I don't hate children but children under age 6-8 creep me out. I get a flight response when I am put into a situation where I have to be around a toddler or baby. I have always thought it was an uncanny valley thing though. As soon as they can make complete coherent sentences though, it's awesome. It's incredible to watch them learn, absorb, and have them experience new things.

I was confused because the original post now says "deleted_by_moderator" and I thought this was in response to that comment. Ha.
Don't forget that piece of shit Tuberville. Way to fuck over our armed forces with two active conflicts going on in the world. Despicable.
I know my netflix cancellation went toward a fast usenet account. When netflix first came out, it was great and I stopped my own piracy because it was easy, convenient, and affordable to use. Then other streaming services came out and it was still convenient and I paid for those. Then they started increasing the rates, decreasing the amount of content and making the service less accessible. Well thanks guys, you drove me back to piracy as it is now easier and cheaper to get content from a usenet server than for legitimately paying for it.
Diplomatic immunity is a legal fiction. On whose authority does he have diplomatic immunity? It's not some magical construct, it describes the pressure that can be exacted by the diplomat's country were that diplomat to be detained or run afoul of some law in the host country. It's not like there is some central overarching authority handing out Diplomatic Immunity cards. It's based upon ad-hoc agreements between nations. South Africa can do as they please. They will have to face any potential consequences from either Russia for enforcing the ICC arrest warrant, or from the ICC for not enforcing the warrant.
The ICC doesn't have nukes. All that said, hard to give the launch order when you are dead so lets hope for misadventure.
100% this. Think of a satellite as a really tall Radio tower able to reach much further away.
It's so idiosyncratic that every single pizza place in the Western world has it on the menu.
