The purpose of the loopholes is to allow yourself to do the thing you want to do, without feeling bad about it. Since God is omniscient, then any "loophole" you find in the divine rules must therefore be put there with the express purpose of allowing you to do whatever you found the loophole for.

reasoningWhenever I see absurdly small amounts of revenue and a sector mostly dominated by fish/fishing. I just assume it's a small island either in the pacific or way south in the atlantic. I just got kind of lucky with this one, since I had just finished reading about Napoleon.

Doesn't Israel have a million different parties, and somehow all of them are fascist/far right?

Also despite having a million parties, Netanyahu somehow remains in power

In my part of Copenhagen, there are quite a lot of Teslas driving around, and I gotta say, it warms my heart to see just how diverse the bazinga-drivers have become in recent years. Most of them are of course pasty white nerds driving around staring at the big-ass ipad in the center-console, but more and more I begin to see the successful young professional class of immigrants/brown people also driving and staring at the big-ass ipad.

I don't think the insinuation that she is an intelligence asset is correct either, but the main idea I get from reading those tweets is the fact that she was never going to be a radical, or anyhing similar to it. She is just another face in a long line of would-be-reformers who got too invested into the system and just disappeared.

Wanna know something even dumber? Supposedly a large reason for the Royal Mail being in the shitter, is the fact that they can't really negotiate rates with the private companies they deliver parcels / packages for. So noted smol-bean Amazon Inc. gets to have all their shit in the UK delivered for litteral pennies.

Did the Sauds suddenly grow a small spine, or is this just about them not getting their flammable infrastructure struck by the Based Brigade?

One of the main reasons why I believe the Faroe Islands haven't decided to update their abortion laws for 50+ years is probably due to the fact that the islands lose a whole bunch of young people every year, since there isn't a university on any of the islands and people therefore have to move to Denmark if they want to pursue higher education. This has also caused quite a gender imbalance, as a lot of the traditional jobs on the faroe islands are in the fishing industry, which women have historically been barred from, leading to a bunch of men living in small hamlets and villages with very few women available for marriage/partnering. Since the men that had jobs on the sea stayed, and a lot of the women left, you don't really get the same cultural progressive-force you would typically have when your population becomes highly educated.

Somehow beheading a person is considered barbaric, but dropping a 2000 pound bomb on top of them so that their remains are scattered to the winds is "humane" and "not-involved"

Israel has always been a thorn in the side of Legalists in the State department who want to use international law as a cudgel against the global south. Nobody other than white Americans and Europeans believe that the rule of law is absolute. Though i will argue that Israel has given a hell of a lot of good press to the russians, just by virtue of Russia not being as bloodthirsty.

When my coworker was making a remark about Russia intentionally targetting hospitals, he looked so defeated when people pointed out that Israel has just made that the new norm, and our prime minister has been rabidly defending them in their "anti-terrorism" operations.

I mean, they also murdered him after the accords were signed, so I'd argue that makes an even bigger statement towards their intentions with the 2-state solution.
