Thank you! However I do disagree with one point you've made here; I do not consider my case an "extreme" case. It's just antithetical to the US' vision. Which is kind of my point.

Iran could say the exact same thing about why they would be stockpiling weapons. And we (west) call bullshit. I'm calling bullshit on both.

But why would a country have to be "better" or "worse"? Why consider anything else besides stockpiling weapons, after all it's the key to peace, right?

Destroying Gaza itself is not the goal. It's destroying the people that's the goal. So that other people can occupy that land. And that is being accomplished with old, new, weapons, and with the "weapon" of withholding aid as well.

Maybe I'm from Iran. Maybe not. Maybe I'm from a country that Iran doesn't call for the destruction of. It's hypothetical. Let's say hypothetically, I'm not committing treason, I'm just building missiles for Iran - helping to guarantee peace by stockpiling weapons! It's for peace, after all.

So if I go and work for Iran's missile program it's fair game then right?

Best guarantor of peace is their large stockpile of weapons too.

Fonts do always look way better on Chrome. I can't explain it.

Xanax is a benzodiazepine. You get "high" when taking just barely more than instructed. It's addictive. It's abused frequently. I've abused it before. It feels nice.

I would be surprised if you asked your GP "I have mental breakdowns now and then, I'd like some Xanax", and they just handed it out to you. Then again, I don't live in the US, so maybe the doctors there do just dish it out.

Is this NPD's "IP" though? Is my personal information that company scraped, now that company's intellectual property?

Wait what? Do you seriously need bold fonts in your terminal? I find them annoying. I would much prefer a single weight.

I'm Australian and I've never heard a corner shop be referred to as a Milk Bar. I'm relatively young too though. Could be that.

Depending on how religiously pious the man is, he may not even look at her eyes.

I'm way out of my depth here, but I think this comparison to the birds of paradise feathers makes the most sense in terms of me visualising what Nxylon would look like with a thin metallic coating

I'd never heard of this. Looks very very interesting!

I'd be keen to know Filippo's (age creator) opinion on this, if he has any.

Given their track record, I do believe you.
