Money in banks is a freezable asset. For an organization like Hezbollah, that would be a major concern.

Expect a lot of change in Israeli-Western relations in the next 20 years

I wouldn’t count on it. Western attention spans are nowhere near long enough for that.

I think it’s more accurate to say that things become fire.

Most of the “what if” scenarios that I’ve come across focus on what if the Nazis hadn’t attacked the USSR when they did. If Germany was fighting on one front at a time, the question becomes does Germany take the UK, and if so, does the US directly enter the war at all?

Worse. Terminally online edgelord.

“Yay! We’ve created artificial general intelligence!”

“…Fuck, it’s an asshole.”

And what is your proposed solution?

Pointing out the obvious problem without proposing a solution is a giant waste of everyone’s time.

Also, can’t commit war crimes if there’s no war. And Russia says this isn’t a war.

I’m not up to speed on how US tax laws work. What does getting deemed a hobby entail?

World’s best swap drive.

The two parts are actually Israel and Hamas. If Israel wants peace, there’s not much the US is going to do to force them to keep fighting. And conversely, if Hamas doesn’t want peace, there’s nothing the US can do (short of entering the war directly) to keep Israel from fighting back. It’s all up to Israel and Hamas. The US (and Iran on the other side) are secondary players.

World wars don’t start until the superpowers are in direct conflict. That’s what defines a “World War”. There are always multiple conflicts going on around the globe.

Not really. In most jurisdictions, only gambling type sweepstakes (ie a random draw) are governed that tightly. Fan voted things like this are more or less unregulated. Plus, you have to read (and understand) the legalese fingerprint fine print to determine legal responsibilities. I’d be surprised if there weren’t language in there a that absolves them of almost all legal responsibility.

Also, there’s nothing in there that seems to be anywhere near an actual legal problem.

That would be great, but what does it have to do with Israel/Palestine?

And realistically, what the fuck is the Canadian government going to do? Go to war with Israel and by extension the US?

In this case, none of that applies. I do industrial programming. 99% of the ethernet networks I have to connect to don’t have a router, and nothing is running DHCP. They locked out my ability to manually change my IP address.

I encountered “lawful evil” once. My answer of “I know what the problem is. I know how to fix it. But because you have no clue about what this company actually does to make money, you took away my ability to do it. So now I’m here, wasting both our time” didn’t seem to go over very well.

Uh, what actions is this particular museum director guilty of?

Are you immortal? Do you have an income vastly higher than the servicing cost of that debt? Do you owe the large a majority of that debt to yourself? Are you able to, if push came to shove, tell your external creditors to go fuck themselves and dare them to so much as try to collect on the debt you don’t feel like paying? If you can’t answer “yes” to all these questions, you aren’t the US and have a debt situation that has absolutely nothing in common with the US debt.
