The owners of Jerusalem forcing Christians to pay an extra tax…

Hey, I’ve seen this one before!

Increased customer data collection, an ai “assistant” that might require registry editing to remove (I already did this once to kill Cortana for good), and it will require me to reformat my os drive. If I have to reformat and do a fresh install I might as well change OS and be free of their fucking ads as well.

Yup, I’ll be moving over rather than go to win11, ads on my lock screen and search bar nearly made me jump from win10 and there is no way in hell I going to even try to deal with clippy3.0/cortana2.0

Tariffs raise the price of affected goods allowing local suppliers to grow their business and fill the gap. A lot of countries looking to industrialize will institute tariffs to protect their industry so it can grow enough to compete with foreign companies. In our case it’s putting the cart before the horse; our domestic industries are currently unable to supply domestic needs (remember the “logistics” issue at the beginning of COVID?) and several of these goods require specialist knowledge to produce, so it’s not like we can just open a couple factories. Which is the other thing- companies might not invest in new factories as these tariffs could go away tomorrow and it takes time for factories to be built and then to even start producing goods. If the tariffs goes away before anything new is ready they will just shut down.

Are you asking how the USA can pressure Mexico to say no?

India: I consent

Iran : I consent

USA: isn’t there someone you forgot to ask

He was a defense lawyer for a couple of soldiers tried for war crimes, he did the leak because he was annoyed the grunts were being charged, but their officers who ordered/let the war crimes happen only saw court as a witness for the prosecution

Carl marks is being sarcastic. A common anti-communist talking point is saying [communist country] is bad because they jail political dissidents when the west is just as willing

You forget that not all Democrats are progressive, especially politicians who can get an advantage (also kickbacks) from political donations

That Biden still carries water for Israel despite recognizing they misuse the weapons we give them

He’s literally pushing through an anti-immigration bill, also we have always had a strong nativist movement

It ain’t new, half of W’s bushisms were an attempt to avoid giving news media a sound bite or quote out of context

Their oppressive autocracy vs our (?)

Israel is a vassal state to the USA and is integral to American interests in the region (Isreal’s nickname is America’s unsinkable aircraft carrier). Also racism/islamaphobia.

But what does the AMD official have to say about this?

There was an independence referendum in 2014, No won with 55% of the vote. There have been some theories that if brexit happened earlier then yes would have won. So yes it’s definitely possible.

My cousin was in a similar position, he snuggled in a raspberry pi with FF7 installed and would play that in his downtime

It is also a fair note. That neither Palestine or Israel has any real claim. The state that owned the land. The otterman empire. No longer existed when the land was allocated.

What the actual fuck are you talking about. Like seriously, what does it matter that the ottoman empire ruled the land, the Palestinians (including a number of orthodox Jews) lived there. That’s their fucking claim to it

And while the UK allocation of peoples homes was crappy. The fact that the Palestinian peoples leaders refuse to accept any compromise that allows the existence of Israel. Is also the reason the current mess exists.

Do you want to interrogate this further, why was it crappy, could it be because the UK had a vested interest in creating a colonial project? And why should the Palestinians compromise, colonizers are coming in, removing them from their homes and killing them indescriminately. How can you even compromise with Israel when they continue to illegally steal land on the west bank and golan heights (and of they had their way Sinai too)

All sides are pretty fucked up here.

Go fuck yourself

The UN does not recognize a Palestinian government the UN charter explicitly described both the states of Palestine and Isreal

So youre saying we should stop sending arms and money to Russia?

Wait, no that can’t be it, so we should send arms and money to Palestine? Based AF

But to be serious though, the difference is a country has not brought up formal accusations of genocide in Ukraine before the ICJ. Also:
