gaza hospital, according to a translation by The Nation’s Palestinian correspondent, Mohammed El-Kurd. “The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on.”

There isn't single living thing on this planet that won't fight woth others of its kind. Cats fight cats, ants fight ants and so on and so forth. I am sire the aliens would be doing the same shit.

Or that just means we're not evolved enough yet

Or it just means there is always a scarcity of either need or want and it will never go away.

That's sorta true, but like cats and ants aren't exactly sentient lol. They don't commit war crimes and genocide because they can.

Also maybe a space faring species has no issues with war with how much... space there is lol.

Aw who am I kidding, its probably just like Elite Dangerous free for fall

Cats are not a good example. They torture their prey. And kill billions of birds every year.

Cats are sentient, they aren't sapient as far as we are aware.

I dunno where it comes from but lots of living things are sentient in fact most are, most aren't however sapient.

Cars are more sentient than most humans though.
