Israel are not innocent. People need to stop assuming they're just innocent victims defending their so-called homeland. They ripped apart a community and slaughtered many against the wishes of 6 Islamic cultures/nations/peoples to declare that as their homeland, with assistance from US and UK. They have since killed many, minors included and not always in retaliation AT ALL. I can positively tell you they had no fucking genuine reason to kill and make homeless the recent Palestinians they have so far other than sheer arrogance and abuse of power over what was never their capital (Jerusalem) until Trump stuck his nose in to say 'fuck you' to Palestine and Iran.
You also should not for a single second think Israel is the only aggressor and issue at hand. Hamas are legally in charge of the Palestinians by brutal Mafia means of control. They throw PLO leaders off buildings if they don't cower to Hamas and are recruiting, brainwashing and blackmailing any detractors which includes teens and even young boys as well as pregnant women. Stop thinking when IDF sometimes do things it's never in proper defence. If you knew what Hamas does in terms of human shields and child/teen soldiers are and investigate most (not all, most) instances of IDF harming it's in retaliation and defensive maneuvers.
Hamas explicitly state they will never negotiate with nor recognise the existence of Israel as a state (as PLO used to say themselves but got blackmailed to stay true to when they considered alternatives).
Now, we have an ultra-conservative ruthless Netanyahu who also won't negotiate. This is getting worse and worse from both sides.

I mean if you're gonna like mediocre rap, I don't see how Lil Nas X is too be or too good, he's just 'meh'.
If I were into lyrically mediocre rap I'd dig gucci mane, future, gunna, lil baby, uzi vert etc
Nas X... Idk...

Please all three answer this article with your take on it if you want. I'll only post this once to avoid spam, link to my post here with the orange number in the top right (right click it and copy link address) if you want.
I am not that pro-trans that I'd support this athlete's medal, I will say this now and officially. To me that is a direct interference between feminism and trans-rights and I will side with feminism there out of fairness and bigger picture issue.

Do you identify as a right-wing pragmatist, is that the correct way to sum up your position?
Do you feel your sexuality (which I presume is still homosexual) has caused you issues both with family and with your personal political outlook, religion etc?

I listen to EDM, especially Trap EDM that is literally my fucking genre of pure love. the pop music I like is either blues stuff or Trap EDM stuff usually (sometimes soft indie stuff but that's usually blues vibe as well).
These are some of my alltime fave jams:
These all incorporate many trap EDM elements

You are the one threatening women with assault. Imagine doing this with a hijab on a Muslim woman. You will know real backlash then.

Haven't watched enough, really began to bore me in season 2. I kind of rooted for the protagonist yeah but it wasn't my type of thing. Everyone is an asshole in that series, there is nobody to root for.

If you said that to my mother in front of me, I'd go to the fucking store staff and be willing to let you rip it off just to report you to the cops for genuine assault not just threat. Who the fuck do you think you are threatening a woman to assault her as some fucking joke then preaching about your first admendment right?

If there is a true physical war between MAGA and MADA I would rip my own MADA mask off my face and spit because that is the real assault.
^ this is speaking in hyperbole, we are not in a physical war please consider this for legal and sanity-based reasons.
The mask protects you from her spittle, you imbecile.

Not really, I blocked you for a reason and you didn't even apologise.
This entire thread is toxic as fuck but it wasn't me who reported it.
Your thread is essentially saying that the purpose of EDM is to not be dancable or listenable and torture and tease the listener and that only those who endure shitty overly long buildups are 'real EDM fans'.

Firstly Trap EDM is Trap EDM, Trap music is a form of rap that largely is what people call mumble rap (gucci mane is a pioneer of trap).
If you mean Trap EDM, the answer is maybe. In my experience hardstyle and dubstep are far worse than trap and have even less delayed gratification but other styles like techno and chill lo-fi are slower paced.

If it is neither, then what is it? Please inform me on the apparent third option
Well it depends on the situation lol. Mostly Utilitarianism will be a general framework. Regardless, an act is never good because God ordered it nor is God ordering because it's good.
God has many more motives and intelligent reasons to order us to do whatever, than simply it being good (even if the Abrahamic god were real, this is true). Conversely, the act isn't ever good due to God ordering it, that is logically incoherent. If that's what 'good' is then all acts god doesn't order are evil or neutral, none can be good.

In Money Heist, I rooted against the Heisters early on. I was an enigma viewer because I loved the character Arturo that everyone hates apparently. I really loved his badass and ruthless stance but as things progress across Seasons 3 and 4, I changed and began to root more for the protagonist(s) and definitely don't love Arturo anymore (he does something unforgivable).

