Yeah, no. You said not voting for Biden is voting for a worse situation for Palestine, which is only true in swing states. Which, I suspect, you know. I didn’t change the topic; you brought up non-election years and other ballot issues.

But if you need it spelled out (we both know you don’t:) if you don’t live in a swing state, your vote for president doesn’t matter.

Don’t be deliberately dense. We’re talking about electing the president, and you asked about a comparison between Biden and Trump.

If you don’t live in a swing state, your vote doesn’t matter.

Ngo monitor is right wing bullshit with zero credibility.

Holy fuck. 373 games. I’m very touched that so many are giving their hard work away to support this cause. Got it and added the extra payment on.

If the administration admits this, it will be legally bound by the Lahey act, which constrains military aid to countries committing human rights violations. They know how ridiculous their denials look.

I think it’s fair to acknowledge that everything is a trade-off, and without downvotes, we have to accept the downsides.

I’m not sure that’s true - I’m pretty sure it comes from Japanese and other Asian games like Maple Story, then it got picked up by mobile games companies as they were figuring out monetization there, especially Zynga.

There are reports that low level Nazis involved in the Holocaust drank themselves stupid wracked with guilt. Meanwhile the IDF thinks they’re a bunch of comedians.

constantly screwed over by apple changing things on their platforms.

This was it for me. Like, you’re going to blame valve because apple keeps pulling the carpet out from under devs and users?

Lol.

As long as security updates are bundled with antifeature updates, this amounts to “install candy crush or go to jail!”

I’d be fine with what you describe in the second paragraph, but that’s not what’s meant by “forced.” That’s opt-out. Forced is what’s really objectionable, especially when it’s abused, as discussed in the article and elsewhere in these comments.

Even at the risk of Microsoft adding more spyware to my machine, reinstalling apps I deliberately uninstalled, reverting privacy settings I set, strongarming me into using their browser, etc? All of which has been reported.

My hardware, my choice.

Meh. You’re not just talking about just making it automatic or easy or recommended, but actually forcing everyone to have to go along with it and taking away the option to not do it.

Let’s have the authorities force us to eat salad and exercise while we’re at it, it’s better for us

I doubt he’ll face repercussions. I think this is an “only Nixon could go to China” situation.

Yes thank you. I’m pretty worried about what happens without this guy. We still have Ed Markey but he’s up there too.

Much as a lot of the worst people in government are relics from another time, age discrimination doesn’t behoove us, IMO. Some of the best are also the most venerable. I’d take Bernie in a heartbeat.

Hate that phrase. Great way to excuse malice.

It does a disservice to the health ministry to invariably pin it as “Hamas-run” like the media usually does. It’s a professional, bureaucratic apparatus. Not really any more Hamas-run than the US Bureau of Land Management is Democrat-run. Which is to say, technically accurate but usually stated with a purposeful insinuation.

All this is to say that you’re right, they’re concerned with accuracy and credibility. But credit where credit is due, it’s because of the health ministry itself, not Hamas.

Thanks for the heads up, will be there
