    I'm guessing that the intention is "If Israel can handle missiles from Lebanon and Gaza, why can't they handle 10 times the normal amount from Iran.
    It's a numbers game , and w/o the US and Jordan helping to intercept them , the civilian damage would be much much much more extensive; and only one of these 2 can be true - Iran has terrible terrible terrible aim, or they targeted civilians.

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as GNU, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, LINUX plus GNU. GNU is just one replacable suite of libraries ,not an operating system unto itself. It is but another free component of a fully functioning Linux system made useful by the vastly complicated hardware to software communication protocols. Shell utilities and "vital system components", are not enough to be called a full OS , as much as some 80s guys that created POSIX would like it to be.

    While "erase Gaza" is a correct translation , the "leave it to us" part isn't. A better translation is "leave us be" ie GTFO Bibi.

    If proper CPR involves compressing the chest so much such that the ribcage might break - doesnt that breakage risks a bone puncturing the heart?

    At age 16, against my normal nature , I've asked out my then crush who was my schoolmate. (In retrospect, it was only sexual attraction, cause her personality was abysmal..) I say "ask out" but it was one of the childish "wanna be my gf" sort of thing. I didn't have (nor do I have now) "game". My only valid pretense for hanging with her , and not actually planning a date, was studying together for tests. Neverthelesss, the excitement and the rush after she showed interest in me was overwhelming , and I spiraled out of control. I became clingy , needed and over the top in love. It all came crashing down when I saw her avoiding me while looking afraid and creeped out. That face is burned into my retina, and all I can think about when I even think about stepping into that arena again. I'm 31 now, still painfully alone - but with the added bonus of feeling like expired milk and overrun with anxiety and depression. I'm telling myself again and again that I'm doing the best with the cards I've been dealt with , and partnership or intimacy is just not one of those cards. I try to keep busy and focus on work - because one moment of boredom sends me to a variety of really dark places. I know that some day the pattern of eat-sleep-job-repeat won't be enough, but I'm repressing that thought like hell right now. Thank you guys for creating this sub BTW, much needed.
