At least an expensive car is usually a better product though, so many of these t-shirts are simply cheap cotton but the price is $$$$ because the logo of a company that also makes actually expensive products is on it.

This is now top of my list

They were humans pretending to be robots, these are actually robots that are being remotely controlled, rather than being fully autonomous.

If a foreign nation dropped a bomp on your house or rolled a tank down your street you might just start to side with the people saying they’re going to get them back.

Israel’s strategy can and will only lead to more Hamas support because they make no distinction between civilians and Hamas.

Just recently switched from spotify to antenna pod and can recommend it so far, especially as a lover of any app that will give you stats/graphs.
