Should I permanently leave Israel?

I’m not sure if this is the right community for this question, but it says “no stupid question” so here goes. I’m an Israeli who now lives in the US, but I am considering permanently residing in the US or elsewhere (perhaps somewhere in Europe or Canada) because I’ve become kinda disillusioned with Israel for a variety...

NeatNit,

It’s not super relevant but Israel doesn’t allow offshore voting, the only way to vote if you live abroad is to physically travel to Israel on voting day. (This doesn’t apply to those on official government business, like ambassadors or navy soldiers or whatnot)

Why do people throw out old motors, bicycles, anything metal into rivers and lakes instead of a junk yard or the trash system?

I have been watching magnet fishing and people love to toss stuff over bridges without a second thought on the environmental impact. Hiding evidence I can almost understand but not lawnmowers, car batteries, etc....

NeatNit,

I think there may actually be some truth to this, but I don’t know nearly enough to say so with any confidence

NeatNit,

is that even a phrase?

NeatNit,

This is mentioned in the linked article:

In the “butt” genre of wild answers, the classic is, of course, the Newlywed Game contestant who answered the prompt, “Where is the weirdest place you’ve made whoopee?” with—you guessed it—“in the ass.”

Unrelatedly, this is another instance mentioned, for which I can’t figure out the correct answer:

A Ken Jennings classic is when the Jeopardy! clue was, “The term for a long-handled gardening tool can also mean an immoral pleasure seeker,” and Jennings answered, “What is a hoe?” (Not wrong!)

Anyone?

NeatNit,

what?

NeatNit,

I genuinely can’t tell if this is really the answer google gives or if it’s just fake because this sort of bullshit answers have become a meme. AI doesn’t seem to show up for me (is it region locked?)

NeatNit,

Tarantism… is that a real phenomenon? I can’t imagine there’d be a word for it if it wasn’t a real thing, or people at least believed it was a real thing due to mass panic. But seriously, what the fuck?

NeatNit,

Yes, I was right about it being mass hysteria, but it’s interesting nonetheless

NeatNit,

To be fair, it calls then categories, not genders

NeatNit,

It won’t work with irrational numbers, or transcendental numbers even if you allow things like √2.

But honestly I have no idea what the point of this conversation even is

NeatNit,

“A human being sincere” is a nice little garden-path sentence :)

NeatNit,

I didn’t make any comment about what you’re saying, I saw your point and had nothing to add.

A garden path sentence is one where you read it wrong the first time around and have to backtrack to understand it, for example: the old man the boat.

“a human being” is normally a noun, but then it turns out “being” is actually a verb.

NeatNit,

Octal is base 8. Decimal is base A. Hexadecimal is base G. Any questions?

NeatNit,

I have heard that at least the main ingredient being advertised must be real and the actual product. So for example, in a McDonald’s commercial the patty must be an actual edible McDonald’s patty, but the vegetables and bun can be made of whatever.

NeatNit,

I hereby believe you without fact-checking, and may or may not pass this knowledge forwards, also without fact-checking.

NeatNit,

This is not an answer to the question.

NeatNit,

Digital ownership is still in legal limbo until either explicit laws or regulations are passed or someone sues and sets a precedent. Until then, companies can make up their own rules. And of course there’s the whole issue of every country in the world having to do this separately.

It’s not exactly the same question, but check out www.StopKillingGames.com for a campaign going on right now to get the attention of lawmakers and regulatory bodies worldwide (mostly in France and EU, where the chances are way higher) to fix the issue of purchased games being remotely killed by shut down servers. If you own The Crew you definitely need to check it out, but check it out regardless

NeatNit,

It’s still a continuous cost that must be maintained indefinitely after purchase, as opposed to just the upfront cost of physical media. Apples to oranges, but at the bottom line I agree that digital overhead costs less. What I disagree with is that this should necessarily mean the game should cost less to the buyer - at the end of the day you’re paying for the game, and you don’t care about the store shelf or shipping. These things don’t add value to you so the price you pay is predominantly the value of the actual game, which is identical in digital vs physical.

I’m not taking a side though, the gaming industry is the fucking worst. Steam/Valve is a scummy company that overcharges their fees simply because developers have nowhere else to turn, and this makes indie games especially untenable. They do provide a valuable service to both buyers and sellers (mostly buyers), but that’s not an excuse to be this obscenely scummy.

NeatNit,

incidentally, I’d like to cancel my parcel.

NeatNit, (edited )

they clearly meant diamonds as jewelry.

NeatNit,

Compared to their artificially inflated price. They’re obviously useful in industry - mainly for their thermal conductivity and their hardness - but their price as a jewel is complete bullshit. They’re not rare at all in nature, but one company controls all of them and uses advertising to drive up demand and public perception.

NeatNit,

it should be noted that on a home network tunnelvision is not a real risk, only on e.g. restaurants and stuff like that

NeatNit, (edited )

sorry but how is this world news

Edit: okay, apparently the sidebar says “no United States internal news” so implicitly this is fine. carry on

NeatNit,

All of them. The nonsensical overlay when he looks through the binoculars. The CGI shots of the crane that don’t remotely match the environment or look and feel of the rest of the footage. How the writing in his notebook is so obviously different in the two shots where they are visible, and how the amount scribbled/crossed out is way too much compared to the timing and audio of it. The weird bright flashes near the end that don’t seem to come from anywhere. Even the explosion doesn’t look right somehow.

NeatNit,

You definitely misread the question but personally I would love to know what you thought it was.
