I think the material conditions in Iraq had a major impact on the ability of ISIS to recruit and spread their ideology.
I bring this up every time with someone who eats a panino for lunch!
What age are kids in 'pre-k'? I'm imagining like 3-4 years old? I wouldn't be surprised at that working with some kids that age. Not saying I think the story is true necessarily, but just that young kids are very trusting, don't always put together information they get in different settings, and don't really discuss weekend plans with each other much.
I feel like my comment in another thread is even more relevant here:
I have no direct knowledge about that, but if we take the analogy of the egg (shell, albumen and yolk sack) being the life-support system of the embryo during gestation, in humans the placenta would be a big part of that, and exactly whose body it is part of its not simple (from what I remember both mother and child contribute cells, and the 'plan' for building it comes from the father's genes). So maybe for chickens it could be ambiguous whether the shell 'belongs' to the laying generation or the hatching one. Seems like mostly a human taxonomy distinction to make anyway, obviously it's in between the two, but we like to draw the line somewhere.
2008 and the start of austerity was now close to 16 years ago. It went out of fashion everywhere else but we bloody stuck with it 💪🇬🇧
What do the spidery white lines joining the minimums represent?
I think we should try to answer this rather than just down voting. I think the difference is that conservative thinking led to the policy that led to the person being targeted, and possibly also to a climate of intolerance that made the attacker/s feel like they had the support of the community to do that. We're not really talking about who is too blame for this individual instance (obviously that's the person/s who manslaughtered this child). We're talking bigger picture.
When an immigrant commits a crime, I suppose you would argue that liberal thinking created the situation where that could happen, but I think it's a false equivalence. Big picture immigrants don't disproportionately commit crime, and there are major benefits that come with immigration. While trans people absolutely are disproportionately the victims of violence, and there are no real benefits to transphobic policies.
I guess I haven't done great at this, please other people build on this reply, it just felt wrong to see a fair enough question just being downvoted with no reply.
Oh, weird, I initially read the comment you're replying to as agreeing with your position. Like: 'we can't allow our side to hate, or casually joke about killing, those who disagree politically with us' But after reading your reply I can see it being meant either of two opposite ways.
I listened to an interesting podcast about something like this, it might have been on 'cautionary tales '. Apparently at one point some Soviet area tried organising everyone's days off in shifts instead of everyone taking Sunday off and factories lying idle. Basically tho you actually loose a lot of the social value of days off if you don't get them at the same time as other people. Can't visit your family or friends unless they have the same day off as you, for example. And what if your kid's school's day off isn't the same as yours?
For this one there's actually technology in development right now.
No, their population peaked in 94 at about 150M. They definitely have a serious population/demographic crisis. Arguably it's one of the reasons Putin decided now was the moment to escalate in Ukraine, before it's too late. Also why they're taking Ukrainian children.
To clarify to your question, what's inexpensive largely depends on what is already in your cupboards, but hitting those 4 areas will usually work out well.
