OfCourseNot

It depends. How dark is the kid’s skin? Are they in a poor neighborhood?

There is, or was, tho.

You are just rejecting reality then. You’ve said YouTube or other big social media to be the ‘virtual town squares’ but they are not, they are virtual malls. Also real life town squares can have rules imposed by the town council too.

They have plenty of other places to go with their content, some platforms aren’t for them and that’s ok. But they don’t want to express themselves shouting from a soapbox in the town square, they want to sell their content in the mall and these particular malls just don’t sell that kind of product.

I don’t think freedoms are opposed here. Creators have the freedom to express themselves that freedom just doesn’t force anyone to give them a platform. They can use their own or another one that’s willing to host their content, which there are many, and then if they, creators or platform, are legally punished it would be a violation of their freedom of expression.

There is not a fundamental right to use other people’s platform for your expression. That’s not what freedom of expression means.

These morons are gonna unleash some zombie-ass rabies I tell you.

I’m not talking about who’s ‘rightful ruler’ or not. The roc was a country and the communist revolution took a part of the territory and made it into the prc (a new country) while the roc still exist in the remaining territory. That’s the definition of a secession. I was just pointing out one of the holes in your analogy.

Now that you took the time to write that I have a couple of questions. Was the white terror an ethnic cleansing? I might be under informed on the matter but I don’t know anything about any ethnic groups targeted in particular. Your last paragraphs imply that the sovereignty and territorial questions about Taiwan and the People’s Republic aren’t a settled matter for the whole world (except maybe the prc). Are there many voices claiming for the Taiwan government to be the ruler of mainland China anymore? Or any territorial ambitions other than staying an independent island nation?

Wouldn’t the separatists be mainland china? Honest question. Like there’s continuity from the former china government to Taiwan’s, the people’s republic is the newest entity.

This is a fuse box, with a flathead you should be able to open it and/or pull a small tray with the fuse itself inside. You Brits do your electrical wiring with ring-shaped circuits and put a fuse in every outlet.

This kind of outlet is intended for things you don’t unplug and a socket doesn’t make sense, usually boilers, ovens, stoves, ACs, alarm systems as already commented…

And that the things they eat are the result of natural selection only.

Meowdy pardner!

You are right on the counting. Thanks for the correction! I must’ve read ‘-dia-’ as a diphthong, I don’t think I’ve ever said ‘pediatrician’ out loud until now. Still a haiku anyways.

And that tune, almost none of the haiku fit the melody! For singing you have to take into account the accents and on beats. Don’t get me wrong I had a good chuckle and may or might not start doing it myself but as a rule of thumb to recognize (or gatekeep) haiku is not the best.

Reading one-line haiku

‘Train of thought’ lol the man’s never had such a thing. Maybe hyperloop of thought.

Ha! You caught me! Well spotted!

But now seriously, I’ll try to address your misconceptions:

That’s not a haiku

It is.

it needs to be 5, 7, 5

Not really. That’s like the definition for kids in school, simple but not 100% accurate. There’s plenty of haiku with different metrics, even single syllable lines.

not 6, 7, 4

I count 5-7-4.

The separation of lines matter

Iirc in Japanese haiku are written in one line.

You are kind of right tho. I think it sounds better like ‘He just kicked him out’ but I was trying to making it just taking out words from the original post.

And how about a haiku?

Need pediatrician My son unvaccinated Just kicked him out

Yeah we should expect proof of this kind of claims, having to demand it only shows how low the bar is. But even IF they can prove it, and that’s a big if, twelve people among such a massive organization would still be a nothingburger unless they’ve infiltrated the highest ranks.

I meant ‘collaborate’ as in having talks or meetings, paying a ‘tax’, playing by their rules… nothing that leaves much of a record.

‘Ties with militant groups’ is vague enough so many people will read ‘on the terrorists’ payroll’. And on time some ‘proof’ like phone calls, pictures in the same place with a ‘militant group’ member, or handing them some material aid, going to the same mosquee…

The thing is unless they’re able to articulate more concrete accusations I wouldn’t even ask for proof, proof of what? I mean I have a bunch of cousins I barely met when I was a child, and no clue what they’ve been up to these ~30 years… I might have some ‘ties’ to ‘militant groups’ too, who knows?

…but the task force sent to evaluate the island’s potential determined that only 5,000 to 7,000 families could be accommodated, or even as few as 500 families by some estimates.

…calling for the resettlement of a million Jews per year for four years, with the island being governed as a police state under the SS. They assumed that many Jews would succumb to its harsh conditions

That sounds more like ‘outright extermination’ than ‘displacement’ to me but ok.

I see you’re not the oc but as someone defending their point I’ll ask again, do you have any sources on these ‘plenty of pro-Israel Nazis’?

All aid workers around the world don’t have a choice but to collaborate with ‘militant groups’, gangs, dictators, mafia, warlords, cartels… if they have to make a deal with the devil himself to be able to help some children be damned sure they’re gonna.

Having their ranks infiltrated is nothing new to aid orgs either (remember that sexual abuse scandal not long ago) or any other organization really, specially those that try to do good. Cutting the aid because an organization isn’t perfectly invulnerable is imo utterly stupid.

So I don’t care much for those proofs, as I think the facts are most certainly true (to a degree) but NORMAL. The way they are interpreted and used as an excuse to cut the aid is absolute bullshit.
