Domains need to be registered annually and DNS servers are needed to route traffic to them. But using an IP directly, you don’t need to worry about domain registration issues that can brick your systems, and you don’t have to worry about DNS providers knowing about your traffic (or maintaining your own private dns).

If it’s not a user trying in a memorable domain, an IP serves much better.

Easy, you’re a salaried employee and “seasonal duty: light warehouse work”

Boom, it’s part of your job.

Why are you shocked?

Oh no not AI videos! The horror. Bring back the 2,000lbs bombs on tent encampments and leaving babies to starve to death in hospitals, bring back white phosphorus on civilians, bring back normalizing dead baby pieces hanging from the rubble. But not AI videos!!!

Biden is our Hitler, and our history books will reflect that. You’re correct, the Gaza genocide is just one small chapter in the history of England and then the US colonizing Palestine.

Be consistent, if you’re able to credit him for the good things he did instead of saying he’s just building on what Trump left him, you should be able to recognize that he could have ended this genocide but refused.

Even if Trump was a good president/person and wanted to end it, there’s nothing left of Gaza for the remaining population. Biden already wiped it out.

If my argument is flawed, you should be able to point out the flaws.

Trump is just stupid. Many countries that rely on tourism do this, they have free or near free entry for citizens and ~$20-100 entry for foreigners. This helps them generate a significant portion of their annual budget.

I haven’t verified these numbers, but quick searching days that roughly 14–15 million foreign tourists visit U.S. national parks each year, accounting for about 4% of total park visits. If we charge $20 per person for international visitors, that’s $280–300 million annually… that’s… Peanuts for the US.

I wouldn’t be opposed to it at all if the fees are only used to preserve and maintain the national parks, but you know this fucker just wants to funnel the money into deep pockets.

What did I blame the Democrats for what the Republicans are doing?

Are you denying that Biden enthusiastically and fully backed the genocide?

If so, I see no point in arguing with you anymore, you’re clearly still in the American politics cult. Democrats are not your friends, they just give you the illusion of someone fighting on your behalf. They are complicit in every major shift the country took to the right.

I’ll never vote blue no matter who ever again. We are living the ongoing consequences of Biden’s ongoing genocide, and y’all are way too willing to shift all the blame to Trump and GOP.

I’m certain 1 or 2 Democrats would have broken with party line to ensure it passes, we don’t have 50 moral Democrats that can’t be bought. They didn’t need to break the illusion of being the opposition party this time.

Remember that it was under Biden that reporters were dragged out by force for asking questions about Gaza.
