I guess the graduation ceremony is coming up or something. At least that’s the excuse I heard.

The difference is that Iran was doing the funding while Netanyahu was facilitating it. The comment above criticized Iran for funding terrorists, and you said that by that token Israel should lose their nukes for funding Hamas, but it was Iran who was doing the funding.

I agree that what Israel did was fucked up, and absolutely no way for a nuclear power to behave. But it seems relevant to the conversation that the government writing the checks was Iran.

So you are saying Iran funds Hamas?

I thought Iran’s support for Hamas was widely acknowledged.

My understanding is that Netanyahu allowed for funding from foreign nations to reach Hamas, but the money was largely coming from Iran. Did Israel directly fund Hamas?

Only dual boot two Linux partitions. Dual booting windows is a waste of disk space, and liable to fuck with your bootloader every update.

What’s the difference between that and being demisexual? I identify as demi, but now I’m wondering if I misunderstood something, because I relate to what you said.

Exactly what part of that is eugenics? Deciding not to have kids, or recognizing the environmental impact of the choice?

It’s not like this is coming out of nowhere, there’s some pretty compelling reasons to be concerned about forced labor in the Temu supply chain.

Thank you.

Reading it over, I can see that scenario would have involved continued fire bombing campaigns, which had already killed over 300,000 people and left over 8 million homeless. It also suggests that many of Japan’s 2 million troops and thousands of planes would have been destroyed before surrender.

It says the vast majority of people surveyed in Japan at the time were willing to continue fighting the war, and the political structure made surrender particularly unlikely.

What do you think the US should have done in 1945?

Where is that in the document? I tried to find it but it’s long and I couldn’t spot it. Weren’t the bombs dropped in August '45?
