Cheap living in blue states exists, ask me how I know.

All top 12 hour. Subscriptions? Never heard of her.

We better adapt soon becuse the village is dead and it isn’t coming back.

I feel like I can still navigate through it because I did the previous levels but the difficulty is definitely higher.

We’re now on level 35 and n00bs are still coming online. A kid or grandma have no shot at defeating the boss AI video or deepfake on this level, hell I don’t even have a great win rate on them.

And you get crucified by them if you bring it up.

I understand battling the pull of phones and tablets with kids is hard but you’re lying to your self if you think it’s going to work out ok if you give in, every other kid has one how bad could it go really?

We all know this yet the ones with kids who need to do something about it don’t, as a result kids are getting dumber by the year.

TV had a limited capacity to mess kids up and it largely didn’t. Youtube and the internet on then other hand are in the vast majority of kids pockets with 0 restrictions.

Reading the first hand reports of what this looks like from /r/teachers will black pill you on the future quicker than any post on climate change or war.

How can this be a legally enforceable contract?!

I’d like to think it can’t be but it’s the US so who knows.

Changing the terms after buying the device and in a way that your kid could accept them by hitting ok on the remote is bonkers.

Like, why dont people who can just move?

Kind of a catch-22.

America is the best country in the world, if you’re rich. Once someones earning a lot and saved up move to New Zealand money the appeal isn’t as strong for most.

immediately go for northern europe

Oof. That’s akin to moving there in 1938. Bit of a risky proposition to say the least.

I wouldn’t move there now if allowed and I don’t even have illegally move to Mexico money.

Reading the title I was like man the Onion is getting a little edgy until I read the source. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Yeah you hear about bookies going out of business from bad lines all the time. /s

The house always wins. Haley is 20 to 1 just to win the nomination.

And polls are off but rarely outside the margin of error.

Trump is beating Biden in the polls and bookies have him as the favroite to win.

Unless some states that matter kick him off the ballot the US is headed for 2nd Trump presidency.

I remember when I did the switch in 2008 and never looked back.

I wasn’t far behind you. My first laptop around that time came with Vista installed. Didn’t take long for me to switch Ubuntu after that, haven’t been back to Windows since.

I’m just impressed you’ve maintained this quaint notion of how the world works at your age. You seem to have an honest belief in international law and humanity.

I have a belief system based in reality. One where winners dictate terms. No one from a nation with nukes will face the same fate as someone from an African or Balkan country.

I even drink beer and smoke shisha with one, even though it’s haram.

Funny how much better life starts to get the further one strays from religion. It’s almost like it’s holding us all back or something /s

Now, I could be wrong but you strike me as the sort who doesn’t put much weight behind international law.

I’m old enough to remember what happended in Rwanda. International laws may as well be printed on the back of a CVS receipt. It’s equally worthless.

Pretending “international law” or anything the UN says is worth mentioning is laughable at this point.

And I do agree the slow West Bank takeover over by Israel settlers is wrong. It needs to stop. However claims about Israel being on colonized land is bullshit rhetoric that doesn’t deserve respect.

your country’s history.

My point is it’s every countries history. No one exists on land orignally belonging to their tribe. Most land has been ‘stolen’ many times over.

At the end of the day my positions are this. Israel has a right to exist. Palestine never existed. Arabs lost every war ever fought. Losers don’t get to dictate terms.

Arabs refused every deal presented no matter how favorable throughout the decades. They want it all. They want to be free from the river to the sea AKA they want every Jew dead. They are always the one to initate attacks.

After Oct 7th Israel had the right to declare war and do the needful so to speak. Hamas will be eradicated. Gaza will suffer much more than they are now and theres not a hashtag in the world that will change whats coming. No international law will be enforced, no UN intervention.

Religion is a cancer on the world and the middle east is exhibit A as to why it belongs in the past. Forced to choose I’ll back Judism over Islam every time. Islam kills non believers like me and spawns death cults across the globe. It’s an abhorrent and barbaric religion that is incompatible with the modern world.

How many have they displaced?

Most respected the warning and moved to safer areas hence the lower civilian death toll. Would you rather they stay and die? Displacement isn’t always a bad thing.

How many hospitals have they destroyed?

You mean Hamas bases? As many as they need to.

Also, the fact that they’ve done 22,000 strikes sure doesn’t sound like a proportionate response.

The goal is to eliminate Hamas. Proportinality isn’t a thing here. This will take months and Israel will sweep up and down the entire Gaza strip as needed.

Having nukes that your enemies know you can’t use isn’t much of a deterrent.

I wouldn’t be so sure. Israel doesn’t acknowledge their nukes and plays by it’s own rules. A first strike option is on the table.

They’ve shown the world exactly how much Israel cares about Palestinians. The BDS movement will just get stronger and stronger the longer this goes on, to say nothing of the ‘less civil’ anti-Israel sentiment.

You sure about that? People are tiring of the protests now and turning on the protestors blocking traffic and invading areas of normal life.

colonies

Oh come the fuck on. Colony my ass, the Jews have been there for thousands of years. They have more claim to the area than you or I do from wherever we’re posting from. We are all colonizers compared to Israel.

My roots only go back on 150 years and I’m in fucking Wisconsin. If the Objibwa tribe mounted an attack on my people now they’d be eradicated and no one would balk. The moment passed for atacks, we are here now and not going anywhere.

It’s time Palestine accept that as well because if they can’t they’ll be living in refugee camps permanently.

Is the genocide in the room with you right now?

Come up with whatever hashtag you want nothings going to change.

But they aren’t

Pointless. I seen the Oct 7th videos I have no doubt they would if they could. Intent matters.

Israel is the one actually doing the genocide.

That word is quickly becoming meaningless. Israel has the means to kill everyone in Gaza. 79 days since Oct 7th and they’ve conducted more than 22,000 strikes and only managed to kill 20k out of 2 million people. Use your brain and play out why that is.

It’s almost like they’re trying not to kill civilans. Crazy.

And who is Israel going to nuke?

That’s the beauty, no one will be nuked. Israel just having them is enough to make sure no nation(s) move on them.

There will be no intervention no matter what happens in the UN or any other country. When you have nukes you can do whatever the hell you want to do. Look at China with the Uyghurs, it’s carte blanche.

So sure. Hate Israel all you want. It’s mostly misguided hate and has very little basis in reality but the good thing is no matter what you do it won’t stop Israel from doing what it needs to do.

Say the second part, “Palestine will be free.” But you don’t want to

You’re right I don’t want to ignore the call for genocide. The people in Gaza don’t want to share shit, they want it all and if they had the same means Israel has Jews would be wiped out by now.

Every day I grow more thankful Israel has 400 nukes. It becomes clearer everyday that they need them. Palestine will never be from the river to the sea.

Munye, who has worked at the college for seven years, told CBC the school did not specify to him which post needed removing. The last post on his account related to the war, made before he was put on paid leave, uses the phrase “From the river to the sea”

I mean I’d be worried for my job if I was calling for genocide. It’s just common sense. Chanting genocidal slogans like “from the river to the see” is one of the dumbest moves you can make.

I traded on Binance back when they let anyone on. It was wild you could just deposit your crypto and go nuts. No docs needed and limits were very high before any type of verification kicked in so I’m not surprised it was abused.
