The idea of even having a debate anymore is so funny. At this point? What could they possibly say to each other? Who would be persuaded by anything they said? It’s just mindless devotion to a form now.

Western liberals are completely useless in this sort of confrontation. At some point you have to stop granting these people their premises and disengage, it’s been like a decade of antisemitism being brought up specifically as a cudgel against any movement to restrain the entity. A sensible person would at some point stop granting them the ability to suck all the attention and air up.

Nobody who is harping on about this will ever be satisfied by concessions, and there is no material concession that can even be granted. If you want to stop the genocide you’re going to be called an antisemite, this could not be more clear at this point, but libs are not willing to let anyone think something unpleasant about them. So this will just keep working. It’s infuriating.

Wait what’s the way of talking about this that’s not ableist? Everyone I know casually uses narcissist, this is genuinely the first time I’m hearing about this.

It’s impressive in a dark way that he can just say this to the assembly, thumb his nose at the idea that there is an international community and that human rights matter, and nobody will do anything. Dude feels like he’s won and is dabbing on the entire world.

I think if I did this I would have the decency not to tell people around me who could actually suffer if they don’t make enough money how stressed I am by my imaginary play money job.

I personally know someone who is the heir to a petroleum industry fortune yet works a menial retail job, allows this job to stress him out to no end, constantly expresses fear and worry about not being able to pay bills, and then everything he needs is airdropped into his life by his fabulously wealthy family who pay for everything. Like literally just doing a working class job for no reason. It’s bizarre.

It’s really something how the rest of the world is just watching the US dismantle every avenue they have to peacefully pursue their own sovereignty without getting into a hot war. You’d think just as a matter of self preservation somebody would be making a fuss about these moves.

It’s brutal to consider but could they just siege Taiz? I have to imagine it would be impossible to truck in supplies once they’ve surrounded it and I don’t know that any regional power invested in the proxy government would risk aircraft trying to use the airport.

I’m still waiting for that tariff check.

This is legit what the r/worldnews silly boys are saying.

Is there any way to know how to evaluate this against the supposed offensive from the Saudi backed side on the east? I take it from a cursory look that the west and places Ansar Allah currently holds are far more populated and strategic but I don’t know what to make of the stuff most outlets are going on about.

Can we get some more solid sourcing on this? Everything I find from any media source is just playing up the Saudi offensive, might just be dated or biased but I’m wary about getting too excited after what happened in Syria.

"Your honor you can clearly see in exhibit A that the AI tweeted “Whoever smellt it dealt it.”

For sure, I don’t mean to denigrate people who do it other ways, it’s just really difficult to even imagine trying to plan for long term stuff with separate accounts. Or the idea that I wouldn’t cover an expense that came up because I’d be using ‘my’ money for it. It’s a completely different way of thinking about the financial resources we have.

Yeah I’m honestly kinda baffled that people do it other ways, we are planning long term for shared goals as a team, why would we sequester money away from the family? To what end? I guess technically we have separate retirement funds but we talk about what’s in them as an assessment of how we would pay for things collectively.

It’s also shown that Mrs. Weasley can conjure food, I believe she creates sauce with her wand. So it’s just BS.

Hey so this might not be the appropriate place to do this but I just have to say:

Whoever is taking my donuts, just because there’s a dozen donuts in a box in the break room DOES NOT mean you can have one. I can’t fit the box in my cubicle but they are all mine, you CANNOT continue to take my donuts. I will ask my KGB handler to deal with you if this does not stop.

Oh I guess I assumed the people writing these books were coming from outside of the community and would presumably want to convert Amish people out of being Mennonites or something.

Converting them to what though, they’re already Protestants.

From the Detroit News article on the same thing:

"The couple are currently vacationing in Italy with Stevens’ mother before traveling together in the coming days to Israel, where Turkish’s father was born in Haifa and he still has family. Turkish’s grandparents were Holocaust refugees, he said.

The main purpose of the trip is to meet with survivors of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas assault on Israel, including a visit to the site of the music festival in southern Israel that was attacked, said Turkish and Stevens, who is co-chair of the Bipartisan Congressional Hostage Task Force."
