This is why having classes in transportation is bad. You are literally in the same vehicle, but companies are trying to convince people to pay more. The only way for this to actually work is to make the cheaper options suck ass.

Airlines have ended up with a business model that depends on them providing bad service.

If you're willing to kill an entire people (that is, genocide) then violence works. There are no native American raids into white settlements in the USA anymore.

Israel has the poor taste to want to use the same tactics that European empires used in the 16th to 20th centuries, but in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Indeed.

Iraq (no nukes) - armies flattened and US-installed government running the show.

North Korea (nukes) - stern finger-wagging by Democrats and angry rhetoric followed by hand jobs from Trump.

Pakistan (got nukes violating treaties) - serious frowning by US until we needed them for our pointless "war on terror" in Afghanistan, then all was forgiven and forgotten.

Iran (desperately seeking nukes) - agreed to stop their efforts for a hot minute until Trump rolled the deal back, showing that US is an unreliable partner and not to be trusted.

Overall the message is clear: get nukes as fast as you can and you'll be safe to torture and oppress your people. The west in general and the US in particular doesn't have any real efforts to stop you (although watch your opsec and don't use Israeli USB sticks you find lying around...).

According to the Wikipedia the Gadsden flag has been used by both left and right movements, and in both military and political contexts.

What particular interpretation do you think that this is not following?

Great it you do not want kids. Not so much if you do want kids.

I don't understand how you are supposed to look at the photos taken with the great camera on an e-ink display?

The mention of "authentic" cuisine is giving me PSTD from working for a Californian company. Apparently that is something very important there, whereas I don't think most of the world gives a shit... even other parts of the US.

I mean, they have nine dashes of legitimacy.

It's an open philosophical question whether omnipotence means:

1. The ability to do anything, or
2. The ability to do anything possible.

The older people get the greater apparent differences of people who are the same age.

I have a friend who unironically believes in expensive services for this reason.

Wow you're right! TIL!

I wanted to buy music, but a CD that I got in the 00's had some "protection" so that I couldn't rip it and listen to it on my MP3 player.

Now, I ripped it from a Linux computer and had no problems, but was so upset that the record companies tried this. I realized that it's not about right or wrong, but just about power and money.

That's the New Testament, meaning the Christian Bible.

The last election in Gaza was in 2006. 65% of the population in Gaza is 24 or younger (!!!) so the majority of Gaza residents literally could not have voted for anyone, including Hamas.

Companies are willing to pay so they can fire people!

New Zealand stopped subsidizing farmers, and survives. So we have at least one data point showing that it is possible.

Godzilla was from 1954!

Definitely worth watching.
