What about outer seaters with priority boarding? I guess they get screwed?

What's the point of boarding first if you're not sitting next to the window?
Noone with priority boarding buys the middle seat unless they're with family, so it doesn't really matter, either.

I always board last when I'm on short flights (3h and under), since I always get the aisle seat due to my height.

I just yolo'd it and parked perfectly, most drivers with decades of experience wouldn't have done it that fast.

I failed because the spot they asked me to park in was marked with yellow lines, which means it's reserved and I couldn't park there.

I told them to fuck off and just got out of the car, walked home, lmao.

I'd say that Israel is civilized (towards the West) evil, while Palestine has been turned into caged animals which never ends well.

Lose-lose situation, no matter how you put it. There's no short summary or explanation.
Basically Hamas and other terrorist groups gave Palestinians such bad reputation that noone from the neighbourhood wants to do anything with them, while Israeli are treating them like animals and now committing genocide with US backing.

Played it for the first time last year. One of those games that's worth investing a solid amount of hours into, but I don't think I'll ever play it again.

Story, character development, acting, atmosphere, world immersion, little things they did for realism are all amazing, but the gameplay (gunplay) itself is straight from 2005 and gets boring really fast.

The game is as realistic as it gets in every other aspect, but then when it comes to actual gameplay, you gun down dozens of people in every mission. Kind of silly.

The crazy thing is that people actually believe in the 1948 logic of "well it happened so we need to take it back".

Do they even realize how ridiculous the world would be if everyone followed that mantra? France would be trying to take over all of Europe. Australia and Oceania would be at war with the UK and US. Indigenous peoples would be taking over all of the Americas. Italy and Greece would be taking over the whole eastern hemisphere.

The world would be chaos. I hate to use the phrase "get over it" but it fucking applies at this point. What happened was disgusting. There should have been justice. But we don't live in a just world. Those who should have been held accountable are long gone. Any attempt at righting those wrongs are just creating new and more dangerous wrongs.

But Israel knows that and are operating in bad faith. They don't "want the land back", they want the land, period. It's not about justice. It's about an ethnostate.

It's nuts how every single civilized country on the fucking planet understands this yet there are people from within their own borders that support the nonsense that is going on between the IDF and Hamas. It's insane. That being said, fuck Hamas and fuck the IDF.

More or less.

On top of this, the sad truth is that there will never be peace in multicultural territories that aren't rich enough to care about anything else (like for example Switzerland or Belgium).

Everywhere else it's going to keep happening as long as there are two or more sides with different views and cultures. It's just disgusting human nature and unavoidable.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see a good resolution in all of this. This can cool down a bit, but then it'll start over again. In a year, two, ten, twenty, doesn't matter. There's no long-term peace in the middle East.

Counter-Strike 2 is just a graphical upgrade.

Not just graphical, the game was build from scratch again on source 2, old version was apparently cancer to code because it wasn't even originally developed by Valve.

Name change is symbolic and honestly fits better.
2012 CSGO is way more different to 2023 CSGO than 2023 is to CS2.

On top of all the issues already mentioned, like awful standard of food these days and sedetary lifestyle, I'd say that the biggest issue is believe it or not - boredom.

When I'm fully immersed in my work projects or gaming, I literally forget to eat until I start feeling like I'm starving. Not to mention if I'm outside all day.

But whenever I'm sitting at home with nothing to do other than browse around or watch TV, I get the urge to eat something. Even if I just ate like an hour ago. It's just boredom.

Thats absolute bullshit. Ive gone through a lot of shoes in my lifetime, and some last better than others, but I average about 25-30k steps a day and if Im wearing a pair regularly, theres not a shoe on the planet that would last two years without breaking down.

I dont skimp on shoes. I have some pretty high end pairs. If you think they last that long I just dont believe that you dont live a significantly more sedantry lifestyle.

I've got a pair of football (soccer, ugh) shoes that most definitely have 500 hours of play on them. Wear and tear, but they still support the foot like they're intended to. Others fell apart after like 100h.

From my experience, the more basic and lighter the sneaker, the longer it lasts. I'm referring to daily models here. Anything complex falls apart fairly soon.

Adidas has way more durability than Nike, at least the models I had.
And obviously quality leather lasts way longer than suade and canvas.

Also, climate where I live is as mild as it gets, if that means anything. As in no snow, ice, mud, whatever.
