Conservatives seem to be on the wrong side of every single issue.

Yeah the piefed UI in a browser is perfectly fine.

The Strait isn't "blocked" as in a physical mine field. They can allow boats through as they wish.

If you get stopped by the police because you're driving too fast or driving erratically, is there any chance they would draw their firearm during that interaction, even if they dont point it at you?

Thanks.

You're probably right but there's several other metal posts so I dont want this one to be significantly different.

Thanks for your input on the angle brackets. That seems sensible, theyre not load bearing.

Nah.

Citizens have e always been held accountable for the acts and behaviour of their nation.

For example, if a single IDF soldier had raped or murdered a Palestinian, and the IDF had a trial and punished them appropriately, then perhaps an Israeli is not accountable for that

However when a country perpetuates a campaign of genocide, you cant really expect a free pass as a conscientious objector. The abuse of Palestinians is so deeply embedded in Israeli culture - soldiers sharing photos of the victims of their abuse is a celebrated daily occurrence.

In Australia for example our indigenous first Australians were abused by European settlers. That was mostly before I was born, but my generation is still held to account.

The thing about good scams is that they exist in the grey area between fraud and real services.

Almost every answer in this thread is an example of this. Insurance for example - this is when you pay someone else to take responsibility for a risk. The modern economy couldn't exist without it. However, there are plenty of insurance policies which don't provide much value and are more like fraud than a real service.

Forgive me if some of the details are a little off, happy to be corrected, but:

• the first attempt during the campaign was almost certainly fake.
• barbie lady said something about "shots fired" a few hours before the incident, as though she had misunderstood something in the group chat.
• last week a judge said the only basis on which Trump could build the Ballroom was over security concerns.
• moments after the incident Trump said that they need the Ballroom because of security concerns at the WH.
• the photos do look pathetically staged, although the videos less-so.

I used to be ambivalent to Israel but for fuck sake they just seem like a collection of the most awful people on the planet. Regardless of their history i feel like they deserve to have their entire country blockaded and obliterated to dust.

Even setting aside America's bullshit Medical industry, yanks have really weird ideas about freedom.

As an Australian the American concept of freedom always seemed nuts, even pre-Trump. Yes American's have the freedom to carry firearms, but I much prefer the Australian freedom to live without fear of being shot.
