Okay, that explains Trump, but Biden?

We stayed up to watch it here across the pond, made it to 10 minutes.

Seriously, WTF is going on over there? How are these two people the top candidates to represent 380 million people?

In either case, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy, since only the poor would remain in a food desert, if you have money, you have options.

Sorry you had to find out this way

Some people have it as their only choice due to living in a food desert. Imagine how fucked up is that.

So if I understand correctly, the reason it’s outdated is not because we don’t need those pesky banking regulations any more, but that it has been found that banks will just take out their own loans to cover the reserves they need from the central bank, so they can just lend as much as they want, no seatbelts. And the central bank will never run out of loans to give, since they have insane reserves, in their own currency it is technically unlimited.

So money is not really the thing we think it is. If banks overextend themselves and fuck up, the only thing we’ll see instead of failing banks is runaway inflation in the consumer and asset (housing) markets. Wonder where I’ve seen that.

That’s my point, I always have a reasonable suspicion of anything I get from the Internet, but I don’t trust any site just because some underpaid functionary or corporate employee in its respective country said it’s good.

And yet if not for his actions, it would have never come to light that the US military murdered a bunch of innocent people including Reuters journalists in 2007. I know it sucks how Wikileaks curates info, and ideally this should be handled in a way that’s less exploitable by foreign governments, but to me, it seems they are vigilantes doing stuff because the US justice system wouldn’t.

I mean, look at the Trump prosecution. If you had proof of the DNC doing its antidemocratic shit to prevent anyone who is not in big corp pockets getting elected, does the Trump prosecution inspire confidence that if you just made a police report, anything would happen?

So what are trustworthy TLDs?

It means, at least in the golang world, that they keep a copy of your source for themselves and use it for builds. They don’t pull from the public repo every time they build their stuff, so malicious code could only get in with new versions, but they check for that.

Are they independent from the cancerous management though?

It’s kinda fucked up that each major political camp denies some genocide. Like we could replace who you vote for with which genocide was a shamocide?

hordes of protesters and lines of cops

Wonder which side is being taken here…

“2020 snuck up on us,” Snelling acknowledged in a recent Tribune interview. “Let’s tell the cold, hard truth. We did not have the level of preparedness to deal with something that was that random that popped up on us.”

“We were murdering people so often on the street in broad daylight, we didn’t know it would be that one specific murder that has some repercussions.”

F-Droid could go through it, the thing that is prohibited is for Google to bar them just because they are a competitor.

And Netanyahu let Hamas do this by intentionally weakening their border security before Oct 7, despite there being an anniversary of the last intifada, and despite being told by multiple countries that an attack is in the works. He also had a hand in funding Hamas against the PA. And he is also holding on to power undemocratically, as he is postponing an election he would most likely lose if not for the current “war”.

They have a symbiotic relationship, neither could really exist without the other. Just to be clear, what Hamas does does not justify what Likud does, and what Likud does does not justify what Hamas does.

Also, I don’t think I have the information to really cast either of them “the worse one”. Both organizations have genocidal maniacs leading them, and I agree with the ICC prosecutor who wants to cite the leadership of both for genocide. Saying one is worse would be relativizing the deaths of either the Israeli people murdered by Hamas, or the Palestinian civilians murdered by the IDF.

I do in fact have empathy for them as well. Hamas and Likud are both to blame for this, equally.

Not an excuse, what you’re saying is also true.

The objective of both Likud and Hamas are that the situation does not normalise in the region, they want people to die so they stay relevant politically. Each dead civilian - and to a smaller degree, each dead soldier - is a win for both Hamas and Likud, and a loss for the Israeli and the Palestinian people.

The guy was part of the existing team. The team has 12 members who constantly train together, 11 women, and this guy. They all qualified, but the Olympics accepts 8-member teams, so 4 people had to wait it out. May was one of these four on the decision of the coach.

To be honest, there are two equally true readings of the story, one saying that despite the fresh opportunity for inclusion, the female coach decided to exclude the only male member from the selection, or you could say that the 45 year old guy, despite most likely being one of the top artistic swimmers of the world who arguably has done a lot for the sport both as a sportsman and as a coach himself, may not have been in the top 8 of the team where the lowest age is 17.

If all the genders were swapped, there would be one group saying that the male coach excluded the only woman on the team, and another one pointing out that how good you are should matter more than what’s in your pants.

The people killed had families, friends, who will be raging for revenge, bolstering the ranks of organizations like Hamas.

Hamas won this one, they don’t care how many Palestinians die, they want more people hating Jews. The people who lost this fight are the dead and their relations, and humanity at large.

So the MBAs decided to outsource the work to some shithole where unions don’t exist to bust the WA union, and when the whole thing blew up in their face, they are shipping back the “completed” plane to the union shop to get it fixed up.

Bravo.

If anyone is interested, Al Jazeera was reporting on this whole charade way before the accidents and the whistleblowers started to happen.
