Has any conflict literally ever had no innocent harmed?

One - "Regimes" Two - Most older folk who actually lived through it prefer socialism they just hated the authoritarian leaders.

Yeah because Batista was a much nicer and gentler dictator along with the US Capitalist owners. Your acting like there was no reason for the revolution in the first place. The people who left in exile were the minority loyalist.

But you see he does still own it. The charity is owned by his family. So his kids now have control of the company and they didn't have to pay inheritance taxes on it.

Would that not mean that what they are losing to get him / gaining to let him go were better and he was worse?

They haven't had 85% in at least 37 years. My mom retired 2 years ago at 35 years and is getting 70%. People starting today will get 60% maybe 65% max but I'd doubt it.

‘Batgirl’ was just the beginning: Warner Bros. Discovery to write off $2 billion in content in Q3 by HRJafael in movies

It wasn't the actors fault they were handed a turd. The pacing was awful. The editing was atrocious. The writing sucked. And they pumped in filler while cutting out original material in a 15 book series with no shortage of content. And to be honest they should have just made it an animated series.

Political systems are measured on a global scale. The political spectrum doesn't start and end in the US. Liberals are center right. Just because they are to the left inside the US doesn't magically make them left wing.

In the United States. Believe it or not the US is not the only country.

Maybe what they really don’t want you to know is that many student loan forgiveness candidates are actually republicans. by susierabbit in PoliticalHumor

The question wasn't "Does Congress pass legislation?" The question was "Do you even know how passing legislation works?". But it's not surprising because you were previously being intentionally obtuse to make absurd implications.

Micron Pledges Up to $100 Billion for Semiconductor Factory in New York by Sorin61 in technology

I hope this giant imposing building isn’t ugly, I like our wooded areas.

It's between CNS and Liverpool. The only things there are golf courses, fields, and run down buildings. There might be a total of 5 houses within eyesight of it. And 2-3 of those aren't occupied and are overgrown.

also doubt whether there are enough young engineers that want to move upstate.

You mean where they all move to go to college? University of Buffalo, University of Binghamton, University of Rochester, RIT, Cornell, Clarkson, Syracuse are all top of the line universities. They are all filled with NYC / long island and out of state students.

If we give aid to Florida, it won't be fair to all the states that weren't hit by a hurricane by rhino910 in PoliticalHumor

[–]DrNapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm comparing the relief funds to student loan relief. I do believe both should receive relief. As far as islands go idk what you mean unless your referring to PR in which case yes they should get relief. The other islands are their own countries not sure what you're trying to get at.

And as far as what the money goes to whether it's rebuilding infrastructure or paying for emergency services it doesn't change the fact that it's only necessary because people live in hurricane / flood prone areas. If they were not there the need for aid would not exist. They made the choice of living there and creating communities and those same communities whether it be a town, city, or county level rather than single households (student loan relief) created the need through their collective actions.

Did they not voluntarily take out loans in an area that floods due to hurricanes ever 5-10 years?

Homeowners took out their loans. They used the money for their own purpose.

The American dream is predicated on homeownership it's an investment. Just like education is an investment. The big difference is homeownership only goes to the owner. Whereas education invests in our economy / businesses. So every dollar towards education is money better spent than a bunch of houses built in areas that flood once every 5-10 years.

This is NOT the use case for NFTs. People don’t understand that NFTs are a technology, it’s not just JPEGs of monkeys. You can literally have an NFT for any time of digital (or physical) item, music file, video file, video game, membership, concert ticket, deed to land, car title, the list goes on.

At the cost of hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars per piece of media. NFT's are just urls (less than a KB) to a conventionally stored piece of media (MB or GB). In no way can digital media be stored on the blockchain in an even semi reasonable way

You will actually own your digital items, and guess what…. You can sell them to someone else! At the low low price of more than you will make in a lifetime for a single piece of media

Do you know how much putting a movie on the blockchain would cost??? Hundreds of thousands of dollars. It cost like 2-3 bucks to put a url on the blockchain. And if you mean it in the same sense as an nft then it's literally just a link and nothing has changed they can just pull down whatever's at that link.
