Most of the cost is likely written off by the companies providing tickets and travel, possibly even the hotel. So really this is probably just a Disney+airlines partner up for a charity that costs the schools a minimal amount (travel+ticket for chaperones, 1 per 10 children.)

It gives kids who basically have no childhood a way to actually feel like a kid. That’s still very important. Especially when we waste much more money on things that we convince ourselves are better, that are very often useless.

Thanks. Knew about the original, hadn’t heard of the new scam. That sucks and feel bad for the guy can’t imagine people are being rational about it with how bad it was the first time.

You mean… the literal focus areas of the great green wall is turning green after almost 20 years of work?

Like, yeah storms are pushing in where maybe they shouldn’t but also this is shit multiple countries full of people have been working at since 2007.

Saying something and actually doing something are two different things. No goalpost moved. People want actions to support the ceasefire, not words. Not pretend negotiations that we let Israel poison pill and sink continuously. We have leverage, we just refuse to use it. That is people’s problem with what is going on. Biden words have been completely hollow. If he followed through people would be stoked. It even looked like maybe he was serious almost but that was proved to be wrong, which is why people are rightfully upset.

There’s still hope maybe it happens eventually, but yeah idk man it’s wild you’re happy to watch millions get fucking genocided, entire cities fucking buried, because other guy would let it happen slightly faster.

I mean, going above congress to still send arms to Israel while allowing them to continually sink negotiations for a ceasefire is not doing much to actually support it other than in name. They want actual action, not political theatre dems are known for. Like at the DNC Kamala starting by saying she will always support Israel. Then saying “oh and uh Palestine shouldn’t be completely murdered” to give the bare minimum. But hey, at least she did the bare minimum? Enough to allow some to still hold their nose and vote, though some will still hold out for better than that.

Even still, Green and PSL are what, 0.3% of the vote? Not even a third of a percent. You act like they are more to blame than the 47% republucan vote? So busy trying to turn progressives into an enemy, cuz you know, that’s what it’s gotta be right? Politics always has to be your team wins and everyone else is evil, cuz how else could you win as the lesser evil. lol. Fucking god. Let people push for the DNC to be more progressive, a third of a percent is a lot better than the 1.18% who vote libertarian. But having the DNC make people WANT to vote for them and get some of those ~40% who don’t vote would be good. A lot more good than 0.3% who will vote for someone more progressive.

Just a quick search, knew it was California, couldn’t remember if Texas did or did not. The answer is they are supposed to but suck at it. So… 2/50 require reporting when a cop kills someone.

To be fair, the literal same is true of cops killing people. Not a stat legally required to be recorded in many states. Which is fucking insane.

Edit: posted below, only California and Texas have to report fatal use of force.

So, to be fair, you're paid for your service of creating the art, not for the copyrighted material. I would think that is different than to creating a piece based on copyrighted material and then selling the finished art. Anyways, Bungie does not get ownership of their art, just the ability to sue for profits they make from selling it and/or damages, at best, If they can prove it violated copyright and it is not transformative/under fair use.

Also... while I'm here... god why white and orange it looks so bad, doesn't match what is in game, and just... no.
