We just had one!

I am convinced the goal was to provoke a strong response from Israel. The reason is they knew the strong response from Israel would be disproportional and would damage relations between Israel and the rest of the ME.

Israel was approaching normalized relations with most of the major Arab nations around it, most importantly SA. Normalized relations with Israel would likely mean significantly less political and economical support coming to Hamas. Without outside resources Hamas is neutered.

So, seeing the real possibility of a large reduction in their economic and political power in the horizon they took desperate action to stop it, knowing full well the outcome.

As a Star Trek fan, I dread it.

Unfortunately Paramount is not turning a profit fast enough. So it's almost inevitable. They've made good progress though.

Q3 losses were at a quarter of a billion a quarter.

Last year Q3 losses were half a billion a quarter.

So the deficit has been halved but that's still a billion a year in losses they have to somehow plug.

Good. Influencers are a plague.

It's such an odd argument. It's true that the democrat party is the party pre 20th century that supported slavery rights.

The deep south was a Democratic stronghold until around the 1950s when the party started supporting civil rights and social reform.

At this point the southern wing of the party broke off from the main party.

The Republican party was founded specifically by anti slavery activists in the 1850s and was rather neutral on civil rights issues post civil war until they saw the fracture in the Democrat party in the 1950s and used the opportunity to change their platform to oppose social reform in order to pick up those disenfranchised southern voters.

So saying the democrat party was the party of slavery during the civil war is one of those things that's technically true but has no bearing on the present.

I never watched x-files when it aired.

I tried to watch it a few years back but only made it to season 2. Maybe it gets better later, but the show was so formulaic that I grew bored of it pretty quick.

It happens, but it's limited to mastectomies.

There is also the argument that messing with hormones during puberty is probably not a great idea.

Ah, I see.

Eh, I'm here to relax and have fun.

Not be told I'm a piece of shit who deserves to be executed because I had the audacity to be born every ten minutes.

I did that for my employees this year.

Pissed off I've client who wanted us to work on their project this week because it's when they are least busy.

When I demanded 20k to pay out my guys to make them miss their week off they backed down.

If anything, that supports the idea that the poll numbers should be even harder against the war than they are reported.
