Noah is a Babylonian “deluge myth”. Judaism didn’t even exist until 1,000 years later:

It tells of how Enki, speaking through a reed wall,[v] warns the hero Atra-Hasis (‘extremely wise’) of Enlil’s plan to destroy mankind by flood, telling the hero to dismantle his house (perhaps to provide a construction site) and build a boat to escape

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atra-Hasis

The worship of Yahweh alone began at the earliest with prophet Elijah in the 9th century BCE

This means that originally the flood was caused by one god and mankind was saved by another. That’s a better explanation than “God was angry but bipolar, so he saved one family and killed everyone else.”

This woman is a piece of shit. Probably brainwashed, but still a piece of shit for using a baby like that.

You’re obviously upset because you’re a guy and you don’t want to be excluded. Excluding Muslims doesn’t affect you, because you’re not Muslim.

You don’t care about “violent crime”. Your only real concern is not being in the out-group, because you really only care about hierarchy.

You can admit that you were destroyed by facts and logic. It’s ok.

How does that address my point? The Y chromosome is the largest determining factor in violent crime, way more than any “ideology”.

Per capita, men commit more violent crime than women. It’s not even close. Do you support restrictions on men just based on their gender?

Well there’s your problem.

Yeah, multivitamins work but $0.25 is way too much. You can get it down to $0.06 per pill if you look around. $0.09 is normal.

No? The coup was stopped through non-violent resistance and diplomatic pressure. That’s the opposite of what you’re saying.

This isn’t going to do anything. First of all, North Korea is probably not going to send battle ready soldiers to a foreign country. There’s really no reason for it. They might send ditch diggers for trenches.

Second of all, this isn’t going to move the needle on the battlefield. Russia already has more troops than Ukraine. They need more and better arms and ammunition, plus better support, training, airplanes, missiles, drones, commanders, etc. Basically Russia needs a completely different military.

No it doesn’t. The US especially has spent a ton of money building up countries it has defeated in war.

The prime minister decides that their only course of action is to declare war on the United States. Expecting a quick and total defeat (since their standing army is tiny and equipped with bows and arrows), the country confidently expects to rebuild itself through the largesse that the United States bestows on all its vanquished enemies

This was done on purpose so the crisis didn’t escalate. There’s no world police to prevent Russia from nuking everyone. It’s better for outside actors to focus on de-escalation anyway.

Also, Putin is not doing this because of Ukraine. I mean that’s part of it, but he is doing it for domestic appeal. He wants to appear tough to Russian citizens. Two situations allow that: beating Ukraine easily, and losing to NATO forces. He knows NATO will not risk invading Russia, so he’s in no real danger from the second one.

NATO is intentionally not intervening because it makes Putin look weak domestically. Russia has created their own problem and the war will not end until the people of Russia demand it.

That’s what someone who doesn’t care about race, gender, etc. would say. You may not care because none of those affect you negatively.

It’s both. Trying to erase actual issues people care about (race / gender / culture / sexual orientation) doesn’t work. You can’t just say “don’t worry about it”. Not all struggle is class struggle. People actually care about their culture.

That’s a shit circle. I figured most of their articles were already written by LLMs.

Digicel uses subcontractors they call “community liaisons” to meet with gang chieftains

So, they bribe them.

Amazon never could figure out how to make that profitable on it’s own

They are so dumb. Every house could use their products, they just need to charge normal prices. Everyone has light switches in every room. Imagine if most new houses came with “Alexa” switches and electric plugs.

They tried to make money on a few hobbyists who could set it up for themselves. They needed to go after the construction market. Charge half of what they were charging and sell a ton to every house in America. It’s not an iPhone. It’s a basic device to turn on the lights.

That guy’s in Canada. America’s hat doesn’t get that funding.

Taiwan will receive 720 Switchblade missiles and accompanying fire control systems worth $60.2 million

That’s $84K per drone missile. Those are comparable to the ones you mentioned. Also, you quoted the internal Lancet price for Russia. Their export price is $35K (and I feel like you are going to have to wait a long time to get any).

The “Altius 600” is the $1 million one. It’s much heavier and has a bigger payload.

Does China realize that they don’t look tough by doing this? Do you see American Marines beating up Mexican Coast Guard members? No. Because that’s what an insecure country does.

What is China doing about Israel and Palestine? Nothing, because the current Chinese government only cares about advancing Chinese interests. They are transactional.
