Are you including everyone who lives in East Jerusalem? In Gush Etzion? Modi’in Illit?

There’s an awful lot of people you’d be saying it’s okay to murder.

No, this is the gunshot that was fired AFTER the end of Almost Christmas. The one Lotta caught on film, not the one Larry heard. Remember?

Good-bob. I hope we same place again very now.

Mass murder is not a moral OR effective tactic for accomplishing anything of value.

Yeah, I’m tired of arguments over whether this person or that group qualifies as “one of the good ones”. It’s just a way for people to bargain with their own hatred, to maintain it and still convince themselves it’s not bigotry.

“This is what you give me to work with/Well, honey, I've seen worse/We're gonna turn this sow's ear/Into a silk purse”

Or as I paraphrased it: “Did they send me a son when I asked for a daughter?”

You know, “Honor to Us All” might be the movie’s least popular song, but when I watched the movie last year for the first time since the theater? I REALLY dug how it acted as a mirror image to “I’ll Make a Man Out of You“.

To blame the objects of hatred for violence motivated by that hatred, and inflicted on others, is the essence of bigotry.

My biggest game purchase this year was The Hundred Line. It cost me $53.99, for 200 hours of content. The BLS’s calculator says that was the equivalent of $29.69 when the GameCube came out.

First question: HOW would he liquidate it? If Tesla's average daily trading volume is <100M shares, where does he find a buyer, or set of buyers, for 500M of them?

When the Nasdaq 100's P/E ratio is between 30 and 35, and even Nvidia's is only around 45? I can't read Tesla's ratio of around 320 as anything but hype.

You’ve spent a lot more time with these characters than I have. I’ll defer to your expertise.

Nasa would approve of the correction. And probably would’ve recommended it to Hata himself. While Tsukasa stood to the side with a smug “my husband is so cool” look on her face.

I like to call it “so-ing discord“.

Sounds like this is a dispute over this principle.

I’m sympathetic to both “Look, even though I hate Likud…” and “I shouldn’t have to say that I hate Likud.” They’re not contradictory.

Normally this is the point in the thread where I justify my existence by telling you that I hate this Israeli government, that I think war crimes definitely happened in Gaza, that I want self determination for the Palestinians, etc.

But you know what? I shouldn’t have to do that.

If I had to say what he values, I’d go with “domination“. I’m not sure there’s anything else.

(You could say “victory”, but I think he sees that as a subset.)

Hatred always demands more. The ratchet only goes one way.

Nessa kinda CAN’T be played by a paraplegic actress in the play, because of the scene where Elphaba enchants the shoes to let her walk (turning them ruby)… which IIRC leads Boq to decide he can leave her now. Which she takes badly — I think she grabs the grimoire and accidentally removes his heart?
December 15, 2025 at 10:07 PM
I haven’t seen For Good, but I take it the “Wicked Witch of the East” sequence plays out differently from the play?

Why the Bombings Mean That We Must Support My Politics
Many people will use this terrible tragedy as an excuse to put through a political agenda other than my own. To those I say, "Shame on you!"
