Whenever and wherever "settlers" are publicly lashing out with violence, the IDF is on standby to immediately destroy any Palestinian resistance to their provocation.

I'm pretty sure competent militaries store their munitions in networks of dozens if not hundreds of earthen bunkers per site, specifically so shit like this can't happen.

264 kilotons is a fuckload of bombs.

Announcements like this are the equivalent of police saying "everybody remain calm!"

They are the institution. It's not like they're ever going to say "Yeah, shit's fucked, guys. Pull all your money out and invest in canned goods and ammunition."

Many if not all school districts in the States have their funding tied to their performance, so there is a negative incentive to make grades look good. My elementary school tried to place me in their Special Ed program because my grades would have brought the average up there.

Plus, holding back 60, 70, 80% of an entire class just isn't logistically feasible in most cases.

The internet has made it quite easy for kids to develop an "inner life" that their parents have little to no awareness of, regardless of how attentive they are, though it's obviously worse if they are not.

Every teacher I hear from (US) these days basically says the newest generation coming up is completely screwed. Unreal levels of behavioral issues that are not being addressed at home. Complete lack of engagement with the lesson plan, unfinished assignments all over. They need to curve grades left and right just to get the majority of the class to pass. The parents are more emboldened than ever to make the teachers' lives hell over things they know nothing about and refuse to take responsibility for.

It's easy to brush it off as the standard generational nose-thumbing...but this seems different. Something is really breaking down and I think social media is at the center of it.

If the US were not utterly captured by Israeli influence, there might be a multinational UN peacekeeping mission parking aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean bombing the IDF into a pulp like the backwards zealots they are. Just like they did for Milosevic's ambitions.

I would think drifting runs the odometer higher because your wheels are spinning like in a burnout while moving a comparatively short distance.

1936 Olympics were held in Berlin, when the Nazi party held power. I hope this gains traction, but the IOC are not the most moral characters out there.

I don't know where we got this idea that "retarded" was as vile and pernicious as The Hard R, to the point people don't want to repeat it. Nobody with intellectual disabilities I've heard from has such a visceral reaction to it, anecdotal as that is. The outrage seems completely invented and it gained a momentum of its own.

"Idiot" was also a medical term for cognitive disability, should that go away too?

99% of the time I hear it used, it's interchangeable with "stupid" or "idiot" and not derogatory towards literal disability.

I'm afraid replacement parts may not merely go up in price, but many could simply disappear from the American market. Higher prices quash demand, and importers may make the strategic decision to stop delivering less popular secondary SKUs if it doesn't make financial sense.

one of their in-house artists, or a furry artist

Probably one and the same.
