He’s not coming back

I was kinda expecting this tbh.

Fuck you very much, Tribunal of Six.

Heh, pretty ingenious. They knocked out some power substations so that the molten metal that the electric arc furnaces handle froze inside, requiring extensive cleaning and likely the replacement of various critical components… that can’t be obtained from Germany anymore. This was a highly effective strategic attack on Russian logistics.

Lmao are you really gonna be a Ben Shapiro apologist? He’s an overt ethnosupremacist of the white variety, and is staunchly aligned with the proto-fascist elements of the far right American political spectrum.

But by all means, check my facts.

This is another case in point.

Also, the guy == me

I think I’m done interacting with you, for good.

He’s Jewish tho, so he’s not.

Also, he’s a fascist

E: reworded for accuracy

No, I think he is.

But the way you approach the matter, habitually ignoring context - historical, regional, political, and geopolitical - and making reductive jibes towards people trying to have serious conversations (about, I should add, topics that are often tangential or uncorrelated to the Gaza genocide) is incredibly fucking abrasive and has tempted me to outright block you more than once. When you do that, you’re not engaging other users, or changing anyone’s mind. You’re just pushing them away.

This is not the protection that you think it is.

One of the elements of the Trump victory plan is for them to replace pivotal positions in civil and military services with sycophantic yes-men who are GREAT at not questioning orders - or, are of the same psychopathic stripe as they are, and are actually enthusiastic about executing such orders for one reason or another.

Not to mention: go into any US military mess hall, anywhere. What’s on the TV? (Here’s a hint: it’s not MSNBC, CBS, or CNN).

Fuck, man, the stigmatization of neurodivergence has done so much damage to so many people :(

Oh hey thanks! I was looking for that!

Who hurt you :(

Right back at you

Those are very old stories

This is a very, very different context. I expect him to fire some extremely pertinent and uncomfortable questions. And I consider that to be a good thing.

The container looks… taut.

As it stands, he is refusing to consider any sort of action or regulation against the SC in any way, shape, or form. He is neither checking nor balancing a blatant power grab by thr Judicial Branch (as currently co-opted by the Republican Party and Nationalist Christians).

I agree that the column presents a rather extreme scenario, but holy fuck, it’d be great if Biden was willing to go even a bit in the direction of malicious compliance instead of doing literally fucking nothing.

And more broadly: his outright refusal to take any action whatsoever in the face of clear, present, and existential danger to not only his campaign, but the Democratic Party, the Constitution, democracy in the US in general, and anyone who’s not a white evangelical, is an inexcusable abrogation of duty to his oath to protect and defend the Constitution. It’s dereliction of duty, plain and simple. That is why I now think Biden shouldn’t be the nominee any longer: he demonstrably does not have the proper temperament to respond effectively to a situation that has existed and gotten worse for the entirety of his first term. He’s done NOTHING to halt the judicial overreaches and legislatural ratfucking. I don’t expect that to change. After all, despite how much ink has been spilled about how his comments were “taken out of context”, he told us so himself.

For some reason this has a bit of an uncanny valley vibe to it

The fact that it’s a requirement - and moreover automatically creates and integrates with MS cloud services - is what people don’t like.

Nobody is arguing that it’s a bad idea to let your chosen distro installer automatically pull the most up-to-date packages.

I’ll believe it when Bibi doesn’t just summarily ignore it

I guess the first chapter of Ministry for the Future will occur a couple years from now
