Actually they can’t, they have a legal obligation under the UN Convention on Genocide to take extra-territorial actions in order to stop or prevent genocide. They are acting within international law. The ships going to Israel despite the active genocide are violating international law and complicit in the genocide themselves.

If the media didn’t want him to win, they shouldn’t have called the race before even 10% of the state got a chance to vote. There’s going to be hundreds, possibly thousands of people who left caucuses early when they heard the race was called. The media is not only complicit in his win there, they have also exposed themselves to retaliation from campaigns and voters alike.

My gf caught this, it’s pretty bad. After a week and a half of not getting any better, she finally had to go to the clinic and stay for a few days on IV meds and now she’s finally recovering. She had white spots on her lungs when they scanned them, it scared the crap out of me.

Anti-perspirant makes the rest of my body sweat a lot more as suddenly I can’t just use my pits to cool my body.

The point is, the US has no assets on the ground, and cannot confirm or deny any intelligence from the region with any meaningful measure of certainty. They’re entirely going off of the statements of the IDF and Israeli government. Organizations which, have been shown to multiple times just in this conflict, spread false information as justification for their actions. Conversely, we do have plenty of journalists on the ground, who often contradict these intelligence briefings, and who often provide primary source documents or visual evidence of their claims.

All it took was the assassination of the head of state.

No, i feel you, but once you have data, you no longer have to even entertain those people in debate. You just act based on the data.

Let’s be frank, the book was pro-fascism, and Heinlein was at the time himself pro-fascism. It’s still a good book, but calling it meditations on fascism sells it short.

It’s really a great book, but if I were going to recommend Graeber to someone for the first time, I’d probably recommend Debt: The First Five Thousand Years. I think if you’re specifically after what Bullshit Jobs is offering, you’ll enjoy it well enough though. lol I just saw this was two years old.

No, that is not the definition of capitalism. Where did you even hear that? So, in your vision of capitalism, the board of directors gets no money ever, because they produce nothing. The capital they have is produced by laborers.

You can work around that, there’s plenty of designs that allow for slight thermal expansion while not using adhesive to hold down the battery. Take for example, old MacBook Air batteries, that had the cells with room for expansion but framed in hard plastic that screwed into the housing, allowing for quick and easily swapping the batteries.

This keeps getting repeated and it gets further from the truth every time. Apple was throttling phones whose batteries were so bad the phone would shut off when trying to draw peak power. They should have had a message saying, “Replace your Fuckin battery dude”, rather than just throttling the phones, and that’s exactly what the lawsuit made them do. It’s not the case that apple went, “oh this phone is old, slow it down.” At all.
