  • It can be hard to find evidence beyond pictures that look pretty damning on those 'education camps' and first hand accounts of people who claim to have experienced things that we would usually refer to as part of a genocidal campaign. China is trying real hard to get to that point, It's maybe the nicest way to wipe out an ethnic group, but primary focus past few years seems to be on forced implanted contraception and sterilization.

    It definitely seems to be working out.

  • The switch is interesting because it probably has the most unique catalog. There are a lot of games you can only get on the switch and there are also a lot of games that are popular elsewhere but just don't fit right with the switch ecosystem.

  • I know this is a really common comparison, but I feel like this is also kind of weird. I personally believe both should be legal with obvious constraints in the realm of drunk driving/etc. Basically, do what you want with your body as long as you aren't risking undue harm on others.

    Main point though, I don't feel like it's a sound argument to equate the legality of alcohol to the legality of marijuana. Making either illegal is shaky on their own merits and trying to put both in the same category makes both look unfavorable.

  • They're making money in the short term by cutting costs. Maximizing perceived profitability likely in preparation for a sell off. You see it all the time, but it's rare to see it happen to something where the consequences of that are so public.

  • This is not medical advice, but assume your sleep is fucked for a reason, if you actually feel like you're sleeping during that time, the most common reason by far is sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea, the best solution is likely going to be losing weight and exercising or buying an expensive machine to sleep with (probably both to start with).

    However, getting to the point... the cheap but not nearly as good solution is to sleep on your side and use breathe right strips. You may not sleep well, but you'll sleep slightly better.

  • It's a nice thought and I'd hope the majority of the Palestinian people might... settle for that, but Hamas itself is founded on principles that are fairly extreme. Their charter is real rough, a paragraph early on about murdering all Jews everywhere is just the start.

    Hamas has defined their government based on perpetual war and other problematic conditions. It's difficult to envision a lasting peace while they're still around.

  • The official said the reason was that Hamas had not responded to two Israeli demands: a list of hostages specifying which are alive and which are dead; and confirmation of the ratio of Palestinian prisoners to be released from Israeli prisons in exchange for hostages.

    This is in theory what we're waiting on. That sounds reasonable at first glance, but we do have to remember that we are only hearing from one side.

  • I get where you're coming from and I want to be on your side, but this can get real tricky depending on the... I guess belief systems that make up the majority of the people on the bus.

    I see where your hearts at, and I like it, but even though a lot of them are being assholes about it, some of the people in the thread make a good point. How we feel about 'group pressure' depends a lot on which group is most numerous at the time.

  • I mean, you're in the right place then my friend, because you're not going to subscribe to much of anything that has an international presence.

    It kinda sucks when you're in one of the 'high price' countries, but there's lot of countries who wouldn't have it at all if they had to pay our prices.

  • I can back this up with experience.

    I'm actively running two piholes for years now. About 2/3rds of my traffic does go to the primary and some seem to 'lock on' to using just one, but most devices will swap between the two at their leisure.

  • It's a hard thing to talk about without coming across as inflammatory, especially considering the purpose of the building. I couldn't find many other pictures of it beyond that one, but it didn't seem like it had a lot going for it beyond the fact that a building serving that purpose had been at that site for 600 years.
