If you agree with Hamas, just a few links:

And I could go on. There are no “good guys” in this conflict. Only human victims. What the Israeli government is doing is terrible and indefensible. I’ll never pass your impossible purity test, so I’m not even going to try.
Hamas, the government of Palestine, is the enemy. The Palestinian people are humans and humans need help. The US has long standing treaties with Israel and we have to honor those. Not doing so would put a lot more people at risk and could lead to chaos around the world. The president is working through diplomatic channels to reign in Israel’s response. In the meantime the US can send out humanitarian aid to those that need it.
It’s a heritage of hate.
I work in the water testing industry, these test strips are so badly off that they’re practically useless for anything other than a ballpark measurement. Litmus paper will really only tell you if it’s less than 7. There are digital pH meters on amazon for about the same price that are much more accurate. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M5IASHD/ref=twister_B0CT8QKCVB?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Is one i’ve used for a similar purpose as the poster.
This is something easily testable. You can buy a cheap yet accurate pH tester online. The next time it rains, pull a sample and test the pH. If it’s less than 7, then it’s acidic. The lower the pH, the stronger the acid. The thing is, even purified water is listed in the USP (United States Pharmecopia) has having an allowable pH range of 5 - 8. Reason being that typically any acidity or basicity present is going to be easily neutralized with exposure to air.
I agree that Blizzard, and many other gaming companies, have continued to dig deeper into shittiness. The thing is, these lay-offs were not surgical or even tactical. They were lines on a spreadsheet and numbers in a column. In the corporate world this is what’s called “Spreadsheeting”. Column B was adjusted until Column C was in the range that the C-Suite wanted. Toxic employees are probably still there, shitty managers are still there. The office politics are still there. The people that were let go where simply the ones that made the columns easier to balance out.
The Mandela effect is likely caused by people mis-rembering things or just generally being mistaken about their memory. Even the most common Berenstain/Bernstein example comes from simple confusion. Best article i could find with pictures. https://www.cracked.com/article_34881_sorry-but-there-is-no-berenstain-bears-parallel-universe.html You were probably so into the song the first time you heard it it was over before you realized it.
I’m of the belief that separating out rights into different groups allows societies or governments a way to weasel out of protecting certain groups because it’s not socially or politically advantageous. Reading through the information on positive or negative rights, it seems that’s a pretty common concern. Also looks as if that’s the entire point since it stems from legal philosophy. Bodily autonomy of the mother is an absolute right. Abortion is an absolute right. Only a woman and her doctor should be involved in medical decisions.
I’ll add a scoop of coco powder and a dash of cinnamon to my coffee grounds. Gives it a deeper chocolate flavor with a spicy touch. If that’s a bit too much, just a dash of either to your coffee cup would do.
