She was crap at her job but she was also too inexperienced for it and employed to do it by cost-cutting producers who took so many shortcuts on set safety, half the crew walked out before this happened.
More powerful heads need to roll.
Exactly the same arguments applied to Ariel Sharon (who was the malignant force in power 20 years ago). Getting rid of him made little difference.
The Occupation demands resistance (and the right to resist it is enshrined in international law). That resistance, and the need for Israel to maintain such an enormous military force that it requires universal conscription and every adult male to serve in the reserves, keeps Israelis fearful. And fear is what triggers support for authoritarianism. And, of course Aliyah tends to attract the most extreme authoritarians, keeping the authoritarian-inclined proportion of the population relatively high.
They’re not going to stop electing genocidal maniacs because those genocidal maniacs create the fear that causes a substantial proportion of the population to vote for them. They never win a majority but, under Israel’s electoral system, they don’t have to. All governments are coalitions and it is very difficult to put together a coalition without some of the more extremist parties involved (whether they are welcome or not). And those small extremist parties can (and do) bring the government down any time they feel like it.
Pretending Israel’s problems, and the problem that is Israel in its current form, can be solved by new elections is no effort at all. It’s the Democrats’ comfort blanket. Everything will be fine if only the right people are in charge. Look away, no structural problems to see here.
If you judge them for it, sure. But you shouldn’t be judging anyone at all. I do not like big muscles but I don’t go around telling men with big muscles that I think they’re wrong for having big muscles. And nor do I go around telling tiny women that like big men that they’re hypocrites. Because that would be fucking weird behaviour.
Don’t use your weight as an excuse to avoid life.
You might never lose the weight and, if you do, there’s a high chance of putting it back on. You need someone who will love you for you, not what you look like.
And chances are, if you do lose the weight, you will just find another excuse to avoid life anyway.
There’s no hypocrisy in being big but finding slim more attractive. Lots of slim people find big more attractive. I mean, don’t hurl abuse at fat people for not being fanciable to you. But you’re allowed to have your own preferences (and you’re allowed to have no clue what someone else sees in you).
Stop overthinking, and making plans that let you avoid doing anything now. Get out there and work out how to be you, not the person you wish you were.
Of course. Apart from all the many things you can say about the creativity and fun of ‘the’ ADHD brain, the absent-minded professor is a lesser known ADHD archetype. That kind of single-minded focus might not always be healthy for the individual but, for pushing back the frontiers of knowledge, it does come in handy.
Because it was based on the possibility of her getting citizenship elsewhere. In Begum’s case, she was technically eligible for Bangladeshi citizenship at the time of the ruling, although that is no longer true, and was not true in any meaningful way at the time of the decision.
Every Jewish person is technically eligible for Israeli citizenship. And that could be used to deprive them of British citizenship, with this ruling as precedent.
She was born here. This ruling means that anyone with a foreign-born parent (and anyone who is Jewish) can lawfully be deprived of their citizenship even if it means making them stateless. If that doesn’t trouble you, it’s because you haven’t thought it through.
She was born here. She was radicalised here. She can face justice here. Fobbing her off on the Kurds, or whoever it is in charge of where she is now, doesn’t solve anything.
Normal people shops, late '80s, early '90s mebbe? This potted history reckons 1968 for M&S (which is not a normal person shop when it comes to food):
A cultural history of the avocado
1968: What on Earth?
Marks & Spencer claim they introduced avocados to UK supermarkets, when they stocked them as ‘avocado pears’ in 1968. At the time, we Brits did not take to them.
People were confused by the name: when one customer complained after she’d stewed her avocado pear and served it with custard, M&S even started selling them with leaflets explaining they were intended to be a salad item.
But that is exactly what is happening.
By making the Palestinians pay the price for Europe’s crimes?
Because there is no mirror image.
@[email protected] has given you a good description of fascist methods. They’re not available to the opponents of fascism because they are not fascists.
Fascism appeals to the worst parts of our nature. It gives permission to those feeling fear, humiliation or shame to lash out in anger and destroy the people that make them feel that way.
You can’t deploy the same tactics to make those people want to be on your side instead. If you try to shame them, they will just hate harder.
You should, of course, expose and ridicule the grifters who lead fascist movements and punching fascists is encouraged. But you need to distinguish between authoritarian leaders and the people they seek to lead.
You should not pander to the billionaire-funded leaderships (take note NYT), but you must not sneer at the people they are trying to lead (take note centrist Dems).
