Making it too easy to access including morning after pills encourages promiscuous behaviour and adultery.

Why would it make it society more promiscuous than using a condom? And what happens when a condom breaks?

No. There’s no definitive evidence that they were killed by the IDF. If you have concrete evidence feel free to post it

Survivor of Be'eri Hadas Dagan disagrees. She describes the attack on her home that killed her whole family and says it was clearly IDF.

Posted in: Nikkei ends above 40,000 as yen falls to new 37-year low against dollar See in context

The yen is in the toilet because the BOJ has refused to raise rates. You can borrow yen for next to zero interest and get paid 4% if you buy US treasuries. Thats why the yen is in the toilet. Japans economic outlook hasnt fundamentally deteriorated since Covid, but the currency situation has been very poorly managed.

There is next to a zero % chance he could even live out another term. This is one of the greatest cons in the history of politics

Posted in: Japan to launch new banknotes; 1st design change in 20 years See in context

The designs are nice but the font used for the number is poor, and does not match the nice designs at all.

It is an appropriate font for what will shortly become monopoly money

Record-high women in the workplace, a major sign of late-stage capitalism.

Posted in: Biden concedes debate fumbles but declares he will defend democracy See in context

Trump came and took a big one on Biden's backyard.

Trump did nothing, and that was exactly what he needed to do. Biden destroyed himself, or rather his carers allowed him to destroy himself.

Posted in: Biden concedes debate fumbles but declares he will defend democracy See in context

Why do you think they held the debate so early? They needed to replace Biden asap.

Who will replace him though? Tough call.

Harris? Lol

Clinton? Ewww.

Bernie? Not happening.

Michele Obama? She has certainly spent enough time grifting on Netflix to become a household name. What are her politics though?

Residents on the other side can suck it up and watch the tourists with envy, like any third world country.

Japan will end up like Thailand.

Posted in: Yen slumps to upper 160 range against dollar despite intervention threat See in context

Are these "structural problems " or currency manipulation by giant players outside Japan. ?

Financial institutions can borrow vast amounts of yen at basically zero interest and buy US treasuries for 5% profit / year. The only way the yen will get any lasting relief is if the FED cuts interest rates, and the BOJ raises them.

With huge growth in the number of people working these kind of part-time gigs of course a job that pays 50% more than anywhere else will be popular. From what I have heard they also have solid career progression opportunities too.

Its 20266, an Israeli family sits around the dinner table.

Child asks of his ex IDF father

"Dad...what did you do in the war ?"

Dad replies, "Killing babies , son, oh that, as well as women and children, and old men "

You jest, but have you seen the documentary 'Tantura'? it is basically what you describe. A bunch of old Israelis who used to serve as paramlitary fighters laughing about how they killed children and raped Palestinian women.

As Douglas Murray stated at the debate the other day, You don’t get to start a war, then complain about it when you are losing

The civilian population of Gaza didnt start a war Ricky.

Posted in: Netanyahu says he won't agree to deal that ends war in Gaza See in context

Hamas will be the death of Israel, they must be stopped at all cost.

Hamas has never had the capacity to destroy Israel. Hezbollah on the other hand does, and Netanyahu wants a war with them too. The man in insane.

Last week a senior Israeli energy official made it very clear how screwed Israel would be if Hezbollah took out their energy infrastructure. Something that is well within Hezbollahs capabilities.
