Tell that to Israel, who is opening up a new hole with all their missile launches

I’m still using Nova as it’s so feature-rich. I’ve had 0 problems with it, but I had no idea people were dropping it. Also had no idea it for bought out either, so maybe it’s time to look into using another launcher instead…

I only hope it happens after Elon royally fucks over the Republicans endorsing that Fat Ugly Bill

I actually just looked it up. In certain states, this falls under the “Stand Your Ground” law.

Defense of Others: State law permits the use of force, including deadly force, to defend another person. Non-deadly force is justified when a person reasonably believes it is necessary to protect someone from imminent unlawful force. Deadly force is justified to prevent imminent death, great bodily harm, or a “forcible felony” to the other person. Examples of forcible felonies include murder, robbery, and aggravated assault.

Immunity from Prosecution: A key feature of the Stand Your Ground law is potential immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits if the use of force is found to be legally justified. A defendant can request a pretrial hearing to determine if their actions were justified, potentially leading to dismissal of the case. The prosecution must provide clear and convincing evidence that the force was not justified.

Important Considerations: The force used must be proportional to the threat. Stand Your Ground does not apply if the person was engaged in unlawful activity or provoked the attack. Immunity also generally does not apply when using force against a law enforcement officer performing their duties.

Meaning if you see a bunch of masked men trying to abduct someone and they aren’t identifying themselves as law enforcement, you can legally shoot them to defend the person being assaulted. You would also be immune from criminal prosecution for doing so.

You’d better be a great shot though. And you’d probably get killed. At minimum for sure you’re getting arrested (and probably disappeared). But you are legally in the clear. And the news would be ALL over it. I’d like the TACO administration compete against Republican-state laws.

Not only that, it makes zero sense.

If the rapture is real and God will ascend anyone true to the word, then by definition they would be sent straight to hell since they literally killed millions/billions of people.

I hope it never reaches Athens

Loss of biodiversity, climate change, more extreme weather events, ocean acidification, Gulfstream collapse, microplastics in literally everything, the rise of fascism, constant wars/oppression/genocides, everything being politicized and radicalized, capitalistic exploitation of consumers in every market, the mega-rich using their money to cause misery for profits, even more than I can think of right now.

Want more reasons why I don’t want to raise my children into the world we are heading towards?

One could argue that the Internet and how we are now so interconnected is the cause of a lot of these things, but I think the biggest reason for it all stems from a lack of compassion. Compassion for fellow humans, compassion for fellow living creatures, compassion for the planet at live on.

What do you call Israel tankies? 🤔

You know, I really don’t want to lump all Israelis together with their racist POS counterparts. But then I see this and I can’t help but think all Israelis are like this.

Amazing to think only a couple of generations ago, they were on the receiving end of hate like this.

PFOA was banned, but PFOS and other very-slightly-different forever chemicals are not banned, therefore get around those regulations due to that technicality. Also, the current US administration is looking into removing a lot of those regulations.

Its like “winning” a boat or car. Great, you have this thing you couldn’t afford. Now pay the taxes on it, that you can’t afford.

But also, we all know Trump doesn’t pay taxes.

“We must come together to do something about this.”

Kinda late for that now. You should’ve come together months ago to NOT elect Trump as your president. He didn’t lie to you. He told you EXACTLY what he was going to do.

I hope you enjoy what you voted for.

I think in some cases it’s driven by capitalism. Your business didn’t make you money forever? Failed. Your books stopped selling and you didn’t make millions from what you published? Failed. Your show was good for a couple of seasons, but outlived it’s hype? Failed

There are other scenarios line you mentioned, marriage or hobbies, that AREN’T about money. But the ones that involve profit follow that.

I hope it doesn’t, just because they’re trying to invent the wheel with their own Apple logo slapped onto it.

Pretty soon they’ll unveil their new Apple Connect modem or whatever. It’ll only connect to Apple Wi-Fi. Then after that, they’ll create their own Apple ISP, which will only work with Apple modems.

I hope I’m wrong, but I wouldn’t put it passed them.
