Biden and Obama both could have used the leahy law on day one. We have evidence going that far back that Israel systematically commits war crimes, including occupying Palestine in an illegal manner. To be clear there is a way they could have done it legally. But things including extending their own, civilian, legal system into the occupied areas preclude it being legal.

I hate that you’re right. I want to live in a country that’s actually moral.

Sex has always been a double standard. Just look at teacher cases. Hot adult woman sexes teenage boy? Trumpets! Hot adult man sexes teenage girl? We must carefully decide the order of torture so he doesn’t die too fast!

I’m 40 going on 60, (thanks Iraq), and I can no longer tell the difference between a high school kid and a college kid. I’ve decided everyone below 25 is a kid, but I recognize it would be ridiculous to make that the age of majority.

Oh no. You most certainly can. If that officer doesn’t manage to shoot you then the next one will, repeat as needed until true. Unless you’ve got a literal army to fight off the national guard this does not end well. And as a reminder they get drones, attack helicopters, armored vehicles, and infantry squads with 20 years of experience in exactly this fight.

I seriously implore you to think about how that goes, for you, and for the country.

Biden very clearly was saying things to try and keep a lid on domestic unrest. He literally parroted, (and still does) whatever Netanyahu says. Then he always blames Hamas for Netanyahu tossing in a known deal breaker at the last minute, (occupation of Gaza), even though Biden said he doesn’t want that either.

Biden’s entire conduct over Israel has been in bad faith.

Harris could not possibly have the same line as Biden so far because she doesn’t have control over weapons shipments or negotiations. All she can do is call for peace, and yeah those calls get tainted when your boss is saying the exact same stuff in bad faith. But if we aren’t smart enough to realize she cannot possibly be operating in bad faith at his level until January 20th, then we deserve everything we get.

Peace has always been her call. We have yet to see how she would work for it because she isn’t in the hot seat yet. We have a choice between someone calling for peace, but not really pro Palestinian, and someone calling for ultra death squads.

Grow up.

Not if she wants to get elected. I’ve said since the convention that they’re trying their best to not piss off either side and that’s mostly been their strategy. Even when she’s releasing statements on the death of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders she’s very careful to say, as an American leader, I’m glad this dude, who killed Americans, is dead.

Of course that was evidence of her being a flaming Zionist to people who want Trump elected.

There’s been a lot of FUD about it and .ml has been running wild denying anything even remotely pro peace from her.

At any rate literally all we need at this point is a president that tells Netanyahu he either accepts a negotiated return of remaining hostages and withdraws or he loses our weapons support.

But Biden is also doing his best to pump up their ammo supply so the next president actually doesn’t have the influence Biden could have had. It’s 2024 and I’m ashamed we didn’t learn from supporting South Africa and Iran into the flames. They’ve been shamelessly giving Israel our best military technology with no regard to their political situation. College students called this as the most likely path 2 decades ago, and here we are appearing to be caught by surprise.

Lol, maybe the guys at the top. But the career people were unofficially pretty vocal about not liking him.

Okay we’re not talking about the same thing here.

The length of your day is not defined by your time zone. It is defined by your latitude, how far north of the equator you are. X degrees north gets Y hours of sunlight at N time of year.

It’s that simple. So instead of creating a fucking nightmare for commerce and programming, we should be working the hours that make sense. Being on the western edge of a time zone means your work hours should be different than on the Eastern edge.

If you shift the zone, you’re not going to get more sunlight, you’re going to get a later time to go home from your boss. The problem isn’t the time zone. It’s capitalism demanding you work the entire day away even though productivity has increased massively and we work far more than our ancestors from supposedly dreary times.

That’s why shifting the time zone is, at most, going to get you the sun in your eyes as you drive home. It’s not going to give you any more hours of sunlight. Those don’t magically appear. And it wastes energy as people try to heat the coldest part of the day instead of staying under their blankets. Savings Time literally is the worst option except in the one regard of trying to preserve afternoon light for people rich enough to enjoy it.

Unfortunately we can’t make it zero chance. You could always just sit there on the curb, oblivious, and get shot.

That’s it that’s the problem. The only thing he could have done was be immediately and massively submissive.

Yet again we see where the civilian is expected to have better de-escalation skills than the person with the badge.

I’ll be that guy. Up to ME it was pretty good and it just worked. Then it took up the every other version being good thing that we’re used to up to 10. It’s only really now that they’re trying to kill 10 and push us onto 11 that it’s really become a problem.

The second amendment doesn’t actually exist beyond the gun store counter. Which is the most American way possible of enforcing it.

At this point we’re going to start giving the same advice for interacting with police as with soldiers in a war zone. Basically do whatever they say. And if it’s contradictory then sit on your heels and put your hands up. Make yourself as un-aggressive as possible so the scared, sleep deprived, teenager with a machine gun man child with a badge and a gun can’t possibly see you as a threat.

.world is not the only instance.

Actually, we should be thankful for their divine presence.

I found 300k on a Kenworth model. But reading more about what they want to do, they need startup costs. They’re going to lease the trucks directly to drivers and companies. So a big chunk is going to operations costs until they get going, marketing, etc.

Honestly I’m fine with spending a little more on this to make sure it doesn’t run out of money before getting off the ground.

I’m going to assume there’s a service and transporting contract of some kind in there too.
