It’s possible to support the Palestinians but not Hamas.
In sentiment, maybe. In reality? What concrete things can you do to benefit Palestinians that don't also benefit Hamas? Hamas are Palestinians.
That's like saying "I support Israel's right to defend itself, but not to harm innocent Palestinians." You don't get to choose. It's a package deal.
have been in a position to end the conflict for ages
There's only one way Israel can end the conflict. I don't think you're in favor of it.
"Equally evil" is such a weird phrase. Who was more evil, Jeffrey Dahmer or Jim Jones? And I don't think standing up for evil because the other side is more evil is any better of a stance than enlightened centrism.
As a devil's advocate, Hamas uses 100% of their capability for evil, even sacrificing their own lives in the name of religion to inflict the maximum damage. Israel doesn't use 10% of their capacity, and has more justifiable reasons for doing so.
This does not mean I endorse Israel. You're right in that Israel causes more overall harm.
Yeah, that's not the best example. It's extremist and popular, but not a straw man at all.
I'm generally in favor of parents being able to make decisions for their children (particularly infants) with little involvement from the government.
I don't think you should pierce a baby's ears. However unless the government can show significant harm, they should stay out of it.
You can speculate on the more controversial version of this.
Probably Netflix, YouTube, and streaming apps first. I'd say banks, but banks are slow. Games won't take long. If there's not enough blowback it'll spread to every website that uses captchas today.
I'm not really in favor of a wealth tax. Maybe, if we really need to claw back our mistakes, but I think there are better approaches.
A tax on loans based on wealth seems great though. If you have the wealth, why are you borrowing? What are the legitimate uses of secured loans?
Capital gains taxes should be higher than payroll taxes. Always and forever.
Marginal tax rates exist for a reason, and it's absurd that we stop progressive taxation after $700k. The difference between making $800k/year and making $15m/year is ridiculous. At $800k/year you at least want to make the business last for a decade. After you cash out for $15m in a year, are you really accountable to anyone?
John Oliver just did a great episode on what a scam prison healthcare is.
Oh, the airport is just named "National". I think the rest is a typo.
They named him "National"?
They did it because pros were opting into bad lane matchups and then just swapping their bot and top. And if the enemy matched, they'd switch back.
People didn't like the fight avoidance in pro games.
I kinda wish they would have given it more opportunity to work itself out.

4.8 is still .NET Framework, supported for the next ten years at least, and an easy transition.
Moving to 6 or 7 is more involved and might take actual effort (but might be nice for Linux compatibility). Not moving from 3.5 to 4.8 is an oversight.
