I’ll ask anyway. Why do companies like bots?

It’s a built-in feature of internet groups that they are bad at producing messages and leaders for a wider audience. The dynamics of facebook groups and internet forums reward preaching to the choir and punishes compromises, both with opposition, moderates and reality.

Salads and sandwiches should be served room temperature, never right out of the fridge cold

Many ways to articulate this

The main quesiton is what you want long term. If you want to eventually move in with a romantic partner, I would advice you to get used to independent living beforehand. Having to cook for and clean up after a partner who never learned to live without mommy and daddy is a huge turn-off for most people and can sour a relationship very fast. I would ask you these questions:

Do you cook dinner for the household at least every week?

Do you clean the kitchen yourself after cooking?

Do you do the grocery shopping for the household?

Do you often tidy up the pots and pans after meals (not just your own plates and cutlery)?

Are you the one who takes a walk around the house putting away stray plates, glasses & clothes and tidying up? Do you do this at least once a day?

When something breaks, are you often the one who repairs or replaces it?

Is it typically tidier & neater when your parents are away than when they are home?

If you want to live with a romantic partner in the future, and the answer to any of these is no, I suggest you have a long hard think about whether you’re preparing for the life you want, or just staying where it’s comfortable.

I would go the Social Services office and explain my situation. Provided I could prove my identity I would walk out with a couple hundred dollars cash, an address for decent temporary accommodations, and an appointment with a case worker to find a more permanent solution for me.

That’s the security of the Nordic welfare state.

EU carbon permits shot up from €20 and have been hovering under €100 a tonne post-COVID. ~€200 is when existing direct air capture starts to become competitive. If it can be scaled at that price, we might be closer than we think.

My wife does this all the time. I make her pause and then we chat a bit. Works well

Which Arab nations are Joe Biden currently exterminating, then?

China is way way worse than the IMF. The IMF restructures the debts of distressed countries to help them avoid bankruptcy. China sabotages this sort of help by refusing to negotiate on the same terms as other creditors, preventing the IMF from doing it’s job.

Asserting that Joe Biden hasn’t committed any genocides is not denying the holocaust. You know this very well, I think.

Which Arab nations have Joe Biden exterminated, exactly?

Genocide Joe? 🙄

People are really working to rob that word of all meaning

I don’t understand how your comment relates to mine. Do you believe that because I consider a cessation of hostilities where Hamas keeps their hostages a victory for Hamas, that I mean to say that rescuing hostages is the scope of Israel’s campaign?

It clearly isn’t. Israel intends to destroy Hamas and are appallingly callous about the collateral damage they cause in the process

A ceasefire where Hamas gets to keep their hostages is a huge Hamas victory. Advocating for something which gives Hamas a huge victory will be interpreted by some as support for Hamas.

These demonstrations are full of Palestinian flags, without an Israeli one in sight. It’s hard to argue against them being partisan

Isn’t this just typical of how young people are?

You’re pretty far off the deep end to call the present campaign unprovoked.

Disproportionate, bloody, horrible, inhuman, this you can say, but to claim that Israel wasn’t attacked and hasn’t suffered is frankly insane
