supporting Israel being an easy and surface-level way to alleviate that guilt.

No doubt reinforced by enormous amounts of hasbara.

Almost as if they’re overcompensating for something. 🤔

This is the result explicit, aggressive and longstanding propaganda by the State of Israel and its foreign agents like AIPAC.

They want there to be no conceptual space between the State of Israel, the Jewish religion, and the Jewish people around the world, so they can turn any criticism of Israel into antisemitism and therefore a hate crime.

Reality is about to get all melty and people are gonna have six fingers.

Cmon man. Yes I’ve been a few places in sailboats. North sea in the winter for one. You clearly were trying to refer to Cape Horn and The Cape of Good Hope (or Cape Agulhas). Just take the L and don’t be a twat.

I assume you mean “both capes.” While this line does come within a few thousand miles of the Horn of Africa, that’s not known as an especially hard sailing area but maybe for pirates.

Sailing this line in the other direction would be considerably harder.

Facebook Purity plugin for firefox is a must.

Is it really possible to sign away a right to sue a company, especially hidden in an EULA?

Yes it is. It is called “forced arbitration” and pretty much every contract you are compelled to sign has it.

In any kind of just society with a fair legal system it would not be legal. But that doesn’t describe us or our legal system.

My guess is you’re seeing the computer go into a reject loop until a human operator finally takes over.

I remember sitting in a cafe in Copenhagen and overhearing a conversation at the table next to mine. I had no idea what they were talking about but “fucking” was the only word I recognized. It was about every third word they said.

They need to reform as a non-profit with user membership, an elected board, and fundraising like Wikipedia.

Mozilla and its murder/suicide pact with Google falling apart may be the best thing that could possibly happen to Firefox.

USA gotta export its worse ideas abroad, after all. For-profit churches, flat earth, antivaxx

More like someone in Europe realizing that they could import something from America and it’d catch on like an invasive plant species with no local ecological resistance.

He owns AWS

My experience is that Firefox often has problems on Google-owned properties. Either performance/responsiveness or functionality just not working. Why this would be is left as an exercise for the reader.

I love the idea that not only is he all-hat-no-cattle, he also faked the hat.

Texas gov’t under Abbot is sucking his c***.

Municipal police mostly came from the great railroad strike of 1871.

The storm troops on Endor were not ambushed. They knew the attack was coming. They were fighting from prepared defenses on a fire base. The fact that they were drawn out of the base to fight in the jungle was a lack of judgement on their part. Their whole mission was to protect the shield generator.

When faced with opposition without plot armour and reasons to keep them alive, Stormtroopers are fucking brutal, as seen in The Empire Strikes Back - Hoth was somewhere between a decisive Imperial victory and an Imperial Curb Stomp

Their shooting was also terrible on Endor. Maybe those were the flunky storm troopers that got put on the imperial guard due to nepotism or corruption?
