Israel has labeled BDS, the actual peaceful option, terrorism.
There is a legal, regulated, mostly safe method to buy cigarettes. It is inaccessible if you are under a certain age, but only the seller/provider is punished for violating regulations. It’s okay to have restrictions on what children can consume.
While current laws on illegal drugs do not work, arguing against any regulation whatsoever is similarly silly, the laws obviously work. Smoking rates have dramatically declined since those laws and public education campaigns began.
As someone who grew up with those stories, I’m also curious what are considered space battles since I don’t recall any.
OP said coworker, which I think most people missed. If you’re privileged enough to quit your job over a coworker’s political opinion, more power to you, I guess. I think that’s letting the fascists win, since you’ve literally ceded ground. But I believe OP is looking for constructive solutions to discuss politics with a coworker to preserve the relationship, likely both for their sanity at work and because there’s other things about the person they like.
While I like the sentiment, it doesn’t actually address OP’s question. My guess is OP also hates fascists but has trouble discussing their opinions on politics with their fasc-curious friend for whatever reason, whether it’s because they want to preserve the relationship or generally have trouble keeping up in a back and forth (which is totally fine, being quick-witted is not a requirement to hate fascists). What are your tips for approaching the conversation?
Hopefully not too many repeats from what others said.

I agree, season 9 gets way too much hate for basically being season 1 of a spinoff. There’s a lot to like there and it never really had a chance to find itself before cancelation.
Or just wear a stillsuit.
To be fair, unless the act itself is interfering in your daily life, the real problem is probably porn addiction.
It’s supposed to imply resources for the humans in the company as opposed to corporate resources.
You mean the rumored several alternatives, that I asked you to elaborate on, and you told me to Google? Yes, clearly you listed specifics.
That vatnik is a troll, astroturfing for the Russian government, or an idiot. Whatever it is, really not worth engaging.
Oh fascinating, the top response is working for a subscription-based publication that has editorial staff and pays them. The second is freelancing for a subscription-based publication by selling articles to them. Wow.
Do tell.
Either it’s not paywalled for them or it’s still good journalism and maybe journalists shouldn’t work for free.
Mix of both light and deeper shows here, mostly character-driven:
Scrubs - Show about a group of residents at a hospital navigating their first few years of training.
Cougar Town - Show about 40somethings in western Florida, the name has nothing to do with the show after the first five or ten episodes. Same creator as Scrubs. Focuses on the core group navigating life at 40 in Florida and their ridiculousness.
Community - Show about a community college in Colorado that gets increasingly experimental in its story telling. Show focuses on the antics of the core group.
Better Off Ted - Another show about 40somethings, this time in the corporate world. The name, like Cougar Town, has almost nothing to do with the actual show. Focuses on how this group tries to keep ahead of their soul crushing jobs for a corporation that’s literally evil.
Happy Endings - This time about 30somethings in Chicago who are all friends, two of whom are about to get married when the bride runs away at the altar. Really turns into putting this group into various scenarios to see how it plays out.
New Girl - Show about a teacher in LA who moves into a loft with three guys (sometimes a fourth) and their subsequent misadventures in the city.
30 Rock - Show about the cast and crew of an SNL-style variety show airing weekly on NBC out of 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York, grows increasingly absurdist over times.
Arrested Development - About the son of a real estate tycoon who gets arrested for so many crimes and how he tries to keep the family business going despite the incompetence of the rest of the family (and occasionally his own incompetence).
Bored to Death - About a writer who solves mysteries with his publisher and best friend (two different people).
Only Murders in the Building - Show about three residents, two older and one younger, of a classic New York residential building that discover they like the same murder mystery podcasts and then start their own true crime podcasts when they discover a murder occurred in their building.
Veep - About a put-upon Vice President of the United States and the general incompetence of her office and the administration. Surprisingly insightful satire of the actual executive branch in the United States.
Silicon Valley - Show about a group of guys in Silicon Valley and their VC partners trying to build a startup.
Happy to recommend more if you’ve got something more specific you’re into.
I get you. There’s good and bad in law enforcement, especially when it comes to tech and social media. On the one hand, there’s pretty serious crime happening online that needs to be stopped. On the other, wild invasions of privacy. There’s no easy answer at this point and governments obviously won’t police themselves.
You don’t need motive to convict. Just the correct mental state (mens rea) and the commission of the relevant elements (actus reus). Motive helps, but it’s not necessary.
But a DDOS attack would probably fall under the CFAA, possibly some other criminal statutes depending on the facts.
It’s very common for teens to be impulsive and reckless because they’re basically biologically programmed to be so. It’s not something they can control, really, it’s something they’re experiencing. If you didn’t go through that, it’s all good, probably safer frankly, but it’s not like people are aberrant for being reckless while maturing.
