These were pagers specifically ordered by Hezbollah. Random civilians wouldn't have had them.

No, Catholics are possibly the most consistent religion in unanimously agreeing life begins at fertilization. (Which, eggs you eat aren't fertilized anyway.)

They don't baptize stillborn "babies" because they don't believe in baptizing dead people, as it's just a body at that point, no longer a complete person. Plus they believe since there was no opportunity, there is a way to heaven for them in the afterlife.

I've only heard the "first breath" thing in a few modern sects of Judaism.

This nonsense is about one step away from affecting Invidious too.

Way more people than that have lost in the general election (hundreds, if not thousands), including Cynthia McKinney in 2008 as the most successful black female loser, but plenty of other black women have lost the general election.

I have my phone number on my personal website—never had any adverse consequences. In fact, the only two calls I've gotten have both been at my work number which isn't on there somehow. One to ask a genuine question and one to give me 30 bucks in appreciation.

Donating to GIMP will not likely make it user-friendly enough to make me use it unless absolutely forced to. I would much rather donate to Pinta or Paint.NET or something where development would actually benefit me.

Stocks are basically a percentage of ownership. The share price as a dollar amount is meaningless because it could be 1% of a company or 0.000000001%. The relevant number here is that Reddit is IPOing at a valuation of $5 billion (that stock buys a ¹⁄₁₅₀₀₀₀₀₀₀ interest), which all I can reply with is hahahahahahahaha

So they're really popular if you pulverize them so they're totally unrecognizable and then trick people into eating them without respect for bodily autonomy‽

Nope, during COVID they stopped taking or checking photos. They've had to spend the last few months getting everyone to get a new card now.

It's different, but that reminds me of consensus time:

I agree that there's nothing wrong with being any ethnicity (although that's a creepy way to say it), however the Russian public does have extremely high support for Putin's actions: https://www.statista.com/statistics/896181/putin-approval-rating-russia/

Notice the huge jump in approval when he invaded Ukraine. Only FDR, Truman, Kennedy, and the Bushes have ever gotten that high of approval in the US.

I think a Facebook competitor's critical mass problem is much harder than then a competitor to Reddit or Twitter's. The appeal to Facebook is that you have all the people you know on there, and you can share updates with the mall and see updates from them all. As the portion of your friends and loved ones drops, it's utility drops proportionally. If everyone uses Facebook, it's a great tool; but if only 10% of your friends do, it's kind of worthless. You don't really want to have to post photos to two or three different sites to really share them. Having one place to connect with everyone in your life is kind of the point of Facebook.

On the other hand, Reddit and Twitter are just random things shared from random people. If you randomly deleted half of Reddit users or Twitter users, I literally wouldn't even notice. There about the containt comma you really don't care about or even really know the actual people.
