I mean you don't have to go with the analogy fully, but yeah, that's a deep answer, I suppose.

As Freed Palestinians Describe Torture, Trump OKs $3 Billion Arms Package for Israel | Common Dreams in c/usa@lemmy.ml

Biden admin and his VP Harris, has approved so much arms to {the Zionist project}, that at the near end of his term, sent $8 billion weapon sales to them during the Gazan massacres (Only beaten by his previous August 2024 deal of $20 billion.)

Compared to what, there was an agreement that $3.8 billion annually for 2019 to 2028 would be sent, by Trump's admin, albeit under peacetime

(This 3 billion deal is tragically typical of him, unless he increases it more and more, if not surpasses Biden's record, when another war in Gaza breaks out)

For now, the only thing I can say is we should count the amount of time of peace Gaza has. As for the West Bank, truly horrible what they're doing over there.

Why do lots of people find it bizarre for someone to eat 6 boiled eggs in one sitting but not 12 devilled eggs and in one sitting? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

The same reason why you don't simply eat boiled meat, but mainly eat it in a stew/soup.

It's not exactly a flavor town experience with boiled meat, innit?

Donald Trump hints at USAID interference in India's elections: ‘They were trying to get somebody else elected’ in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

I have mixed feelings. On one hand, the USAID bad. On the other, Modi bad (despite potential for multipolar role)

So if you're lonely, you know I'm here waiting for you

I'm just a cross-hair, I'm just a shot away from you

And if you leave here, you leave me broken, shattered I lie

I'm just a cross-hair, I'm just a shot, then we can die

Oh, oh, oh

I know I won't be leaving here with you

This is the type of social sin God would make the Israelites put into Exodus for, due to their straying from the path

Like many things people say won't be done due to '3 branches of government', yes.

Besides, don't we have the hindsight of precedence?

Canada started phasing out its penny a dozen years ago and urged store owners to round prices to the nearest nickel for cash transactions. Electronic purchases were still billed to the nearest cent. The move came after New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands, and others dropped their lowest-denomination coins.

After Canada stopped minting new pennies, it began recycling them for their “valuable” copper and zinc, according to a 2022 report from the Canadian Mint.
