If viewed like a 'total war', attacking every possible advantage the enemy may have whether civilian or military, it does makes sense from a historic military doctrine standpoint. The IDF believes they are immune to judgement and prosecution, and their goal is to destroy the Palestinian nation and people. They believe they are righteous, supported by God, so any attack that has a chance to weaken the Palestinian people is an attack they will take.
Overall though I believe these attacks have weakened support for Israel so much that they have a greater chance of being defeated than anytime I've seen before this conflict.
In my experience people in the Northeast US pretty much never refer to New York City as just 'New York'. New York will mean the state, they will say 'the city' or 'NYC' to differentiate from the state. Or they will say upstate to mean the rest of the state outside of NYC metro area.
It appears so, it was called other things by native people but the Dutch seem to be the first to call it Long Island in the 1600s. Many geographic features in the area have similar sort of names, like Short Hill, East River, West River, Indian Hill, Short Beach, Beaver Swamp, the colonists really weren't very clever with their naming.
In NY state it essentially means anywhere north of NYC, the capital city Albany is upstate NY. It doesn't seem to mean north of the capital in any state unless that capital is at the southern part.
More than prop up, US police have trained in Israel for years and we also train and advise the IDF. There would be no Israel or genocide being committed by the IDF if it weren't for the support of the US.
The majority might not celebrate this murder directly, but support for the Republican party in the US is implicit support for dehumanization of trans people which inspires these murders. The policies and rhetoric used by the mainstream right-wing are responsible for this death.
Encouraging an explicitly genocidal political movement is not protected free speech, similar to how a person can be charged with a crime for threatening someones life.
They would at the least be booked on charges that will obviously not stick, so that there face and name becomes public data and they get added to lists by political rivals. This was the MO throughout 2020, there were several popular twitter accounts that would just post the mugshots and names of people arrested, the majority of which weren't charged or often weren't even part of the protest but ended up doxxed and harrassed by chuds.
Nazi ideology is explicit violent and encourages murder of non-white people and others, there is no constitutional protection for literally threatening someone's life even if only through words.
If you menancingly say to someone "I'm going to kill you" you can be charged with a crime for that in the US. Supporting Naziism is little different than saying "I encourage the murder of Jews and other non-Aryans."
Troubleshooting, researching, and having curiosity are all important in this field.
Me and my millenial siblings went to good schools, college, etc, but nothing at school seemed to encourage these things. In school it felt like a lot of tricks on how to be successful on multiple choice and short essay tests.
We were all typically ahead of our peers I think because at home we were taught art and handywork, how to research and solve problems on our own, how to think critically and be curious from a young age.
Among my cohort it seemed like the arts and creativity were seen as totally separate from technical work like programming. But some of the most successful people I've known in the computer science field have been very artistic as well. There are skills you learn outside of the typical 'hard science' curriculum that seem neglected.
Cops don't care though, they get paid a lot in many places and still go out of their way to do as little as possible. I'm sure plenty of people know a cop or two personally that are great people and do help others, but the institution as a whole attracts the worst types and encourages unnecessary violent responses, it's outdated and needs changing, the funding could be better served elsewhere.
It could be viewed more accurately as 'never underestimate the power that emotional abuse and manipulation can have on a vulnerable person'. You're not wrong exactly but I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. To me it makes it sound like you're saying she should have known better than to let herself get murdered.
Ignorant of what?? The things I see with my eyes and ears in real life? I'm seriously baffled, what the fuck is your deal, I even said you were correct
