I wouldn’t because it is going to get misinterpreted by others. Trump supporters would argue that you’re defending the existing Iranian government.

Someone else suggested an upsidedown American flag, which feels appropriate.

An interesting thing about CAD is that the field got decimated in the switch to computers. You can choose to either go up the technical chain to be a great detailer or progress in CAD management since Autodesk and Bentley only do so much

Until Reddit sends your account information to your neighbors, it is functionally anonymous to a lot of people, which is what I was getting at in the comparison to Facebook.

It does; it’s called Facebook.

The issue with Reddit over Facebook and smaller forums is that Reddit allows for anonymity while still providing access to a variety of various communities at mostly the discretion of the user. This is very hard to moderate, so Reddit found out a way to get free labor from users. Even then, Reddit has had issues with communities giving it negative press that has caused intervention several times.

And, I don’t think people here appreciate this, but the is over a decade’s worth of work in spam prevention and other tools developed to keep Reddit from being worse. Hell, the fight about API access was because mods were losing some of the tools they had.

So why isn’t anyone trying to copy Reddit like Twitter? No one wants to be responsible for the mess in moderation.

There is a weird part of the human brain where there is a slight reset when entering a new room, probably to survey the new place for something that will kill you. It is the reason why people forget what they are doing when they go into another room.

In public, it is really annoying as there are people behind that person during their reset.

Part of it not said in any of the other answers is that schools are managed at a very local level and get a significant amount of their funding through local taxes. So, you get a lot of towns that don’t have the local tax base to raise revenue or you have a local tax base where the wealthy few would rather pay for private school than the taxes to pay for a better public school.

The problem with organized labor in this case is that the organized labor is generally fighting the government and a lot of states don’t want an effective union network getting built or spreading.

I don’t know if just stopping the attack is going to work this time. Iran was significantly attacked and will want some form of retribution in order to remind the USA to never do this again.

The USA and Israel will need to pay costs for peace.

As for “what will happen next”, the USA seems to want a cease fire and Iran is tired of getting bombed randomly, so Iran is going to close the Strait of Hormuz until it can get a better deal that means something. Israel and the USA don’t seem to want to make that kind of deal.

So Iran is going to start a recession by restricting oil supply for the rest of the world to get the rest of the world to intervene or to get that agreement from the USA and Israel.

This will likely last until November, when the midterm election is supposed to happen. Trump wasn’t popular already. A recession caused by military action is going to get a lot of people pissed. That recession will likely pop the AI bubble, both due to a loss of market liquidity and increased energy prices fueling AI.

OP wants to post videos, not watch them. Nebula is invite only and generally only invites those with a decent body of work.

I don’t see why not. Israel attacked oil infrastructure, showing this was as much an economic war as anything else.

he says “Why can’t you just stay here?” or “Why can’t you visit this country first?”

Just straight up ask him why. He may not have an answer he wants to vocalize, but it puts him in a position where he may have to try internally.

A lot of fear of immigrants comes from the fear of the unknown, which likely corresponds with his fear of you traveling to foreign countries.

Some juices aren’t sweet enough on their own, cranberries being a major example. For those juices, some sweetener is added.

If the consumer doesn’t care, it is high fructose corn syrup because it is cheap. If consumers do care, they will claim it is 100% juice and use apple juice as the sweetener since apple juice is relatively cheap and neutral tasting.

Technically, the US has the stomach for the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars.

The problem right now is that the current policy goals for the war don’t match the current use of force occurring. I don’t see Iran capitulating without an invasion and Trump is likely going to need some sort of Congressional authorization or funding to continue the war.

Why aren’t the old Apollo designs being reused for a moon landing? (by either the Americans or the Chinese)

If you want to address this question, show him some videos about Boeing and Airbus and how they can’t bring back airplane models they stopped production on because of massive supply chain issues. See if your friend is willing to accept that they can’t bring back the 747, for instance.

If this is a problem for aircraft, it is likely also a problem for spacecraft.

But it isn’t uniquely American.

Regarding those from “The Old World” this phenomenon isn’t unique to the USA. Most other countries in the Americas, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa exhibit tying ancestry to not being of the land since time immemorial. It just happens to be that Americans tend to produce the most cultural discussion about it in volume, especially in the English language.

The big thing is recognizing that the culture of the land doesn’t match the culture of your “people”. It can be tough to reconcile that, especially if someone is from a mix of different origins.

I’m such a mix that really can’t claim a single European heritage. My family has mixed old traditions together and tossed out others for others which conformed more to where my family was.

I don’t see the need to be X enough for something.

In party primaries, which are used to some states, the election of the party’s candidate in some states is a public election where anyone can vote, even people from other parties. Dove states require you to auto register for that party, but not all of them.

So your party’s candidate gets chosen by everyone, not just members of your party.

Decades of conflict have seen millions leave the countryside for the cities, fleeing wave after wave of violence at the hands of guerrilla groups, paramilitaries, drug cartels and the state. And even where fewer people were displaced by conflict, youths have continued to drift to the cities, driven by a wage gap that has traditionally seen rural workers earn less than their urban counterparts.

Found it. Lower pay and quality of life than living in cities.

Different states have different rules on who can run in a primary, with some states being very lax and letting anyone who can run no matter party affiliation. Also, in some states, people can vote in any party regardless of party affiliation.

This was done as several states recognized that the two party system didn’t always produce the best candidate. Instead of creating systems allowing for more parties, these states created systems that weakened the power of that state’s or the counties’ political parties.
