Right…but what does that have to do with abandoning principles?

My point is that there is no uniform set of principles, and that crude forms of justice might not inherently conflict with their principles.

abandon all their principles

Strict gun control is more of a liberal ideology and Lemmy leans pretty far left.

Nah, you still end up paying state and local taxes. Income/revenue is different than profit.

Plus, being a non profit allows for people like Jack to utilize donations as tax deductions.

I feel like nonprofit should come with default quotations nowadays. At this point it’s just a way to avoid taxation during development until you have a feasible route to profitability.

Pretty sure that is Tarlov, Danna Perino the only other woman host is sitting directly to the left of Gutfeld.

Lol, the fucking lady who threw out the “Nazi please” is supposed to be the resident liberal… Jessica Tarlov self-proclaimed democratic party strategist. Though it looks like her only real credentials in politics was helping Boris Johnson’s mayoral campaign in 08’?

Where does Fox News find these people?

Idk, if it wasn’t religion it’d be something else. Religion is a great tool to control populations, but it’s just one of many. Most human conflicts have a materialistic basis to them and things like religion or nationality are just used as window dressing.

I’d say the most destructive force on the planet is usually just rich/powerful dudes beefing over turf.

Lol, right?

My dad was in the Air Force so we moved all over the place, but whenever we were stationed in the South in the 90’s I would often be the first Asian person to ever go to that school.

Doesn’t really mean a whole bunch if the “normal levels” of empathy are inadequate to create a humane society.

Most of the disposable e-cigarettes tested released markedly higher amounts of metals and metalloids into vapors than earlier, refillable vapes.

Yeah, seems to be an issue with a lack of commercial regulation than with the inherent technology itself. I am usually skeptical of any study toting cigarettes as the “safer” option, however this kinda keeps in pace with our society’s rapid devolution back to industrial age regulatory standards.

Industry’s regulatory and judicial capture seems to rear it ugly head once again at the expense of the public’s health.

i always assumed they were around much longer than that! /s

Not even a joke, but orthodox Judaism is an invention of modern times, and ultra orthodox Judaism didn’t come about until the early 1900’s and was popularized until after WW2.

Orthodox Judaism is only a couple hundred years let alone a couple thousand. It’s a modern practice and it’s ultra orthodox subsect is barely older than scientology.

There’s really no longer any kind of gatekeeping preventing people from just being a clown. The proof is in the pudding, you are a clown if you can do all the things a professional clown can do. Now turning it into a career you can pay rent with is the real challenging aspect, which is true of most performing arts.

My wife is in a professional dance company that focuses on aerial dance, and has performed around professional clowns in the past. If you want to just busk you don’t need anything but skills, but if you want to perform on stage or tour you will need to hook up with some kind of performing arts company or an artist co-op.

Same

The Iran situation only ended because America got involved.

Call me pessimistic but I don’t think the “Iran situation” is anywhere close to being over.

Israel was running out of air defenses and couldn’t establish air superiority over enough of Iran to stop Guerilla style launches

I don’t think air superiority was ever in question. If anything Israel might be running low on anti-air defense that currently allows them to strike without receiving any meaningful retribution.

When talking about achieving air superiority it usually refers to being able to provide combined arms air support for ground troops.

If the US ended support, Israel would have no choice but to capitulate and stop being a genocidal apartheid always picking fights in the region, or to activate the Samson option.

Maybe if it happens right now… but with trump in the White House I wouldn’t count on it. I think another three and a half years of support maybe enough to where they could mobilize to a wartime economy and commit it’s population to total war. Israel is currently trying to straddle a somewhat normal economy in the hopes they don’t spook the civilian population into unrest. But who knows how crazy they’re going to get in the next 3 years.

Scalia was the one holding Thomas back

That’s a scary thought…though judging by how disgusting Scalia was I think Thomas may just be doing all this in solidarity. Something a kin to pouring one out for the homies, but for the world’s worst people.

I mean, that’s a semantic dispute. Most genocides are perpetrated with the aims of seizing control over a territory or resource.

Pretty sure the real goal of Israel is to do enough damage so that even without the support of the US they can maintain control over the region.

With the recent attacks in Iran I’m not sure it will end even if America ends its support.

Man, I really thought the court would get slightly less insane and evil when Scalia died, but Thomas has just gotten wild with it. It’s like scalia’s ghost just left its body and decided to double bunk inside of Clarence.

Probably less of an issue with land and more of a symptom of heavily relying on a monoculture of non native insect for pollenation. European honey bees aren’t native to America and will be a lot more susceptible to something like mites compared to their more solitary native cousins.

To me this is less of an economic disaster for honey producers than it is an ecological one. All agricultural monocultures are going to face challenges as they become more established over time.
