Absolutely one of the worst takes I've seen.
These aren't settlers and they weren't running a Canadian Indian school burying children out back either. Kids trying to share their beliefs (misguided as they may be) aren't colonizers and if they aren't welcome, execution is not the right answer you troglodyte.
It's not rocket science to expect a society to condemn extrajudicial violence. Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad about it.
Have you been to East Oregon or Idaho? They're way ahead of you. Looking for an extremist compound and lax gun laws? Look no further. Good potatoes though...
Hey! Nobody post anything TrickDacy's seen online before! WT actual F guys!? Don't you know he's seen this already!? FFS!
Man is it refreshing to hear a Taiwanese perspective in the mix. Every post, every comment is a bunch of armchair "experts" talking about an issue they clearly haven't the slightest personal experience or context for. Not to come off as a jerk but it sure would be nice to hear what the actual people involved think instead of rank speculation. Reminds me of all the infectious disease experts during covid and military strategists in Feb 2022.
If it fits, I clicks.
Cat logic approved.
Initial capability of 90x truckloads of aid per day, scaling up to planned 150x loads capacity. 500x needed a day to meet the requirement and vastly more inefficient than simply driving it in. JLOTS is not a replacement or even a fraction of the need for simply opening the Rafah gate—where aid trucks are already staged to drive aid through without needing to add dock operations to the equation.
I wonder where it got it's name from?
Today in "win stupid prizes" news...
I knew he got drafted but I didn't know Silverstein made it to Colonel!
CPT Willard: They told me that you had gone totally insane, and that your methods were unsound.
COL Kurtz: Are my methods unsound?
CPT Willard: I don’t see any method at all, sir.
I'd just love to see something non-formulaic this year. With the writer's strikes, and state of the film industry, I'll take anything at this point.
(Don't interpret this as criticism of the writer's guild. The people who make the art should absolutely be able to support themselves while executive split blockbuster profits)
First off, we're free speech absolutists and censoring Hunter Biden's dickpics was the crime of the century.
Secondly, anyone who disagrees with our unfathomably narrow worldview should be met with the full might of the state!
Free speech! (but not like that)
CIS had an interesting chat with John Mearscheimer about Israel that's unsurprising, but worth the listen. The host commented with a running joke that, "having been strongly supportive of Netanyahu after October 7, Joe Biden is seriously invested in the two-state solution—Michigan and Pennsylvania (@1:17:38)
Tough sell. Sure it's obvious who will make the situation measurably worse in nearly every way, but it's really hard to motivate and mobilize a voting block on harm reduction, when the incumbent elicits strongly emotional revulsion right now.
Recency bias, negativity bias, etc. are so hard to overcome. It's like trying to logic your way out of an argument someone has emotion'd themselves into. You may know the answer conceptually, but actually feeling ok about it enough to act isn't a logic proposition. It's one of the most emotionally charged decisions we make.
Not a demographic I'd be counting on showing up in large numbers if I we're a campaign strategist. Sadly, Trump is retaining well over 90% of his voting coalition from 2020, whereas Biden is only retaining a fraction of his (very diverse) block. Since the election will come down to a very small number of votes, he's going to need all of his 2020 coalition to show up. 4 years of reality make that a hard bargain for Arab Americans and Republicans who held their noses after Jan 6 and voted blue though. Ugh.
