Your analogy requires a powerful faction of people in Poland directly shooting rockets at Russian-occupied Ukraine. Still a significant event, but this descent continually shows the problem with analogies.

I wish all the people on the left who think Hillary were going to get picked were gamblers. You could stand to make a lot of money off of them being wrong.
Hour vs. hour it’s the best form of transportation
You get more space, there’s no TSA, you don’t get charged for bringing luggage, you can carry on liquids, you get leg room, the wifi is decent.
But if I’m traveling a really far distance… For example, if I’m going from California to New York I’d rather go by plane. Going by train for that seems to be pretty horrible. America is in desperate need of a ground transportation that can get from California to New York quickly.
there were enough checks on his power that he mostly managed to simply be incompetent and chaotic
There were no real checks. He had way too many Republicans in Congress for there to be. Most of what protects America is gentleman’s agreements that we all assume a normal president wouldn’t defy.
If the leader of the FBI attempts to investigate him again, they could just hire a new one who won’t.
That is literally what happened last time. The house (where Republicans are a majority) wouldn’t pass a bill that makes firing the FBI director illegal so there’s no real difference.
I’m asking if you believe no other president would support Israel more than Biden. US president? I don’t believe that. Israel doesn’t believe that. You might. There’s a lot of potential presidents in America.
Your own quote: “[Netanyahu] can’t get that loyalty from any other US president”
Do you actually believe that statement to be true?
My pet peeve is when lids are slightly on. It’s worse than having no lid at all.
Warnings probably work better on products you’re putting in your body. If you have blackened lungs on the cigarette packaging I can’t imagine choosing to smoke.
On social media, you basically have to destroy my experience for me to stop using it in the same way. All effective options are terrible: ads, microtransactions, auto-playing unexpected sounds, nonresponsive interfaces.
Humans are as smart as they ever were. Tech is getting better. I know someone who was tricked by those deepfake Kelly Clarkson weight loss gummy ads. It looks super fake to me, but it’s good enough to trick some people.
I don’t think this is exclusive to right wing populists.
He’s simply congratulating the side he supports. Biden showed support for the Iranian protesters.
And before someone responds “um actually, Biden is as right wing as Clarence Thomas,” Bernie Sanders showed support for the Iranian protesters too.
You’d be hard pressed to find someone to the left of Bernie Sanders who doesn’t support Iranians protesting the right to not be killed for wearing a hijab improperly.
Yes, I differentiate because I think Scarlett sounds less like her character from that movie in real life.
It sounds somewhat like her character from the movie Her to me, but based on the standards set by the entertainment industry it seems reasonable for her to lose the lawsuit. If you can’t hire an actor for a role, you can get a voice actor to do a similar voice. This is done often in animation.
Crispin Glover’s lawsuit against Back to the Future 2 could have set a precedent for image likeness, but he ended up settling, so it seems the industry is just avoiding this problem instead.
I wrote it because it was relevant to the discussion.
They tried to restore the Pyramid of Menkaure by adding granite stones to the exterior, but they stopped because of social media pushback.
Doesn’t seem staged. The demo was imperfect in very normal ways. One imperfection was when it was referencing an old picture that he had earlier sent to the program.
I’d be more convinced it was staged if everything were perfect.
If this weren’t gendered I’m not sure I would connect that this was posted as result of people’s reaction to the bears vs men thing.
He looks white to me. White people can be terrorists too.
He appears to have been radicalized. This other source shows his message that he posted to other people before the attack.
“Peace be upon the Messenger of God. May his peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you,” he wrote in Arabic.
“Brothers please forgive me for any time I have wronged you, I am going in the path of jihad tonight for the sake of Allah Azzawajal,” he then continued in English.
"I am a soldier of the Mujahideen of Al-Qaeda and take responsibility for the actions …
“If you have any illegal or jihadi things online or in real life please make sure to hide them.”
I know it’s not the point, but it’s weird to call things “9/11 scale attacks” when you consider how many buildings were leveled in Gaza.
