In the English language, you can use words such as "write" literally or figuratively. In this context, it seemed obvious to me I was not suggesting that Hamas had bought a publishing company.

I mean Hamas wrote this propaganda. How young were the children they snatched? This more than anything shows they wanted everything that followed.

It's almost like the people who made these decisions don't agree with your esteemed analysis.

Xi Jinping's third term is literally autocracy. President Cheeto would kill for that much power.

America as fucked up as we, are can bash our president and resist his power grabs as much as our oligarchy allows.

In China, you can't even post a whinnie the pooh cartoon because making an autocratic dictator look bad can't fly.

China doesn't have rapid shifts in infrastructure because China bad, it's because China has an autocratic dictatorship which allows for massive investment of resources without argument.

I dunno Silmarillion was one of the driest, most awful books I've ever read. If i wasn't such a huge Tolkien fan I never would have finished it.

Shows great, fuck the armchair critics. If you don't enjoy it, quit watching it. There are always people saying things like, "I hate the show so much, the 15th episode was the worst of them all!" Go watch something you enjoy if it's that bad people.

Costco has always invested heavily in thier workers. I love the place. Even the people selling the hotdogs are making a livable wage, and you can tell by how everyone in that store is helpful and nice.

Sam's club is the evil twin owned by Walmart. I go waaay out of my way to pass a Sam's club and shop at Costco.

"Gay uncle hypothosis" people that don't reproduce increase the likely hood of children surviving, by providing resources to those they love that do reproduce.

Or... killing people is wrong, even shitty people.

Or actually lots and lots of reasons. In a nuanced world filled with billions of people, there are very different viewpoints.

Vigilante justice only feels nice when you agree with the Vigilante. The curse of internet bubbles is that people feel like everyone agrees. Bubbles build extreme values and a lack of understanding of other peoples values.

You become right. Others become bootlickers.

Why would the act of going home change the legality? Or intent?

If i take a $20 bill and hand it to a stranger in front of witnesses and say, "Here you go, this is a gift."

If in 5 mins, I snatch that bill back and walk away. That's legal? Because he didn't touch his house first, and I never had intent to give a gift?

Meth head energetic shinnanageons, leaf blowing the roof of his shack, the most energetic weed cutting I've ever seen swinging the weed eater like a scythe, shooting his shotgun next to his dog, screaming it it to quit barking.

A contractor who worked at my house had actually employed him in the past but had to fire him because he couldn't stop smoking meth at work.

Maybe the guy is disabled. I'm not trying to get to know him better, but from my experiences with him the past several years, the asshole is a sponge on society.
