I never said I was against that. I'm just trying to figure out the much harder act of implementing that very simple view of the world. If you just say, "here's a new country that's fully democratic with equal rights for all... but it now includes both Gaza and West Bank and is 73% Jewish," you have effectively given Israel an even larger country. Hell, in the US we have universal suffrage and equal rights for everyone from the ocean to the ocean... but only theoretically. Ask a black man how equal he feels in the US, even though he has all the rights and suffrage of a white man. That's how Palestinians would be treated except probably way worse.

The details beyond that are what is actually difficult and why peace hasn't been achieved. It's all fine and good to say, "we should all be happy brothers" but it ignores how hard that is to do when the two brothers want each other dead. I'm in favor of a two state solution along with reparations, but that will also be very difficult to achieve, as evidenced by the many times it has been attempted over the decades.

I was hoping for more of a Weekend at Bernies spin on this. Can we get a Step 6.5 where your dead ex is used in an insurance scam?

This is settled law. It's been this way for a long time. Multiple people have had huge monetary settlements in multiple states for being arrested for flipping off a cop.

Who is the government? Is it an elected body? Who elects them?

Because either you appoint a government that is made from basically Hamas (that'll be peaceful!), or you open elections for a new country where Jewish people are 73% of the population... so basically Israel again but now with officially more territory.

The current deal allowed them to avoid any criminal liability and keep all the billions they made. It just made them lose their company.

I think this ruling is good, since it opens the family up to criminal liability and possibly losing billions of dollars.

This is not a new thing. People have won settlements many times in the past for being arrested for flipping off cops. In CA I think someone was awarded multiple millions of dollars for it.

So what is your solution to all of the people living in Israel (not in the occupied West Bank)? Where do they go?

The dude said, "corpo speak people are broke" and said career is a clown term. I agree with almost everything you said, but the dude was saying that women who say they are focusing on their careers are only saying that because they are broke. He might be trying to imply all the stuff you said, but he definitely succeeded in sounding like a misogynistic ass.

Also, a career is not the same as working for the same company for a long time. A job is at a company, a career is your collected body of work. Focusing on your career might mean focusing on building a reputation so you can work where you want for how much you want.

I love stats like this.

I was taught by a cop during drivers ed that you should wait to pull over until it is safe for both you and the cop, since the cop has to walk along the side of the road to come to you. Slow down and turn on your emergency lights to signal to the cop that you acknowledge, but then wait until there is a gas station or safe exit from the highway.

I've had cops yell at me for doing that and other cops thank me for doing that.

The ruling is very narrow. It only says that the 5th Circuit Court set the bar too high for evidentiary requirements. This only lets the case move forward but doesn't rule on the case.

Much like hate crime cases and murder vs manslaughter, you have to prove intent.

I'm shocked it was the 5th Circuit Court who had a ruling so bad even this SCOTUS overturned it. Shocked.

 

Is there a way to force a sync/update of a federated community? When I go to https://soccer.forum I can see all kinds of recent activity. When I go to https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] I don't see any new posts for the last 16 days.

 

Both the Philly/New England and LAFC/Vancouver playoff match-ups are rematches of the final game of the season. There is a chance those four teams will play four games in a row in this new playoff format.

 

I'm required by federal rules to buy a ticket through an American carrier for work travel, which means my flights have to be booked by Delta even if the flights are operated by AF/KLM. I want to fly on AF/KLM stock to get better MQDs, though. Can I call either Delta or AF/KLM to have them change the ticket stock after purchasing? I know the stocks CAN be changed, because KLM were forced to do it in order for them to book me on a new flight after mine was cancelled. I just don't know if there are special code words I can use to get them to do it for me.

If Vancouver beats LAFC this weekend, RSL beats Colorado (likely), and Houston beats Portland (likely), then the first round of the playoffs will have LAFC playing Vancouver in a best of 3. That would be minimum of 3 games in a row between the two teams and a possibility for a 4th game.

I kind of hate it.

I didn't check Eastern Conference, but there is also a very very low likelihood of Houston and Portland playing 3-4 games in a row. That requires Seattle, Dallas, and San Jose all losing, LAFC losing, and Houston beating Portland by enough goals.

I found a very active soccer community randomly while surfing not logged in. When I got back to my computer that was logged in, I had the hardest time finding it. And when I finally found it, the community didn't show any new posts for the last 7 days and was far less active. I swapped to a different browser that wasn't logged into lemmy and could see all the newest posts.

So I tried subscribing to see if that would force a sync, but it didn't do anything.

Basically, when I'm logged into lemmy.world I cannot see any new posts on lemmy.world/c/[email protected] but when I'm logged out and go to the exact same address I can see all the newest posts.

 

Vela returns with a goal and an assist. Olivera opens up his MLS tenure with a goal. Bogusz scored a good goal. Bouanga was dangerous and had a circus goal called back for a questionable foul. And McCarthy saved 4 shots in the clean sheet. It was a fun game to watch, though in person a lot of the calls from the ref seemed questionable.

With Juarez finishing second in their group, they will head out to BMO Stadium this Wed night.

 

Vela is an absolute legend for the club who has brought us 3 titles already. It will be a bitter sweet day when we get to send off our captain, our first ever and best player.

 

Cifuentes has been pretty disappointing this season, though he's been a bit better the last few games. It would have been nice to have traded him when his stock was higher, but moving a young player to Europe is always a good thing. I'm not 100% well versed on the crazy MLS roster rules, but I wonder if this plus the Opoku move helps the club sign a new DP.

 

With the start of the League's Cup this week and LAFC having a bye through to the knockout round from holding the Supporter's Shield, the next match for LAFC isn't until August (date unknown). Let's hope the players are finally able to recover their early season form and use the time to gel on a more cohesive attack. My personal opinion is this year's Shield is already out of reach, so we should focus on League's Cup and, if we don't win that, then coast the regular season to rest up for the MLS Cup.

 

I've never started a community or modded a subreddit, so I'll be looking to hand this off to someone in the future. I just wanted to get our space started since I no longer use reddit. Please let me know if you are interested in moderating.
