Gee, I sure wish I profited off of this.

It's not just republicans.

It's illegal to grow your own weed in Illinois recreationally.

It's a start I guess? Maybe? I don't think the people attacking Palestinians care about coming to the US right now.

I'd prefer to see the US withhold the billions of dollars of monetary aid it gives Israel every year. Maybe give it to Ukraine?

Because the parent comment explicitly mentioned the IDF?

He said "Hamas and IDF are one and the same." Why do you only ask for evidence about the IDF?

If you’re going to discard any evidence coming from Israelis

The only "evidence" I've seen about Hamas rape cases are testimonies. They probably happened, but every news article has only cited testimonies. Have you seen evidence of Hamas committing rape that isn't just a testimony?

I also hold the IDF to the same standard and don't take Hamas' claims against them at face value. Both could be lying or telling the truth, but objective evidence leaves way less room for ambiguity and manipulation.

Why are you only asking for evidence about the IDF?

All I've seen were testimonies from Israelis about Hamas. History has shown that Israelis have no problem lying to make their enemies look bad.

We suffer the consequences of our actions.

Who gives them the power?

Oh right. Everyone else, lol!

Basics of mathematical thinking? You mean problem solving?

Damn. Imagine wanting to work for a society that treats you like this.

While it wouldn't surprise me at all for this to be true, I'm not going to take Israeli testimonies at face-value.

They just have a history of lying to make their enemies look bad, so I consider that history whenever there's no objective evidence.

Same reason I wouldn't trust Russian testimonies at face-value.

Money > environment

The ruling class will be fine. It's everyone else who will suffer.

Blame everyone who thought the disparity in wealth should grow instead of shrink.

I think we should go back to abacuses and sundials.

You might not always have paper and pencil.

I always had subtitles on when playing video games as a kid.

It really enhanced my reading comprehension and writing.

I was one of the kids in school who said that and it turned out to be true.

Reading, on the other hand, was very important to me. As well as history.

I don't really consider doing arithmetic to be important for lawyers.

If you can use a calculator, all you need to do is understand the very simple concepts. This applies to the vast majority of people who use math in their everyday lives.

“why did they change this!?”

It's funny, as a child learning 'old math', I always thought "is this the only way to do it? Why are we doing it this way?"

Glad people are finding alternatives instead of just getting tunnel-visioned into doing what we've always done.

In what world do you think children have fewer resources at their disposal now than they did decades ago?

Reading is important.

Math is not.

It's by design. We don't want the disparity in wealth to shrink so we only elect people who exacerbate it.

I mean, that doesn't have to stop the jury from including it in their verdict.

The legal system is way more flimsy than a lot of you people realize.

Here's a case of a bootlegger that killed his wife after he got out of jail because she left him and sold all his stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Remus

He was found not guilty even though he admitted to doing it. Apparently the courtroom cheered (I don't blame them, tbh.)
