I guess the chain of dominoes could go further back...

  • Far right / Europe in general persecutes Jews

  • Jews develop Zionism

  • Western support for Israel antagonizes Arabs

  • 9/11

  • War on Terror

  • mass migration to Europe and racial tension

  • resurgence of far right

(I suppose umpteen reasons for the Jews to have gotten persecuted in Europe, but the new testament calling them Christ killers properly bears a lot of blame)

(Then again, if the Romans had been a bit more reasonable taxing Judea in the first century and there wasn't a war and Israel had been there the last two millennia then maybe the above wouldn't have been so bad? Who knows)

TL;DW "after WWII people sought more relaxed casual attire, spent less time exposed to the elements, and rode in cars more where hats were cumbersome"

C is probably closest to reality with light weight ceramics and so on. Though still very very far away from actual reality.

Find something you think is more important than you and give your time to it

Saw it live in the West End, it's excellent

Interesting Doesn't explain what they're up to though!

Not really. They sound like someone who was raised conservative, thinks the foetus has some sort of status, but thinks they shouldn't get in the way of others choices.

I went through that stage myself on my way out of evangelical Christianity. I don't find anything particularly disingenuous about how they're speaking.

In my experience when showcasing at the end of a sprint it pays to leave the visuals very unpolished and focus on functionality. Even if it's trivial to use a UI library or other standard components. I deliberately make it look basic to help management / uses accept "it's working but needs polishing". That polish might then be me spending 10% of time on neatening UI, and 90% of time refactoring / fixing tech debt.

Those cables are definitely acting like there's nothing heavier on them than air. Look carefully, which wire is the van even supposed to be on? The lower wires aren't under tension - they have slack loops attached to the pole in the background of second picture which would have been pulled off by even a human's weight.

(Not to mention the gap in the wire by the van because of the crop as someone else pointed out)

I wonder if they gave a little because he'd caused so many fact checks they didn't want the uninformed to mistake it all for being one sided

Are you referring to this?

But yet again, for the pro-lifers, murdering babies, no matter how good the results etc might be is fundamentally wrong.

Because that's very obviously referring to the matter in the way that "pro lifers" would.

And you are ignoring the preceding:

I tend to agree with you that abortion should be available to all who want one because it's not my damned decision to make.

I would read comments more carefully if you're going to cast aspersions..
