Who’s paying him? Seriously:
- If nobody is, then we got our value’s worth.
- If someone is, then we should look at who, how much, and why.

You don't. That's on purpose, to test your blind unwavering faith, and you won't know your score until after you're dead. Just follow without question whatever your spiritual leader says in order to maximize your chances… ain't that convenient?
On the other hand… if you were overworked to the point of considering ending it all, making it international news could seem like a reasonable way to stick it to your boss.
In some languages, z != ƶ = ż
BOO… × IOO + BS
Sometimes it's discombobulating, isn't it?
But no, seriousnessly, get a pinch of lazy, add a pinch of troll, throw in some euphemism, mix thoroughly for a while, and shit happens, like birds and bees.
when they have any actual power
Spoiler: they don't. Elected presidents can't speak against whoever would successfully lobby to impeach them.
Resolution 181 is a red herring.
There were already Arab vs. Zionist clashes before it, and they would have continued with or without a resolution that nobody was following. Only thing the British can be seen at fault for, is leaving without having enforced 181… which meant leaving Israel alone to fight a war against a coordinated attack from multiple Arab countries at once. Not precisely "cowtowing" to Israel.
Modern terrorist groups are the result of Israel going against its own Declaration of Independence where it promised to follow 181, and instead trying to get exclusive control of the whole territory… while Palestinians are getting pummeled, but still also refuse to consider a two-state solution, leaving them in an underdog position where all they can do is some terrorist attacks and wait to get destroyed.
That isn't even a question, it's a tautology given how the US is fully supporting whatever Israel is doing.
The objective of the IDF is to free the hostages. They will make an effort to minimize civilian casualties.
When a legitimate target is hiding among civilians, there are two possible responses:
- Civilized nations: "F%ck, guess we'll have to wait until they move"
- Non-civilized nations: "Collateral damage"
But they must achieve that objective even while know civilian causalities are a certainty
No "buts". Like it or not, defend it or not, that's what non-civilized nations do.
weasel words like "under 1%"
WTF. Actually, WTF the rest too. Oh well 🤹
You seem to have interpreted "under 1%" as "almost 1%" instead of "less than 1%". Less than 1% includes 0%… which it isn't, because there have been a few deaths caused by experimental cars, just far fewer than the hundreds of thousands caused by drivers of fully certified cars. Similarly, "over 80" includes figures like 84% or 92% that I've seen cited from a quick Google search.
In any case, if you think any of what I said is made up, only way to be sure would be to check it out yourself, wouldn't it?
Ironically, that's nonsense. Experimental cars on public roads barely cause any deadly accidents (under 1%), unlike distracted road-certified human drivers (over 80%); there is still twice as many births than deaths per year, predictions don't expect there to be "enough" deaths for a stable population before 2085; and wind turbine blades already can change pitch without flying apart anyway. 🤷
There are constant natural disasters, pandemics, famines, wars, climate going berserk… and if you look at the world population counter, it's still going up.
With 8 billion people out there, an average lifespan of 80 would make it "normal" for 100 million to die each year. The average lifespan is barely over 72, though, that's got room for a lot of disasters in there.Any global disaster that doesn't kill at least 10% of the population, or over 800 million, is barely going to register on a "species" scale.
Brace yourself for a disaster a day for the foreseeable future. This is the new normal.

Some places, a little shadow could be good for crops.
You could probably apply the land sail craft trick to a car with a fan. The fan might need a special design, but it could potentially work the same way.
Which is a great thing in places where the sun would otherwise scorch the earth not letting anything grow.
There are combined projects of "solar panels + grass + sheep". The grass helps retain water, lowering the temperature under the panel, which increases panel efficiency, and the sheep keep the grass from growing too tall, while feeding themselves.
But… genocide "with an excuse". That always fixes everything /s

All photos, videos, audio recordings, and testimonies, can be faked, manipulated or be a lie. What's "credible" at this point?
Some outlets published a video of that missile, with a trail coming from inside Gaza. Some have published the IDF's photos with missile trajectories on them. Some have shown air photos of cars blocking the road "from North to South" Gaza. Some have published videos of missile impacts in the South. Some people have claimed to have gone South, only to get bombed and run back North.
This is war.
In the Ukrainian war, we still don't have a credible source as to who blew up Nord Stream, and that's been over a year ago already.
Snowden is wrong though, there are two reasons:
The AI that ends up enslaving humanity, will start by convincing the people in charge of turning it off, that it would be a really bad idea to turn it off.
