Yeah, that hits in the feels too. In my case there have been two big ones. I wish I would've told the girl that got away that I just got jealous and it was my fault I pushed her away...that I forgave her or more realistically that she did nothing wrong. I was young and dumb. The other was what I didn't say to my stepson, that I wasn't ever going to try to be the "new sheriff in town" and that life is hard and he was fine just the way he was. Maybe that yesterday's painful lessons become tomorrow's triumphs. He was an angsty, antisocial teen and I always figured he'd be cooler towards me when he grew up a bit. He killed himself, so growing up never happened.
Literally the first thing I do on every new computer I've used in the last 20 years or so is change the setting to show all file extensions. It's always been scummy of Microsoft to hide those details and can only be justified at all by the notion that they want to make people dependent on their icons...which is a decent business justification and a horrible moral justification.
I hear ya. In its heyday it was something else. It's been bastardized, dumbed down, littered with microtransactions and mass marketed to hell now by a company that bears only the name Blizzard...a rotten husk of its former self that deserves all the hate it gets...but before all that, it brought some great memories and feelings of group achievement that are still irreplaceable to me.
I tried but the post office sent some nasty email about some dude they called Inspector General. I think it got autocorrected from Inspector Gadget but whatever, apparently they frown on the unfrozen body parts thing.
Nobody is excusing Oct 7th, we don't need a retelling of it. I don't think shooting civilians is any more barbaric than bombing them to pieces from above. You'll have to excuse me for not recognizing it as the civilized way to kill your enemies.
And, yes, Hamas, as the government in Gaza, also happens to be tallying casualty figures that Lemmy eats up without question.
Go count them yourself then. You seem to have no self-awareness of how absolutely disgusting it is, morally speaking, to insinuate "there haven't been THAT many innocents killed" with nothing but your own doubt and bias to argue the point. But this is how you folks tend to work, you don't have to prove anything, just cast amorphous doubt and leave it at that.
Setting all opinions aside, Hamas is the elected government in Gaza, ofc international aid workers will have to coordinate with them.
around 1,200 of UNRWA’s roughly 12,000 employees in Gaza have links to Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and about half have close relatives who belong to the Islamist militant groups
Weasel words in "have links" and "close relatives." Mary Trump for instance recognizes the threat Donald Trump poses and speaks out against him constantly, but you could instead say she's a close relative and imply the opposite. Same with Paul Gosar's family. Would I "have links" to Hamas if I worked at a hospital they ran?
I have come to dislike
I'll tell you what I dislike, this trend in the world where as soon as you "officially" label someone a terrorist, you're allowed to bomb them...and whoever is in the vicinity of the blast simply becomes "collateral damage." It's purely a matter of perspective. When I consider the perspective of Palestinians...what their daily life must be like...having hell rained down from above on a people with no real defenses after their homes have been flattened has to be far more terrifying than feckless rockets, suicide bombers, beheadings...etc. I'm not saying anyone is the good guy or the bad guy here, just that "terrorist" has become shorthand for people that don't have billions of dollars worth of equipment on their side.
Honorable mention for all of the Diablo's really, been playing them since the first one, and all of the Fallouts, playing since the 2nd. Shoutout to my X-Com homies.
Skill #1: You're fine just the way you are. You aren't lost, you're still deciding where to go.
My advice is to take an SDS test (career interest) to get your Holland code and learn about all the jobs that would excite you.
