Israel is an extreme example of colonization, formed with the barrel of a gun under the guise of returning to homeland. Somehow being at the wrong end of a genocide entitles Israelis to commit their own? Why does the USA continues to support & fund an overt theocracy?

Conservative after having their wildest dreams come true packing the supreme court
They needed new dreams
The result a 900 page dream journal
Complete with their very own self induced Armageddon/purge
Conservatives over played their hand
Playing for the tie only works if it's close
We should all make sure it isn't, Again!
What's a mouse?
I use a trackpad
The lenovo version of trackpad on my thinkpad has buttons on the top & bottom along with trackpoint that works when nothing else will..
I even have a usb keyboard with a trackpad
I bought a gaming mouse [not logitech] to set up a distro that wouldn't install by trackpad for $12 once the install finished, it sits on a shelf
A forever mouse is a solution in search of a problem
The customer base of people who use mice is shrinking, most people use their phones or pads a majority of the time
Artist is defined as someone who can afford to defend their rights in court
It's great for the guild of lawyers, they would describe the situation as billable hours...
Not an "artist, songwriter or journalist" You're on your own
You're free to be pillaged for you data by ai
There is no ai without stolen data
I lived this from the factory floor in the central valley of california from 1980-2010
In my experience safety was driven by workmens comp insurance companies. The would be a clip board conga line a couple of times a year made up of representatives of our company & insurance company people, checking to see if their "suggestions" had been implemented & new threats [to the bottom line] identified
Anyone who had a moderate to serious injuries were fired with the expectation the injured would sue the [insurance] company, requiring a lawyer who got a percentage of the award
A fun bit of outsourcing that generates billable hours for the guild of lawyers & shifts responsibility back to the victim
As time went on the monthly mandatory safety meetings became the perfect time for all of us to sign off on liability for normal operations
I found the suggestion box to be a powerful tool
Careful wording can force managers to answer difficult questions in front of all the other managers :D
The primary dysfunction is corporate personhood, more than all the rights of a human,
none of the responsibilities beyond the bottom line
Socialize the costs
Privatize the profits
Money as speech has always been the case
Having an impactful political opinion has always required one to have excess resources, what rules there might have been eroded by the guild reinterpreting founders intent
The whole exercise of forming a religious state with approval & support of overtly secular countries is weird? No idea why we have ever supported what amounts to a 70 year genocide...
Is there a transcript?
We aren't going to solve a crisis of excess consumption, with slightly different consumption
Example:
Replacing a 200hp ice vehicle with a 500hp electric vehicle isn't more sustainable, less actually
Extractive resources are greatly undervalued
Socializing the costs & privatizing the profits is the root
Example:
Once you punch holes through the aquifer, there is no repairing the damage, just temporary solutions that last decades not hundreds or thousands of years
As long as we use whatever the market will bear valuation, disconnected from the true long term costs & value added, the results will continue to do little to solve the issues
My wrist will not tolerate using a mouse for more than a few hours
You use a mouse on your phone?
