2nd or 3rd, hard to believe either way.

China 3rd? Hard to believe.

Forgot how Pro-drug the fediverse is as well; vapes should be regulated as heavily as cigarettes and other tobacco products. Just because it’s less harmful doesn’t mean it’s not harmful.

Isreal soldiers have been doing a fair amount of fighting over the years too, including the last decade. Maybe each soldier on average isn’t the hardened vet the average Ukranian soldier is now, but the amount of instituional knowledge IDF has is not to be sneered at.

It definitely is a political play, like you said. More support from Israel for Ukraine, and maybe less support to Russia. I believe Israel is maintaining some nominal relation to Russia due to their histories.

Dang, lucky you! Though also what in the world did the previous owner do to it to kill the battery so dead in just 3 years.

Holy shit, that is a great deal regardless of where in the world you are. How’d you get it so cheap?

Tough as hell, good to great keyboards, Trackpoints are the bomb if you do work in an enterprise environment (more text than graphics)

Not just Palestinians, innocent Israelis are going to die from these decisions. I was following the judiciary saga in Israel a little, and I hope Israelis will eventually win the fight against this tyrant wannabe.

Exactly, what did they think they’ll achieve but even more resentment and hate?

Welp, whatever goodwill and sympathy I had for Israel just went poof. Less than 24 hours too, gotta be a record for them.

Might as well cite Singapore, but we also have our negatives. I wouldn’t be so quick to jump to private/public as the main source of education problems.

It’s a tough situation, but much of our progress has been on this ponzi population scheme, and it’s just not sustainable any more. A population that’s a pyramid (ie significantly more young than old) is an ever-growing one, and currently we’re pushing the limits of sustainability as it is.

I do believe that a complete overhaul is in order, not just infrastructure, but how our economies and societies work.

Didn’t work that well; in the end, it’s the same like any other country: Increased education and rising affluence.

It’s not that simple. Is this for simple sexual gratification? A fantasy? Short-term relationship? Long-term?

When I was 20, I had my fantasies and had several one-night stands as well with older men. That’s where the attraction ended; it was more of a fantasy/kink, but I held no romantic interest in them.

The issue mostly is with power imbalance, it’s very easy for the older person to use their experience in life to limit the agency of the younger partner, so it takes some work for an age gap relationship to be a healthy one. I’m in one myself, and I do my best to be mindful about this.

Asian cultures don’t really see it as normal too, tongues were wagging with one of our Singapore president candidates in the recent election; he was 75, she 45.

I know, that’s why I don’t begrudge them, but at the same time, I do feel a little weary on the inside when I see another interesting game that’s pixel art. xD

I live in a rural area. The most I’ve ever had to wait was during a lunch rush one day. About 5 to 10 minutes or so.

And here I thought rural areas would have less vehicles (and people) so that wouldn’t be a thing. Meanwhile I don’t think I’ve ever had to wait more than 2 minutes, and I’m in a super dense city!

Generally it’s down to genre and mechanics. I obviously have my preferences so I’ll always keep a lookout on those that interest me. As well as avoid those I don’t.

I generally don’t have a preference for art style (I appreciate a wide variety of them), though I confess, I am getting a little tired of pixel-art games.
