Are you aware that Nazis targeted more than just Jewish people? They rounded up and killed gay people, Romanis, Slavs, and anyone else who wasn't part of their chosen in-group.

So to answer your question: Nazis are most famous for rounding up and killing millions of people whom the Nazis felt were subhuman. They were famous for working to create an ethno-state.

I don't think tigers typically care about protests.

"and we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on earth,”

Ummm, I'm pretty sure most manufacturers care way more about wages than taxes. Taxes are important in white collar businesses or between areas with similar wages. But the wages of a US factory worker are much higher than a worker in China. They are likely higher than in EU, too, though maybe not by as much.

Is the plan to bring low-wage jobs to the US? Or is the plan to pay higher wages for the same job and pass the cost to the consumer? Or is the plan to add tariffs that get passed on to the consumer? Because I'm not really seeing how this helps anyone.

Alternative headline: Netanyahu waited until Trump was president before agreeing to a cease fire.

We drank so much prosecco on our first trip to Italy. Everyone talked about how much gelato they ate the first time they went to Italy, but we were sitting there poppin bottles on the balcony every night.

Try different prosecco. There is a wide variety of quality... though then you get up into champagne prices.

Negotiations to end Apartheid took 6 years (1987 to 1993)! The US started placing sanctions in 1986, and the transition away from Apartheid didn't start until 1990. Apartheid wasn't fully ended until 1994.

They said it was hard to cut ties with them, and they were right. Global politics is harder than, "just do it." Biden didn't solve the genocide in a year, but he was working with a more difficult situation than just cutting off money/weapons. If he does that, then every country around Israel starts taking advantage of it and he has a much bigger situation to deal with. I don't agree with how little Biden did to stop the genocide. I don't agree with Harris not being vocal about putting even more pressure on Israel. But there is more at play than just "don't send weapons."

He meant the Democrats rigged the last election, which means he was available to win it this time around and be pres during these Olympics and World Cup.

Yes, but it's expensive.

I can actually see Horizon working really well as an MMO. It's already open world, fetch quest-centered with city quest hubs and such. Yeah, you won't be that one main character, but you could be out there killing robot dinosaurs with friends.

Real question: after WoW had been around for a year or so, were you still unhappy about it? I never played any of the Warcraft games before WoW and had never played any MMOs before Wow, so I had no feeling either way about the announcement. I started playing WoW because two of my close friends and two of my coworkers were playing a bunch, so it was a good way to have more gaming friends than just my one gaming friend. Were most WC3 players unhappy about the announcement? It's clear that millions of people ended up being pretty happy about it in the end.

Why do people seem to think I'm saying that Meta was blocking conservatives?

Because your literal words were "the same article but about how meta was blocking conservatives." Please tell the class how saying "meta was blocking conservatives" does NOT mean "Meta was blocking conservatives."
