This is the most amazing hack of all time. Don't you see? They got Doom to run in Trump's head.

The other reason is the christian belief that the Rapture (and return of christ) cannot occur until the Jewish people return to isreal. It’s called christian zionism. Even as a child in the 90s in a roman catholic church we hear about how the jewish people were favored by god and we must support israel. I think the context of that was fundraising for settlement orgs.

Just wanted to expand on this. According to Revelation, in the end times 125,000 Jews will convert to Christianity and the rest will be "destroyed". No more Jews. So Jesus is the answer... to the Jewish question.

Anyway, the Zionist/ Christian nationalist alliance is better explained by antisemitism than by Christian love, friendship, or solidarity.

the historical truth that Russia wins every war of attrition.

You don't need history to know this is bullshit. Current events are enough to prove this wrong.

A coworker once told me that the Confederacy was doomed because the Union had superior industrial might. I told him that sounds like wisdom in English, but in Vietnamese it's a joke.

The difference isn't culture it's gun laws and regulations. Gun control works.

Honestly I don't think that the grandfather or child was out of bounds here. I've seen plenty of tourists get way closer to dangerous animals before. That bison was just an asshole. It seemed to be provoked by the pickup-truck and just started rampaging.

They may not have observed regulation distance, but they did not approach or do anything to provoke the animal. The tourists were just in the wrong place/ time.

You can't do love by yourself. What you experienced may seem profound, but it can't be anything but myopic because it's all in your imagination. This is like falling in love with a fictional character or a celebrity.

It's the difference between sex and masturbation.

There was once a Japanese celebrity who's stalker was able to find out her location by a street sign that was reflected in her eye. You don't need an astrolabe to be a creep.

One of the biggest obstacles to participation in youth programs in the US isn't money, it's transportation and time. Having a parent available for hours on weeknights plus away games for months implies a solid middle class home before any dues are collected.

In more well resourced sports like football and baseball, getting the poor kids a ride home after practice and games is often essential for the program.

Language changes and it doesn't matter if you like it or not. Complaining about it is just "old man yells at cloud".

Terrorist is a social distinction not a rational one; It's a slur. Trying to launder it with definitions and fixed meaning misses the point.

Terrorist isn't even synonymous with violence because depending on where you are, a terrorist is a race, ethnicity, politics, or religion.

I'm very suspicious of anyone who thinks punishment is the solution to anything. Double that when the person being subjected to suffering is low on the social order.
