  • Exposure to other viewpoints is good. No need to debate. And if you’re on a large instance, you’ll see that. Not everyone thinks alike, there are shades of gray. Discussion is allowed to happen but intolerance isn’t tolerated.

    The tankie instances ban anyone for even asking questions politely that they don’t agree with. It’s a total monoculture and I assume they’re mostly still kids, because everything is black and white and can be solved without any nuance at all.


  • Except there are a lot of people like the first half of the parent I replied to that have a “Israel reaped what they sowed on October 6” attitude. But somehow don’t have a similar “they have reaped what they sowed” attitude towards Gaza right now.

    Which isn’t quite right.

    No one wants to share their toys since 1917. Both sides have alternatingly done ugly things that are, to our modern sensibilities, probably war crimes and ethnic cleansing. Previously, it was just war.

    We did the same/worse things to Native Americans. Spain and Portugal did the same/worse things to the Aztecs and Incas. Britain did the same/worse things to almost everyone.

    I just don’t think either side is justified but pretending like Palestine is any more or less of a victim than Israel in this whole mess doesn’t really seem to ring true if you look at the whole history.






  • What nonsense is this. The airline checks your ticket against your passport prior to departure. If airlines board anyone without the proper passport or visa and are rejected on arrival, it’s the airlines’ responsibility to fly you home on their dime.

    No airline lets you book an international ticket and board it without a valid passport and appropriate valid visas that match the name on the ticket.

    You can of course fly domestically without ID (even getting through TSA, it’s onerous but TSA has a process for that).

    Your information on that ticket is also electronically sent by the airlines to the next port of entry for a huge percentage of countries.

    If that doesn’t match the passport you have, you’re going to have problems at immigration wherever you’re going.

    You can see this is action on any boarding pass you get for international travel.

    It will say something like DOCUMENT CHECK REQD or DOCS OK right on your boarding pass.

    That’s not quite right. Preexisting assets kept separately don’t just become marital assets. If you owned a home prior to the marriage and you then live there together, it almost certainly would be considered a marital property.

    But certainly every dollar you make or asset you acquire while married counts.
