Char is totally judging your choice in games and movies. totally.
In my defense, most of the movies are from a box of DVDs a family member wanted to get rid of, rather than anything I've actively chosen lol.
That being said, all of the games except the first Guitar Hero (came with the Wii), a few of the movies and all of the burned discs under Gandhi are all me 😄
It (MAGA) was never respectable. It was a racist dog whistle when Reagan used it, when Octavia Butler used it in her dystopian novel Parable of the Talents and yes, even when Bill Clinton did.

igniting plantations to prevent Hezbollah fighters from infiltrating into the south.
Yeah, that's not the real reason. Might be a secondary reason, but just like in Gaza, destruction of food sources and civilian property is NOT incidental. It's very much a deliberate tactic, which is a war crime.
if you are trying to migrate without a job but with an expensive disabillity and little money, then you are just a liabillity to the healthcare system.
And since the country is under no obligation to pay for the care, there is no reason for them to do so
It is just basic resource management, you may not like it, but it is reality
No. Just no. People aren't numbers on a spreadsheet. That's some capitalism mind rot.
all nations have limited resorces artificial scarcity, and need choose to practice resource management deny resources from those that need them most on behalf of those that already have most
There, fixed it for you.
This goes for both capitalism and communism.
Which everyone knows are the two only economic systems possible 🙄
Anything else would be to deny reality the dominant orthodoxy
Fixed it for you again. You're really guzzling that "my masters know best" kool-aid.
all boil down to if it is worth it to the country.
The fundamental purpose of governments is to maximize the well-being of the citizens and other inhabitants. When the government's aims are in conflict with the well-being of the people, the government has failed.
Automatically rejecting people as worthwhile based on putting them in one column or the other on a spreadsheet is a particularly grievous failure.
Because you're not just reporting on the awful status quo. You're mis-characterizing it as natural and inevitable rather than a serious of choices, often wrong, that we keep letting people with questionable motives make on everyone's behalf to the benefit of those who already have too much while others suffer from not having enough.
Put another way, you're framing blind obedience to rules that haven't served the vast majority of people well as not just a good idea but the ONLY possibility.
You may not set policy, but whether you're aware of it or not, you're defending policy that needs attacking.
Sporadic terrorist attacks are in no way acceptable but responding with a full scale invasion that would increase civilian casualties many times over would be even worse.
Palestinian Territory - The massacre carried out by the Israeli army today, Saturday, in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip is strongly condemned by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. Grave concern is also expressed over reports that Israel may have used for military purposes the US pier intended for transporting...
So THAT'S why the Pro-genocide US government insisted on the pier in spite of it being a nearly useless way to deliver aid compared to already existing methods blocked by the IDF!
Yeah. They (pretend to) consider the kind of things that children (and many adults) find more hilarious than anything else "pornographic filth" and racial and ethnic slurs protected speech.
These people are literally mentally unwell authoritarian bigots.
My guess is that the disparity comes from the muscle working differently with each leg. For example by one leg being bent and the other straight. Possibly some leaning and/or sitting too 🤷
Both of the guards have a handle. If the guard that always lies pulls his handle, then the minecart will divert to the second track. If both guards pull their handle, the prisoners will be released. One of the handles is covered by a wooden box, where half of the wooden planks of the original box have been replaced by new ones...
The part about not being able to see the sun is almost certainly true, though, and the usual premise of the riddle is that one of them ONLY tells the truth and one ONLY lies.
As such, either you're in something as implausible as a dungeon with a skylight or that guard is the truth teller.
Qatari news network Al Jazeera is stridently denying any link to Gaza-based journalist Abdallah Aljamal, amid unverified rumors that hostage Noa Argamani had been held at his home in central Gaza’s Nuseirat....
Times of Israel has such immense bias in favor of the IDF and the fascist apartheid regime, and such lax fact checking on the one subject people outside Israel read it for that it's not AT ALL credible and MBFC, being basically the hobby of a conservative Zionist, rates it left of center and highly factual 🤦
All the innocents were put in unnecessary danger by Hamas
Yeah, because Gaza is just FULL of places for Hamas to hide where there's absolutely no civilians around! 🙄
committing a heinous terrorist attack.
True, but the horrific slaughter of 1200 innocent civilians doesn't justify the IDF committing genocide, horrifically slaughtering at least 30000 innocent civilians so far.
the IDF didn’t start this war, Hamas did
The conflict is one of the most powerful and advanced militaries in the history of the world committing genocide on mostly civilians. That's not a war.
And it didn't start in October. It started over 75 years ago with the Nakba, which was a campaign of pro-Israel terrorism to kill and displace Palestinians to make room for settlers.
Ok, I see that my suspicions that you're unreachable by objective reality and unwilling to consider anything but the narrowest of perspectives were well founded, so I'm just going to stop wasting my time and effort on you now.
If I don't put on a decent to good movie I've already seen several times AND brown noise (not to be confused with the theorized Brown Note), odds are I don't fall asleep for several hours if at all.
Sleep advice and other such "lifehacks" are seldom very ADHD-friendly and can be borderline ableist at times.
I've had it with your ridiculous strawmen. I've told you what you need to know (that white people aren't inherently racist and it's therefore not racist to call out racism, including racism specific to white racists) and you keep trying to twist it into something it's not.
I don't know if you're a racist yourself, if you're just a pedant, or if you really believe that you have a valid and important point, but you don't. Not even close.
