Maybe the Simpsons will still be on air…

Plus the massacre that started everything was so horrific, it made a clear good guy - bad guy effect in the immediate aftermath. Same as Russia looking like the bad guys invading Ukraine, especially with Zelensky being a charismatic good guy.

Those of us watching from a far, seeing it only on our screens, try to categorize what we see. And decide who we align with.

The problem is that Israel is complicated on a good day, most of us don’t have anywhere close to basic understanding of what’s going on politically there. Then add in the weird religious stuff. (For instance, my dad thinks Israel is ordained by God and therefore the government there is not corrupt, but also thinks Jewish people should convert to Christianity?)

So people feel like they can’t criticize Israel (because God) and also can’t comprehend that bad things are being done by the “good guys” to innocent people. And the innocent people are also of yet another religion that they’ve been taught to fear- so…

And politicians and journalists are also stuck because if they are too critical of Israel, it fuels antisemitism, at least here in the US.

I don’t have a solution, other than for someone smarter than me to figure out how to explain it in simple terms, that can be fed in short segments to the population along with the on the ground reporting. But that would still have to compete with the dissonance in messaging coming from churches.

You should get a full dermatologist check. Especially if you have ever been sunburned.

Get any suspicious or annoying moles removed and biopsied.

I have 4 friends (granted 50+ years old) who have had skin cancers removed in the last year. Many, many stitches on faces, arms, and necks

Today I read your comment twice before I realized my brain had autocorrected all badminton to badmitton

Yeah, my step-son is planning to adopt if he and his fiancee want kids. Climate isn’t the only reason, but even before he ever met her, he told me he’d rather adopt than bring more people into the world.

Omg, it’s an inside-joke at our company now.

Anytime something happens on a server that’s been running great for years, like a hard drive going bad or the time one literally caught on fire…

98% of the time it is selinux that is the reason it is doing weird things after the main fix because selinux changed a setting on the reboot.

“Have you checked selinux?” is the go to question whenever anything breaks now, even if it’s not a computer.

I have an S7 (yes I know it’s old) I still like it and it works - but - something happens about once or twice a month and it starts hanging up whenever a phone call connects and/or an app will get super laggy.

Anyway, reboot fixes it (so far) and nothing else I’ve tried does.

There’s definitely something with these older phones that is like a slow leak and the simple, easy, lasts for weeks fix is to just take 2 minutes for a full “turn it off and back on again”

Plus the overheating when something gets stuck doing a background thing. Reboot reboot.

I plan to use this phone until it dies, reboot stops fixing things, or needed apps are no longer working/supported.

Slack no longer works/supported, but that one I’m just like “oh, noooo” However I expect ones I actually need to start falling off and I’ll be lucky to get a couple more years of use.

My meandering point, some of us are still using Android phones where reboot helps a lot

Ha, one should always be aware of the risks.

But also, VLC crashes a lot for me lately, so was hoping this was a joke that the next version would be more stable and the kinks would be worked out.

At least the base looks flaired

We still have this issue in the bathroom
