You mean like getting "the only democracy in the region" to be our ally in supporting America's wars in the region? This is the most often touted "benefit" but to say this actually has value to the average America

The idea is to report all the facts that at least a substantial minority of the public believe to be relevant, regardless of which way they swing politically. All of those facts qualify under this standard, and also the ones I suggested a

If you break it down by religion and ethnicity, support for Israel in America is the highest among white evangelicals. Young white people are leaving religion in increasing numbers and aren't going back to it. Your average white eva

3.3 billion dollars is a substantial sum of money. If it's as insubstantial as you claim, can I then safely surmise that discontinuing that funding would be a political nothingburger? Would American zionist politicians shrug and say

Why not all of those facts? It's only four short sentences, it won't take up much space on a printed newspaper let alone an online article. Throw in some more facts about American gun crime rates vs other countries for good meas

I trust my observations of people I know more than the claims of celebrities. The vegans I've met have pallor skin, very low muscle mass, and look 10-15 years older than they really are. Vegan diets are very often deficient in variou

That wouldn't count as a medical error. Medical error is when the doctors fuck up, not the patients.

Yes exactly, tiling window managers frequently ignore applications trying to set window geometry. It need be no different for exotic VR wayland compositors or whatever else anybody has in mind. The existence of a protocol for setting win

Your comment is entirely factual and fair. Unfortunately the Lennart camp is never here to discuss.

In other words you want to facilitate the bad user habits of Windows, iOS, Android, etc on the Linux desktop. Why do you even want to use the Linux desktop in the first place if you prefer those systems? Stick to what suits you instead o

How many managers need to be in-the-loop with the theft before we can fairly say "the corporation knows"? As far as I'm concerned, even if no managers are aware of it, they should have been aware of it (it's their jo

What does it mean for "Nvidia to know" something? Does it never count as a "corporation knowing" unless the executives are aware of it? Obviously this cannot be the standard by which companies are held accountable.
