Also I guess losing the majority on SCOTUS and losing abortion rights was just a "hypothetical scenario" when people like you refused to vote for Hillary in 2016?

When will you people learn that, yes, elections have consequences.

Trying to pretend like they might not and Trump might somehow not be worse is being deliberately obtuse and sticking your head in the sand. Wake up and smell the reality.

Please tell me about your hypothetical future where you don't vote for Biden. Please explain to me what your best case scenario and outcome look like in that situation? Please tell me, what are you working towards?

Nope, they'd rather scream about "not voting for the lesser of two evils" full well knowing that if they don't that the likelihood of Trump becoming president and having MUCH worse policies for the Palestinians becomes much greater.

But hey, why care about the realities of a situation when you can scream about principles or something?

How does this work with local laws regarding 2 party recording? If you're on a video call and this records the other party without their permission, that is AFAIU illegal in many states in the US. I'm sure in parts of Europe as well.

Cable TV exists

Customers hate it and people start pirating

Netflix comes around, other streaming services

People happy, piracy goes down

Streaming services go back to the way cable was, increased prices, reduced content, started bundling shit you don't want.

Customers start pirating again

Surprised Pikachu face

On the flip side, if the genders were changed in this situation and the guy only wanted the woman because of superficial reasons like she was attractive or popular, how many people would be saying "he got what he deserves"

This is definitely one of those double standard situations. While we shouldn't be victim blaming, I think there's something to be said for calling out people who are willing to throw away an existing relationship or form a new relationship just because an "influencer" came up to them and they thought they were rich. And I think that's what the poster you are responding to was getting at.

Support for Palestine does not equal antisemitism. And it's incredibly problematic that that's what you've implied here.

Git = bittorrent

GitHub = the pirate bay

Code = content

Even that's not the perfect analogy but it's better than the OP.

Lol yeah, as a guy I am so happy I wasn't judged by the size of visible appendages on my chest. The occasional boner is whatever, tuck and go on with your day.

Also bleeding from your crotch and possibly showing blood stains? Let's not pretend like girls don't have it way worse. Cramps, worried about getting pregnant, etc. etc.

Despite those deniers that still blame housecats

Both things can be true. They aren't mutually exclusive.

Also we have less pollution and pesticide use than we did in the 60s and 70s. Why is it just becoming a problem now?

Read the article about this and the policy seems really really dumb. If parents miss the 8:30am deadline they have to wait until 10am. So they have to waste an hour and a half of their day because a school administrator can't be arsed to walk to the gate and take the child inside?

Like if parents are resorting to throwing their child over a 6ft tall fence maybe take a look at your policies that are making people resort to that?

Not to excuse the parents, cuz they're dumb too.

It was the fact that during the pandemic they forwent the rule that 1 copy they owned could only be rented out to 1 person at a time. Any library operates by that principal for exactly this reason. Even digital copies, they can only lend out so many at a time. During the pandemic archive.org ignored this rule which was noble of them considering the circumstances, but now those consequences are coming back to bite them.

Personally I think I was dumb to risk the whole Internet Archive to offer that and hopefully they use this as a lesson to consult more with their lawyers going forward.

The article says nothing about the sugars being refined and even references animals in hibernation which clearly don't consume refined sugars. Neither the article nor the full text from the journal even mentions the word "refined".
