“Doesn’t support civil rights for trans” LOL the guy is pro trans except for women’s sports, a position that 90% of Americans & 70% of Democrats hold. This kind of purity testing is wild.

Why lie & exaggerate when the truth is already bad? 🤔
It’s a warrant issued for war crimes, not a conviction, unless you don’t believe in “innocent until proven guilty”?
& the charges are for restricting aid, in particular food, from entering Gaza. Not genocide.

If he wasn't such a piece of shit, I would probably feel bad for the guy.

As someone who hadn’t played any Bethesda games, I enjoyed it a lot, put a little over 100 hours into it & convinced me to finally play Fallout 4 & New Vegas.

Don’t forget Michael, the #1 most used boys name throughout both the 80s & 90s according to the social security administration.

Are they cooking? Or being cooked?🤔
This UCLA study found that lesbian/bi women are incarcerated at a rate “8 to 10 times higher” per capita & are being disproportionately discriminated against & mistreated all throughout the criminal justice system.

Further, their study finds that Gay/Bi men were actually 2.2x more likely to be incarcerated for a violent nonsexual crime & 4.1x for a violent sexual crime than straight men, per capita. This directly contradicts the other studies findings.

They suggest that there is prejudice & discrimination against LGB people “from initial contact with police through various stages of the criminal justice system” including profiling, over-policing, & community level marginalization/stigmatization of LGB people

I would take that study with a grain of salt using such a small sample size and relying solely on self reports.
UCLA Law, using data from the DOJ’s Bureau of Justice Statistics, claims that the incarceration rate of LGB ppl is 3x higher per capita

Israel on the other hand won’t agree to peace until Hamas recognizes them as a legitimate state, recognizes previous peace deals (like with the PA) & agrees to full demilitarization of all militant groups in Gaza including Hamas. That last bit is a real sticky one when neither side trusts the other

Different animal unfortunately.
As part of the peace deal agreement both Hamas & Israel make asks the other side find untenable.
Hamas won’t agree to peace until Israel is totally dissolved & they are the sole administrative authority of the region. Obviously Israel wouldn’t want this.

Absolutely.
The study even asserts “A theory of prejudice, stigma, & social disadvantages” & states that sexual minorities all the way down the line, are being disproportionately discriminated against from initial contact with police through various stages of the criminal justice system.

Source?
NBC News says only 90 IDF soldiers have died since 10/7.
While “More than 3,820 ppl have been killed in Lebanon by IDF bombing since the fighting started, according to Lebanon’s health ministry” & “displaced 1.2M ppl”.
Hezbollah seems to be losing. 🤔

Makes sense with it being on Gamepass, my friends who would usually not have bought the yearly COD have at least played a few hours they otherwise wouldn’t have.
I feel like how it’s worked out financially compared to previous releases would be the real question 🤔

Found a UCLA study that used incarceration rates rather than self reports & claims that “The rate of incarceration of LGB ppl is approximately 3x higher” per capita & that LGB ppl were MORE likely than straight ppl to be incarcerated for violent crimes.

In the full report, which i admittedly only glanced through, they even claim that “sexual minority men & women were more likely than straight men & women to be incarcerated for both violent sexual & violent nonsexual crimes rather than crimes related to property, drugs, or parole violations”

Would a study based on self reports be accurate?
With just a cursory google search I was able to find a UCLA law study published in 2017 that claims “The rate of incarceration of LGB people is approximately 3 times higher” per capita

Socialism is both an economic & political philosophy, Conservatism is generally considered a political & social philosophy & Liberalism contextually is all 3, political, economic & social.

They ought to include a definition or description or something, “syncretic liberalism” feels like such a nebulous result.
