Until there’s thc in your blood (can last for weeks without smoking) and they just hit you with a different sort of dui.

That’s not what totaling means. A totaled car that’s still on the road is called a salvage vehicle.

How did you get newpipe to work? It’s been broken for me for like the past 3 weeks.

Gorebyss is disappointed 😞

Ehhh idk about that one. In a case like this? Sure. Random crimes are almost never solved tho. If you go two states over in a car, shoot someone in the face, and then go home, then you’re almost never gonna get caught. Especially if it occurred somewhere with a high crime rate or to a member of a marginalized community.

Don’t get any ideas tho!

That doesn’t change the distribution of demographics by itself. Even assuming the birth rate skyrocketed after the nixing of the one child policy, it takes ~20 years before those people are working age.

I was confused at first trying to read your comment and just wanted to let you know that in this context it’s spelled ‘morale’. Like “The team had high morale.”

The way you spelled it is like “That man has a good moral compass.”

I don’t mean to be rude, just wanted to let you know.

Are you suggesting that architectural styles are not based on interactions with different peoples and that the type of architecture, for example, from 200-500CE is not going to vary greatly in different regions such as East Asia and Europe? And that those peoples with individual cultures and ideas about architecture won’t ever interact with their neighbors, creating cross-cultural styles? That these cultures will never interact and reach a quorum on specific styles of buildings, especially when brought together through larger institutions such as religion?

She literally clarified that she was going to provide weapons for defense from Iran and its puppets, that she will fight for a 2 state solution, and called for a cease fire. Like a sentence later.

Jfc. Race to the bottom, though I don’t blame you when this guy is purposely taking things out of context.

From a content creator’s standpoint, sure. The issue is that when the end user doesn’t have a shiny new thing they’re interested in in front of them every 30 or so seconds they just log off and stop using the service. Why use mastodon if bluesky/threads/whatever shows them, generally, more of what they want to see and less of what they don’t?

Most people are using social media as a way to veg out and unwind these days. They don’t really care if somebody is able to game the system, just that they see more that lets them veg out (or alternatively makes them angry, driving increased engagement).

I agree that this is generally bad, but trying to sidestep it completely like Mastodon is is just going to result in a network that never hits the critical mass necessary to start exponential growth.

Why? We have one person telling them “don’t do that” and another encouraging them saying “Go harder” and you really don’t think there’s gonna be a difference in the actions the IDF takes?

Israel needs the US as an ally to continue doing what it does, and if their actions become completely indefensible to the US people (they haven’t yet; people are stupid) they will lose that alliance, so long as a Democrat is in office. Trump has ALREADY shown his willingness to ally with dictators, but his voters literally just don’t believe it. Just as they won’t believe that the “most moral army in the world” is committing genocide. Quite literally the only possible way that this situation improves for Palestine is a Kamala presidency, somebody who is actually calling for a 2 state solution and ceasefire instead of “kill those dang muslims”.

This seems like pretty strong evidence for always voting against the republican party, especially considering the later actions of Carter concerning this situation.

In essence what you’ve shown is proof that the Republican party is always worse for the world as a whole than the Democratic party. Good job!

Which one of these options do you think would be worse for the Palestinian people? The one who very overtly wants them dead, or the one who covertly sells weapons to their murderers to feed the military industrial complex and keep deep-seated US alliances strong?

It’s not a hard question.

But the roots of words aren’t what words mean in modern English. Otherwise, spirit would mean ‘breath’. Logic doesn’t mean “words” even though it came from logos. Besides all that, we’re on “science” memes so it doesn’t really matter what the term means outside of that world.

A theory in the scientific world/literature/common understanding is significantly stronger than a hypothesis.

HAMAS is still a terrorist group that wants the destruction of Israel and its citizens, often invoking religious imagery and themes concerning such. Let’s not pretend there’s good guys in this situation, whether or not you believe in the idea of HAMAS as freedom fighters.

For example, the founding charter contains lines like this: The hour of judgment shall not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, so that the Jews hide behind trees and stones, and each tree and stone will say: ‘Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him,’ except for the Gharqad tree, for it is the tree of the Jews.

There’s no room for religious extremism in a leftist worldview regardless of who the extremist is.

Wat?
