Ah ok, cool 🙂

That’s where i cross posted from 😄

The IDF would declare it “Hamas tunnels” and use it as justification for blowing up a school and/or hospital.

A military statement said that a Hamas “command and control centre… was embedded inside” the school

Yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and doubt the fuck out of that…

Yes, just like the legal term for a predatory debt spiral disguised as a short term loan used to be “payday loan” (now called something else to avoid regulation imposed on the previous euphemism).

The more innocent-sounding but deceptive term that a predatory industry prefers doesn’t become correct just because they successfully bribe politicians to make it become/remain the official one.

Gambling, not gaming. Games are things you play for enjoyment, not things that you pour money into with the (almost always disappointed) hope that more money will come back to you.

Examples of games:

• Fallout New Vegas
• Settlers of Catan
• Twister
• Truth or Dare

NOT games:

• Roulette

• Blackjack

• Slot machines (whether physical or virtual)

• Predatory capitalism

Hybrids and edge cases:

• Any game with loot boxes and similar bullshit

• Poker, though it’s more akin to sports gambling than enjoyment with gambling.

• online dating

It’s heavily affected by the fact that I used to listen to After the Revolution to fall asleep (in a good way! It’s a great book and Robert Evans’ voice is soothing IMO), but here’s mine:

Fifth Element. With my eyes.

Not the NEWEST original movie I’ve watched, though. I’m not sure which one that is but I’m confident that I used my eyes for that as well.

I knew about the origin, but always thought it was called Hawaiian because of the combination of pineapple and ham, both of which are known as staples of modern Hawaiian food. TIL!

Actually, they call it “Michael”

“If you’re going shopping, could you pick up some Michael? We’re almost out, eh” – every single Canadian

Canada, I guess? 🤷

Still no notes

Actually, it was 4 casings, saying Delay, Deny, Depose, and Defend. Also, even if it wasn’t, “misinformation” is WAY too dramatic a term to use for making a common mistake about a word when that word is usually used to describe deliberately spreading disinformation.

Besides, speaking of misinformation, “the NYPD clarified” doesn’t hold a lot of weight without confirmation from a more trustworthy source.

Again: having standards isn’t the same as being unaware.

Nope. Just still insisting on words having meaning.

…it isn’t really demilitarized then, is it?

deploying forces

in the demilitarized zone.

There’s literally no rules that apply to America’s favorite ethnostate, is there? 🤦🤬

And here’s the perfect clip to celebrate the downfall of that murderous, mum-fearing asshole

You mean habitual liar Eric Adams? As quoted by the abominable tabloid the New York Compost?

Yeah, I’m gonna hold out for confirmation from someone not perpetually full of shit…

a big industry and a small community

Translation: many billions in the pockets of few people.

Deny. Defend. Depose.
