Remember goyim race mixing is great and if you don't like it you're a bigot, but only if it's in countries that aren't Israel.

Fuck off with this anti-semitic bullshit.

- The Israeli government is not the Jewish people; conflating the two only serves to benefit the Netanyahus of the world.
- Race mixing is fine and that belief has nothing to do with some imagined Jewish conspiracy.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jul/15/israel-turmoil-bill-allowing-jews-arabs-segregated

Israel is in the throes of political upheaval as the countrys ruling party seeks to pass legislation that could allow for Jewish-only communities, which critics have condemned as the end of a democratic state.

For the past half-decade, politicians have been wrangling over the details of the bill that holds constitution-like status and that Benjamin Netanyahu wants passed this month.

The proposed legislation would allow the state to authorise a community composed of people having the same faith and nationality to maintain the exclusive character of that community.

In its current state, the draft would also permit Jewish religious law to be implemented in certain cases and remove Arabic as an official language.

In the Israeli democracy, we will continue to protect the rights of both the individual and the group, this is guaranteed. But the majority have rights too, and the majority rules, the Israeli prime minister said this week.

A vote on the bill is expected next week, although a final draft has yet to be agreed on. The legislation has been compared to South African apartheid by Israeli parliamentarians, and several thousand Israelis protested in Tel Aviv on Saturday.

The Middle Eastern country sees itself as both a democratic and a Jewish state, saying its legal system protects the rights of Arabs, who make up more than a fifth of the population, and other minorities. However, the Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people bill would enshrine the countrys Jewish national and religious character into law.

Our main concern is that it is changing the nature of the state and it changes the balance of Israel as a nation state, said Amir Fuchs, the head of the defending democratic values programme at the Israel Democracy Institute. You can be a nation state and still be a democracy as long as you dont discriminate, said Fuchs. That the state is allowed to create villages that will separate on the basis of race or religion or nationality this is outrageous.

The purpose of the bill, he said, was to change the balance, to make us more of a nation state, more of a Jewish state, and less of a democracy. There is no other way to put it. And this is the biggest problem.

Netanyahu has lashed out at domestic and international critics, ordering the foreign ministry to reprimand the EU envoy Emanuele Giaufret after he was reported as saying the bill was discriminatory.

Both Israels attorney general and president, who holds a symbolic role, also opposed details of the bill. The president, Reuven Rivlin, said it would harm the Jewish people worldwide and even be used as a weapon by our enemies. The segregation clause, he said, could also allow towns that exclude Jews of Middle Eastern origin who have been historically sidelined or homosexuals.

Legislator Miki Zohar, from the prime ministers Likud party, said: Unfortunately, President Rivlin has lost it and had forgotten his DNA.

Many Israeli neighbourhoods and towns are already effectively segregated, with residents either vastly Jewish or Arab. In many places, it is tough for an Arab to move in, although segregation is not legal.

Writing in the progressive-leaning Haaretz newspaper, Mordechai Kremnitzer, from the faculty of law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said the bill would remove the mask so as to reveal the ugly face of ultranationalist Israel in all its repugnance.

The debate has also opened a rift with the Jewish diaspora, with fears among more liberal American Jewish groups that it would prioritise Orthodox communities over other denominations.

Elon has still done more in the fight against climate change than almost anyone else alive, particularly on the business/entrepreneurship side of things as opposed to the academic research side of things. We need both if we're going to tackle climate change successfully.

So I don't really care about this, because none of this changes that.

He donates to the GOP which works overtime to enable the people causing climate change.

So is this gonna lead to people defending pedos in the mainstream or to just distance being compared to a pedo?

To be clear, the reason Musk has for calling this guy a pedophile is that he lives in Thailand. That is it.

Like, you don't have to defend pedophiles to say "Elon Musk should not be calling one of the rescuers a pedophile, probably"

I haven't read the article, but that a bunch of reporters (I assume from that text that we're talking about a decent amount of fairly serious people) are chasing a rumor like this is newsworthy. HuffPo seems to be treating it with the appropriate amount of skepticism and remove, from that tweet at least.

The obvious parallel here is to the Michelle Obama "whitey tape," which was rumored during the 2008 campaign
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/campaigns/44834-roger-stone-claims-michelle-obama-whitey-video-will-soon-surface
https://www.nationalreview.com/the-campaign-spot/michelle-obama-tape-matter-enunciation-jim-geraghty/

Naturally, everything eats its own tail; the rumor likely began among Clinton supporters, if not her campaign, and one of the guys most responsible for spreading it more recently started a rumor that the Trump administration amplified
http://prospect.org/article/larry-johnsons-strange-trip
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/03/whitey-tape-blogger-was-one-source-of-uk-wiretap-claim.html

Press Secretary Sean Spicer, looking to bolster President Trumps baseless wiretap allegations against President Obama, promoted Fox News commentator Andrew Napolitanos report that Obama used a British intelligence agency to spy on Trump during last years presidential campaign.
...
So where did Fox News very talented legal mind come up with this White Houseboosted allegation? The New York Times and Politico report that one of the sources was former CIA analyst, blogger, and occasional Russia Today guest Larry C. Johnson, who infamously promoted the false rumor in 2008 that the GOP possessed a bombshell video in which former First Lady Michelle Obama had been recorded making disparaging remarks about white people also known as the infamous Whitey tape hoax. Napolitano apparently asked Johnson to speak with the Times on Friday, and Johnson explained to them that Napolitano had heard about the U.K. wiretap claim through an intermediary who had learned of it through sources in the U.S. intelligence community.

You might be interested in this book, in which the author posits that there's a sort of inverse relationship between a job's social value and how much one can expect to be paid for it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/150114331X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_PPRsBbQ8VDA14

In a perverse sort of way, he argues, society treats the obviously fulfilling, socially necessary jobs as being "their own reward", and therefore it would be gauche to expect good pay, too. Doctors are like the one exception to the rule.

If Trump and Pence go down and Dems win the house, I honestly think a special election is in order. A Democrat becoming president by default after a Republican is impeached seems perilously close to a coup.

Worth noting that there is no situation where Trump is impeached without Republicans voting for it

Expensive? So you're telling me to kill someone is like $100K+? I highly doubt a lethal injection costs that much. And we put animals down, we should do the same with people.

The appeals is what makes it so expensive.

And, let's be clear: calls to reduce or limit the appeals process are calls to execute more innocent people. That is the impact such policies would have.

What was the most recent conviction of a death row inmate that was overturned due to being innocent?

Per this list, 2014
https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/innocence-list-those-freed-death-row

There have been five such cases this decade. Given the nature of our legal system (you rightly noted how many cases take 30, 40 years to overturn), my hunch is that those are just a fraction of the people who have been wrongfully convicted of capital crimes in recent years.

I don't see the point of 'no save scum' when luck is such a factor, like you see all those memes of people's games imploding because they missed with a hitrate of 95%

Because RNG is a mechanic in the game, so it kind of defeats the challenge if you just save scum everything, unless you're just trying to go for 100% achievements.

The challenge for me is in figuring out the puzzle each mission poses. It's little different in my mind to restarting a Zelda dungeon after you die.

That said, I'll probably make an Ironman run at some point in part because loading times can be a pain

Save scumming is how I do it.

The key really is to only alert one group of enemies at a time whenever possible. If you trigger multiple groups in a turn, and have to deal with like 6 or 7 of them, you're in trouble. .

I will say, it's got a weird difficulty curve in that if you prolong the campaign to the point where you're carrying a squad full of corporals, you can plow through most missions. It's harder if you're going through story missions quickly.
