Roughly the same as the percentage of people who said they wouldn’t mind becoming a US state. We have elected officials who are open to the idea because they are ideologically aligned with the Trump admin.

Yeah, it is a fight but I think you’re misunderstanding the sides involved. A small company with like 5-15 employees (just an example) also has mouths to feed. Larger multinational corporations can and have passed American tariffs costs along to buyers from other countries to “soften the blow” for American buyers and are usually better equipped to weather the storm by taking a hit to profits over the medium term than small businesses. At the end of the day, only business logic applies because the unfortunate reality is that no one cares if you can’t afford food or housing in most countries so benevolence is not an option for most.
I don’t love exploitative companies either (this one seems to be on the smaller side and exploring all avenues) but why would they willingly lose income that they probably rely on to live for some sort of greater good when they can just advertise in different markets especially when they’ve already done the legwork of setting up production in China. Even the most ideologically comitted business owners wouldn’t willingly lose money unless they were doing it for PR (We’re not just talking about losing out on profit at a 104% tariff rate)
If Americans didn’t make their problems everyone else’s we wouldn’t care about or comment on your politics.
Why would they when they can just sell to literally every other country on earth instead
Having to pay for basic online services for games you’ve already purchased for a current gen console is exploitative to begin with

Keep in mind this isn’t the first time Israel struck Lebanon since the start of the “ceasefire” as they have struck dozens of times since then but the first time anything came from Lebanon at all. The source was determined to be from 3 small makeshift wooden launchpads in a field by the Lebanese army.
The reporting in French I saw said “voile integral” which is niqab/burqa and I checked the bill itself and it just said face covering (excluding medical purposes)
I don’t think this law bans all hijab but just the niqab which is the one that also covers the face and is generally seen as fundamentalist in most Muslim countries. The bill itself says face and not head covering. Not to say that this entire bill isn’t driven by some level of xenophobia (Christian symbols and holidays are seen as heritage/culture while non-Christian ones are seen purely as religious etc)
Fascists can’t make good art
18-24 usually gets grouped together for census and survey stuff so you got a good year left in the tank before you’re part of the 25-44 crowd
It refers to either a limited time reward structure where you pay for the ability to earn rewards such as cosmetics or other perks in multiplayer games such Fortnite and Valorant (If you don’t earn the needed XP within the designated timeframe then you may not even get those rewards you paid for) or access to DLC content in general for both single and multiplayer games where some functionality/maps/modes are gated behind a single or recurring payment.
Some RNG manips are straight up harder than just hunting them in SV tbh. Anyone can get/buy a Pokemon Home account with 1000 genned shinies if they wanted to so it’s up to you to determine what you consider “legit”. I enjoy hitting timing required to get shinies through RNG manips so I do it. Some people think gen 9 shinies are too “cheap” and others don’t use shiny charms and only hunt full odds (but still hunt on multiple systems at once for whatever reason). It’s a weird rabbithole to go down so just do what you want. No one is going to grade your shinies.
Biden sent $8 billion in weapons immediately before he left office and Trump reversed the pause on 2,000lb bombs and sent $1 billion immediately after taking office
You clearly don’t care about whether or not 2,000lb bombs were available and in use. You just care about whether a performative gesture was made.
And they clearly never ran out of 2,000lb bombs to use. They just happened to need some more now.
Yup, he just sent them at least 14,000 of them before doing that. More than all other bombs combined according to leaks. 2000 pounds bombs were in use in September in Lebanon.
2 things to note: They want to deport him to Syria or Algeria and not to El Salvador so hopefully he remains free at least.
The judge making this assessment is part of the executive branch and not a federal judge and made it on very literal terms (spineless and ethically bankrupt but not the final decision). Secretary of state said hes is a threat to US foreign policy in writing therefore he can be deported as the law states that he can be deported if the secretary of state says he is a threat to US foreign policy.
