Oh. Oh. Thanks for clearing that up. The west made Russia invade Ukraine. They had to do it. Because of the west. Fucking idiot. Do you realize how stupid you sound?

If they don't hear it, then it is essentially saying they agree with the lower court ruling. If they want to be against it then they have to hear it.

But these groups and people weren't the same people as the ones that walked across the land bridge. The cultures had long since diverged and were different. Wars had been fought. Whole groups died or merged. And if you go back a little further, they are all closely related. I don't think the point is that the slaughtering and pillaging was OK. It is that you cannot have a good faith argument on fixing current problems by trying to focus only on arbitrary time periods to claim certain privileges. I am very much in favor of doing more to make the lives of the native americans better, but I also will not make the argument that descendants of Europeans or Africans have no claim to the land there either. Because to do so is not in good faith and just ignores reality. Any time period you pick to decide who has a claim to a place is arbitrary. We cannot change the past. We can only change the future (but we are limited by the confines of the present).

Nah. Don't let the current situation fool you. You've seen that I'm very pro-Israel in my other comments. But there are many of us that are lefties through and through. I mean most Jews in the US lean slightly left of the democrats. I lean further. And David ben Gurion was super leftist. Hardcore socialist commie pinko, that one. If I had been around for the founding of Israel, I'd probably have been kicking back on a kibbutz somewhere.

But the right is definitely not our friend. Most of them support Israel for christo-fascist dreams of the apocalypse. They want to use us. And we should be careful to think that we are the ones using them.

I do not know where you are from, but especially concerning the US and Europe, I do think it's important to understand where this support comes from -- even if they don't actually know it either. It's the underdog problem. Israel is much stronger than in the past. We have won many wars against people who wished to murder us all. We became a force to be reckoned with. And the Palestinian territories are the underdog. And the left has normalized seeing the underdog as the marginalized victim. They are not used to seeing an underdog victimizer. From South Africa to Ireland to PoCs and the LGBT+ communities, they are used to things going one way. And things are not one way. There is a whole 3d plane of possibilities in this world. And that's why I argue more about Israel than anything else on here. To try to help people see that things are not black and white. This isn't a left or right issue. This isn't a David vs Goliath issue. This is something that cannot be boiled down to simple concepts or comparisons. And the more you know, the harder it really is to if not agree with what Israel is doing, to at least understand why they might make the choices they do. And it is not for the sole purpose of ethnic cleansing or genocide. At least not for the majority.

There won't be one because he is disqualified from office (if these suits are successful). Not from running. From office. If Mickey Mouse won we wouldn't have a cartoon for president. Second place would win.

Regardless we might have another insurrection attempt, but this time the authorities will be more prepared. So unless the military decides on a coup, a successful suit here would be the end of it for him.

So edgy and clever. What parts of what used to be called Mandatory Palestine, and is currently considered Israel and the territories of Palestine, do you consider colonialism?

So I left out that somewhere late in the movie she cut it off, but it was literally at the end of the last class (with her) and I couldn't remember what scene it was. I was thinking it was the man ass in the shower but that would've been to early. Now I remember she was heated after "let's beat these bitches" and ended it at "now that's a titty." But she said turn it off, I got up to do it because I didn't want her to take my tape. The bell rang. I grabbed my video and bolted out of the door. Did not see her again until next year.

And Hamas has a history of using human shields and suicide bombers. You'd put it past them to blow their own shit up and blame Israel?

Holy shit. You are correct and living up to your name. I didn't even know about that species. When I first saw your response I thought you were just fucking around and continuing the joke. Just looks a lot like the magpies that are plentiful in my area. But the grey versus white definitely sets them apart. Thanks sacredbirdman. Any other cool bird facts to share?

I also recommend befriending crows. And magpies.

Looks like a tongue. Pretty sure it counts as french kissing if you lick it.

Last I checked, Trump is still sadly winning. I think he just seems himself in Desantis. And he knows he wouldn't pardon Desantis so he doubts Desantis would pardon him. And also that Desantis could eat some portion of his vote.

What device are you using? If it is a GBA then any game with a proper sleep mode. I think metroid zero, zelda minish cap, probably all the first party games really. If you are on something that has built in sleep mode, then I'm pretty big on the Sonic Advanced games for short play.

For older stuff, maybe ducktales since you will die within a minute or two anyway. Pokemon pinball and super mario bros are also good.
