I hope broader international recognition of Palestine helps spur more recognition of Kurdistan.

That shit should be illegal.
I want to be a Camus but most days I’m a Cioran.
We put Kalashnikov on Sergey’s rowboat, Ukraine cowers before invincible Russian engineering!
That and it’s impossible say whether or not a given tool or object will never be used to do harm if wielded by the wrong entity.
Like, say you’re someone who makes free bricks. Someone uses the brick to build a house, great, that’s what it’s made for. Someone uses that brick to shatter a cop’s windshield, even better.
But someone can also use that brick to smash in the windows of a school, or even that the house built with the bricks you made is being lived in by a bad person.
No one makes bricks thinking “this could be a weapon, I am responsible for the harm it causes” because its primary purpose as building material is self-evident. It therefore has no inherent morality outside of what people you can’t control choose to do with what they have. All the brick maker wants to do is make the best bricks they can.
Weird, I am on Android as well and all I see is the ol’ X in a box.
Maybe it’s a Google phone only thing.
Agreed. The only redeeming thing I can give the writers credit for is that they gave him an amazing family life. Even though he is the office punching bag, he is much more fulfilled outside of work than any other character is. That, and he also does love his job.
I mean it could be better, though. Could do with fewer natural disasters, or perhaps another continent in the Pacific so it isn’t so empty. Or maybe burritos that grow on trees and a mild concentration of opium in the air. That’s the Earth I’d want to live on.
TBH I’d give earth a B or a C.
I feel like there must be a better planet out there somewhere.

They’re sold for scrap. Just gotta go to a scrapyard and say “There was something wrong with mine, I replaced it, here’s the old one I’m selling for scrap.”
That or extract the previous metals yourself and sell them directly.
I don’t mind questions being somewhat focused or topical. But the ones I don’t like are “Here is my long-winded opinion on x, what do you think?” or “Here’s a random article or other thing I found on the internet, thoughts?”
If it’s a post asking opinions on a recent event, that’s one thing. But I think the soapboxing should be limited. There’s more that a post should need to actually qualify as a discussion-fueling question than just the fact they ended a sentence with a question mark somewhere in their post.
Thoughts?
Some nicknames do a consonant shift for the first letter, like William > Will > Willy > Billy
Margaret > Meg > Meggy > Peggy
So is God powerless to stop people from committing evil?
I don’t know, why do Japanese schools have culture festivals? Is it not enough to say that some countries have different cultural norms and traditions?
You’ve basically touched on one of the core logical issues at play in Abrahamic religions (and others). God is omnipotent and omniscient, or people have free will. It can’t be both.
