I think the per capita measurement of pollution for China is not really an apples to apples comparison to other first world nations as so much of their population lives in poverty.

I did that for my employees this year.

Pissed off I've client who wanted us to work on their project this week because it's when they are least busy.

When I demanded 20k to pay out my guys to make them miss their week off they backed down.

If anything, that supports the idea that the poll numbers should be even harder against the war than they are reported.

White supremacist settler-colonialist states has no legitimate concerns whatsoever.

So lets address this.

I'm guessing you are referring to the fact that Israel as a nation is less than a century old and has, as policy, granted citizenship to anyone of Jewish ancestry?

I do believe that the creation of Israel should have never happened. The creation of an ethnostate - especially an ethnostate tied so closely to a religion, was a mistake.

With that said, I don't think that has much bearing on the current situation. 80+ percent of Israeli citizens were born in Israel. They aren't new comers, for most this is their home and the only home they've ever known.

If your proposed solution is the forced dismantling of Israel and the forced relocation of it's people, then you are simply trading one genocide for another.

And if you were German in the 1940s, you'd see everybody to the east of Germany as dangerous "Jewish Bolshevists" that must be exterminated at every cost.

False equivalency. Eastern European Jews never stated their intention was to exterminate the German people and they never carried out acts of violence in furtherance of that goal.

This statement reads like you don't believe Israel has any kind of legitimate security concern in Hamas, which we both know is insane.

So your stance is Hamas' isn't an asshole?

Correct, the state passed a law allowing those cases where statue of limitations have been passed for criminal trails to still sue their attacker in civil court.

It's been suggested this was passed specifically to target Trump, but a good number of sexual assaults never go reported and I believe a few hundred cases have come from this law.

It has since expired, it was only valid for one year.

[-] Kepabar@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago

Yes we go by preponderance of evidence.

Essentially it's 'whoever you Believe more' in civil cases, which is significantly lower than 'beyond a reasonable doubt ' we use for criminal trials.

[-] Kepabar@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago

Nah, it's neither.

It's that while I do enjoy whatever it is, if it were to disappear because I'm ad blocking and won't sub then .. ohh well?

There are a select few groups I actually care about and I donate to them (like PBS).

Anything else will either find a way or die but I don't care which.

A link to the past is my top Zelda game for sure.

... Have you ever tried the randomizer for it? It will give you a rom where all the items are randomly distributed around the map, making you do the whole sequence out of order.

I will play though a random Rom one a year or so and it's a blast.

I do have a fear of something like this happening and do not let my cat into the room when I'm working for this reason though.

I could believe it.

Yes, an OEM license is not transferable from the hardware the OEM originally installed it on, even to a VM running on that hardware.
