Apparently, the head of the theater apologized and decided to let the Jewish school's graduation happen, although they have to reschedule.
Although I would be pissed as hell if I ran that school and would probably look for another venue if time allowed. These people sound like antisemitic asshats trying to cover their asses.

Lefty here (at least that's what one been called by Conservatives who know me): I don't support Israeli apartheid of Palestinians and I don't support the antisemitism shown here.
Please don't speak for me.

This specifically? I don't know.
The point I'm making is a more general one though, because this is hardly the first event of its kind, and FAR from being the first instance of legitimate antisemitism in recent years.
But to give you a general idea... in the wake of October 7th, there were *plenty* of groups earnestly and unironically calling the attack an act of "legimitimate resistance". And I'm not even talking about terminally online slacktivists. There was literally a leader of a huge union in Canada that said something to that effect *days* after the attack (i.e. well before any Israeli response).
If the attack gets that kind of apologism, what do you think those people make of things like this?

It depends on which DEI initiatives you're speaking about. You're correct about affirmative action and etc, but that's only one type of DEI. The kind I'm involved with involves initiatives like educating people about aspects of other people's identities that they might be ignorant about, or advocating for minorities who are facing discrimination such as being prevented from taking off work for a culturally significant holiday. This *absolutely* includes all non-white people, including light-skinned east asians. But it tends to exclude, unless a big stink is made, anyone who is white-passing, because there's this persistent idea that you're "more" a certain minority group if your skin is darker. And that's not how that works. You face more discrimination, sure, that's where intersectionality comes into play. But you're not "more Peruvian" or "more Navajo" than your sister just because the genetic dice caused your skin to come out a few shades darker, and you're both subject to the same shitty issues when your culture isn't being respected.

Israel has been turned into some pure evil entity by Muslim world propaganda that a very large number of westerners have fallen for (including a majority in Europe) and it couldn't be further from the truth.

Don't have to go that far back for France. Modern Zionism really boomed because the normally tolerant French took the mask off during the Dreyfus affair. When a French Jewish officer was falsely convicted of treason and forced into life imprisonment on a penal colony. When the real culprit, a Catholic Frenchman named Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy, was found, they buried all the evidence proving Dreyfus innocent and acquitted Esterhazy of all charges.
It took over a decade for Dreyfus to be cleared of all charges even after Esterhazy fled the country and publicly admitted it was him 3 years into Dreyfus' sentence.

Everyone else is doing a good enough job at the rest of this comment. But you're a brainwashed moron if you think the goal of this war is to annex Gaza. Militarily occupy it for a while after this is done - obviously necessary. But Israel has never wanted this place (despite historical Jewish presence), nor even does Egypt want it (they administered it for a while and said "bye" as soon as they could), and Israel completely left on their own will in 2005. Hamas started this conflict by massacring 1200 people and taking over 200 hostage, in case your memory is really that fucking short.

"anti-discrimination laws", like "hate speech laws", provide little more than an opportunity for a limited group of people to use their discretion on the matter and often have little to no ability protect minority interests. In other words, if enough people agree with the offense, it simply won't be considered one.
I'm not well versed in politics outside the US, but it seems like the inmates are running the asylum in most places, so I remain concerned.

The good news is the school sent a cc to the prime minister in their letter, and basically got the European Jewish Association to demand her resignation and cut off subsidies to the theatre on the basis of public funding of a discriminatory institution.
The theatre's director, called Lana Willems, apologised, said she made a mistake (like a thief saying sorry after they get caught...) and said she hoped the school would come back in the future. I doubt she will ever work again, the backlash has been quick and strong.

Russia cannot win in a conventional conflict against NATO, it will also lose in a nuclear conflict against NATO as well, however, in a nuclear conflict both NATO and Russia will
lose.
I'm not worried about Russia attacking NATO out of the blue, I'm worried about Russia doing something that NATO has drawn a firm line in the sand against like using a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine or a large chemical warfare attack against a Ukrainian population center.
In which where NATO holds up to its word and takes out every Russian military asset in Ukrainian territory- I'm worried what Russia's retaliation against that move will be, because then I can see Russia attacking a NATO country and basically hold the world hostage- like nuking Brussles in retaliation and threaten all out mass nuclear launches against all population centers in nato countries if any NATO retaliation continues.
Where do we go from there?
I also somewhat worry about a mistake, a stray missile hitting NATO ground, or a nuclear power plant gets hit/ melts down and the drifting contamination makes NATO to decide to enact article 5.

Hindsight is always 20-20 and most media looks worse with age. I enjoy the series too, but the strength and clarity of Kojima's politics have been greatly overhyped.
Another thing that is dumb is how Big Boss is supposed to be a hero for wanting to carve out a country just for soldiers. It's something you'd write if you bought into a very far-right narrative of Japanese history, and truly believed the best possible government would be if the samurai were always the ruling class. And then Big Boss could be the shogun and make his direct descendants his heirs while everyone else had to admire their greatness.

Agreed. It also cracks me up to read about countries, increasing number of nukes, as a way to deter others.
Obviously the world needs more nukes.

