Would have failed, too much complaining about the cold.

Sure, we could have put it in Germany, but that STILL would have required evicting people form their lands. The west is going to fuck over brown people instead of its own whenever it can help it. It still doesn’t get around the fact that the only place that all Jews share a connection to the area around Jerusalem, but…

As Sheldon said when trying to figure out the conflict, “If we put a wall in Mexico could you still wail at it?”

It’s impossible to say that South America wouldn’t have had similar issues with relocating native populations. Sure, you don’t have the same history of conflict (it would be brand new conflict!), but this is…

How can you call it a dim view? We’re regressing towards it in the US. It’s much worse in other parts of the world. This is the reality of things. You can’t just structure things based on how you would like the world to be, cause some asshole is going to come in an fuck it up. Do you leave your house and car unlocked…

I agree with you. Jews who want to live in their ancestral home should be able to live there free and peacefully. So should the Palestinians. So should displaced Kurds, Roma, Choctaw, Serbs, etc. We should fight to make this a reality for everyone. But it’s not a reality yet and we need to deal with the situation…

I mean that would have been deeply satisfying... especially since they put it basically in the only place MORE hostile on the planet.

I’m cool with this, although that means my sister is only a few hundred miles away again!

As someone who works in IT and has relatives who are in the DOE I can tell you their security protocols are woefully inadequate. So yeah I can definitely say it’s their fault. But also it’s near impossible to completely prevent access to a system that someone has physical access to.

I hope the law changes and she can sue her ex into oblivion and get the DOE to pay up too.

In the mean time though, fuck the system’s puritanical bullshit. Every one of you came from people fucking (except for the few that came from in vitro, but most of that is because fucking didn’t work). Your precious little kids…

The problem is where else do you put Israel? The Jews were a people without a home, not so much by choice but because they lost control of their ancestral home to the Romans and it basically got passed along through various empires and they never had an opportunity to reestablish themselves.

It’s really easy to look at…

Since things like “bridge-building,” bipartisanship, civility, and relationships mean jack shit to the GOP, tell me why we these supposed skills the old guard Dems have are relevant or necessary?

Step the fuck aside so some new ideas can actually rise up in your party and make people actually give a shit about the Dems…

Yeah, but he’s obviously too much of a bitch to for “hold me back” to be believable or to have boys.

I mean, that’s on you for not just telling her she smelled like bullshit and decay and then leaving the room.

As they say, the truth has a liberal bias.

I’d say most of the highly intelligent people I know end up somewhere around the center-left on the political spectrum. The far left has tons of dipshits there too. The difference is the dipshits on the left are advocating socialism, alternative medicine, putting jade eggs in…

The hand itself, I’ve personally seen happen at least half a dozen times.

It’s a sick way to bust the final table bubble though. Context is bigger here than anything.

Really loving all the 1/2 NL takes here, “Well if you have KK and two guys go all in before you, one of them definitely has aces.”

This is not how tournament poker works, and certainly not at these levels.

To quote Herm Edwards here, you play to win the game. Unless you have a stone cold read on the guy for Aces you…

For the knees in front of toes thing, its correct that it’s mostly fine, but also it’s something that depends on the form you are using. If you are doing low-bar squats, your back angle gets shallower and therefor how far in front of your toes your knees go is going to increase. Generally the more vertical your back…

I suggest some wd-40.

Seriously though mine pop every time I bend past a certain point and have since I was a kid. Generally my rule is if it’s new and it hurts, see a doctor. If not, it’s probably fine.

Another thing I’ve learned is there’s a lot of talk about engaging your core, but no one really talks about what that looks like. One of the best tips I got from the Athlean-X vids was to move your chest and hips at the same time. In order to do that, you’re going to have to bridge them by linking them together with…
