> nation without a navy can now inexpensively counter a nation with one

I would argue that you are right with Ukraine vs Russia since the former has sunk so many of latter's assets. But that has not been the case with US vs Iran.

Think of Breaking Bad. His wife literally asked him this same question. When is it enough?

It's a mentality where you can't stop.

Literally every country has a countryside problem. From US to Russia to Asia to any country in Europe.

You are cherry picking. The sale of TikTok conversation goes way back and has little to do with Israel and more to do that they were caught spying on our phones.

> saying "we have a Tiktok problem"

All the more proving my point that TikTok is filled to the brim with anti-semitic content and "Palestine" content is in no way restricted.

> Twitch updated it's Hateful Conduct Policy to say "Zionist" is "hate speech"

Good. Calling for destruction of Israel is hate speech. Which is how "Zionist" is used most of the time.

> suppression by Google and Meta of content about Palestine

That is nonsense. This type of content appears on my TikTok/Reels feeds nonstop even if I don't interact with it.

OpenAI had the the same restrictions. Also required you to verify via Persona. I complained and at some point the restrictions were removed. Not sure if because of my complaining or if someone in our org actually verified.

No, I am talking about the JR West Rail Pass. Gives you access to local trains, shinkansen, museums and a host of other things.

But the regional passes are still a good deal. If you are in Osaka or Kyoto, and want to take a day trip to Hiroshima, it more than covers the cost, in addition to granting access to various museums plus other benefits.

You should probably read the snopes article, because nowhere in it does it say that it was a humorous take on the Information Superhighway hoopla.

You are spreading lies. Easily checked lies.

What groups do you subscribe to? My feed is mostly relatives, friends and their photos. Occasionally there are panels with people I don't subscribe to, which you can press X on and you won't see them again.

The only entity that "passes" laws in this country is Congress.

You mean via executive order? That's not exactly passing a law.

That works for relatively simple scenarios. When you have to add deploying sql changes or something having to update something in the cloud, you'd have to include a lot more plumbing.
