Individuals who commit war crimes can and should be held responsible for their actions. "Just following orders" wasn't a valid excuse for the Nazis, and it shouldn't be one for the IDF.

Started the new season of Squid Game last night. Probably going to finish it up tonight. Really curious to see where they are going to go with the story.

Respect for the admission. I'm somewhat there with you.

How was the research conducted? Their website talks about the sample size, but I didn't see how respondents were selected. They claim it's representative of the national population, but if they're cold-calling random people to ask the questions, I can almost guarantee there are going to be more older people responding because younger people tend not to answer unknown phone calls.

Is it cool to say that? I always thought that was a pejorative term.

One of the worst people I ever had the displeasure of working with was from Texas.

Granted, I have also worked with others from Texas that were fine.

Sure, but a good meme's value can't be measured in currency.

Good. Those apps profit off of desperate people trying to find companionship, but the reality is that the majority of users never make any meaningful connections despite signing up for the "premium" offerings.

There's an interesting history behind the word colonel. IIRC, the English "coronel" and the French "colonel" used to be used somewhat interchangeably. Eventually, we kept the French spelling but the English pronunciation.

Lost my boy today (sh.itjust.works)

I'm heartbroken. We found out he was FIV positive shortly after we got him, but that doesn't make the loss any easier. He was only 1.5 years old. Hold your cats close for me tonight.

Edit: I fell asleep, so I'm sorry that I didn't respond to everyone. I'm very thankful to everyone for the kind words and support.
