If I understand it correctly, and please correct me if I'm wrong, Russian interference in Syria has been exceptionally devastating for Isis in the region.

Hot dogs and hot chocolate:)

3, I'm certain it'll be a success as well

Taking my oldest skiing for the first time in her life

It's both infuriating and embarrassing

So god damned stupid/malicious. Both him and the majority of Europe it seems said something to the like off: Israel are allowed to defend themselves. Defend themselves on Palestinian land. With weapons sold by us. And now we "encourage" restraint, like Israel has ever done that when it comes to civilians. They are more than happy to bomb the women and children being used as shields by Hamad.

What're they doing in Costa Rica?

I pay a lot of taxes. Those taxes are, primarily, used for the common good (schools, health care, roads, infrastructure etc.) Whatever is left of my paycheck I can spend as I see fit.

I doubt cutting taxes will help y'all. Putting taxes to good use will

So here's what I (think I) know. Proper historians please correct me.

Modern history saw Palestine mainly populated by Christians and Muslims till late 1800s, when a rise in Zionism led to increased migration into Palestine. This kept increasing and really accelerated from Germany in mid 1930s (strange huh.)

When Israel officially got its title as a nation given to them by the UN in 1947, the Arab nations all voted against as they felt the share of Palestine left to be called Palestine was not enough.

Conflict has been escalating since. But I feel this is the basis for the conflict as it is today.

It is. To the detriment of everyone

Further adding to the outrage, Elisha Yered, an ultranationalist settler leader and former adviser to a lawmaker in Netanyahu’s governing coalition, defended the spitters, arguing that spitting at Christian clergy and at churches was an “ancient Jewish custom”.

So, even if that was not absolute bullshit, then that would have been a shit custom. How do you get this vile? Yea, well, we've been spitting on "the others" since ancient times isn't a good argument. Just means you've had a fucking awful custom. What a cunt

Thank you

Eli5 on Joe Manchin please? Never heard of him

Wait, no joke? Ræl is not a very nice thing to call someone in Norwegian

Very surprised no-one mentioned History Unobscured

I believe it works so well on those who are in a bad financial situation because whatever little money they make, they want to/need to keep as much of it as possible.

That makes them an easy target of "we're going to lower taxes." While of course only doing it for the wealthy and screaming the left wants to give your hard earned money to lazy people, immigrants, sex changes or whatever marginalized group is the flavour of the year to attack.

The marathon mountaineering girltwink sounds interesting

A while ago me and my now wife moved out of the country for her studies. We didn't live together at the time so I was hesitant about selling my place. I also didn't want to travel all the way back for showings, maintenance or whatever. So I used a broker/realtor.

And I'm glad I did, as the last people who lived there just stopped paying rent. That economic burden fell on the realtor. They didn't treat my place nicely, and that was my cost to fix. But I still would have been in a difficult situation with potential squatters who refused to pay rent if it weren't for them.

I agree that it's more often than not pointless, but I was lucky to use them.

I don't know why it's uncomfortable for women here, but I assume they would feel that way whether they revealed their gender or not

Then I really don't see the issue. Not like people would willingly put themselves in that kind of situation without a reason
