Also many kids hate school because they suffer bullying and peer pressure there. Having remote schooling completely eliminates that.

US schools seem to encourage bullying and other poor behavior. Having gone through multiple school systems, both me and immediate family, US schools are the worst, hands down.

Why don't the Tenants Collude ?

You mean unionize!? What kind of un-American socialist monster are you? That's just a horrible idea. Remember, unions are bad. They are when the little people get together and force terrible things to happen, like living wages and overtime pay. Those things destroy competition and economies. Entire companies have gone bust because people were paid overtime! Don't look that up! Don't you date look that up, just trust me that it happened! If you look it up you're a communist!

Industry bodies and trade associations are good. They aren't unions, never say they are! They are made up of rich people getting together forcing good things to happen, like driving up rent, forcing down pay, union busting and watering down laws protecting their victims...

There are no good guys. To attack only one side is to endorse the murder of children by the other.

However, one side commits 10 times the number of atrocities of the other side, and has almost all of the power. To condemn both sides equally is to effectively side with one over the other.

Speaking of the Win11 taskbar, by default it's also taller than the Win10 taskbar and (shocker!) there's no way to make it smaller like there was in Win10. This is code that the anti-customer fools at MS would've had to manually TAKE OUT so that we get a purposely crappier product.

People keep buying Macs, so MS has to keep producing half-assed copies of the Mac's UI to try and get people to switch. They don't care if it's less functional or makes things harder. That's irrelevant to the UI team working on Windows 11...

The problem is that civilian, having voted for and supported Hamas for 15 years, has volunteered their home as a weapons cache. I guess the other side should just throw up their and hands and run into the ocean then? Sheesh.

Saying that everything targeted is a valid military target is the lie that Israel is pushing. They are using AI to select targets but not vetting them properly, and killing dozens or hundreds on the suspicion that they are somehow affiliated with Hamas, or may be, or something that causes maximum damage: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.972mag.com%2Fisrael-....

When you don't care who you target, and you just want to mass murder Palestinian civilians, AI is a brilliant way to saying "the machine determined they are Hamas" without actually having any evidence that this is the case...

For all you know, and if IQ is a true measure, I may actually have a higher IQ than many of the scientists who do research and may be able to pick up their own cherry-picking of data on their papers.

The IQ is only part of it. The science, training and peer review is another part of it. There are too many smart engineers that think they know more than climate scientists because they picked up a bit of fluid dynamics along the way. Scientists rarely get the delusion that they can build a bridge, a high rise, a better electric motor or a car.

By your measure, we should just blindly accept whatever scientists throw at us just because their papers have been peer-reviewed, and that's not something I'm willing to accept, no matter who the source is.

No, you should just blindly accept what tens of thousands of scientists have produced over decades, which is peer reviewed research and publications. Because you're not a climate scientist, they are.

Honestly, this whole conversation is absurd. Do you attempt to review published papers on particle physics, genetics, chemistry and geology without any basis in study? Then why do you think you can overturn climate scientists' work and not any of the other subjects?

Our country nuked Japan, twice, in retaliation for their attack on one of our military bases. If American civilians had to deal with the regularly occurring bombings that the Israelis face, we'd have turned Palestine into glass.

Palestinians have to deal with Jewish supremacists whose first, last and only resort is violence and who very openly and clearly wanted ethnic cleansing before 10/7 and want genocide now. If American civilians had to deal with Israeli settlers invading and mass murdering non-Jews they would have nuked Israel.

What do you do if the big bully lives right underneath children's bedrooms? Under ordinary people's houses? In this case, there is no easy way to even identify who the bully is and who the ordinary person is.

You don't know where the bully is, so you would mass murder everyone? Without remorse or restraint?

Hamas is the terrorist organization in Gaza that launched the October 7th attack where they killed, raped and kidnapped Israelis.

Israel has been murdering, kidnapping and raping Palestinians for decades. There is evidence they raped kids, FFS. But Palestinians doing to Israelis what Israelis do to them horrifies you?

Hezbollah is a different terrorist organization in Lebanon, which statted launching rocket and drone attacks against Israel in solidarity with Hamas on October 8th.

It's kind of funny you wrote that because everyone knows Hezbollah launched attacks on a military base in Shebba Farms, a part of Lebanon that Israel continues to occupy. Your portraying it as a part of Israel is the problem - Israelis greed knows no borders.
