Trump and His Lawyers Dare NY Judge to Throw Him in Jail
  • Yeah, good luck getting a court to convict that. There are multiple lawsuits. None of them are considering anything with the death penalty, nor should it. There is no legal precedence for it.

    Convicting Trump of the death penalty is more likely to result in a 2nd civil war than it is to make people fall in line. We tried bombing the taliban into falling in line for 20 years. How'd that go?

    Biden Is Putting Arab Americans in an Impossible Position
  • So they're going to vote for Trump? Trump is a very strong ally to Israel. Trump certified their land grab of the golan heights. Best guess is he would certify the land grab of all of gaza

    ‘Free world, where are you?’ Gaza hospital chief pleads after babies killed
  • I mean, they send military aid to Israel because their neighbor wants to wipe out all jews and they send economic aid to palestine because not all of them want to kill all jews. So im not really sure who you are talking about.

    The US is absolutely not sitting this one out. We are supporting our ally Israel. Just as Iran is supporting their ally Hamas.

    Stop pretending this is so black and white.

    'I just find bombs, dead people... it's really scary' - British Palestinian girl in Gaza
  • People need to relate. It's easier for the West to relate to a british person than a Palestinian person. It's hard to relate to just Palestinian because a significant amount is a part of Hamas, and Hamas wants me dead because I am not Muslim. Hamas was democratically elected. That means a majority of Palestinians think their way is the right way. That little british-palestinian didn't vote for Hamas. I can relate to her. It's hard to relate to people that democratically elected a group that wants to kill me.

  • I agree, but you lost me at beautiful landscapes and climates. Its hot, humid, and flat. People go to Hawaii for beauiful landscapes and weather. Not Mississippi.

    TIL Minimum wage has only increased by $7.00 in 85 years in the USA.
  • There are lies, damn lies, and then there's statistics.

    Im not here to say the minimum wage doesnt need to be raised, because it does, but another way of putting that is

    "The minimim wage has increased 1500% in 85 years."

    That sounds a lot better even though its the same thing.

    I feel like we're all stuck in a movie where all the rich people live on some kind of floating island or satellite with everything they need to live well, and all of us have zero chance of going there
  • Isn't this the plot to elysium?

    In all seriousness, its not impossible to go from the bottom to the top, but its definitely improbable. Anyone can do middle class. Just do middle class.

    If you really want to go wild, sacrifice your pleasantries in order to save a bit and give it to your child a chance. Ill give you an example.

    Jeff Bezos mother Jackie and father Tim when were 16 and 18 respectively when she was pregnant with Jeff. Jeffs first dad was a drunk asshole and they got divored. She met a Cuban Refugee named Miguel Bezos, who adopted Jeff. Jeff went and got himself into Princeton, where he graduated and started working for a financial tech company.

    Now Miguel got his degree and was working for exxon. Thats how he was able to save up the $254k that he and Jackie loaned to Jeff. With that, he made an online bookstore called amazon.com. From there Jeff became the multi billionaire he is now. Oh, Jackie and Miguel got 6% each so they're billionaires too.

    Now that's the American Dream. Even so, I think the question is, how rich is too rich?

    Something Mysterious Appears to Be Suppressing the Universe's Growth, Scientists Say
  • That is correct and I misremembered. For some reason a heat death makes me think of going back to a singularity because a singularity would probably be the hottest thing ever. Ironically, a heat death would be really cold

  • You are correct and I misremembered it. "The Big Freeze" and "Heat Death" are the same thing. Thats when everything expands until there is no more heat.

    If someone knows the correct terms for what I am talking about please let me know. Let me explain further.

    What I am talking about is the opposite of heat death, which is somehow in my mind at a hot death? Basically, where everything goes back to one singularity instead of expanding forever.

  • Heres a great source

    It explains why the universe will have a cold death instead of a heat death.

    Right now the universe is expanding and its expanding faster today than yesterday. Things could change, but current math points to a cold death
