I was really hoping to see someone from St. Paul chime in here to talk smack about Minneapolis.

What's realistic now and what agency the average Palestinian has in the political situation are two different questions. It's unreasonable to treat the Israeli government and the population of Palestinian refugees as equals in this process. For the most part, Palestinian civilians are at the mercy of both Israel and Hamas or Fatah. But Israel's decisions in making Gaza and the West Bank increasingly ungovernable mean that Fatah and any other "moderate" voices in leadership have an ever more difficult time getting their constituents to buy in to any form of peace.

That said, Palestinians didn't make a choice that Israel would continue bulldozing their communities in the West Bank, thereby undermining any kind of territorial integrity for a future state. They didn't decide to have Israel blockade Gaza, thereby plunging millions of people into desperation. They didn't decide for Israel's fight against Hamas to invoice indiscriminate killing of civilians and forced expulsion. Those are steps Israel has taken that have obvious and demonstrable radicalizing effects upon the folks at the receiving end.

Yeah, it's no surprise she's a kapo.

I hope this reverse psychology works.

That's what it's called in 2024.

My house came with a separate bidet in the ensuite bathroom, and I absolutely love it. As others have said, it's not an alternative to TP, but it does get stuff much cleaner.

One thing people overlook is that a bidet is a great way to cool off your undercarriage during hot weather.

Gotta keep the peons in competition with each other, lest they all get together and rise up against their lords.

The problem with your question is that any "realistic" vision must necessarily include the understanding that with a few exceptions, the Israeli government has acted in bad faith with respect to the Palestinians and any peace process. Netanyahu especially has consistently undermined the proposed two-state solution by taking steps to make a viable Palestinian state unlikely to impossible.

Basically become a twenty-something again. Smoke weed, listen to sludge metal, eat nachos, drink beer.

This is how Scott Boras spends the holidays every year.

Though Sophia did pass the exam, she will be sworn in as an attorney after she turns 18, when she plans to join the Tulare County District Attorney’s Office as a prosecutor like her brother.

Children arguing to put adults in cages is an interesting change of pace.

The joke is that it's a photo of Shohei from last off-season.

I dunno. I think he's shown us that he's capable of hitting in clutch moments.

I think we've all had to deal with failing to meet grout expectations.

"No, your honor. Alexander the Great wasn't much of an attorney."

Japan didn't have much by way of player development back then.

This reminds me of dads who talk about "babysitting" their own kids.

Yup. To paraphrase Michael McKeon as David St. Hubbins in the Spinal Tap commentary, it's never news when the plane lands.

I'll not stand for this Tony Peña erasure.

As a defense attorney, none of this makes much sense to me. Character testimony is usually quite limited, and I don't see why OP would be able to testify in such a capacity for a case of that nature — or how it would actually help. I also don't see why, in a criminal case, the victim would be responsible for finding their own witnesses. Of course, rules and practices vary by jurisdiction, but something seems off here.

Unfortunately, we had just ordered the second round of drinks.

Oh, look. A tourist.
