Out of curiosity, what have they destroyed that you liked?
I have a CapitalOne360 account that I guess was formerly ING and it's been fine.

Lawyers are generally forbidden in small claims court.
Yeah. AI, such a very hot buzzword right now. Never mind that it results in people having random numbers of sausage fingers. Picasso would be outraged at the theft of his techniques.
The finger thing is already a lot better--it certainly WAS the case that teeth, limbs, and fingers were dead give aways. It's already gotten much harder to identify and catch.
Change my mind
Yeah, who's still using ddwrt?
I'd love to tune out the airplane with one if it actually works as advertised.
FWIW, you will definitely need noise cancelling headphones as well.
There's supposedly a "travel mode" that deals with some of the bounce from cars or airplanes, but it remains to be seen how good that is.
$3,500 is the average rent in California? I don't think that's correct...
For comparison, I rent out a SFH _house_ I used to live in, in a popular city in the South, for ~$1,500/month.
I have extended this offer to everyone announcing the rapture: I give you 10% of your net worth right now. And I get your net worth an hour after the rapture.
Yes, there will be a contract, I'm not an idiot...
So, if the rapture never occurs, you never get anything...? Seems like a pretty good deal to me.
Given that she identifies as a makeup artist online (I'm assuming there is only one LauRen Ramlan), I'm inclined to agree with your take. Interesting project, regardless.
I'm not sure "redeeming" is quite the right, and I don't personally agree with everything Gay said (nor do I think she said everything particularly well), but, as the saying goes, I'll defend her right to say it. The question was a trap and Gay walked into. Nuance is lost when politicians set up traps.
Europeans and Americans have, traditionally, had very different views on "hate speech." I think we're much closer now than we were even 20 years ago.
I said something like this in another post, but for me, the bottom line is really:
A. Are Palestinians or others allowed to call for "intifada" or active fighting against Israel? This implies fighting and killing Israelis.
B. Are Israelis or others allowed to call for ongoing bombing and fighting in Gaza and the West Bank? This implies fighting and killing Palestinians.
I do not believe statement B can be allowed while statement A is banned.
If supports of Israeli can call for bombing Gaza, than supporters of Palestinians should be able to call for attacking Israel.
We've been a post-truth society forever, perhaps. The only difference is that previously, a relatively smaller cohort could more easily control the narrative (politicians, news media, etc). With the Internet and social media, this is much harder. It's certainly made society much less coherent.
I hope the fact that you literally can't show me one single thing I've said in this conversation that is not true would lead you to a moment of introspection. Should be easy to do, if you're correct.
It's easier just to resort to schoolyard insults. Freedom is hard, and freedom of speech is especially hard. Truth is even harder.
Happy to continue chatting if you have anything to add other than sticking your fingers in your ears and chanting Nazi.

Because Israel doesn't control the West Bank

Israel controls the West Bank. There are enclaves of Palestinian Authority control, but you cannot travel from one end of the West Bank to the other without encountering Israeli control. Israel regularly runs operations throughout and within these enclaves.
nor did it operate in Gaza (until a few months ago).
Israel controlled all land and sea borders around Gaza. Israel controlled trade in and out of Gaza. Israel destroyed the only airport facilities in Gaza and, through sanctions and control of trade, blocked construction of a new airport. Israel has run dozens of operations within Gaza in the last decade alone (if not more), predating the current war.
Well, ignoring that Stefanik is presupposing that advocacy for either intifada or usage of the statement ("from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free") means genocide (and I don't universally agree with that presupposition), Gay's continued answer is:
CLAUDINE GAY: When speech crosses into conduct that violates our policies, including policies against bullying, harassment or intimidation, we take action. And we have robust disciplinary processes that allow us to hold individuals accountable.
Which again brings me back to my core point. If even saying that Palestinians are allowed to fight back against Israel--Intifada--is genocidal and anti-Semitic, then we have failed as a society that even pretends to protect free speech.
Flip it on its head. Are Jewish students allowed to call for continued bombing in Gaza? That is literally and explicitly calling for the murder of Palestinians. Why is statement A ok but statement B is not?
Thanks to people like you, the term Nazi has been so denatured and trivialized that it's essentially the same as calling someone a meanie. It's pretty sad.
I stand by what I've said. If you can point to one single thing I've said that isn't true, I'm all ears.
