Groups are just that fundamental to human psychology.

This Kurzgesacht video actually touches on it.

"Minor inconvenience"

Of course not. The fingerless gloves are also niche, boutique, and premium.

At face value I do get where you're coming from, but this is standard practice, and I'm happy to provide the evidence you are looking for, because it's important that the truth comes out and I respect you for asking for it.

IDF officers and investigators intentionally cover up murders and abuse, even when leaked internal correspondences admit the killings were totally unjustified and offer alternative explanations to be given to the press.

The Guardian’s correspondent in Israel, Chris McGreal, wrote about a conversation he had with the Israeli military commander in southern Gaza at the time, Colonel Pinhas “Pinky” Zuaretz. The Colonel both admits that his troops murder children for no reason, and implies it's necessary to prevent the Holocaust from happening again. In court, he claimed the whole of southern Gaza was a combat zone and anyone who entered parts of it had made themselves a target.

Also from the article: “An Israeli army officer [who] emptied the magazine of his automatic rifle into a 13-year-old Palestinian girl, Iman al-Hams, and then said he would have done the same even if she had been three years old, was cleared by a military court. [The girl] was shot and wounded after crossing the invisible red line around an Israeli military base in Rafah, but she was never any closer than 100 yards. The officer then left the base in order to "confirm the kill" by pumping the wounded girl full of bullets. An Israeli military investigation concluded he had acted properly.”

Then you are extremely lucky, as am I. I have enough money saved up that I took a break.

However, something like 40% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and just don't have that option. The threat of poverty is constantly chasing them. When you're in that situation, you will take the best option available even if it's garbage or next to garbage.

One of them is a well known journalist.

The main argument is that we are in a system of people who are way more powerful than us, and have largely taken away our options until we agree. We're facing widespread protests and international strikes right now because we don't like the options they've given us, and we're trying to change the system.

Just because somebody takes away your options until you agree, doesn't mean they aren't forcing you. Just because you happen to be satisfied with what you have, doesn't mean that something better is not being denied from you, even though it is possible for you to have it.

Nope, the down votes are for ignorance

Categorically false.

Many people with down syndrome live fulfilling, independent lives, and even have children with other people who have down syndrome

Is commenting for engagement boost a thing?

This is incredible and I never could have imagined it. This will democratize the power of programming

People have opinions, so they will pay more money for some things and less money for other things.

There are things that you think are valuable that other people think are stupid. Like your opinions on art, for example.

So... Without a government, there just wouldn't be armies? Rich and powerful private citizens wouldn't form their own armed forces?

You're going to have to take my word for it because I'm lazy and in bed, but Israel goes to serious effort to make no distinction between civilian, terrorist, protester or child.

They have rules of engagement so broad that basically nobody is safe. When soldiers gunned down children, they are either not charged or cleared by falsified evidence. Some of which admits that they killing was unjustified and offers alternative explanations to be given to the press.

The amount that pops into my head is big enough that I'd say I don't need it.

It may complicate your life though. You'd have no explanation of who you are or why you're there.

Your position assumes also that no photos can be staged. That's a whole category of "true" photos that tell a false narrative.

Vimeo is a private operation just like YouTube.

Peertube is a "federated" system where videos are hosted among the computers of the people who upload videos.

What do you mean you won't permit it? You mean you will actually try to stop Israel from doing it? Will you stop giving Israel money?

Or are you just going to do nothing?

Dvorak is a cypher of Qwerty tho. Anything typed in Dvorak but transcribed as english can be reliably identified and decyphered

I thought it was expelled. Didn't know expulsed was a word. Cuz otherwise it implies that expelled has a noun form counterpart too, and expellation doesn't seem right.
