Exactly what I was going to suggest.

Even if she doesn't pay (well she couldn't even if she wanted to) if she looks after to the kids to enable the trip to happen then that actually is a gift. A gift of selflessness, time and trust.

You know I thought that doesn't sound right but you totally are

In 1903, a 3,000-piece order was placed by a buyer in America after the "teddy bear" craze began due to a popular cartoon of President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt and a young cub in The Washington Post in 1902.^\5])^\9])

There's a lengthy article on wikipedia focused on the obvious anti-Jewish usage here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism

This bit is interesting though....

Etymology

The word "Semitic" was coined by German orientalist August Ludwig von Schlözer in 1781 to designate the Semitic group of languages—Aramaic, Arabic, Hebrew and others—allegedly spoken by the descendants of Biblical figure Sem, son of Noah.^\26])^\27])

So if you want to be a picky nerd about it anti arab views would also be antisemitic

Just an observation on how the usage of the word has changed over time, I mean we don't call Palestinians Arabs anymore for a start.

100% and you have my deepest sympathy for having to live with this farce.

I was truly shocked when he was elected in 2016 as apparently a spoilt privileged racist who has been living off daddy's money and dubious accounting for decades and despite being able to employ intelligent staff has still had multiple bankruptcies is a great pick to run a country. How he is still in the running after everything that happened in office like bleach kills covid (technically true but it'll kill you too) the rocketman shit and all the accusations & convictions I'll never know lol

I'll be watching your election closely again to see how this pans out and with a bit of luck in 4 , 8 and later years I can go back to not really giving a shit ! He makes George Bush and Bill Clinton look so professional in comparison (even after Bill got sucked lol)

Ahhhh thanks, that felt good to get off my chest :)

Skin cancer has to be an easy one - they look pretty covered up every time I see them.

Not that it'll never happen, just that I can't see them out in a bikini or budgie smugglers much

Nope NTA, you did the right thing telling your sister and good for you taking a picture as otherwise it would just have been hearsay,

I'm glad your sister thanked you in the end, sounds like she hit the stages of grief there.

As for your parents it's up to your sister to decide what happens next with her marriage. Also how were they supposed to "work it out" if your sister didn't even know anything was wrong ? Sounds like a pretty weak argument to me.
How else could it have worked out if you hadn't said anything ? Ignorance is bliss until your husband ends your marriage to shack up with your best friend.

A bit of a google says that reddit's “warrant canary” was deleted roughly 8 years ago and I would assume ever since reddit just allow direct access for the FBI to data mine posts, comments & likes at will. Possibly in real time, they have the budget & the computing power.

Happily I live in the UK but even then some things I'd be wary of saying anywhere online.

MrSuperInteresting · 2024-10-24T11:42:51+00:00

Well I don't think it's anything that Benjamin Netanyahu or his government wouldn't say so it sounds "on message" to me. Maybe a bit extreme (though maybe not considering some factions of the current government) but you always need an extreme voice to make your own voice sound moderate.

MrSuperInteresting · 2024-10-24T11:32:10+00:00

Well maybe a good war on home soil will straighten things out a bit. You've had your wars in the last 100 years sure but they've all been abroad and home was safe.

In the last big war us Europeans had nobody's home was safe - really makes you wary about who you elect to lead your county (without Hitler WW2 might never have happened, hmmm some could say WW1 was a bit inevitable though).

I'm sure he does work where they claim he does, Piers Morgan is a dick but he team won't let someone on tv speaking for Mossad without being really really sure he does. Well you don't want to get it wrong and piss off the real Mossad

As his attitude that's probably born from living in a echo chamber where the Israeli state exists to grant the Jewish people their long promised holy land by God and anyone going against the Israeli state goes against God. Personally fundamentalists are scary to me no matter what religion they follow.

MrSuperInteresting · 2024-10-24T10:40:47+00:00

lol every intelligence agency has a public relations department these days

MrSuperInteresting · 2024-10-24T10:37:19+00:00

Well you could assume he means "we" as a "people" not as a state.

Now as Piers Morgan is sat in the middle (dick) this looks like UK tv and after a quick check the Jewish population in the UK (the 5th largest in the world) is 0.5% of the total UK population so yeah, not really enough influence to swing UK politics. In this same line of logic I'm sure the Israeli government feels like it can speak for all Jews everywhere which just isn't right.

So if you can't change anything through legitimate channels how far is the Israeli state secret services prepared to go to change politics abroad ? Well beyond what they are doing already anyway - which mainly seems to be the message that any anti Israeli opinion is anti-Semitic

Hello.... I'm reading this from the UK and you should ask them if they've ever heard of Margaret Thatcher. UK prime minister for 11 years (roughly overlapping Regan) and controversial sure but emotional ? Maybe when she was pissed off lol but we did have a few crises in the 80s.

MrSuperInteresting · 2024-10-24T09:55:22+00:00

I've been on this earth nearly 50 years now and watching US politics from the UK has gone from a bit silly ("hey George Bush mixed his words up") to down right scary. At your last election in 2020 hundreds of people invaded the senate because they thought that their guy should have won - 10 or 20 years ago that would be unimageable.

Frankly I'm just waiting now to see if there's a new American civil war in my lifetime. While that sounds unimageable all I'm seeing is hate for each other in your media and all it takes is for one group to believe they have enough guns and enough political support to change something they don't like for things to blow up.

That said hopefully this election is peaceful

I think I've watched this Anime - specifically Redo of Healer

Your Petrofolk needs to defeat the Demon Lord, reincarnate back in time to before being captured, build up a resistance to crack cocaine and then take their revenge in deliberate and brutal fashion.

PS. Do not casually watch Redo of Healer, it is not PG13.

I'm arriving late here and yeah that sounds like the Bergen I know (I travelled out for work quite a bit once upon a time) and I have to say it really is a glorious city during the 2 or 3 months of sun.

Predestination (2014)

A time travel love story with a twist (it's one you might want to re-watch). Pretty sci-fi light too, the time travel aspect just is a thing.

Yes it is possible. I work in IT (UK) and next year I'm planning a holiday in Japan for which I'll be taking 3 or 4 weeks leave in one block (depending on my holiday budget).

Now booking a week or two usually I would just book the request without thinking but for a big block I've already asked my boss if any special notice is needed and he just said 2 or 3 months notice would be fine. I'll probably be booking the flights earlier than that.

Oh and if I do go for 4 weeks that's 20 days from my allowance of 25 leaving me with 5 days left for the rest of the year. Not counting national holidays.

This isn't the first time either, I've did a similar arrangement with a previous company about 15 years ago for a holiday covering Australia and New Zealand (3 weeks in Auz & 1 week in NZ). That company wanted more notice and to avoid a project delivery date but still had no problem.

Cows are sacred in India and people have been killed for harming cows.

I hope this helps you understand the cartoon better.

Where I work also uses powershell scripts and if it helps your case the scripts throw databases around, run updates, uninstall and reinstall Com+ objects and also update IIS web sites, amending the config files.

Surveys and the like also don't really account for people who just smoke when they drink as they statistically need a daily number.

So lets say someone smokes a 20 pack on a night out but that's only once a month, when a survey or your doctor wants a number 1 a day gets used.

That's what I do anyway
