Nope didn’t say that at all, nice try though. You can be authoritarian and not bomb other countries and you can be authoritarian and bomb other countries.

Foreign affairs dont necessarily effect that determination.

The US I’d say is authoritarian and imperialist.

A country like Saudia Arabia or North Korea is just Authoritarian and tend to at least only meddle with boarding nations.

That’s cool and all but still irrelevant to the original point. You can be authoritarian to your own citizens domestically without invading other nations.

The US is both imperialist and authoritarian.

Look up the definition of authoritarianism. Bombing other countries is not the defining feature of an authoritarian government.

Lmao, immediately explains how banks work. Also I pay no account fees btw.

Keep everything under your mattress eh?

What are you talking about?

I send someone $25 on zelle, $25 is deducted from my account, and that person receives $25.

How am I paying a fee in that scenario?

Yes I know how banks work so please don’t explain how they make money using my money.

Well I did instruct to ask a racist specifically

I can’t even imagine how fucking stupid this looks to Muslims who think God forbids

Truthfully it probably doesn’t matter to them that much. They are told not to eat pork because it is unclean. Why care if someone else does it? It’s not like it’s a sacred animal they were commanded not to eat. I think that’s a big difference

Ask a racist to tell you what a Muslim looks like. If they describe a person they’ve attached it to race. If they answer that it is a religion and not a race congrats you found the world’s smartest racist

I believe you misread, they said a high number of males with evidence of trauma. Basically a very large percentage of male skeletons showed damage. The original comment didn’t say there were no female skeletons.

Also depending on the dig site mass graves of men killed in combat are common. Those would obviously lack women.

I wouldn’t say genocided per se. We have pretty significant percentages of non-homo sapien DNA. Which implies a decently high degree of inter-breeding.

My money is on a combination of inter-breeding leading to genetic extinction through dilution, resource competition (strained by changing environmental conditions), and of course inter-group conflict.

Give him raw ore and let him figure it out then

I would fully accept a law that allowed companies to advertise nationally the pre-tax price with a small disclaimer saying applicable taxes vary by location, and then require the in store price tags to reflect all taxes.

There’s no excuse not to anymore. Yes it does vary, and a computer can easily adjust the price.

In this case I understand not downsizing until your kids are established with a job/place to live.

Depending on equity and their mortgage payment it may not even be possible to downsize without paying more per month. That’s the insanity of the current market.

Remember this is an occupied family home with an unoccupied room. Not a whole property.

What would you suggest?

A lot of kids move back after college. I definitely wouldn’t downsize until my family was secure and for sure no longer needed the space.

Now the question is it better to allow that space sit vacant or rent out the space.

I think there is a defensible position for renting out a temporarily unused space in your primary home versus buying vacant properties solely to rent.

Sure you can argue they dont need that space, but a lot of kids return after college. If I had kids I’d only downsize once they are well established. It’s about ensuring the security of your family and ensuring they have a place to come back to.

Is it better to let that sit space vacant for 4+ years though?

Not an apartment complex, but a building makes sense.

I’m not saying it’s just, but there are some loans that allow you to buy a quadplex but you have to live there. You are free to rent out the remaining units.

If you look at the numbers in your own post these laws are used very rarely, and in every state a fraction of petitions applied for are granted.

There needs to be actual evidence greater than “ex girlfriend said so” for a court to grant the request.

Ironically by the numbers Florida seems to be the state most likely to use the law. Granting a total of 2,355 in 2020. California on the other hand has issued only 984. These are the 3rd and 1st most populous states respectively.

Given how many people go through breakups each year and how many people are insanely petty, seems like it’s not just based on a disgruntled ex’s word.

My understanding is there is not a single state with red flag laws that allow all weapons to be seized based on one person’s word. Well other than a doctor giving a professional diagnosis.

For everyone else you have to have some evidence. Either multiple people witnessing threats/harassment video, or text based evidence.

What’s funny is it very clearly see a bear there.

Not sure if I’d be able to make it out in person, but the image makes it so very clear to me.
