peppers-ghoston IDF officers ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near Gaza food distribution sites

Really? You don't recall any terrorist attacks done by Israel preceding Oct 7th? You're either lying or ignorant.

I'll answer your question though. The answer is to go after Hamas directly rather than carpet bombing the entire Gaza strip. That's not their goal though.

Maybe consider why the people your country has tortured for 70+ years has a dislike of you. October 7th was not the beginning of history.

You should consider that AI is often wrong and stop using it as a source of truth.

Israel is a defacto extension of the US. They're a part of us as much as Texas is.

That bias is earned, especially over actions the US has committed covertly in Europe over the last 50 years.

Because that would be anti-business. Illegal immigration is only a problem when you need to wind up the right wingers about something.

I hate both and think it would be the funniest thing in history if Elon got deported over this spat.

peppers-ghoston Why console makers can legally brick your game console

It depends on the game. I know some games are too big to fit on a single switch cartridge so you need to download the rest when you insert it. The switch 2 is going to come with blank cards that have nothing on them but allow you to download the game when inserted as well.

Please just make an option for people's feeds to be purely chronological. That alone would make it a step above most social media out there now.

Are any of these societies something you'd aspire to move towards in your country?

Not sure I understand what you're getting at here. The only country not dominated by market forces that I know of is China and it's barely the case even there.

peppers-ghoston To 'Reclaim Future-Making', Amazon Workers Published Collection of SciFi Stories

To me at least it's hard to imagine a good future because I understand climate change will ruin quality of life for most of humanity. I know what must be done to combat it will not be done due to the economic systems that dominate most countries. It's easier to envision the end of the world than it is to envision the end of capitalism.

Just knowing we do have the ability to slow things down, but actively choose not to in the name of profits and comfort is incredibly depressing and demotivating. The future looks bleak because it will be.

Having credentials doesn't make you not an idiot. It's important to understand that you can be very educated or skilled in certain things but it doesn't make you good at everything.

There's plenty of cultural differences I accept about Europe, you can manage to accept this one about the US.

Yeah I still don't think you're right. The point you're making is understood to the point that it's just noise to add an explainer every time you see the word free.

Important context here is that Americans pay on average higher healthcare costs than any country with universal healthcare. We have to pay more and get worse service for that payment. Not only are we paying more, there's more parties involved, more hoops to jump through and it's extremely frustrating.

I'd think the dose would be different because it has to go through your stomach rather than directly injected.

I wonder if this will make side effects more apparent. 7 doses a week vs. once a week with the shot.

I just went to the doctor yesterday and had a 3 hour wait for them to tell me I need to see a specialist that won't see me for 4 months and in that time I'm waiting I could suffer serious consequences. At least the white coats maintained their sanctity though.

>A "due process" does not guarantee a lawyer. In case of immigration violations, for example, the due process consists of detention and subsequent deportation.

Who told you this information? Immigration violations are still supposed to be heard by a court and fair representation is required.
