Department of labor has a lot of good resources.

Each of those entries is a single person. The interface is saying that their grandmother is related to both their mother and their father. The most enlightening thing would be to see Grandma's account and how related she is to either of them. It should be 50% to their child, and it's likely a lot less for the other one.

The difference is that Western media didn't question a single thing the IDF said, even as the lies were caught in 4k.

The beauty of the panopticon and the surveillance state is that everyone breaks some law some time. So you just have to wait until you hate someone enough to notice them, find out what they did, and off they go to become slave labor.

Was his wife with him? If not, she should be concerned about what activities were planned for after the ballet.

Evil. Saying literal babies aren't innocent is perhaps the most racist thing I've ever heard, since their race is the only thing the congressman could be basing this assumption on.

I heard his favorite book is Mother Night. He really sees himself in the main character.

Same with pretty much every saying that regressives steal to justify their shit.

"Blood is thicker than water" does not mean family is more important than friends. The full saying is "Blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." So it means the exact opposite.

"Spare the rod, spoil the child" is actually from a poem by Samuel Butler in the 1600s. The poem is about spanking your lover. The actual bible quote that the poem is satirizing is, "He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him." Nuanced difference, but doesn't advocate beating the same way the shortened one does.

The coroner system is terrible. It treats elected officials as if they are medical experts, and in turn they are able to offer that "expertise" in court. It's a travesty.

There's a great book on how this system can go wrong called The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist. Or you can probably just look up whatever your local coroner has done.

Does it really matter?

If Ukraine has agents, maybe they take what shots they can as the opportunity arises.

Was there much Russian language coverage of this pilot? If he was being treated as a hero, seems valid to kill him to make anyone else think twice before attacking Ukraine to try to gain the same notoriety.

And even if they didn't kill him, claiming it still sows confusion and gives the same effect in the end.

In what situation would it be appropriate, legal, and approvable to burn down civilian houses in an occupied area?

I can't think of one.

Normal MO for regressives. Exhaust everyone with bad faith arguments, moving goal posts, etc, and then get your minions to parrot that the issue is too complex/contentious/controversial to continue discussing.

It's the same vibe as saying gay o people are unhappy because they're gay when it's actually because they've made a culture of trying to make people miserable when they have the audacity to not fall in line.
