It’s in the part “Accompanying the IHRA Definition are 11 examples that “may serve as illustrations”.

This is probably the major one people would have issue with because you could get convicted of antisemitism for just speaking the truth.

Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

maybe go check for yourself, clearly your not serious enough to even do that so no point talking about this more

Bringing up that it had bipartisan support is completely irrelevant.

The headlines are going to be “Biden signs bill banning Tick Tok”. When his support of a horrible genocide is already depressing how much non republicans want to vote for him going out and doing this is just adding more reasons.

Maybe you and him need to get actually serious and focus on things people actually care about.

He is only campaigning on “I’m not trump” like literally if you got to his website and click on “Joes Vision” you get taken to a 404 page. There’s nothing talking about where he stands on issues or what he offers.

Glad to see Dems are taking the threat of Trump getting into power serious by focusing on issues that their base support:

1. Stop funding and supplying a genocide
2. Packing the clearly biased court so things like student loan forgiveness can pass and all these anti trans and other crazy far right laws get shot down
3. Not breaking rail road workers strikes
4. Banning one of the most popular social media apps

How about we focus on stopping genocide. If you live outside the ~5 states that decide the election then you should be voting for a third party.

Clearly Donald trump wont be any better and that clearly wasn’t my point. To people who are trying to stop this genocide going “The other guys isn’t going to be any better” instead of also trying to stop the genocide isn’t going to convince them to come to your side.

The nose is getting cut off by either candidate in this situation. Biden has pulled strings we all wish would’ve been pulled for something like saving the student debt foregivness but instead he did it to continue supplying and funding a genocide.

The Wikipedia Article explains the grounds that each of the 6 countries involved base their claim.

Some are based on historical ownership from WW2, others it’s either apart of its continental shelf or within 200 miles of its coast.

Just a heads up it’s only available for the following states:

Arizona California Florida Massachusetts Nevada New Hampshire New York South Dakota Tennessee Texas Washington state Wyoming

It’s called the Everyman/uberman sleep cycle depending on how extreme you go and it’s pretty interesting. Tried the Everyman for awhile and it was nice but if you get sick or otherwise mess it up it you basically have to restart the whole process. Also tough to do if you’re not single, once I met my wife I fully gave it up.

Enlighten us because nothing in your comment bothered to go into any of the reasons so why even make it if you then don’t want to follow up.

Not sure why you even went to the effort to link this because it’s almost completely irrelevant. The cost of living in Chicago and Morocco are not even remotely the same so trying to make the point that people elsewhere in the world can survive off that much so people on Chicago should is nonsense. That’s assuming we’d even consider people in Morocco living on that much as having a decent quality of life.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear, I 100% get trying to reduce fentanyl my response was more a complaint that we seem to always do these half measures but yes trying to get fentanyl gone is a good thing. I’ve done many drugs but thankfully never fent.

I mean clearly there’s systemic issues driving people to seek this stuff, just removing fenty without addressing those means they’ll just seek out other things. Realistically we should be legalizing the safer stuff (psychedelics, MDMA, etc) that isn’t as damaging or addicting and raising living standards to combat the harder stuff but in our current state where weed isn’t even legal federally and it’s all treated the same more or less addicts and ODs on hard drugs are going to be the outcome.

I started a fantasy basketball community here for anyone interested. I try to share helpful articles I find and plan to do more if it grows.

I live very close to areas that have been evacuated but haven’t had it happen to me personally so don’t have direct experience but this is how I’ve heard it plays out at least here in the US:

Evacuation: The local government handles the initial warnings and later directing people out of the area once it gets bad enough. There may or may not be shelters setup as well.

Where to go: That is possibly completely on you to cover, ideally you have family close you could live with but otherwise will have to figure out housing and pay for. Shelters may be setup depending on your area but may not be the best experience since you won’t have the most privacy or comfort. I have heard stories of people just having to live in their car for awhile due to their house being destroyed while waiting for insurance payouts. I would think some insurance policies would offer reimbursement for the funds once the claim goes through but you will likely want to have an emergency fund for the immediate needs.

Damage: Fire damage insurance is available that would either cover the cost to rebuild or pay you out. No idea on the specifics or if this applies to Canada. If it hits a large area it typically takes awhile to 1. Get paid from insurance 2. Find available construction companies to rebuild since a lot of people will need them all at the same time. I know for awhile there were donation drives to help the affected families find and pay for hotels, etc. even months after the fires. I would guess that as climate change makes these more frequent rates will likely go up or you’ll start to see insurance companies not offer it in certain areas.

Again this is all stuff I’ve heard second hand and didn’t get a lot of details and may not apply at your area, I’d recommend researching how it works in your area for sure.

If you looks at history “regulated” capitalism eventually deregulates because it’s in the interests of the rich to do so and even “regulated” capitalism has exploited the global south for decades and decades. I reject your idea that a few will always rise to the top and be malicious with the power, but even saying that’s true how is that any worse than the current state? I would rather at least try to find a new way to do things than resigning the world to having this be its peak where millions are hungry and destitute.

I mean under that same logic capitalism is always going to be corrupt because at its core it concentrates wealth and thus power at the top in the hands of a few. I’d rather at least try a way of organizing that puts the power in the hands of the people. No matter how much you try to regulate capitalism the rich will always try to gain more wealth and power.

Im not as familiar with Venezuela but the first 3 you listed massively increased the quality of life for their citizens versus how it was pre revolution. Cuba today is still a massive achievement considering the embargo. Just like capitalism didn’t achieve its optimal form when it first came to being, socialism hasn’t been perfect either but we learn from past mistakes and strive for something better than thinking that the current system that only benefits the global north at the expense of the global south is somehow the peak of how human society can be.
