Can someone enlighten me why a one-time payment of a few thousand for a bugfix is unacceptable? I feel like I'm missing something.

I kinda liked the Disney crossover thing but nomura just couldn't stick to the concept and had to dive deep in his own ass and sideline disney in favor of his own convoluted roster of charcaters

There is radical islam existing, and then there is radical islam being the dominant force it currently is.

During the cold war, the US armed and supported radical islamist factions called mujihadeen because they were opposed to the communists. This didn't help, but ofc there were other factors. When the US began its wars in the middle east in earnest, they killed a lot of people including civilians. As a consequence, they were probably the most effective recruiters for radical islam (when a foreign government kills your friends or family, you'd feel positively incluned towards fundamentalist groups fighting them too). Throughout the iraq war and the related conflicts analysts warned that us intervention was fuelling islamic terror. I was under the impression that by now this was common knowledge.

I'm perfectly ready to believe that among the many people who work for UNRWA, there are some with Hamas. However, UNRWA as an organization does not serve Hamas or their goals, and I'd need some damn good evidence to believe otherwise.

Liberalism could mean a wide variety of political positions, from left to right.

Looking at the replies it seems anarchism is about having strong yet diverging opinions on the definition of anarchism

Spending money on addressing criminogenic conditions instead of policing. It will be much less expensive in the long run, though you'll probably still need a minimal police force. Getting there is tricky though, since there's a significant time lag between implementing the change and reductions in crime. Although, a lot of current police budgets don't really go towards helping anyone so maybe you could safely redirect money to long-term solutions without sacrificing short term security.
