It's not exactly hard to point to these incidents and say "the damn kid did it because he's 10 and has parents that are absent due to jobs or mental health reasons".

The boy won't get the help he needs because it's not there. And there's a certain political group that gets off on the idea of people having no help, because they didn't need it and did fine.

I don't disagree with that. I learned about this conflict in like 2012-2013. Never heard of it being a problem first.

$3b/year at the time in arms to Israel, and the U.S. received nothing. Well I thought so at the time. The problem is that some big intelligence assets are there - ballistic missile detection and interception systems. The US essentially is using Israel as an area to guard international anti-nuclear weapon facilities in one of the already fairly unstable regions in the world.

The US faces a choice. Stop sending the arms and risk losing that technology, or continue to send them and risk Israel belligerently killing its neighbors.

Given that the Eastern part of the world still holds hostility towards the West simply because we have a view that people are allowed to dissent from their governments and that they are presumably nuclear armed, the US will never let that technology go, unless it is replaced with something better.

... It helps the argument but it makes me even more depressed

How do you people have that much energy when you're sick

There has been a distinct historical lack of potential solutions being tried. Because of that we have the modern day shit show where no one is willing to try to come up with potential solutions.

The first and most vital component is to remove Netanyahou and zionists from power. Only Israel can do that. (Through non violent means).

Without that all the evidence shows that violence will contribute.

It's hard to stop a train!

I personally wouldn't lead an assault against modern trains. You would always know the direction they are headed, they know it as well, and you could sabotage it all you want but that train will still barrel right through your fortifications

It has been for a while, as soon as the censored word posts from grandma started showing up. It's pretty damn uncomfortable

Yeah this might actually not be that far from reality. Computer vision already did a large amount of the lifting, with the massive pushes towards AI, AI will take the rest of us plebians healthcare.

No, see that is explicitly not what I agreed with before.

Microsoft buys the plant and Microsoft pays start and maintenance cost.

If it will privately benefit Microsoft they can privately fund it.

I'm so happy that Magats caught on after all these years.

Even my parents call them Magats now I love it.

Let's be real, Humans are an invasive species native to Africa

 

This is what I do for work I guess

 
 

It will still break them if you try it

 
 

I'm talking like one person brought in all the money for a decade, then a divorce happens. Some of it makes sense - a house with mortgage, one spouse buys the other out of the house. Which is great, but if one spouse doesn't have the income to take a loan out to buy the other, does that mean that the spouse who does have the income has the choice to buy out or sell?

Similarly, things like 401ks and pensions I imagine you can't just take out half the cash in them and give that to their spouse. Or does that have to be a loan for the amounts in those plans?

Is it debt all the way down for both?

 
 

Let me set the stage: Newly single dad of a young kid. After COVID-19 I haven't done much outside of my home and taking care of my kid. I work full time-remote, and between the kiddo and leaving room for a hobby or taking care of the house, it seems like the only other thing I have time for is sleep.

The thing I know is that this is likely an issue with my anxiety and anxious attachment. The conclusion we've arrived at in therapy is that I gotta meet people. I apparently forgot, or don't know how to do that. Where to meet people. It's not a big city, but 200k-300k people in the county.

Maybe I'm looking for something of a strategy more than anything.

edit: thank you guys, I really appreciate it!
