I didn’t memorize the message. It was a popup that asked for an email and there wasn’t a way to close the popup, so I closed the article. When I loaded it again, there was a different popup that asked for donations and could be closed.
Why would I lie about this? I cannot express in words how little I care about how you spend your money.
In less than two months, Putin will control the US military.
I also got a paywall, but when I loaded the page a second time, it went away.
I agree with you, but if the time for another revolution has arrived, we need to remember that it wasn’t democracy that got us here, it was corruption. When we win, we should not seek retribution or tit-for-tat oppressive policies.
Except you’d never hear a firefighter say that they would rather let a civilian die in a fire than risk going into a burning building.
Lot of accurate criticisms in this thread, but something we should also keep in mind, progressives are OK with that. If voters vote and it doesn’t go our way, we don’t look for ways to restrict voting or prevent voters from participating in the process. We don’t call in bomb threats or create arbitrary obstacles to voting. We celebrate high voter turnout, even when we lose. Democracy is bigger than one election.
Blue lives don’t matter.
Seriously, that’s the entire point of police. Or at least, that’s the propaganda. Police exist to protect the citizens from criminals. They’re given authority in the form of a badge, and power in the form of a gun, and they are expected to enforce the law as defined by our elected leaders and judicial appointees.
Cops are heroes. They risk their safety to enter situations without hesitation or concern for self preservation. They are trained to be as safe as possible, but there isn’t a police officer alive who wouldn’t claim to be willing to lay down their life for the life of a baby.
Unfortunately, in practice, that’s not what we see. We do not see heroes protecting civilians. We see criminals protecting each other. We do not see selfless sacrifice and empathy. We see megalomaniacs protecting their power.
Good cops, true police officers, would all agree and say proudly, their lives don’t matter. Not when it comes to being sure of your targets. Not when it comes to being sure of the threat. Not when it comes to being sure that lethal force is required to keep everyone safe. An officer who is so afraid of injury or death that they are willing to trade the life of a child to protect their own has no business being a cop. We should never tolerate the idea that blue lives matter.
It’s much easier to run a HTPC on something small like a Raspberry Pi, or an NVIDIA Shield. The hardware on your TV is probably the bare minimum to run its own smart features, and replacing the firmware doesn’t guarantee that the TV isn’t still phoning home with your data.
Yeah, I’m more concerned about the judge’s editorial statements.
Feels like this judge is far overreaching. The victims have an interest in who buys the assets, especially when it is assumed that the highest bidder is going to resume spreading lies about them. This isn’t a situation where the fiduciary duty to the victims trumps their preferences.
He’s not sure, he’s still waiting on orders from Putin.
But eliminating the violence of homelessness is really going to cut into the profits of landlords.
Agreed, those people are the best. But also, that’s a bit of a nightmare scenario, because now you have to decide if you’re going to risk saying something from five minutes ago, or decline the kindness and feel bad for rejecting the gesture.
The sun will likely set today.
TLDW: The moisture sensor might be on the right side of the microwave, and the bag was pointing left when the steam was released.
But that was definitely worth a watch.
This isn’t about efficiency, it’s about attacking science as a tool for evaluating truth. It’s a way to discredit the authority of expertise and shape the course of research with selective funding and demonization.
