Apparently this is a yearly thing there…sheesh.

I’m not giving anyone a “pass” to genocide, only attempting to be very clear about what the precise definition of it is.

Everyone killing people for their stuff sucks, but humans were doing that shit forever.

Not every generation was loading specific people into trains and camps just to gather them for removal from the genetic code.

Then why is it called the human race? We must be in a hurry to get somewhere!

Historically humanity has not treated “outsiders” to their in-groups very well.

Maybe it’s some form of human instinct from countless generations of violence against ourselves, it’s hard to say.

Either way we shouldn’t let basic fears get in the way of helping each other.

The overwhelming vast majority of PEOPLE in the Gaza Strip are innocent civilians just like you and me, and want nothing to do with this nonsense.

Families began stockpiling food as soon as Saturday's attack began but fear that despite Hamas assurances supplies will run low.

With Israel cutting off electricity supplies into Gaza, a looming fuel shortage means private generators as well as the enclave's own power station, which is still providing about four hours of energy a day, will struggle to function.

Electricity shortages mean residents cannot recharge phones, so are cut off from news of each other and from events, and are unable to pump water into rooftop tanks.

At night the enclave is plunged into total darkness, punctuated by the blasts of air strikes.

War is indeed hell, my friend.

Egypt allows in only a few hundred Gaza travelers a day, so Hamas maintains a months-long waiting list. Those who pay for "coordination" — a bribe believed to be pocketed by authorities on both sides of the border — get bumped higher up the list.

Lots of innocent young people are just trying to get away, but can’t and are going to get destroyed because of these two extreme sides.

You realize most of them aren’t even legally allowed to leave, right?

The United States is one of the few countries that has a system of taxing its citizens and residents on their worldwide income, including income earned abroad. This practice is known as "citizenship-based taxation." There are a few reasons why the U.S. follows this approach:

1. Historical Reasons: The United States has had a system of citizenship-based taxation in place for a long time. It dates back to the Civil War era when it was implemented to fund the war effort.

2. Desire to Prevent Tax Evasion: Citizenship-based taxation is intended to prevent U.S. citizens and residents from avoiding taxes by moving their assets or income abroad. Without it, individuals might seek tax havens to reduce their tax liability.

3. Complex Tax Code: The U.S. tax code is complex, and changing to a different system, such as residence-based taxation (taxing only income earned within the country), would require a significant overhaul of tax laws.
4. Revenue Generation: Taxing foreign income allows the U.S. government to generate revenue from its citizens and residents, regardless of where they earn their income.

It's worth noting that while the U.S. taxes its citizens and residents on foreign income, there are mechanisms in place, such as the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and foreign tax credits, to mitigate double taxation and reduce the tax burden on income earned in other countries. However, compliance with U.S. tax laws related to foreign income can be complex and may require professional assistance for those living abroad.

They tax their people more to pay for it.

It’s not rocket surgery.

The answer definitely wouldn’t be to tax the wealthy less…

Arguing that allowing the super wealthy to just take all their stuff and leave wouldn’t hurt the system we have now even more than it already does is one of the most asinine things I think I’ve read on the Internet. Congratulations.

You can just Google it or ask AI, y’know. Number 2 really stands out, if you’re curious.

Hope that helps!

It’s the only path I know, unfortunately.

Or my favorite:

“How’s life?”

“Taking forever!”

Right?

I too, was trying to figure out what the fuck this guy was getting at until it hit me that they hate windows so much they can’t stop thinking about it.

And maybe you’re like me and a super taster, so some of these things have more bitter flavors than other people can detect.

Lots of people thought kids were just picky, but that actually meant they could taste things you couldn’t!

Also, vegetables for the most part have continued to improve in flavor as time goes on. Selective breeding and stuff like that.

Yeah they obliterated smaller outside towns to scare the bigger cities into giving them shit. They killed a lot but I’m not sure it counts as genocide since the eradication of people wasn’t the point.

Another stadia user here.

I loved the service but he neglected to tell you cyberpunk looked like hot garbage compared to its PC equivalent.

I pretty much only used it for Destiny, and I too spent hundreds of dollars supporting the platform only to get it all back.

The convenience was wonderful, but worthless if they didn’t have what you wanted to play, and Google became less and less interested in working with developers as time went on.

That’s true, didn’t he make that song about cellphones being hotlines?

Totally relevant to Android!

Dang even posting content pissed you off.

Sorry I upset upset you by simply sharing more of what you asked for.
