They say Biden is still waiting to talk to Trump to this very day.

They feel like there is less crime, because they have bought into security theater.

To cause chaos. A nation arguing with itself will be less inclined to mess around internationally.

Sending things to both parties is more likely to cause chaos.

Looks like the read 1984 and learned the wrong lessons.

So does trying for exponential growth, or really selling anything at all.

Products can break, people are born and grow up an eventually need to buy that kind of thing. Some of it can break or wear out even if most of it last decades.

The problem is expecting never ending exponential growth because of the pressures of capitalism instead of finding a stable level of production and making that profitable. Especially with buy it for life products.

I thought ‘troubled’ meant suffering from external trouble, not troublemakers.

The suit is there to reduce fatalities and minimize injuries, not to avoid every poasible injury.

Sometimes there are situations where touch and feel is critical, although my understanding is that the preferred approach today is remote detonation where even the suit is away from the likely blast radius.

A two (or more) state solution is also a possible outcome. For example, Gaza and the West Bank could become Palestine as a separate country from Israel. There would need to be a massive change in borders for that to even possibly work out, but an independent Palestine is more likely to lead to eventual stability than mashing everyone together.

Yeah, leading with the important part so the reat of it has context seems to work a lot better for a lot more people in my experience. Especially in your example where you are trying to front load the thing to do followed by the thing not to do. That way they don’t jump to speculation halfway through the sentence :)

On a somewhat nonscientifically aupported personal observation, if the sentence structure has a ‘but’ in the middle the audience is very likely to start mentally guessing what is coming up and will have more trouble listening to what it being said. It can often sound like a rug pulling moment, where what they thought was true is suddenly switched up and most people don’t like that. So if thinking ahead it is better to reverse a sentence like in that example to avoid the middle ‘but’.

Which is different than Israel not existing.

You understand the difference, right?

Israel does not need to stop existing for the genocide to end or for the government officials to be tried for war crimes.

It isn’t like Italy needed to stop existing after WWII…

The continued existence of Israel does not require an ongoing genocide, so those are not in opposition.

If someone accused you of being pro-Trump and you said “I’m registered independent” do you think they’d be like ‘oh, nm carry on then’?

If they asked I would say ‘no’ instead of trying to dodge the question.

You asked about something specific, whether someone was ‘officially’ something and I answered the question. You asked a question that is apparently different than the thing you want to argue about, which is who they (currently?) support.

The mental gymnastics are just mind blowing with that crowd.

Negative Ghostrider, doggo comes first!

That they are a traitor to the nation and should be ashamed, but they are officially a Democrat because of their registration. That is why they get to vote in the primary, because registering makes it official no matter what the reason is.

I am not registered for any party, and the fact that I end up always voting for candidates of one party does NOT make me an official member of that party.
