Biden sponsored the crime bill that put those people behind bars in the first place.
Biden abused his powers to pardon his son for crimes that other people will remain in prison for. Crimes that are more severely punished because of Biden.
Its actually quite relevant to the conversation
Cloudflare is a CIA front. They offer “free” DDoS protection + static proxy thereby giving Cloudflare the ability to MitM all TLS connections thru their servers.
I just started to learn about privacy in depth this year, and this little fact about Cloudflare has sat with me more than most things that I've learned. I feel like very few people think about the implications of Cloudflare's practices. Even if its not a CIA front (I feel like it is), we should feel uncomfortable giving any private entity such power. Unrelated, but their crazy lava-lamp wall, as cool as it is, kinda gives me bad vibes lol.
Either NATO goes and fights Russia directly, which is highly unlikely
Yep, that's evidenced by statements going back to 2022 by senior US officials (including John Kirby himself at one point I believe) stating that even if Russia used a tactical nuke within Ukraine, we would not respond with direct military intervention.
If Russia used a nuclear weapon of any type, “I expect (the president) to say we’re in a new situation, and the U.S. will directly enter the war against Russia to stop this government that has not only broken so many international laws and violated human rights but also now violated the nuclear taboo,” said Evelyn Farkas, a former top Pentagon official for Russia and now executive director of the McCain Institute. “Putin will be signing the order on changing the regime.”
But two U.S. officials briefed on the issue did not agree, with one saying, “Unless they use them on NATO we’re probably not going to respond militarily.”
So if the use of nuclear weapons isn't a red line, then what is? And back to your point, what's the point of continuing this war if we're not going to intervene and it's only going to result in my Ukranian deaths? Personally, I think that the answer has been clear from the beginning. We're willing to use the Ukranian people as fodder to dwindle Russia's resources.
Correction, the developers, not the community, are flat out pricks (not "slightly unfriendly"), but this does nothing to remove how amazing the OS is for anyone wanting to remove themselves from all the mainstream garbage in the mobile devices scenario while being able to keep productivity with a few workarounds.
Yep. I'm willing to deal with a prick developer who's taking this on their shoulders. Theyve really produced something incredible with GrapheneOS. I'm not willing to deal with the pricks who sell my data to anyone and everyone. Especially pricks who have had contracts with various intelligence agencies.
My 99 honda civic had nearly 250,000 miles on it the day that it was stolen. When it was found, the thieves had gutted the dashboard of electronics and had removed wheels and other parts. When it was discovered by the police, they towed it to the city in-pound lot and failed to contact me for a couple days because the license plate had been painted over for some reason.
Unfortunately the lot and towing fees ended up being more than what I paid for the car. I wasnt very well off at the time, so I surrendered it to the city. I assumed it would be scrapped for parts.
6 months later it was served to me in ad for Facebook Marketplace. Some guy had fixed it up and had been driving it regularly for months with no issue.
I still wish that I had bought it from him. I fuckin loved that car. I used it to deliver pizzas for 2 years, so i wasnt even that easy on it. I never had a major engine or transmission issue with it and the minor issues that I had were easy for me to fix myself. I bet it's still running out there somewhere.
You have to remind yourself that Jewish people are just as negatively affected by this incorrect narrative, if not more. Jews are not a monolyth, and yet they are treated as such in the media. A nation state (if you want to call it that) is not synonymous with Judaism. We are watching an entire, vulnerable culture hijacked by imperial interests and capital with the intent of wiping out another vulnerable culture. Israel and their population is being used as a proxy and a buffer for the rich and powerful within the west to accomplish their goals in the Middle East.
The facts are there, but the way they are presented matters. Yes, Israel is trying to censor our politicians and media in the US. Yes, most Israelis are Jews, but not all Jews are Israeli, and not all Israeli Jews necessarily agree with Israel. Israel is actively breeding Anti-Semitic sentiment by constantly associating their horrific and unlawful actions to the will of Jews. They further endanger Jews by misrepresenting their opposition and protests against them as antisemitetic. It ends up clouding the real rise of antisemitism in the world and causes people to treat it unseriously. They are doing the opposite of keeping Jews safe, and they are endangering them elsewhere in the world.
In regard to controlling the media, the fact of the matter is that we've left ourselves vulnerable in the United States by letting anyone limit our free press and government. That includes lobbyists from any country, let alone one that's actively committing genocide.
Given your comment, I'm sure you know all of this, but others might not.
I rejected the request because of the "Do not feed the troll" rule.
The majority of the people weren't trolling in my eyes. They were upset because you said a game looked terrible without elaborating. You could have just kept that to yourself and said "not my cup of tea" but you ellicited a reaction, seemingly on purpose. And now you're acting like the victim in the situation and doubling down. That, in my mind, is the definition of troll behavior. Which at least you admit I guess.
Troll or not, I can see this discussion is going nowhere. So I'm just gonna mute this and move on.
Definitely interested in trying this one out. Haven't dove into the FOSS games category yet
Not to mention the normalization of such a connection between pro-palestine and "terrorism". People who are out of the loop will read the headline and assume that the person arrested for terrorism is guilty. They'll start to associate the pro-Palestinian viewpoint with terrorism if enough arrests like these make it into headlines.
How much do you want to bet that she gets blamed for Harris losing Michigan on Tuesday? Hell, they'll probably blame the whole election loss on her if Trump wins. I can't think of a braver politician in congress right now and yet she's treated like dogshit.
Yep, anyone who is celebrating this is shortsighted and letting their own nationalistic ideas and jingoism cloud their judgement.
The gall of asking for compassion from the very system he abused to ruin the lives of children. What a piece of shit.
