PS3: Islam never claims to be "the religion of peace;" this phrase was created by Westerners for a variety of reasons, so like what?
As a westerner, I could buy that this is just a piece of propaganda I've just heard too many times, but it seems like I've heard immigrants from Muslim majority countries say this as well.
Probably a stretch to ask (so no worries if you can't provide) but can you point to any resources agreeing with your claim on this?

I get y'all are beefing hard here, but this has been one of the most fascinating threads I've read in a while. While I'm sure neither of you are happy at the exchange, I am very happy about it and thank you for giving me more info about a place I've spent 0% of my life thinking about.
Oh so instead of white pawn takes black rook, you'd go white rook to g8.
This forces black king to f7. White rook takes black rook, putting black in check.
Black king can escape (which then has white rook takes black queen) or black queen takes white rook (with pawn taking queen and promoting).
Either way blood bath ensues, probably leaving white up some pieces for the exchange. Mkay, I think I see.
I don't know how to read real chess moves.
But black queen must take (new) white queen.
It then seems foolish for white queen to take black queen, since black king must take white queen.
With the board state, white might find it advantageous to exchange queens with his board state, but I think white pushing white queen forward to take the black pawn in front of it would be the better move.
Little of both as I understand it.
Privacy sandbox had some sketchy innovations that would let google track people (but would make third party tracking harder).
There was some legit good things they were pushing and cookies (as they existed at the start of the initiative) were very flawed in their implementation. Some things have become better kind of on their own.
Overall, we're probably best off that they started the initiative, inspired other privacy changes (outside privacy sandbox), and then ultimately gave in before "completing" the project.
It appears to be a widely circulated fan art, appearing on her page of the Fandom Wiki (though Tetsuya Nomura may be an official artist for FFX).
Point is that its accredited to an artist, so it would seem the missing teeth was intentional?
Oh, I thought this was going to be about the trading cards they implemented in steam. Those are so lame and cheap I wasn't bothered by this.
For any non-readers-of-articles, this is about a loot box mechanic added to counterstrike (which is fair criticism imho)
In addition to other comments, its my understanding it was used more as an Axe (for chopping up shields)
Not to come off as a confederate sympathizer, but I'm moderately certain they'd have has some rules about needing a quorum of elected representatives or some such.
So Harry Turtledove's Worldwar series explores an invasion of Earth by small ish reptilian aliens.
My head canon for the aliens and they're differences in culture from humans is that they basically came from pre-meteor Earth and evolved from real velociraptors (which as I understand, were actually only about 3 ft/1 m tall, and were considered the most intelligent/pack forming dinos of their time).
Its an interesting series (if something of a bizarre premise).
I'm a tech interested guy. I've touched SQL once or twice, but wasn't able to really make sense of it. That combined with not having a practical use leaves SQL as largely a black box in my mind (though I am somewhat familiar with technical concepts in databasing).
With that, I keep seeing [pic related] as proof that Elon Musk doesn't understand SQL.
Can someone give me a technical explanation for how one would come to that conclusion? I'd love if you could pass technical documentation for that.
IIRC, there's 2 that do that explicitly - I want to say it was Texas and North Carolina, but I can't be bothered to double check that.
Edit: was bothered by my lack of "bringing the reciepts" in my own comment. It appears 5 of the confederate States called out slavery in their articles of succession (tried to do a quick double check, but jfc did GA have a really long winded one and I ain't got time for that right now)
