It’s basically a requirement in the US to file a lawsuit to get anything done with regards to businesses doing shady/illegal shit. There’s just too much bullshit for the agencies responsible to go after every single offender. And corporations know it.
I fucking hate this rhetoric.
Voting for a third party is not “taking a vote away” from anyone.
You’re arguing with someone who would in all likelihood JUST NOT VOTE if not for an alternative option. If you want assurances that fascism doesn’t get voted in, how about you direct that passion towards getting people to vote for someone, anyone, instead of staying at home? That is the only certain way of getting not-the-GOP-candidate elected time and time again. Republicans always come out to vote in about the same numbers every election. Just get more people voting, and not only do the Dem numbers go up, but the viability of a third party goes up astronomically as well.
Just VOTE. For anyone!
If only the situation were even that “good” for Palestine. It’s been an occupied territory by Isreal for years - long before last Oct. There already are “border fences” - Gaza has been under blockade by Isreal for at least 2 decades, restricting any movement of Palestinians. I recommend having a look at a map to see just how dire the situation is for Palestine when they have Isreal right in the middle and all around simultaneously.
Palestine isn’t even recognized as a country by several, including - conveniently - Isreal and the US.
So, neither of those proposed alternatives would really be a good argument to Israel I’m afraid.
Source for those numbers?
I picked up a love of curry sauce or garlic sauce on my fries during my time living in London.
Those folks do fast food right - cheap, easy to find, and greasy.
Well, for one, the 18 deaths I imagine are only the ones they know about. Like most info that puts them in a bad light, I don’t think the IDF would be very forthcoming with the actual numbers.
Might have misunderstood the wording - unless you do a lot of sleeping during working hours?
I’ve gotta rep one of my all time favorite party games to this day (ported to PC) Worms Armageddon. They’ve had several sequels, but I believe that was the last one to use that particular physics engine, and every game since has just felt a bit… Hollow?
Also +1 to Paper Mario - S-Tier RPG, best of the whole series IMHO, tho the GameCube sequel TTYD is deserving of a very close second. I wish so bad they’d make a return to badges and acquiring new buddies and buddy upgrades throughout the game. The oragami king battle mechanics did not do it for me, and with it being the core mechanic of the game just soured my whole experience despite the rest of the game being pretty solid.
Spot on with Perfect Dark. It’s one fault imo is that it was trying to do almost too much for the 64. Even as an expansion pak game, the graphics that the 64 was capable of could just not render the necessary detail for a lot of stuff to be easy to see/recognize.
We’ve been using famcal for this for years and it works pretty well. There’s probably better, more robust options out there, but it’s free and does everything we need it to so no complaints
Yeah, I hate this rhetoric in general of “this is how it has to be done, we never deviate from the way we’ve always done it”.
Cause the status quo has just been great, hasn’t it everyone? What “worked” in all previous instances of less than 50 presidencies over the span of almost 250 years will surely continue to work in every context of the modern and future eras. Surely.
I heard he pees his pants because he likes the warm feeling on his legs.
Imagine unironically using the words “good thing” to describe a number of civilian casualties above 0, let alone above half of total casualties.
That’s wild man.
Civilian casualties of war aren’t just a statistic. Those are real people that just wanted to live happy lives. Less than 1% of any number over 100 is a number I’m not happy about, and anyone with a heart should be furious about the number of civilians dying in Gaza. Especially when those numbers are such a high percentage. If you can’t fight a war without that kind of casualty count, then you either don’t fight the war or you accept that what you are doing is a genocide, not a war. IDF has very clearly made their choice on this.
How much of that is because there just aren’t as many left for them to kill? If they started out at non-combatant numbers above SIXTY PERCENT that means they were killing more women and children than anyone else…
Eventually that pesky problem of killing non-combatants just fixes itself when there’s none left to kill, doesn’t it?
Over/under on how many days til they start bombing Al-Mawasi?
ETA: again. Start bombing Al-Mawasi again.
Never take time for granted - expect you’ll have less of it than you want or need.
It can really help with getting priorities straight - whether that’s with work or with your personal life. Where is it exactly you want to spend the most valuable and limited resource you have? Your time?
Plenty of adult jokes and themes that toe the line, but subtle enough to go over the head of any kid that doesn’t already get it.
I wish I had record of it.
They had reached out to me after years of no contact to catch up and we chatted back and forth for a day just telling each other what was new in our lives and how good it was to talk after so lomg. Then immediately after, they cut me off completely for the last few years of their life. I’ll never know exactly why, but I suspect they just didn’t want to burden me and others with all the things they were struggling with (a string of bad luck so uniquely terrible anyone that knew them would know who I was talking about if I said everything I knew about here).
A couple months before they passed, they completely dropped off the face of the earth and their Facebook was hacked. When whoever now owned the account got tipped off that I knew they were a scammer, they blocked me and I lost all of our message history.
I have never hated a complete stranger more than whoever this person is.
