Why wasn't Trump convicted?

The actual answer is it was a bit of both, but the majority of it was the rising antisemitism and anti Jewish laws in Arab countries (as a result of the Israel Palestine conflict)

They do meaningfully care about the significant radiation that is likely to drift into their own citizens. Israel is not a large country. Your analysis on nuclear use doesn't consider the lingering poisoning of people and land compared

I don't appreciate this characterisation. A lot of the conflict in BAR comes from people having different expectations about the multiplayer game experience. I'm not going to deny BAR has salty veterans and a meta. It's a hig

I had a look at the map stats. Of the 64 current maps for 8v8, 72% of the 1024 labelled roles/positions are pure front. 2nd from front isn't really a role and mainly just has timing differences, unless it's a front/tech

It's about a mismatch between expectations of new players and existing players. Some new players want to learn in multiplayer and they want to play how they play and don't want to change that. That attitude simply doesn't wor

I agree. It's the robust old-school lobby type community and it's great. Multiple sub communities with different cultures and players depending on the tradition of map type and settings. New or casual players going into the wrong

The same issues exist for platform moderation. Often they're complex decisions on divisive topics, delegated to people outside the culture with little training, time, or incentive to make wise judgements.

This is very important advice if you want to have a good time playing the game. Picking the right lobby is changes your experience drastically.

aetherspawn is playing in a complex 8v8 team game. They don't want to play and don't enjoy 6 out of the 8 roles/positions on each team. Unless you're the highest score player in the lobby you don't get to reserve a

Are you willing to go through a worldwide recession, pay hundreds of billions and sacrifice thousands of lives in the hope of getting success out of Trump and Netanyahu's blunders? Until the US is as drone warfare dominant as it is i

Another one was when the popular perception was that Obama did more drone strikes than Trump did. In fact, Trump had authorised more than Obama did. Trump had just stopped the reporting of the drone strikes.

To me this argument sounds like, " the Dems funded too much trans science so you made us defund climate and social science and damage the rest" Is that about right?

Edit/clarification: I forgot about British multiculturalism. You would have to imagine Britain had similar 'national and ethnic trauma' to Israel for first IRA example to really work.

I agree. Netanyahu's strategy of destroying the possibility for the 2 state solution just locks his country into a future of either apartheid, ethnic minority status, or eternal war against ever more sophisticated and hateful enemies.

Without Western support Iran and the proxies will choke Israel until either they make concessions to the Palestinians (which can be a very good thing, depending on the concessions demanded), or Israel gets backed into a corner and either r

If the IRA's demands were that the British had to accept enough Irish migration to become a minority in their country (the right of return) somehow I don't think their despicable methods would have paid off. The difference between

My fear is that Trump will keep the show going until the end of his term but generally destroy the market's fundamental health and stability. Then a Dem president tries to re-rationalise the markets, they can't handle the correcti

I remember very well Republican figures attacking Obama for sending "pallets of cash" to Iran. It was giving Iran's own money back to them, so will they react similarly to Trump making the same deal?

Ranked choice voting and the implementation of independent impartial redistricting are very urgently needed reforms.

by Sabinus 4mo ago
Conversely, I think civics where anonymous people tell you voting isn't effective and promote a kind of resentful powerless nihilism is dangerous to society. Reform is preferable to revolution which is preferable to oppression.

He does. He's just stuck in between his previous rethoric about the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) and his misreading of IRGC capabilities and will. He can't take a worse deal than the Obama deal he spent years criticizing then persona

Yeah it's very dangerous to rely on Google as a small to medium business. Support is deliberately non existent.
