I feel like this was an ELI5 moment.

Strong dollar, weak dollar: The value you want it to be depends on your policy goals. For example, do you want to drive exports or cheapen imports?

Just because nobody's mentioned them yet and they are worth trying out: Solus & Void. Both are independent and rolling distributions.

Worse case scenario, park them in urban areas that Russia might invade and use them as fixed cannons.

According to the USDA, soda represents the most purchased item on food stamps. Candy represents the 11th most purchased item. Very few of the items on the top 20 list are very healthy. Vegetables and fruits are missing from the most altogether, even though these require no prep work before eating.

Where I live, the school gives you the option to remain, even if you move, so long as you can get yourself there. I thought this would be policy everywhere?

It goes way deeper than this! Cardinal Pell (Australia) was investigating financial abuse at the Vatican when Becciu bribed Australian officials to prosecute Pell for alleged crimes (some say they were trumped up, others disagree). Becciu was trying to get Pell out of the picture so he wouldn't get caught in his financial crimes. Becciu was using the Vatican bank to launder money for the Italian Mafia who probably had dirt on him. Very bad stuff.

Eventually Pell's guilt was dropped and he was released from prison and Becciu was arrested, tried, and found guilty.

Edit: Some basic information here, but it always goes deeper.

She has two prior felony drug convictions. She thought those were expunged but they weren't. So when she indicated otherwise on her paperwork, that triggered an arrest. This probably would have happened under the Biden administration too, but it wouldn't have made the news.

I'm going to say they probably give marching orders to the dictators of multiple countries.

Can someone clarify, which rights? To use this toilet instead of that toilet?

You can look at this conversation chain. What claims have I made?

Are you making a straw-man or is this something you are witnessing?

I’m sure it’s happened.

And all I am saying is, if we can make it stop, I'll call that a win, no matter who is the one who stops it.

Stopping these types of evils doesn't mean we approve evil elsewhere. I am not sure why you don't understand this.

It is because we are social, communial creatures. Others' actions help define our culture and our culture is the social air we breathe. They don't want the culture to value what you enjoy to the degree they perceive you enjoying it.

I think it is word games. What constitutes "Talking about tariffs?" Each side wants the other to appear to be the one that comes to the table first.

Edit: And I was right. Today's headline: China exempts some goods from US tariffs to limit trade war pain.

AP is neutral enough for you?

In its report, the task force cited incidents where Jewish students had been threatened or shoved, or subjected to blatantly antisemitic symbols like swastikas.

But it also described a broader pattern of Jewish students feeling ostracized from classmates who had once been friends.

My lunch everyday is the same. 1/2 cup of quick oats mixed with hot water. Costs pennies and helped get me super fit!

Things like this didn't happen?

Protests are fine but were there not threats and low-grade acts of aggression that targeted Jewish people at some of these campuses?

Threatening someone because they are Jewish is antisemitic, however.
