Her party tried to rob a military arsenal, she was charged with a conspiracy and corruption, and so she can't run. It went through their courts. It all seems legal, considering people in the US can't run for similar reasons. It might be corrupt, idk, but the US doesn't have a leg to stand on with corrupt courts. Why sanction other countries, which always affects the regular citizens, for this stuff we can't even figure out ourselves?

Now they're going to make Venezuela people poorer for not fixing problems we can't even fix in our damn country? It seems hypocritical. Hell, people should sanction us for allowing a fascist insirrectiomist run for President against the law ofnour Constitution. That's way worse for the world.

That's fair. I was going to not see it but they reversed so hard on the OGL thing I decided to reward them with my $15 lol.

You wouldn't think DnD would be that expensive to make. It's just printing books with a couple game designer authors and game testers involved. But selling books also doesn't make much money.

I think the trick to making money is definitely the licensing. It's an IP everyone's knows and lots of nerds love. Whenever someone doesn't know what to buy me for a birthday or Christmas present they get me some DnD crap and honestly, I usually appreciate it lol. I love my dumb DnD dice ice tray, pajama pants, cool looking minis I pretend I'll one day paint, or beholder waffle iron. It's stupid shit I'll never buy myself but makes a good gift. A good VTT will also help and I know they're working on that, but software devs are expensive so that feels like more of a gamble. Especially if it only works DnD 5e while the others in the market can work with any game.

Actually I believe the movie did pretty badly. It was reviewed fairly well by critics and fans who actually went to go see it, but unfortunately it was squeezed between a couple of other popular IP's at the time (I think it was John Wick and the Mario movie). But hopefully it helped them with streaming or something.

I think I ended up watching it on Paramount+ in the hopes that it'll encourage them to make more in the future. Plus it was wholesome enough I thought it might be able to go into my comfort movie rotation with Princess Bride and Stardust. (Although now that I think about it, I should just buy a physical copy.)

And plenty of home owning people trash their homes, too. I think it's just how some people are with their shelter ¯(ツ)/¯ . Check out the show Hoarders, for example.

Meanwhile, plenty of renters take care of their place because it's where they live. I take care of my rented apartment more than my fucking landlord does, and he supposedly owns it. It's supposed to be his only job to call people to fix things when I bring it up or point out an issue while it's still small, yet it still is a coin toss whether someone will show up or not. I don't think the categories are so easily placed.

They've already been dying. There's basically been a war ongoing for decades, as they've slowly put the area under siege and taken territory and killed and imprisoned people. It's just the international community has ignored it.

How did they push it into civilian centers? They aimed for a military base. I don't know why Israel allowed a music festival right next to there. It's more like Israel has been pushing civilian centers into them as they slowly but steadily take territory and put their own settlers on Palestinian land.

I don't think this was a good option. You're putting words in my mouth and I don't appreciate that. I really think Hamas fucked up with October 7th. What I think is that Hamas probably won't exchange their hostages, whichever ones they have left that haven't starved to death or died from Israeli bombs, because it's their only bargaining chip now.

You think this started on October 7th? What about the years beforehand of deaths? Do you need someone to bring out the chart again comparing civilian deaths for the last few decades?

Osama Bin Laden wasn't assassinated in a hospital bed by soldiers wearing civilian clothes. It's a literal textbook case of a war crime, as in someone earlier brought up a document of examples of War crimes and wearing civilian clothes was in there lol.

Holding the hostages is leverage. There's no proof their raping, they might be they might not be. Terrorists aren't the greatest of people obviously. But we're talking real politick, as in from their point of view, what's the best thing to do to achieve their political aims, not what's morally right. No one is defending Hamas, we're just saying we could say why they wouldn't want to release the hostages because then they have nothing to bargain with, and Israel will continue to kill Palestinians, oppress Gaza, and take West Bank settlements as they have for the last 70 years. They've even said their terms, they want a ceasefire.

Your reply is nonsensical with that context. It's like your brain is so warped by rage and Zionist propaganda that you can't imagine anything from anyone else's point of view. Holding hostages is leverage whether you like it or not, because as long as their alive, people want to see their family members back.

Hamas wouldn't go through all the trouble to capture them if they weren't willing to free them for a deal. They're not excusing it, just explaining why militarily it would be dumb for Hamas to let go of their only leverage without a better deal. They let go of a bunch and it only led to a couple days before the massacre began again and Israel basically recaptured about the same amount of people they exchanged. When is the next chance they'll get to have hostages for negotiation again? October 7th was an unprecedented attack that probably won't happen again for a long time.

Not more effective at letting them kill all the Palestinians which some of them have already admitted is what they want.

But that small excerpt is so depressing =(

State owned public housing has worked all around the world. Council houses in the UK for example looked good and helped lots of people get houses, and didn't really get associated with poor people until Thatcher and her shitty policies. In Finland, like a third of their housing is public housing and they've managed to essentially eliminate homelessness this way.

Meanwhile, the United States, the UK, Canada, Australia, and Japan have chosen to suspend or reconsider their funding to UNRWA.

This is about the investigation into the UNRWA people who may have helped Hamas.

I thought Vietnam claimed that credit.

None of that will help until they stop oppressing Palestinians. You can't security or military solution your way out of making enemies out of an entire population. Even lots of Israelis realize that Netanyahu's solution isn't working, they need to work on a diplomatic solution, one state or two state, something.

Oh weird. Should I reinstall my app or something?

Personally I am missing Scaled sort, a new sorting options for instances on 0.19 that I don't think Sync has but some other apps like Thunder and Voyager do. But other than that, I still like Sync.

Texas might be the one red state that's not true for. They make a lot of money, it helps that they have oil.