I grant they're no where near as fucked as a lot of Reddit likes to make out, but a global superpower invading a non-NATO member over flat ground which at the time of invas5had no Western support, should have been the stated "three days to take Kiev" outcome. Most Western military leaders assumed this would be the case.
They're not useless in terms of holding a 1500km front line for two years and making occasional advances, but they're also not realistically moving forward and occasionally getting pushed back, so the front has basically stalled.
It presents a new and unique problem for us in the West because we have no idea how to realistically handle this. On the one hand we could easily push Russia back in a matter of days if we gave Ukraine full NATO "boots on the ground" support, but it would be so rapid and chaotic (war is never as simple as fancy maps on the news make out) it would likely lead to total panic in the Kremlin and small nuclear exchanges within a day or two, which within a matter of hours would lead to global nuclear war.
It might _not_ happen like that, but it's an enormous risk, the biggest risk humanity ever took, to save one country that is in no real or imminent danger of falling. Hence the ongoing military aid, the bolstering of defences and spending in Europe, and messages like this from Stoltenberg.
This isn't so much the start of WW3, but a marked return to Cold War thinking - "we're not about to kick you into the middle of next week because we know that would destroy us all, but we want to remind you that _could_ happen."

If I had to choose between a decade of warfare and hardship or a decade of keeping my head down while I continue to live a relatively normal life I'm not ashamed to admit I would probably pick the latter...
But then I am a pragmatic optimist who's spent enough time socializing online with Russians who's lives seemed eerily similar to my own (eat sleep, work at jobs they hate for one reason or another, complain about their landlords, play video games to escape, vote in elections where nothing ever changes) that I don't think much in my life would change (assuming we capitulate quickly)

Russia's war in Ukraine is ostensibly like if the United States tried to invade Colorado... and 2 1/2 years in they simply can't get it done. I mean... I don't know if you're just JAQing off, or if it's just part of your username gag, or what. But uh, Russia has been on the metaphorical backfoot since day 4 of their 3 day "specially military operation."

Depends. Is the war purely about control of territory or are their darker ethnic / racial / religious overtones to it? Is it a lines of map war or is it a 'I want your people gone' war? The latter you must fight, the former the cynics (myself included) can and will argue is useless and all about ego.
Democracy vs Authoritarianism is hard to argue when you realize they both rely on populism and will both probably lead us to climate collapse and the death of millions (if not billions).

I mean the silo thing is what they call “the sponge” — It’s so that if there ever was an attack from a China or a Russia, most of the first wave would hit the Rockies/Midwest where no one lives and would give time for the United States to respond.

>Do higher yield options reduce fallout, or is only a tiny fraction burned regardless?
The majority of the power of modern nuclear warheads is produced via fusion which has basically zero fallout. It is the fission trigger that will produce a small amount of fallout - if I remember right a megaton+ thermonuclear warhead has roughly 7kt equivalent of plutonium for its trigger.

Bombers can serve as both a first- and second-strike weapon. For example, a bomber armed with AGM-129 ACM missiles could be classified as a first-strike weapon and bombers that are classified as needing an aerial refueling aircraft to strike targets would constitute as a second-strike weapon. almost every plane in the united states inventory can deliver nuclear weapons, thus making it almost impossible to entirely take them out because they are so dispersed.

US Navy ballistic missile submarines are ordered to surface at periodic intervals to receive communications indicating that no change has occurred in the defense condition. Should the submarines be unable to receive the proper command and control signals indicating normal, peacetime conditions, their orders would be to launch their nuclear missiles under the assumption that command and control structures had been destroyed in a nuclear attack and that retaliation was therefore necessary. All available means of verification and all due caution would naturally be applied. This approach is obviously exceptionally dangerous for a variety of reasons, as any benign communications disruption due to technical failure could conceivably incite a completely unnecessary nuclear war. The strategy's intended value lies in deterrence against attack on command, control, communications, and computer (see C4I) networks by any potential adversary.

To the extent MAD works, and will continue to work, it really does have to be "assured". Mutually Probable Destruction is, ironically, a lot more dangerous. Everyone in the situation has to be sure that if they pull the trigger then the very next thing that happens is they are vaporized.
Ukraine is a touchy situation because it's not NATO aligned so it's not clear MAD applies at all. Putin could kick things up by saying "evacuate Odessa because we're going to level it with a nuke, if you don't surrender we'll systematically destroy every Ukrainian city".

Same, due to my physical disability I'm only ably to survive due to how stable our civilization is (healthcare, infrastructure, access to technology and economy). In a post-apocalyptic civilization all that is gone or very scarce. So I rather evaporate in a glorious blaze of nuclear fire than the slow, painful death that would await me otherwise.

Imagine how different things work out if the stupid little mask gets ripped off. If a person honestly and proudly believes in something, they will say it with their face unmasked. The cute thing is with the amount of computer analytics that is present and growing, they will be able to figure out who these masked lone riders are from their voice print. Fortunately or unfortunately, everything is being recorded. If it is important enough they will be able to figure out who all these stupid parrots are.
That said, 95% of these weasels will blend into the woodwork a year or two from now. They may or may not take silent joy in the borderline Nazi bullshit they were spewing, but they will be silent as a mouse if anyone asks about it.
