on the other hand, hearing Donald Trump attack Rahm's grandfather for being in Irgun and a legitimate wanted terorrist would be extremely funny. I'm sure the republicans could make up some attack ads about jewish supremacist groups in 1947 being secretly communist or whatever, and just really lean into the whole judeo-bolshevism that Elon has been trying to get (re)started.

Coincidentally every level of management at my job is totally in love with the concept of Ai, except for the 60 year old guy in charge of my tiny department. Although the higher levels of management are trying to convert him by sending him on various technical courses, all of which are trying to make him use AI, but the guy is to technologically incapable that he just gives up immediately. The big danger in my department is the 36 year old tech-enthusiast that recently got promoted to assistant manager (no idea what the actual title is, but he is the 2nd in command of our small 20 person office).

English is the colonial language, but when India gained independence, the educated class already spoke and read it, which was more convenient, and since India has something like 121 recognized languages, English being a foreign colonial language made it easier to adopt, since they avoided "favouring" one indigenous language over another.

Not only that, he specifically referenced that God promised the land to the Israelites in the Bible, which was why it was okay that these people had their relatives murdered in various refugee camps.

Didn't she also say in an interview that she doesn't actually like Chimpanzees all that much anymore, because they act quite like humans and have these complicated social interactions, all of which are difficult to follow and keep track of, so instead her favourite animal is her cat (might be dog, can't remember).

IIRC that was Jeremy Clarkson's idea for traffic control instead of speed cameras

Which he stole from Thatcher, who came up with "Make Britain Great Again" because the pun actually works on Britain / Great Britain

Sorry if my post was unclear, but yes. Mexico and Chile are both extremly catholic countries, while my part of Scandinavia is extremely protestant and we famously work 37 hours every week and not a second more.

IIRC Mexico and Chile has the highest average workhours per year in the OECD. I remember once arguing with a guy at work about "protestant work-ethic" being a myth and showed him the graph. He's quite the neoliberal, so he puts a lot of stock in graphs compiled by NGOs, so after a while I finally shut him up.

The israeli army, much like basically any western army at this point, crumble the second they start fighting someone who can shoot back and isn't on the litteral brink of starvation.
