That sounds like an abusive relationship to me, regarding Israel. But if we could not stop Israel from committing genocide no matter what, then i would have us not enable it. If they have the resources available to commit genocide without our help, then they don’t need our help covering their defense, economy, nor political sway either.

Would actively sending our money and troops to Palestine to attack Israel be the correct play? It’s not so cut and dry as the Ukraine/ Russia war. But that money could go tword humanitarian efforts in Palestine, i am not so much concerned about the Palestinian government as i am the Palestinian people.

Possibly, at that point it would be based on trust that the administration would not continue genocide actions. If Israel changed the ruling party and immediately stopped their genocide then that would be the fastest means to return. I have issues with the land grab into Palestine for the same reason i side with Ukraine. But genocide gives me more than just issues.

I knew this would come up, which is why i specified this. Might as well as cut the head off the “every country has committed genocide at some point” argument. Not every country is actively committing genocide, Israel is. America is their chef supplier of power. America is actively Shielding them from the consequences of committing genocide.

So we should stop backing a country that is actively committing genocide full stop. No money, no weapons, no blocking sanctions, no threatening countries and organizations trying to help the victims. This is the literal bare minimum, as we should be sanctioning them, we should be guaranteeing humanitarian aid to Palestinians.

When is it not an active genocide? When the genocide stops.

I suppose you have a point, i may be confused with minimum wage, and my personal experience. The price hike on all goods seems to be independent from median wage

It’s more of recognition that the internet is not the Wild West it used to be. Your anonymity is dependent on how much you are worth to track, and that value shrinks every day. If you want to buy cheaper video games, or watch geo locked Netflix content you are fine… for now. But the US government has been offering VPNs for people wanting to be anonymous for a wile now. So its not extreme for china to do it too.

Probably, but any thought that VPNs keep you anonymous to anyone other then script kiddies and minor companies is fool hardy

Its better then more inflation, but like i said, we are still in the lurch, i guess if we ignore all previous inflation then the fact we are breaking even is great news, for those that manage 3% growth in their wages per year. Historically wages are stagnant, and inflation must always climb or the pyramid collapses. Granted i am not versed in economic theory, but i base success in what i can afford per hour worked

The unreleased one has an unironic charm in it. I’m not sure it would have been viable in theaters but i liked it. But all the movies that made it to theaters were just very blah

So just to clarify, we didn’t gain ground. All the shock of the inflation is still with us in ways that actually matters, like things are still crazy expensive, the only difference now is that things get more expensive… a little bit slower. But still vastly outpaces wage growth?

Bravo

Are they using the magnetic hall sensors for the thumb sticks? Like the Gulikit? I love that controller, but it doesn’t have the flippers on the back

They think one is the choice of the mother, and the other the choice of god. Only god is allowed to renig on his promise of life. And besides if it wasn’t cruel, what would be the point?
