Israel has decided to kill the negotiators representing the Palestinians so that they can continue destroying Palestinian people and their homes. Netanyahu is holding onto power by extending the war and escalating the violence. The decision of the Israelis to elect him may lead to a regional war should the country begin fighting Iran.

That’s only outside their native range. In Mexico, where they’re from, they’re pollinated by the Melipona bee. Mexico is currently 3rd place in vanilla production at 6.5%, so you’re not wrong to say the majority of vanilla plants are pollinated by hand, but they do have a natural pollinator. In theory, you could introduce the Melipona bee to areas where Vanilla has been imported to cut down the labor time/costs.

Wait, wasn’t Guantanamo Bay where the US tortured a bunch of innocent people? You’d have to be a sick/sadistic psychopath to laugh at crimes against humanity.

Two things people forget:

  1. Spanish people were the first Europeans to colonize the Americas, setting the precedent for the violence and discrimination which has continued for the last 500 years.
  2. The longest lasting Fascist country in Europe was Spain, which was fascist from 1939-1975.

Strange to see a man go to war against academics just to prove how common it is for the members of his class to steal from others, just so his wife won’t feel guilty/singled out.

They’re not the same drug. They’re related compounds. Similar how both ethanol and methanol are alcohols (related), but methanol will make you blind.

Methamphetamine is a stronger compound compared to amphetamine and can keep you awake for days at a time.

Their only actual product is their cars, and even then the newest one (the ugly truck) will need a complete redesign to meet US safety standards. Tesla demos are a dime a dozen at this point. Don’t believe the hype. Just know if it looks dumb, it is dumb and won’t actually see mass production.

Haas, a Corpus Christi native, is the author of 200 Years a Fraud, in which she disputes what she considers historical inaccuracies in Twelve Years a Slave, an 1853 memoir by Solomon Northup. In her book, Haas argues that U.S. history is overly harsh on the South and doesn't acknowledge that slavery was "a socially acceptable and economically worthwhile practice worldwide at the time our thirteen colonies arose."

The woman who campaigned against these history books has her own book which is full-on historical revisionism akin to the Daughters of the Confederacy.

This is why you shouldn’t use cloud services for personal security, because the cloud is just someone else’s computer.

When I was in university, one of the major questions of international economics was globalisation and its effects. At the time, debates on whether globalisation will bring about convergence or divergence remained inconclusive; will we be seeing cultures merging into homogeneity, or will we be celebrating plurality in aesthetics and philosophies. Ten years later, we finally have the answer.
