I just saw a clip of ICE detaining a woman and her child at an airport in SF. They were through security and presumably leaving the country.

You’re gonna have a hard time convincing people this is legit with a brand new account with no post history. Regardless, good luck. My dog just cost me nearly two grand for surgery last week.

That birth rate is fairly in line with many Middle East nations which range anywhere from 2-4. Besides, your claim that a high birth rate means that Israel isn’t killing children is a non-sequitur.

You know there were babies born in concentration camps in Nazi Germany, right?

Places with high infant and child mortality tend to have higher birth rates specifically because people count on not all of their children surviving to adulthood.

Stop spreading FUD about genocide, it’s disgusting.

You can say Nazi. Self censorship doesn’t help anyone other than advertisers

The vast majority of the Iranian diaspora is in California, and many of them are Pahlavists. I’d think that high concentration of Iranian immigrants would make it easier for an operative to hide within as well.

While I don’t trust the FBI, there are conceivable reasons why they’d target California.

There was a time I’d watch V for Vendetta every November 5th, but that’s fallen off in recent years. Still a great movie; it’s one of those few films I think is better than the source material. I have also probably seen Billy Madison 500 times. There are a ton more I could list but those are jumping out in my head

It appears to me you don’t got it, but the stakes couldn’t be lower so it is what it is

It’s not about the arbitrary number, it’s about where the sun is when that number not dictated by me rolls around.

Again, I don’t get to set my own schedule, they’re determined by these numbers that while arbitrary, are rigid. Drop a kid off an hour late to school every day and have fun explaining that to a truancy officer, or tell your boss you’re leaving work an hour early to catch some sunlight and see how that goes.

This the new RE game?

I wish I got to set the schedule to everything in my life

The more I think about it, 8 am sunrise if we did permanent DST in late Dec/early January would be shit too. We should just split the difference, lol

4:30 sunrise in June just feels wrong to me.

I don’t need the sun to come up at 4:30 in the morning during the summer, and I am a pretty skilled runner. I’m just not a morning person.

It’s also dependent on where you live. Someone living on the easternmost part of a time zone is going to tend to want DST over standard as compared to someone living on the westernmost part. I live in the easternmost part of the Eastern US time zone and I’d pick DST if I had the choice.

I think some people can be overly smug about their lack of belief, but I don’t think that means it’s akin to a religion

I’ll usually put a pint in for 10 seconds or so. It softens the ice cream pretty uniformly, just a bit more on the edges than the center.
