I guess my parents are nearly boomers but a little too old, they were kids in wwii. But I think they would also advise people to make friends and use such contacts to try get a job. Yes they went though times where you could walk into a store and get a job that day, but they also went through some shitty stuff. Moreover, they’re not idiots and know times change.

Damn these anti-vaxxers are serious!

Not a boomer, but you’d probably classify me as one. I could get a job quickly - but only because I have lots of contacts. And I can and have helped younger people with those contacts. So the trick is to make friends with lots of people, even us older folk. Maybe that comes across as creepy, but I don’t mean it that way. It’s just how things work. It worked that way in my youth too, just not as much.

They are shivering with cold. He will help warm them up (remove the cause of the shivering), but he will keep them shivering, but now because of sexual excitement/antici….pation.

I am torn. I don’t know which side to laugh at harder. Trump is more of an idiotic fool, but the church has a longer history of evil.

Maybe they redid it after a flood.
And, ahem… you’re not allowed to take photos in there.

And contrary to many people’s imagination, the wall did not run north south through all of Germany. ‘West Berlin’ was just the west half of Berlin, controlled by the West (ie not the ussr like the rest of Germany ) and it was like an island surrounded by east Germany. The wall itself was mostly just across the city north/south but with barbed wire mined death zones elsewhere. The West had to fly supplies in initially, feeding the 2 million there with a peak of one flight every 45s for nearly a year.

It’s going to imprint on you. You will have a hard time getting it to go back wild.

In the case where people respond without reading based on a kneejerk reaction to a couple of key words, I’d say it is the fault of the reader. Communication takes two parties.

The strawman is the person I replied to arguing against dismissing the entire case based on the claim of three-year-olds having useful memories. And rudely, I might add. I never said that the entire case should be dismissed. They made that up. That was the strawman.

Because I’m not dismissing the whole thing. That notion is being conjured and argued against (a strawman argument). I specifically said he should be investigated and prosecuted. It’s the pre-5yo part that weakens the case and should be dropped, and we shouldn’t pussyfoot around that if we want a solid case (a judicial one and in the court of public opinion).

It only comes across that way for idiots that don’t read. It’s actually important, because a case against Altman has to be very strong. If everyone refuses to talk about the flaky part of the accusation because of feelings, then the whole case is likely to fail when it hits any kind of judicial or media pushback.

You’re the ignorant one here and you need to check your knee-jerk reaction and actually try reading before you respond. I indicated that using a 3 or 4 year old’s memory is dicey, but that she was clearly raped when older and reliably remembers that, and so he should be investigated/prosecuted. But it damages the case against him using unnecessarily flakey memories.

Ok. I believe you, you’ve made your case. I stand ashamed.

Rajoub is a former militant and Fatah member who used to oversee the kidnapping and torture of Arafat’s enemies. He’s also called for using nukes to exterminate the population of Israel.

Strawman much?
Around 5.

Clear as in just like a picture you’ve seen? Or a story you’ve been told many times?

It doesn’t matter because if she was raped she was raped and he should face the consequences. But yes. At 3 you don’t remember stuff. She would have forgotten that. No one has real memories from that age.

If that’s true, then they’re dumbasses too.
