This sounds like something you could fix with practice. Maybe try reading books out loud. People with pleasant voices can also make audio books, although I don't know how much they pay.

A cotton t-shirt has a SPF of about 6. It will help, but we can do better, even without melanin-infused clothing.

There are also UV transparent bikinis, for tanning without tan lines or nudity.

I don't think it's that complicated. If he has security clearance, there are certain things he can't say. If he doesn't have it, he can complain all day long about how the Liberals are hiding information. The guy has been in the public sector since he graduated, there aren't too many secrets there.

Doesn't make jaywalking on a racetrack a brilliant idea.

This wouldn't be the first time a Supreme Court ruling was ignored, but it hasn't been for a long time and it was never easy.

The text says deficient in fat and carbohydrates. I'm pretty sure they mean it only happens when you don't have enough of either, not that carbs are an essential nutrient.

A 9v battery powered skateboard is viable if you pick the right combination of weight, speed, and distance. Doesn't mean it's going to change the world.

Assuming all of this is true, and I'm not saying it isn't, how does that in any way refute what I said? Sure, call it victim blaming if you want. I'm very careful when I have to go into bad parts of town at bad times, and avoid them altogether when I can because, even if I'm not doing anything wrong, that's cold comfort when I'm lying in a hospital or a morgue. So far it's worked pretty well for me. I suppose that makes me a perpetual victim. Sure, it shouldn't have to be that way, but I don't think my being mugged or murdered is going to tip the scales and I don't have any great desire to be a poster child.

If I support and aid someone who I know is committing atrocities, I hold some amount of responsibility. Netanyahu has put himself in that position with respect to Hamas.

And in a better world, I'd agree with you. But when Isreal spends a decade or more propping them up, well, that's how it goes.

I agree that removing Hamas would make it far easier for there to be a peaceful solution. Unfortunately, Israel and Netanyahu took that option off the table a long time ago. If they don't like that they should have thought about the consequences of their actions. The PLA was willing to negotiate and that didn't work for them. Hamas is far less willing to peacefully negotiate, which gave Israel a handy whipping boy for not resolving this peacefully. Now people are dying and they claim to be the wronged party, when in fact both parties have wronged each other for hundreds or thousands of years.

If you sow the wind, you reap the whirlwind. Unfortunate that it's messy for everyone around them.
