Man I hate these fucking headlines. The race is insanely close and news headlines like this aren't helping that. It just helps reinforce Trump's narrative that media outlets are irrationally out to smear him.

KDE bricked my install on my main desktop after updating to the latest LTS too. No idea how that happens. I'm on opensuse leap now.

I think the other person was just pointing out that the current conflict between Israel and Palestine is a modern creation and is primarily caused by western imperialism and a failure to hold Israel accountable.

My brother in law does this. Gets so close that you can't see the rear tires of the car ahead, going 80+ mph. He's been in multiple wrecks, including one where he totaled his custom BMW and almost died. He blamed the other driver (somewhat reasonably, they were drunk, but he was driving like a psycho), and refuses to change any of his driving habits.
He also used to street race in Florida, with his family in the car. No, they did not consent to it, they're just too scared of him to say anything.

No, it's pretty uncontroversial that imperialism was one of the goals of Israel as a project, even from its founding.
Edit: This is getting downvoted a bit so let me evidence this.
After WW1 the League of Nations formalized British control over Palestine. This mandate facilitated Jewish immigration and settlement, which furthered Britain's interests in the area and improved their relations with Jewish communities. The establishment of Israel led to significant displacement and conflict for the Palestinian Arab population, which was largely ignored by Western powers at the time.
In other words, Britain exerted their power over a foreign nation through expansionism, which is the literal dictionary definition of imperialism.
So yes, imperialism unquestionably played a role in the establishment of Israel. Whether that was a convenient by-product or a driving motivator is a matter of perspective, but it's foolish to say it didn't play a part.

You need 2/3rds majority to pass the constitutional amendment required to make this happen, so as long as Republicans exist this isn't going to ever be the case. It means they'll never win another election.

I think the penguins would learn to just swim away, and the bears would starve since they would need to expend a lot of effort for a small bird versus the calorie-dense seals they're used to.

It's an AI image. There's a lot of impossible patterns and geometry here. Look at the floor under the rock and the pattern on the bedsheets lol. Also the ceiling is curving and the rock would be clipping into the wall from this perspective.

Something similar happened to me. When I was walking home from high school I found a quarter on the ground. I was craving potato salad so I went to a deli and asked them for a quarter's worth of it (they sold by weight). The guy at the counter looked really pensive and then was like "you know what, take it for free". He definitely thought I was a homeless teenager. I lived a block away and had for over a decade, and I went there all the time. Super awkward.

I enjoy pvp games that I'm talented at. If I'm not good at something I tend to get down when I keep losing. Pvp is just really hard and bottles that feeling of helplessness.

Production can be cut, without lowering pay for most workers
Companies have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders, so unless you're running a co-op or we transition to a socialist economic structure then this will likely never happen sadly. That huge gap between production and wages is what fuels our current economic paradigm. The system just needs to be rewritten.

Hi-Rez try to make a correct management decision challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
I'm procrastinating at work and installing random packages with CLI that are just fun to mess with. Recently I've been looking up all my co-workers with [Sherlock](https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock), just for fun. Does anyone else have CLI stuff that they like to screw with when they're bored?
I took this at Muskallonge State Park in Michigan. It's the only place within a few hundred miles of my house that's Bortle class 1, meaning zero light pollution. It was fantastic and I absolutely want to go back sometime.
Thinking about this because of a greentext I saw earlier complaining about OF models. It feels like a lot of the stigma surrounding sex work in the modern day (that doesn't just boil down to misogyny/gender norms/religion) is based on the fact that selling intimate aspects of one's self places a set value on something that many see as sacred; something that shouldn't have monetary value. Not to say anything about the economic validity of a society without currency, but I think that, hypothetically, if that were to exist, sex work would be less stigmatized since this would no longer be a factor. Those engaged in sex work would be more likely to be seen as doing it because it's something they are good at/enjoy, and less because it's an "easy" way to make money, as some think. It would also eliminate the fear of placing set value on social, non sex-work related intimacy (not that those fears were well-founded to begin with).
Obviously there's the stuff around Gaslight village, but is there anything especially interesting to do besides the stuff around that area? Even around the EGR area, maybe not properly inside it?
Found this in the middle of nowhere in Kentucky on a road trip.
I've been having pre-carpal tunnel symptoms lately and I really want to switch to a vertical mouse, but I've heard from a lot of people that they just don't have the same sensory quality that you get with a traditional mid-high end gaming mouse. This would be an issue for me since constantly do quick flicks and don't think I can just tollerate an inferior sensor. Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing, and if so do you have any good recommendations?