In Peaky Blinders, I rooted for Thomas Shelby in Seasons 1 and 2 but eventually found him despicable and someone I badly want to see lose and suffer as things progressed and are still progressing (series isn't over).

In series, as opposed to movies, I am almodt guaranteed to root against the protagonist and for a supporting character or even antivillain type.
One of the only series where I found truly that I related to and rooted for the protagonist was The Blacklist and Saul's spinoff series from Breaking Bad (Better Call Saul).

It depends on the movie.
In Harry Potter movies, I often found I put myself a lot more into Ron's shoes than Harry's in most scenes with both.
In a movie like Ip Man and subsequent iterations, I do heavily root for Ip Man.
In the Dark Knight I found extreme empathy and rooting for Bane despite expecting to root for Batman. I even related more to Catwoman than Batman, who (Batman) I think was acted quite poorly in that movie.

they can just make a new, anonymous account outside of the classroom
That violates site policy and can get all their accounts banned. It at minimum forces them to dox themselves to the site mods (and admin since the owner owns all PM and IP data).

Wrong. You're assuming noone does and if many classes encouraged this it would force those that do, not to be able to.
I am not assuming everyone does, I do know some will.

Sorry, I didn't see this thread.
Check out the entire Bavaria, it is exactly the vibe you describe without being hostile to tourists. It's also extremely unique in its history, it was originally its own nation but the Germanic people (then Prussians) and Bavarians saw a mutual benefit in uniting against the Austro-Hungarians and Bavaria didn't care to secede later on.

I don't. Imagine if you are in that class and typing anonymously here, you'd have to admit who you are to the mods, get your main account temp-banned and potentially expose yourself severely, not just to the mods themselves but others.

In the past, especially in colder climates, the answer is no.
At present, if you consider the vitamins and supplements we can either take or have knowledge to balance out the diet in other ways to compensate for the lack of meat, milk+eggs and fish, you are wrong. (the answer is yes now).
If the excuse isn't nutrition but that you like the taste or that your parents insist on it and you don't want to be alienated at family events or in daily life if you live with them then that's your burden to bear (or mine or anyone's who says it). Don't make false excuses.

Doesn't it say hero and not knight?
Regardless the main heroine is a female, that is true, so I wonder why he refers to her essentially as the sidekick to the hero though.

How can you swap the roles when the Hero is by definition meant to be in the role of the one doing the rescuing?

Chess is more difficult to get medium-good at but poker is nearly impossible to be perfectly good at whereas in Chess that's at least theoretically attainable.
Poker is an artform as much as it is a science, Chess is 98% science and logic, 2% art and creativity.

@TheUnderdog
In african capitalist nations the core government's cops are largely a very basic and corrupt bunch of bribe-hungry, blackmail-happy guys.
This is not racism, it of course happened everywhere and still happens in nations that aren't properly developed against blatant corruption (as opposed to subtle corruption which no nation is fully immune to).
The reason I want to focus on nations like Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia etc is because what you need to then know is these nations basically are your utopia gone wrong, since you're a severe right-wing Lib-sided individual (notice I stated Kenya, not its neighbouring Uganda or Tanzania which aren't Liberal in comparison).
What happens when your core cops are like that and you embrace, rather thab resist it, is over time everyone that can afford it hires private security workers as their personal cops. You may ask 'but what about arrests and court cases'... You're just getting shot or scared off most of the time by the private cops, however the sheer irony is that the public cops work based on greed. You literally will be treated worse even in the car itself on the way to the jail solely depending on the money you can give them (but if you're local, black and look dirt poor they tend to realise you can't afford to bribe them and are a local so they tend to have sympathy only in those cases).
You need to grasp that in these nations and even the more conservative ones around them, you have a situation where a door can be unlocked and you're let free if you grease the right palms whereas you can be arrested for doing nothing wrong if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time if you refuse to pay them off. This isn't some joke, this is the natural resukt of being wilfully lax on cop culture in a nation and underfunding the department paying them shitty wages, they literally NEED BRIBES to feed their families and afford a roof over their heads.

How are you lumping in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore together? Those three nations are all different to each other (Thailand is least like the other two has a very unique culture and political landscape).

For example, a country like singapore has no common ground with the rest of the western world.
Actually Singapore is one of the closest Asian nations to Western culture, only Japan and South Korea are closer I would say.
That aside, PC is political correctness and Asia and the Middle East enforce it with ferocity, that is for sure.
Say something politically incorrect for their conformed opinions and views and you're done, fired overnight and branded a worthless scumbag, even your own family will turn on you at times.
You think I don't know? I do know. The only things that change are what are and aren't politically correct, there is political correctness everywhere but don't for a single second think the western world is most ridiculous with it, they are in fact the most merciful with it at present.
