Is this supposed to be some kind of public shaming? It's not as if there weren't any reasons not to issue a blank check to Ukraine.

A comprehensible way to view this war is: One corrupt shit-hole country, formerly part of the Soviet Unions has attacked another corrupt shit-hole country, formerly part of the Soviet Union.

I am German and I am happy with giving the Ukraine plenty of funds and other means in order for enabling them to stop Russia expending in my general direction. I don't really see that much benefit for the US so. But thanks, every US dollar spent is about 1€ less we have to spend. Go for it.

As a German: I think it really is not our job to criticise Israel/the jewish people. There are about 200 other countries that are capable of voicing their opinions. I seriously doubt Hamas left Israel much of a choice, though. They are still keeping and mistreating hostages. What is Israel supposed to do? Passively standing by and watching their hostages being impregnated?

I always ridiculed her, although secretly I admired her determination and also agreed with her aims.

Then she started her pro-Gaza ramblings. She clearly has no idea about history of the middle east and also can't classifiy current events. To noone's surprise as she has hardly visited school. She's also 20 now, so a full adult, she does not have this young-innocent-girl Jeanne d'Arc bonus anymore.

Why? Cause shops are open on sunday? Having no workers rights makes that a lot easier

Yes. Shops being closed on Sundays is a major PITA. I have 2 days off a week. So I have to buy groceries in overcrowded shops in the evening or in overcrowded shops on Saturdays. Or I drive across the border and buy in Luxemburg, on Sundays. So the VAT I am creating stays in another country. Which is just plain stupid.

Also: workers' rights and shops being open on Sundays aren't mutually exclusive.

...do you know how crowded Costco is on Sundays.

As a German: I hate you.

I have the cheapest Philips shaver. It is pretty mid. It came with its own charger. On the shaver's side it looks like a standard ungrounded 220V female connection. But it actually is some propriety DC thingy. Very annoying. Why not just use USB-C?

That particular fairy must be employed by the dentists' lobby, I guess 😂

I am not discussing if soda of any kind is more unhealthy than tea or not. You can drink as much soda as you want. Just don't bullshit yourself or anybody else. You only have one argument: "I like soda, don't take away my soda from me." It is not a good argument but it is all you've got.
