RICHARD DAWKINS ❤ CANCEL CULTURE (or not)
Difficult because they had already inextricably embedded themselves into the UK/US corridors of power in the 50 to 60 years before the 1948 extermination of the non-compliant residents of Palestine. Prominent non-Zionist Jews that resisted were assassinated on the way as well prior to that day.

RICHARD DAWKINS ❤ CANCEL CULTURE (or not)
Anti-Semitism, as a concept, was invented by Zionists around the late 19th century. Prior to that, native Palestinians, which includes Jews and other denominations, got on just fine as a collective. It was necessary for the Zionist-aspirants to create ethnic/religious conflicts in order to achieve their mono-cultural, exclusionary, fascist goals.

Curious device
Some are, some aren't. I suppose the alloy mix changes periodically with new editions. The bimetallic ones are fairly weakly attracted. Generally, the coppers that attract are very hard to pull off. It It might be a security feature by the Royal Mint to mix up each yearly edition in terms of magnetism to combat counterfeits. I doubt the bimetallics could be pulled in from a water as it's too weak. There may be magnetic 50p's, but not in my change

LOL! It's interesting how much low value coinage gets thrown into lakes. I suppose people are seeing how many skips they can get a coin to do across the surface.

Yep, they are very strong. I bought one for magnetic fishing. When attracted to something they slam HARD!

Perhaps experiment with different colour backgrounds in your visual field when you need relief. It doesn't solve the problem but might give you a rest to look at if you can find a background colour that seems to attenuate the effect. If I look up at a blue sky, I see all sorts but mainly faint capillaries interrupting my vision. Some people call them 'worms'.

Experience: Wig?
I imagine the expensive ones are human-sourced and cheaper ones probably synthetic.

Should TikTok Be Banned in the US?
Apparently, Trump has just joined TikTok. I guess they will become a "GREAT, AWESOME CHINESE COMPANY!!!!! GOOD FOR AMERICA!!!!" if he gets back in.

Peanut butter...
Probably synthetic preservatives.

Experience: Wig?
I suggest shaving your head to stubble or bare and then letting it grow to a point that feels ok to you. Once you've found a length you can live with, maintain it at that and accept this is the new 'you'. You may feel your present hair pattern is an elephant of a problem, but it's just your mind hyperfocusing on it and making it the only thing that matters. Trying to fix it with wigs and combovers will just savage your confidence in the long run. Yul Brynner and Telly Savalas seem to have had a happy life without hair on their heads. Although I still have hair, I go Kojak quite often. It's an alternate look, not a worse one.

Peanut butter...
If it's heat-treated prior to filling whilst hot, the partial vacuum in the residual space after cooling will arrest the spoiling process for some time. This is lost once it is open ed. This is how the general canning process works as well. I'm guessing that peanut butter in plastic jars are chemically preserved, since the container would deform with heat.

Could it be a laboratory specimen sample of some sort and IPA is being used as preservative/carrier?- Trump Guilty

If this is because you think Jews are historically maligned, Zionists are gradually being cognitively separated from Orthodox Judaism in public discourse by practicing Torah-respecting Jews and other objective historians. The focus for the dischord is gradually on the latter who, in the opinion of many Orthodox Jews, are the prime instigators of the geopolitical issues since the 1890's. On the OP, it is probably because there was cultural disposition towards academic pursuits.- Trump Guilty
I actually started to have a modicum of respect for Hayley when she stood up to Trump. Seeing her sign US bombs on a pallet in Israel, and simultaneously seeing children in various states of bodily mutilation from US weaponry, has put her down the ethical toilet, as far as I'm concerned. She's on par with the worst Zionists. This is not intended for the conversation to segue into that debacle.- Trump Guilty
In a sophisticated society, ostensibly the most advanced country on the planet, having an openly partisan judicial system should not be leader of the free world. It seems, even as a convicted felon, he could be POTUS. That is a travesty.- What can and should be done to address the world overpopulation crisis?
That's good to hear, Seth. It's how people say things and in what context... it can be done to any description. Tone matters. 'Bushman', 'Aborigine', 'Bedouin' et al are never used by me in a negative context. I have great respect for those that function in harsh environments, productively using what they have available. If you see me using them, it is always with respect. I do not consider those groups as lower in social status that have less resources available. Mongolians have the same problem, it seems. I don't ever want them to stop calling themselves 'Mongolians' because it is seen as derogatory.- What can and should be done to address the world overpopulation crisis?
Absolutely. When we finally fuck it up, we'll be asking these people how to work with these incredibly fragile environments. They are not wastelands. I've never considered 'Bush Man' to be derogatory term and wasn't aware it was such until now. Sad. - Political Humor
