Yep, same with journalists. They just love to kill people, especially unarmed civilians. And yet people don’t believe me when I say they indoctrinate the kids to see non-Israelis as subhuman. There are so many videos.

You just know that if the UN sends them anyway, they’ll be killed by IDF murderers soldiers.

Israel did not provide evidence for its claim that cash was being kept under the hospital. Instead, it published an animated graphic that purported to show a bunker under the hospital

Um, what? Anyone with Blender experience could do that. Man, this part of the conflict is gonna be a whole fucking thing in the history books. I wish I was more cynical so I could get over the fact that other countries don’t seem to give a shit about the blatant lies and terrorist carnage.

being seen in my house is the reason

Yeah, that’s a bullshit reason, so I downvoted.

I downvoted because of the title’s implication that OP kills spiders for no reason. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

It can’t! It’s too busy doing 500 km of burn-in after making it through testing. :(

Never join a robotics startup, lol. You will have to go to standup and it will be useless and annoying basically every time.

Yeah, for some reason I find this hard to read. I think it might be the lack of contrast between the fonts? Could be fixable by adjusting the weight instead of totally changing the font, though. (I would change the handwritten-looking one just because I find it kind of ugly.)

Lol… the US would veto it.

Wow, what a missed layup. Guess she wants to lose all of her goodwill? Fucking strange.

I thought the term “Fediverse” specifically referred to software that uses ActivityPub to federate content across instances. Like how Git is decentralized, but it’s not federated. Now I’m confused.

Isn’t this why reverse image search exists? Some people are just assholes, but there are tools to help you find a source.

Yes, and ETFs have the best odds with pretty low, but relatively stable, returns. It’s fairly low-risk because that’s how index funds work. Retail investing is not really for me, so low-risk is the most I am comfortable with.

In this scenario, I only need to keep the money in stocks for 1 month. It’s not like investing in crypto, I’d lose barely any of it in that time if I lost anything at all.

No knowledge of the financial stuff, but maybe: put most of it in a variety of ETFs, hire a financial advisor and an accountant to help you navigate the system and the taxes, then cash out and donate it.

You spend it without giving it away. Then you give it away. Some countries give you a lot of it back at tax time if you donate to registered charities so you’ll even get something for it. I dunno, I’m a poor so maybe it wouldn’t work out, but it would be cool.

Gotta love some shit icing on the shit cake.

I don’t disagree, but I also don’t think that that’s enough on its face to determine with any certainty that muggles would “win” whatever conflict arose. An army would definitely have a tactical advantage, but wizards are presumably educated in order to be self-sufficient and many of the creature comforts they’re accustomed to can’t actually be acquired with muggle resources - at least from what we see in England, they have their own political systems, press, and currency.

Honestly, I only really see wizards losing immediately in England, lol. It’s canon that many wizards can use spells silently and/or without a wand, and some even create their own spells; they could likely incapacitate a soldier (or many soldiers, depending on the spell) without raising suspicion by having to aim a wand or gun.

I dunno, Magneto gives the US Army a run for their money in X-Men - I would think a similarly talented or experienced wizard would have comparable powers.

Campaign length =/= “narrative development,” but okay. People can still do interviews and events and whatever, but no ads or official campaign duties.

It’s so obvious you’ve never had to think about this before or how it could work, which is exactly why I made my first comment.

What analysis? This comment chain isn’t even about the text of the article. I’m not saying one is better than another, it’s just a fact that other countries have shorter campaigns. 3 months is also not worse than 12 months so I’m not sure what your point is.

A long campaign isn’t an inherent feature of democracy, it’s just what the current American reality is. That doesn’t matter to this particular election, but I’m pointing out that the way y’all do it isn’t the only way in case there are people who genuinely don’t know that.

Might be weird to Americans, but other countries like Canada actually limit their campaigns to 3 months total. I find it odd that you guys’ politicians have a relatively major election every 2 years and essentially don’t take a break from campaigning that entire time.
