Just can't outright say that he's wrong without fearing backlash from the rest of the MAGA cult.

Eh, I said what I said when my emotions were high on this. Still against the death penalty though.

That's great news! My last job ended up "forcing" employees to sign non-competes or forgo their bonuses. Glad I left right before this became a thing. Always wondered how they'd even keep track and enforce something like that.

I'm against the death penalty. But maybe whoever did this to the dolphin should also get to experience what it went through.

I miss Flash games on browsers. Limewire. YouTube before influencers.

Yeah exactly. He MADE Nike and Gatorade and athletic clothing popular. Dude made the NBA and basketball a globally popular market. He was way more than just an athlete.

Michael Jordan in the 90s was a worldwide phenomenon. I can totally believe it if they mentioned him. I'm from India originally and even we knew who he was in the 90s.

April 1st was too fast for them so they opted to use April 8th.

Hamas claims to have lost 6000 and the IDF has claimed the number is 12000. Either way it's horrific that 32,000 innocent people have been killed. People that had no intention of attacking Israel. People who are just caught in between religious extremists. And it doesn't seem like the IDF is stopping any time soon.

32,000 innocent people were killed in Gaza. That's 32,000 "mistakes" right there.

Also why does the other vase only have some leaves coming out of it? And why is the liquid in it yellow?

Nah they should've just given him even less to pay. Make it $10 total and give him another month to come up with the money. That's what they just did.

At this point the Israeli government are terrorists because of the genocide they are causing. But I'm now reluctant to give them that classification only because they are a body of government that represents a country. The Houthis and Hamas groups don't really represent any country. They certainly don't represent Gaza because they're also exploiting them and decided to kill many innocent people, the event that started this whole war.

Unless you're saying that Hamas is the representative of the Gazan people and so that makes all of Gaza responsible for the attack on Israel?

The two groups in power in this situation are both horrible and currently Israel is doing unforgivable acts of eradication that is only going to further the hate they get from everyone that they're trying to destroy. But let's not think of this as "good guys vs bad guys". There's no good side, both are horrible, and innocent people are paying the price.

This is accurate, I agree. I should've worded my statement better.

Man I got downvoted to oblivion and banned from some instance for calling them terrorists just a month or so ago.

Someone claimed that "at least someone has the guts to stand up to violence" or something regarding the Israel-Gaza conflict. I said no... The Houthis are terrorists, and so is Hamas, but what Israel is doing in Gaza is also horrible.

I said the real victims are the innocent Gazan people who are trapped in a fight between two extremist sides, Israel and Hamas. Neither side has the best interest of Gaza in their minds.

I got downvoted and banned for saying that lol.

Edit: I didn't use the word "terrorist" for Israel only because they have an official, recognized government that represents millions of people. The Houthis and Hamas groups aren't recognized as a government that represents people. Hamas has exploited Gaza for decades, let's not pretend as if they're some good natured freedom fighters. If we can call the government of Israel evil for committing this genocide, then we should also hold Hamas and Houthis accountable for their evil. It's not a black and white situation.

But what about Denim T-Rex?

This is that Charlie Kelley kind of logic.

Even if he does, it doesn't even matter anymore. They'll just find an excuse to say it's alright if he does it. He'll get some sort of leeway.

The legal system is doing EVERYTHING it can to delay literally everything for this man, just so that election time will creep closer and closer and they can just say, "oh it's too close to election time and we can't just cancel a Presidential candidate in the midst of all this".

These exceptions will never be given to any normal citizen of the US, but when it's this rich orange idiot, every rule in existence will bend.

Everyone everywhere pretty much. This is war. I wouldn't blame anyone at all for not wanting to fight.
