If I'm understanding what you wrote, I think you actually are bound to Apple. Most people in the Apple ecosystem aren't going to leave it, because there's too much inertia to overcome to leave it.

In theory, yes. In practice, he had to be everything Republicans hated for them to vote against him. I don't believe his lies or suspicious finances were the problems.

The true things about him that got his party to vote against him were: he's gay, he's brown, he's done drag, his Wikipedia page doesn't have a birth place.

I think the distinction is right in the wording, you can be shot and not killed. In your Wikipedia link they define a mass shooting as incidents where 2 out of 7 of their sources define it as a mass shooting, but 3 of those outlets don't require killing to happen at all.

On top of that, in recent memory even the Vermont shooting where 3 Palestinian-Americans were shot it wouldn't be called a mass shooting by that wiki link because they survived (albeit with severe problems) and it was one person short of the threshold.

That being said, the choice of specifying "killing" is sort of weird for outlets to make. If you shoot someone, your intent or expectation is usually for them to die.

Our willingness to self-mutilate on these things really impairs our ability to get the job done... I don’t think Kevin McCarthy is gonna stick around long... So we could be down to a one-seat majority!

Is Gaetz pretending he's not directly responsible for McCarthy possibly leaving?

In fairness, I assumed you were American too, because you said "we end up with this guy as president".

Before you get downvoted, here's a wiki page backing you up.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvest_now,_decrypt_later

"There have been occasions in the last week or so when hostages who had been declared dead by one of the armed groups in Gaza actually turned out not to have died - and have subsequently been released," said Bunkall.

It's bizarre for an article to quote her here without the article talking about any examples.

We didn't lose a chromosome. Two of our ancestors' chromosomes fused to make human chromosome 2.

I think this whole post basically works on that assumption.

The OP says "If you're an art lover, now is the best time to support your favourite smaller artists."

It's heavily implied that those "smaller artists" aren't untrained painters who are using text prompts to generate an image.

I don't watch these, but they make a lot of sense. I've watched movies sometimes and been disappointed that there are no similar movies for me to watch. If you like a generic Hallmark movie you'll have infinite content.

The attempt failed. This isn't really the McCarthy era anymore. Interestingly, that article doesn't even mention communism.

This source backs up your claim with his alleged words.

Indeed, Netanyahu himself had effectively admitted as much a couple of months before Distel Atbaryan made her comments, when he declared in a Likud meeting that “anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state needs to support strengthening Hamas. This is part of our strategy, to isolate Palestinians in Gaza from Palestinians in Judea and Samaria.”

I wasn't providing a source. I was telling you that your interpretation of the words in the article (that we both read) was not accurate. It makes more sense for you to counter that other person with a different article than to claim it says something that it didn't. Maybe I'm wording this in a bizarre way.

Thanks for transcribing the tweet so that others don't have to give it excessive clicks. This might be his new worst mask off moment.

Unfortunately, a bunch of people will probably act shocked while continuing to use the platform that he owns 80% of rather than move to alternatives.

You don't have to believe Israeli reports to accurately interpret what an article says.

I can't independently verify if the source is accurate since I wasn't on the ground in Gaza when this happened. I'm just telling you what the article said. I don't think it's a good practice to lie to people about the claims that sources make.

Yes, they returned fire from the hospital.

EDIT: the part you quoted doesn't say who was firing from where.

That's not true. That's not what the article says.

Fatah gunmen began firing mortars and rocket-propelled grenades at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, drawing Hamas fire from inside the building, killing one Hamas and one Fatah fighter.

According to the article, Fatah was firing on the hospital and Hamas was firing from the hospital.

This deadline is longer than the previous funding bill's deadline and the added attention on the Israel-Hamas conflict has given factions on both sides something to compromise on: No funding for Ukraine in exchange for no funding for Israel. It's a bit weird, but it worked out for Johnson.

If the mods were consistent they would have removed OP's post as per Rule 3.
