It's ok to criticize Israel. It's ok to praise Hamas. It's ok to praise Israel. It's ok to criticize Hamas.

There are positives and negatives to be found in all governments/terrorist organizations.

I've seen them for sale in the US before. They look gross.

The only interests that should really be raising red flags are vexillology and low-frequency chromatics.

I'm technically homeless now, but it's no big deal.

When KFC had the Double Down, it was them.

Now it's probably Popeyes.

Easily. My political views are in opposition to almost everyone anyway.

Center-right democrats are the most offended by it.

Yeah Perrin was my favorite of the three in the first book. Rand became my favorite in the second. And Mat was my favorite from book 3 on.

Why does TC only care about wolves lives but not cows lives

seems pretty specist tbh

Idaho has 1,500 wolves and 2,500,000 cattle.

So you're arguing that if wolves started killing people, there would be no justification to cull them?

Then the wolves are just culling the excess human population. They should be supported in their task.

I read both the NPR article and this Nat Geo article
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/idaho-bill-90-percent-of-wolves-to-be-killed

If there's anything missing why not explain what that might be? I have hundreds of bookmarks and videos saved, so why do I need to read 10 pages of legislative text? NPR and National Geographic are professional and reputable news organizations.

Ok I reviewed the Bill here.
https://legislature.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/sessioninfo/2021/legislation/S1211.pdf

I take it the issue is that there's no actual "90%" figure presented, making the headlines seem sensationalist to you?

You're right, but that isthe PRACTICAL CONSEQUENCSE of the Bill, because once it dips BELOW 150 wolves Federal Management kicks in, the Bill is actually technically WORSE because it really actually allows hunters and ranchers to kill ALL the wolves; the only reason that wouldn't actually be allowed is because of course Federal law supersedes State law.

I hate these small-d---ed hunters and ranchers. I have no problem hunting for food or hunting invasive species or population control, but trophy hunters, and punishing wolves for less than a couple hundred cattle killed out of millions, man F' all those guys. I hope Biden can somehow intervene...

Biden won't do anything about it. At most he'd be like Obama, who pledged to protect wild mustangs and then did nothing while his own Department of the Interior killed them by the thousands.

The Great Hunt > The Fires of Heaven > The Eye of the World > Shadow Rising > The Dragon Reborn > The Gathering Storm > Knife of Dreams > Lord of Chaos > Winter's Heart > A Crown of Swords > Crossroads of Twilight > Towers of Midnight > The Path of Daggers > A Memory of Light > New Spring

(Winter's Heart and up are the great ones)

Why or why not?

Reactions in the Cosmere topic have made me curious.

Interesting. Nightwish is one of my most liked bands.

Elantris is fine. It's not perfect, and most of his stuff is better, but it was still an enjoyable read. The only Sanderson books that are actually bad are Towers of Midnight and A Memory of Light.

I haven't played any of them.

I'm staying.

I read Warbreaker first, then Elantris, then Mistborn, and then Stormlight. That seemed to work pretty well.

I guess I must be the only person who doesn't consider "I fell asleep during it" an insult because I fall asleep during a lot of stuff.

I think the Fellowship of the Ring was the only time I actually fell asleep at a movie theater.

That had nothing to do with the film though and was just because I had been awake for over two days straight at the time.

The best character in Star Wars is R2-D2.

There's nothing wrong with this, and having a sign like that prominently displayed is in fact a very good thing. It would make sure I know not to go there.

Yes, someone broke the window and stole the cd player out of my car. The part that really annoyed me is that the door was unlocked, but they broke the window anyway.

I'll take some devilhair pasta and some angeled eggs.

Isn't IQ partially based on age? She's probably a genius compared to other 2 year olds but not compared to an adult

This is why I had a higher IQ in middle school than I do now.

this partly. the scene where Pilate wants to spare Jesus because he didn't seem to really deserve the punishment, but the crowd (of Jews) demands he be executed, even saying to release a murderer instead (Barabas?).

This is a lot more sensible than it might seem. For Barabbas to be called a murderer by Pilate, he must have killed a Roman citizen. This likely made him a hero to the Jews living under Roman rule.

Most people don't understand tax brackets.

Nope. People have to support each other against the evil pigs.

It sounds like I'm not missing much. I stopped watching after they cancelled Hartley Sawyer.

I actually can't imagine it. I could never be a billionaire. I'm not evil or selfish enough, and I'm one of the least materialistic people I know.

How old are you that you've had at least 36 jobs where this was the case?

I'm 40. I might be in triple digits for jobs that I've had. A lot of the ones applicable here are things where I'd go for a day or a week and then be like "this isn't going to work for me."

I've done that a few dozen times. It's no big deal.

This does happen. It's why there's a black market for human organs.

Even if innocent people die that you could save?

As well as property and homes

You mean innocent people that the government could save. It's not even much money at all for them.

One of my very favorites from my own childhood that I suspect would be confusing and meaningless to kids today:

Micro Adventure

Some more I like that haven't been mentioned yet:

TierZoo

The absolute best way is to go somewhere that language is spoken. I learned more Spanish spending two weeks in Spain then I did in four years of high school Spanish classes.

I would say to let loose an arrow, to shoot an arrow or fire an arrow.

And people online who say loosing are in no way referring to arrows. Its just a pet peeve of mine when I see people spell 'losing' wrong.

Firing an arrow does not have the same meaning as the other phrases mentioned. If you say to fire an arrow, it means to set the arrow on fire.

The Star Wars Holiday Special is a good Star Wars film.

Huh. I beat it as a kid and thought it was one of the easier games I had played.
