Where I’m from (France) this is how you pay deposits for rentals.

We also have “bank cheques” for big expenses like houses.

Paying with cheques in regular shops is getting rarer, often requires providing two ID, and gets you weird looks. Debit cards have mostly replaced that usage.

We don’t really have credit cards afaik.

Yeah this one is pretty niche nowadays.

I did it for my nephews because I found it funny to give them time capsules of what kind of music was broadcasted when they were born. And cassettes are a good medium for long time storage :p

Yeah I was thinking about renting physical copies not streaming.

I’d count digital ones as well.

That’s how I didn’t get the point since none of my leatherback encyclopedias is a complete set (yay backyard sales).

Like a getting movies in a public library can count as renting at Blockbusters imho?

0 points if you count public libraries as “blockbuster adjacent” and I’m only a year older than you.

I’d assume it’s the floppy one but same lol

Same and I’m not even 30 ^^`

What’s the thing you’ve never done?

Only that their aim, living in their own country can be seen as political.

I’d say it is political. As much as any other human rights are.

If anything, the US/Isntreal military ticks all the boxes.

Amen

OK, but terrorism is most certainly not a neutral term.

I agree it isn’t in the cultural zeitgeist. But I’m genuinely trying to argue that it kinda should be.

e.g. the IRA were based terrorists.

Is it partly because it involves targeting civilians? Of course.

Is it because it can be effective in the context of asymmetric warfare? I’d say probably.

I think you’re missing my point and that we pretty much agree beside some semantics.

What I meant is that terrorism is a somewhat neutral term for me.

Luigi Mangione, the IRA, or even the resistance against Nazis during WWII were terrorists imho. But would I say any of these are evil? Fuck no.

What makes it ok or evil is why you do it.

How is it not terrorism?

Using violence on civilians to further political goals.

What Israel is doing is terrorism too.

One can be seen as self defence and the last resort beside being deported or killed. The other is to pacify a population that’s being genocided.

The jews were very much a main quest.

Alongside the slavs, romani, gays, etc

The only times when he doesn’t lie is when he says he’s gonna do smth awful tho.

I tried explaining to a SO why stappling bread to trees was funny or why “Cat.” was peak humor.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone questioning my sanity and theirs by association this clearly in any other conversation.

Oh no there’s a bear in my bed!

“The young ones are lacking conservative quality that we had” - Every old cohort going back through time

Ah the duality of humans :p

That they will burn in hell all the people there.

Which is weird on top of the cruelty. Judaism doesn’t have a hell like Christianity does.

How do you use halloumi during your routine?
