He already knew he could. He budged it during Avengers Age of Ultron, and he probably would have noticed it move (Thor did). But he stopped trying so he didn't embarrass both himself (by claiming to be worthy of godhood when he's a pretty humble guy) and Thor (by being just as good as him despite being mortal).

So, when the opportunity came again, it was a no-brainer. He knew he could, and he knew it'd be useful to him.

This is more of a system issue than bad behavior of an individual charity.

Charities can underpay a little bit, because working for a charity has its own appeal. But if you want a talented, experienced person to run your org, you have to consider what they could make if they worked for someone else. San Diego is not a cheap city, and has its fair share of CEO positions.

If you really want to stretch your dollar though, local food banks are probably a better bet.

No, they've been getting progressively crazier since 2016.

2000 was fairly divisive, it went to the Supreme Court after all. But it wasn't even a fraction this dramatic, people mostly shrugged and figured GWB would be like his father, which was unfortunate, but sane at any rate. Nobody was really predicting 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq.

2004 was pretty dull. John Kerry challenged GWB but felt sort of like an empty suit.

2008 was nice, Obama was a strong and exciting candidate vs the very known quantity of McCain, who was a moderate repub known for bipartisanship. Sarah Palin provided for hours of entertaining impersonations by people like Tina Fey, but since she was the VP candidate nobody really cared.

2012 was dull. Romney was a strong candidate, another moderate repub. But Obama was fine, he hadn't broken the country or anything. Brought us out of a recession, even if people were upset about bank bailouts and stuff. Lot of people got health insurance.

Then it starts getting spicy.

I mean, tbf that was admittedly last millennium.

"If I have to create stories so that ~~the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people~~ we win, then that's what I'm going to do."

Yea, we already knew that JD, thanks.

Eh, there's one additional way we can stop them. A landslide victory that puts her massively over the electoral college threshold would make a handful of compromised counties completely irrelevant.

lol This is almost as good as getting him to say out loud that he's never had sexual relations with any living room furniture.

Just glad they're not messing around with this one, and went ahead with the three charges of first degree murder.

Whoever added the citations to this is doing extremely important work. It needs to be finished though.

Ah, LinkedIn, exactly where I want to get nuanced answers to weird questions from.

Israel's survival is not threatened by anything short of large-scale pre-emptive Iranian nuclear barrage, or civil war.

Claiming your actions are necessary for survival is a very old trick, commonly used by authoritarian regimes as a convenient excuse.

Have to admit, Extinction Rebellion is a pretty good name for an activist group.
