Is it possible that the Democrats' hands are tied because the American public supports Israel and AIPAC has successfully primaried several progressive politicians?

I think they're in a tough spot politically, the left seems to think that support for Israel will cost the Democrats elections, but there's more evidence that if they do NOT support Israel strongly enough, it will cost them elections.

I love how the article refers to Bolton as "famous war enjoyer". I hope that catches on.

And still Trump supporters tell me that Trump is the anti-war candidate and the Democrats always start wars. I guess they will blame the war with Iran on Biden, even though Trump pulled out of the Iran deal, antagonized the Palestinians, and did his best to start a war by assassinating generals. Let's not forget Bolton's "I'll celebrate with you in Tehran" speech.

That's not even true, they interrupted episode 2 of Rings of Power for me.

I paid for the ad free add-on while Rings of Power is on but after that I'll just cancel Prime completely until there's another show I want to watch, so they're overall losing money from me with this decision.

When I first used the Adobe suite it was on a Mac, I assumed it ran best on non-Windows machines. This was in 2005... Why would they have to make it so hard to use on Linux?

I think it was 5 to 6 that was a really tough one for me because we had an in-house state management library that broke with the major breaking changes to RxJS. After that was pretty much no issue all the way from 6 to 17.

I'll never look at my phone the same way again

Probability of a freckle on any limb is going to increase with age. I'm 4/4, maybe 8/8 if you count both sides of each limb. So yeah, pretty good chance that others born before 1990 are going to have a freckle there.

Yeah, the "chilling effect" is a big problem. I'm sure the creators of TemTem and other alternatives are getting nervous.

I guess we'll never know whether Palworld could have avoided this with a different art style or varying the catching mechanics more.

And we would be talking about it, if Palworld was NOT such a blatant ripoff of Pokemon.

It's like using the OJ Simpson trial as an example of how messed up the LAPD is. Is the LAPD fucked up? Yes. Is OJ Simpson someone that we should be sympathetic to? Not so much.

If they start going after games that are NOT blatant ripoffs of their IP, then yes, I'm much more concerned about the abuses of the patent system. Patent trolling IS a real problem, I'm just not sure if Palworld is the right catalyst for people to be sympathetic about patent trolling.
