Yeah, and Israel can’t pretend they aren’t choosing to bomb hospitals. It’s almost never “Oops we didn’t intend to do that”, it’s “Well there was a Hamas bunker under that. They were using those playing children as sandbags, we simply had to blast through them!”
I’ll be honest, I’d rather the best engineers be there to create weapons that are extremely precise. The weapons are gonna be made regardless, but I’ve seen photos of what happens to cities when bombers are dropping unguided munitions. Back during WW2, if you wanted to hit a factory in London, you didn’t just drop 1-2 bombs, you dropped hundreds of bombs, you flattened absolutely everything in the area because that was the only way you were gonna hit your target.
At least with precision munitions, if you’re doing war ‘nicely’, you only hit what you intend to hit, not your target + everything else even remotely close to said target. With precision munitions, you can’t ‘accidentally’ bomb a hospital, so when you inevitably do bomb a hospital, you don’t get to go “Oh oops no it’s not my fault it’s the bombs’ fault!”. The sights are crystal clear, the plane/drone moves exactly where you want it to, there’s nothing interfering with the guidance, the bomb locked onto the target you wanted to hit, and you dropped it, all thanks to engineers making those systems. You had everything going for you as a bomber to know exactly what that target was, and you dropped the bomb anyway.
Last time I went to Warhammer World in Nottingham, I left with £120 worth of Lord of the Rings Miniatures, all because the guy in the store told me all about Glorfindel and how cool he was. I didn’t even buy Glorfindel! This was £120 worth in 2005, mind, so that’s about £214 today.
The only retail workers I’ve seen that appear to be enjoying themselves are people working in Games Workshop. If you express even the slightest interest in Warhammer, they’ll be talking to you for an hour gushing about lore, and it’s a remarkably good sales tactic because I’ve only ever talked with a GW employee once without buying something.
Is there a third option where it’s like “Nobody’s really been planning anything for centuries and everything’s just continuing and everyone knows there ought to be something different but nobody can agree on what that thing ought to be”?
I would say ‘no’ on principle. No child of mine will EVER receive virtual currency as a present for Christmas. I would sooner buy them £120 worth of games than even £5 in Robux.
Fetuses don’t pay taxes either and yet the GOP are really interested in making sure they have rights.
Under that argument you could grind up the dead and use them for fertilizer. I guess if you’re being 100% practical it makes sense, but humans have a certain sentimentality for their loved ones, dead or otherwise, and so don’t tend to like it when you use the corpses in a way contrary to the wishes of the estate.

How do you force people to give according to their ability? What if they don’t want to?
It does when you’re collecting multiple retro consoles, all their cables, any adapters you need for modern TVs. I’ve had to make do with a Series S in dev mode running Retroarch for my retro gaming needs, and even then I can’t get it to use anything other than an Xbox controller.
It’s times like this I wish I had a bigger house. There’s so much of this old tech I just want, or at least I want to see and hold them. Basically I want a hands-on retro gaming museum.
I would have thought a 10 would be “Kill me, right now. I am in so much pain I would much rather be dead than spend another minute like this” and anything below that depends on where the pain is, like if it’s your arm I would consider a 9 to be “This hurts so much you can get out the hacksaw and chop off my arm because at least then the pain will be gone”.
So… Not so much “How much does it hurt?” as “How far are you willing to go to stop it hurting?”

Does the hand gesture mean anything?
It’s a reference to Chappelle Show about how Rick James disrespected Charlie Murphy by getting his muddy boots on his white suede couch, and Rick James is like “Fuck yo couch! You’re rich, buy another one! Fuck yo couch!” while spreading mud on the couch. It’s about disrespecting you, but also dismissing complaints rather than actually admit you did anything wrong.
Then explain it! What does 6-7 mean? Because even though people might use it wrong, “Fuck your couch” actually means something.
How the hell do you fuck up the task manager, an application that hasn’t needed to be touched in decades? At best, you stick a new skin over it to match the aesthetic. The core functionality of the task manager should have remained untouched going back to… What, Windows 3.0?
Absolutely not, there’d be some TikTok influencer that would be like “Broooo you can get land so cheap!” and buy it all and sell it for massive profit.
Remember that the Salvation Army behaves differently depending on the nation they’re in. The US Salvation Army has different policies to the British one, which has different policies to the Australian one.
