How many AA powered toys does your family have?? I’m actually baffled that anyone would possibly need up to 200 AAs for their kid’s toys. Are there non-powered toys in your household? I’m not trying to shame you, I’m just intrigued.

There are rechargeable lithium batteries in the form of AAs that would reduce the waste, they might not last quite as long though

Bush, Obama, and Biden and presidents before all did the same in Afghanistan and Iraq and elsewhere. If a person in a certain area was a “military aged male” they were a valid target, and they would rarely verify who they actually killed after doing a drone strike. They would bomb a families house based on a tip from one person with no other evidence and never check to see if it was accurate. Trump is just more open about it now and doing it closer to home.

What? No, being a Nazi is asking for it.

What do you mean? He worked for Constellis, formerly Blackwater, a private mercenary company, in Afghanistan. This company changed it’s branding partly because of bad publicity from civilian massacres committed by it’s soldiers.

I don’t know a single person who accidentally got a nazi tattoo or made a whoopsie by going to Iraq for three tours then enjoying killing so much he signed up to do it for profit. I agree people change but that doesn’t mean they should be trusted as a senator. There is still time for a better choice.

They will still charge you with attempted murder and terrorism if you’re caught doing that, they’ve charged people worse for less. They have been detaining people and making up charges against even the most passive peaceful activists.

You have the relationship backwards, Israel is a vassel state of the US, the ruling class in the US uses Israel to reduce stability among Arab states and profits from their colonialism. Israel wouldn’t function without the backing of the US. It’s a classic trope that the global Jewish elite is pushing the US around, but every action Israel takes is overseen by US officials and military and is supplied primarily by US weaponry. They may act independently and against the interests of the US at times but that doesn’t change the overal dynamic.

Nazi Germany was directly inspired by the US’s manifest destiny, racist laws and racial theorists from the US, we blocked Jewish refugees from coming to the US in 30s and after the war gave several prominent Nazis positions in US organizations, the US is called ‘The Great Satan’ for a reason.

Plants in general can contain more lead from soil whereas animals will filter it out before you consume their flesh, but the amounts they found were still well below what is recommended for other plant products such as fruit juice. After looking into it when I saw that study it kinda sucks how much lead is still in a lot of things. I’d be curious to see a bigger study comparing the lead found in people that use the plant-based powder or are vegetarian versus meat-eaters.

What do you mean? It helped me

For REAL, this Platner dude is going to get elected and turn out to be a literal social fascist and people will be shocked somehow. Do people forget that a candidate can just say whatever they want to get your vote?

He had that tattoo for years after it was clear he knew what it meant, you really are going to trust someone is a good candidate that not only did several tours in Iraq but was hired by fucking Blackwater to continue killing because he stated he enjoyed it? If this is the best candidate in the state we are so truly fucked, I refuse to believe there is no one better that could run.

Nobody is perfect but are you kidding me with this? You really are going to say this guy is awesome, who stated essentially “millions may die because our way of life is better”, had no problem with being a for-profit war criminal less than ten years ago, because he claims he has good views on healthcare. I agree people change but that doesn’t mean he should be trusted in a position of power.

Mass killings of civilians were committed against Germany and Japan, and those attacks are widely seen as war crimes, most reasonable people don’t argue that the average German or Japanese worker going about their day deserved getting firebombed. There were mass atrocities but they weren’t defeated by genocide, they were defeated by a military campaign that took out any capacity they had to wage war.

The Israeli state at least, like the German Nazi state during WW2, does deserve to be destroyed. Palestinians have had a life of continual murder from advanced weaponry at the hands of Israelis, but even they still generally don’t want to kill every Israeli person.

All of the land occupied by Israel is stolen from Palestinians, they would be justified in wanting them out and their homes back. But if you ask them they generally say they don’t necessarily want to evict anyone, most of the average people there just want to live and have sovereignty.

The right-wingers also aren’t from the place they have these rallies at usually. They drive all over the country and get bussed around for these events to make the movement seem more popular. But when there are large progressive/left protests or events, they are mostly actually from that area so they care more about not making a mess.

They aren’t Nazis just for contrarianisms sake, a large portion of the right wing in the US is inspired by and wants to emulate the Nazis and agree with their racist worldview. A lot of the people trolling and posting ironic racist stuff were just being edgy at some point, but many of them do agree with the things and just troll/joke as a cover.

Okay fair enough, but it’s pretty obviously a protest against his administration and MAGA movement which he represents.
