Anecdata, but I've been in a Waymo that avoided an accident that I wouldn't have been able to. It would have been a head on collision around a tight, two-way bend with parked cars on either side. That alone gave me a fair bit of c

Respectfully, none of what you’re describing is real life. Police don’t go around fingerprinting random pieces of plastic. You can just deface it in any way and throw it out the window on a highway or into any trash can and it will quite li

Surely you recognize that all you need to do is to rub it on some concrete for a couple of minutes to completely destroy it right? Not to mention if you owned a pair of scissors or a lighter or something…

“Actual Syrians” isn’t a thing for this — it’s like wanting to hear from ‘actual Americans’ what they thought of the US election. Depending on the ethnicity, religion and politics of those Syrians you’ll get wildly different views.

This article is equally as unhinged as the people it’s criticizing. Referring to the 1948 ethnic cleansing of Arabs as a “war against Israel” is next level dehumanization, but unfortunately par for the course for Zionist drivel.
