At this point I feel there's some symbolism I'm missing. His uncle tells him about Simon, but the protagonist also tells his little brother about Simo...

@"Noble Dust" can you please lock the threads in place so that they don't jump around just because somebody commented on it? Now it invites people to ...
January 01, 2024 at 08:57
Thanks @"Noble Dust" and @"hypericin" for setting this up again and all contributors for submitting stories. I look forward to reading them and tellin...

so "leche" is "bitches"?
January 01, 2024 at 00:55
All that just underlines is that you're still living in 1945. My use is consistent with actual use, srebrenica, Uighur etc. are examples of genocide t...
December 31, 2023 at 17:55
Yes, I understand you live in reverse land where arguing against the continued murder of civilians under false pretenses of defence is wrong because i...

I love this one. Your ancestors are rolling around in their graves for you defending what the Nazis did to them.
December 30, 2023 at 17:33
thanks for saving me the time and aggravation.
December 30, 2023 at 17:16
False. I've never done that and that's never been my point. As to genocide, I'm using it exactly as it is defined. It's asshats like you who pretend t...
December 30, 2023 at 07:44
Another dumb post. Genocide doesn't require you to actually kill people. All Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are oppressed, every Israeli villa...

Don't encourage him...
December 29, 2023 at 22:16
If this is true, this is also true for you, so you have effectively said exactly nothing.
December 28, 2023 at 06:27
I don't have any hope any more, I'm just trying to make sure my kids will be spared the worst of what is to come.
December 28, 2023 at 06:04
interesting quote a bit further in; Bibi: “Regarding voluntary immigration … This is the direction we are going in.” Good to know that the diaspora, f...

I had a huge discussion working for the ministry when I did a course writing "briefs". The style there was long paragraphs and not justified. I refuse...

I'm just patiently waiting for the US to implode due to its corrupt and vacuous politics.

Straw man. As if some internet rando knows how to do science better than actual climate scientists. https://archive.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/ar4/...
December 27, 2023 at 15:37
The only measure is legibility and then I think you have to let the medium guide you and if formatting allows some line spacing after a paragraph as w...
December 27, 2023 at 14:29
Possible and deniable, so yes, probably just like that.
December 27, 2023 at 12:59
Trump obviously gets off on posting vague statements that people can interpret in myriad of ways but giving him room for plausible deniability.
December 27, 2023 at 12:38
a blurb of how others speak about him?
December 27, 2023 at 09:28
Can't you take a screenshot? I don't want to give him the traffic and indirect advertisement income.

this is the part where only an unappealable court decision establishes illegality, except of course something is illegal even without it having been e...

I'm done too. Hope everyone will like it.
December 26, 2023 at 11:54
Bibidiot just signalled he wants to "deradicalise" Palestinians. When not talking to a murderous thug that would involve ensuring the material conditi...

It's only natural that what remains of the GOP increasingly has higher approval ratings for Trump but this is accompanied by a decline in overall GOP ...

@"ssu" Almost Christmas. That's usually the time Israel does something horrible which is then not picked up in western media because they're too busy ...
December 24, 2023 at 14:33
Straw man. Nobody has argued for this.
December 22, 2023 at 15:53
It's dumb shit like this that's tiresome. It's not Israelis that regularly get massacred en masse. Palestinian security is just as relevant but has ne...
December 21, 2023 at 09:16
This is simply a lie. I don't want to go into the full history how things actually went but basically every "peace" deal involved the Palestinians hav...
December 21, 2023 at 08:17
The point Maher tried to make fails because the analogies he's using don't work. But as usual you're too dumb to unpackage the argument. Kind of like ...
December 20, 2023 at 20:31
As usual, telling you agree with idiots and claim "impartiality" and "objectivity" so you can ignore anything that doesn't comport with your view beca...
December 20, 2023 at 18:37
:rofl: Yes, I'm sure that is. Not only can't you read but satire is lost on you as well.
December 20, 2023 at 18:07
The inability to read, the deluge of Trump worship. One minute we're defending Trump comparing illegal immigrants to poison, the next we're raising a ...

So much for NOS4A2's idea that the Democrats are an antidemocratic force.
December 20, 2023 at 10:46
I find the whole western values are superior skit also interesting. Of course in the paradigm of western values, you value western values and as benef...
December 20, 2023 at 06:01
quotes *liberal leftist newspaper filled with lies*. And the fools have a reason not to listen.
December 19, 2023 at 09:40
The genocide has been going on for decades. Where are all the Palestinian sea side villages and cities? Their life and culture are being strangled by ...
December 19, 2023 at 06:10
Not anymore no. But there was a 6 year window where everybody did fuck all. But then even when 5,000+ kids are killed... So who am I kidding.
December 18, 2023 at 21:49
jesus, I've only pointed that out like 50 times here, which is why the change in the Hamas charter in 2017 is such an important change.
December 18, 2023 at 19:57
I'm reviewing my story and getting to the depressing conclusion it isn't good enough. The idea is fine but execution is crap this time.
December 18, 2023 at 19:18
The best part of US politics is where politicians reach for legal means to remove an opponent instead, I don't know, have actual policies that improve...
December 14, 2023 at 08:39
BOOM. Shake shake the room.
December 13, 2023 at 21:50
Seems fine to me. One's a prosecution, the other a common law claim, right? Liability can kick in because of contractual risk distributions that have ...
December 13, 2023 at 21:41
This seems to relate to the ne bis in idem principle, which means you cannot be prosecuted twice for the same fact. Is an impeachment a prosecution? I...
December 13, 2023 at 18:11
I'd like to see you set out a consistent and closed system of private ownership based on moral rules only. The problem is that "contracts" aren't aime...

It won't open for me.

There are no just transfers, only legal ones.
