Do you want to teach and encourage them to give up so quickly in the face of long-lasting international issues? That's what you are doing and I hope they see that. This Isreal and Palestine thing did not start in October.

Please redirect your attention to election reform. Fix the system.

You responded to a post that mentioned Trump in the last paragraph

They are saying that nuclear weapons weren't justified considering they were already blockading the country.

You seem to be thinking that they said nuclear weapons weren't justified and neither was blockading.

It's not personal. You aren't just a man, right?

I think you're discounting the heat already being generated even without the water. Water is a good conductor of heat, so if there are any hotspots the crew normally just stays away from, that would spread everywhere, including to the crew. The heat would also accumulate since the rest of the tank would be acting as an insulator except on the outside surfaces.

I bet it's because there would be a lot of heat, especially when the tank's engines need to be more powerful to move all of the added weight.

I think you could swap standards with bar and get a few extra points

Why not advocate for another election system that will make third parties viable? Basically then, your vote should be towards preserving and improving our democracy.

I'm not surprised at an SUV. If it was a older Prius or smart car, however...

I think you might be making a fundamental assumption that quality of each hour of the day is the same.

Maybe for a particular business it does not matter, they just need an employee on the clock to cover time that customers may come in, but I think many businesses have tried this out, and found that they get about as much from their employees in 32 hours as they do in 40 hours.

I think it helps to give people time to rest and deal with life so that they can be more focused and thoughtful when they are with you.

Voting in a First Past the Post election system is like this. If we can switch to another system like the Single Transferrable Vote, we can get better results.

There are other parties even in the US, but they are not taken seriously because they basically take away votes from the big party ideologically closer to them and so they are marginalized. Appropriately so given how FPTP works.

The election system is the real issue that needs to be fixed, and new finance rules around elections aren't going to make enough of a dent.

Saying none just makes you clearly wrong, but I'd be surprised if not every guy has thought a little bit about what it would be like to have their own boobs.

Those honestly sound like better problems to have. I think that being locked into a two party system means that every issue is conflated to be good for one side and bad for the other. It builds a very us-vs-them mentality and boils politics down into a team sport.

The two large parties in power are actually coalitions of smaller groups and I think third parties having more support would actually be more reflective of how coalitions are divided internally. There is a lack of transparency in a 2-party system with what is happening just under the surface.

Politics is still a struggle for power, don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

I think the game is supposed to feel difficult

This is why we need to get past First Past the Post election systems.

It only supports two main parties because votes for other parties are spoiler votes that actually take away from the big party they are most aligned with. The two parties become big tent parties that don't need to align that closely with the people in it.

Most of history is made up of stories.

We can tell different stories of history and many even conflicting ones can be true, but they don't all have the same weight in their impact to the course of events.

For the story to make sense, I'm guessing that the person you're responding to meant OG Oculus or OG Rift as in the development kit.

Love is multiple things and is still meaningful for us.

Theoretically I can see somebody not being attracted to guys, as in masculine people, or just males, but still being turned on by penises as we see in OP's example. That person might not call themselves gay since they wouldn't want to be in a relationship with any guys, but might be interested in a hookup with a trans woman who still had their dick.

Maybe their is some nuance in what being gay is or there is room for another descriptor for this phenomenon.

Edit: reading below, this person might be hetero-romantic and homo-sexual.

That is literally not how they will be counted. You're still not getting it. There would just be a practical effect of your vote working against your adjacent interests.
