Exactly. That’s the reason she was released, they still have leverage over her with her husband. I’m sure there is a threat if she says something publicly that makes them look bad. So essentially she is a PR tool.

What a horrible outcome. Undeserved to say the least.

“Hey, President Biden here. Not sure if I can say this about our nuclear armaments, but fuck it…”

And to take it a step further, the murder of adults is just as bad as children as far as the decision making process is concerned. I agree that a baby is defenseless and morally there is an argument that it is more cruel to harm them directly, but what purpose does that distinction serve here? If we find out that 0 babies died by decapitation does that mean the violence against soft targets by Hamas is more tolerable? Or that Hamas looks less barbaric? There is a time and place where that granularity is important, like sentencing, but mainstream media is definitely not able to handle something that is so convenient to sensationalize. Essentially it becomes an emotionally charged statement that desensitizes us from the other significant acts of violence, and makes overlooking atrocities that much easier.

Reptiles and amphibians are great creatures, not sure what you can’t stand about them. You don’t have to like them as long as you treat them respectfully when you see them.

"A religious quest hidden by world governments.’ And ‘if we haven’t found it, God must not want us to see it’. Well, which is it?! Either way, that’s an awfully convenient way of explaining a complete failure to find something that doesn’t exist.

Free Tax USA. A great, cheap alternative to expensive tax filing software ripoffs like H&R Block or Turbo Tax. You can file both state and fed for less than $20. Spread the word so we can steal share from the competition, who I’ve lost more money to than I care to think about.

Third option. Let’s donate to a FOSS security validating organization that gives a badge of approval to a specific software and version. Mozilla comes to mind. I would be much more interested in using certain FOSS software if I knew for sure it was verified by a reputable source that was not corrupted by a corporation.

Do what I do. Just add a few years padding in your head. It will feel like an overshot until your brain catches up with you and realizes you’re right.

Never return.
