We started the process two years ago and I’m helping friends get sorted too. It sucks
Yes my family and I fly out next week
Hear that everyone, it could be worse
Thanks for the enlightening framing. When they’re rounding up people they don’t like we should tell them it’s ok, it’s been worse
Nobody fucking cares. This isn’t some academic exercise to rank crazy times. This is the very real political strategy of a party about to take power in the US. This view from nowhere shit is so exhausting.
It’s not just real it’s their actual political strategy. This isn’t fringe shit, this is what they will do when they take office.
Yes, this is probably the real motive. “Arrest and execute my political opponents” cannot be ignored by the military without a coup or being in dereliction of duty. I think another nefarious change here is not that the actual power has changed but that the Supreme Court has given face value validity to illegal acts. The President has always has unmitigated pardon power for federal crimes. They could order the military to commit illegal acts and pardon them preemptively so that they were not punished. A reason why that hasn’t happened is that the optics of that are horrifying - the President and military must admit to a crime being committed to pardon that crime. With this ruling there is no admission, no face value legal wrongdoing, and plenty of plausible deniability.
SCOTUS knew precisely what they were doing. This is a significant expansion of presidential power, yes. But they know that the real issue is political. What they want is the President to be able to argue that illegal things are legal because the President did it, instead of arguing that illegal things are not punishable because the President pardoned the criminals.
The President can literally shoot someone in cold blood, in public, and as long as they can deem it an official act it is de jure legal.
You might be asking why the right isn’t worried that Biden will abuse this - the answer is because they know he doesn’t have the balls. The left still thinks we’re in 1968 fighting for rights with mostly peaceful protests. We’re in 1938 and we’ve already lost.
Because being a fringe lunatic insurrectionist fascist is forgivable. Left or right, everyone either assumes Trump is so bad or so good that he is beyond criticism.
Same as it ever was. No one, left or right, expects the Republicans to change or get better.
I don’t think that steals the headlines in a positive way.
Agreed it sucks. What do you want to do about it in the 2024 election?
Why 60 days at all?
Just kidding, it’s obviously because they hope you forget to change it after two months
It’s impossible to do without signing the with the valid cert. I think destroying the anonymity is the point
No you’re right. The ARF just ignored that constraint and intentionally built in a back door here. From the linked article:
However, the current ARF stipulates that law enforcement authorities can retroactively trace pseudonyms back to their legal identity. The provisions therefore „strongly contradicts the legal requirements,“ epicenter.works writes.
Not to mention India and China vs. the US
Total emissions would tell a different story but population is not the only factor here
My internal rating is:
Overwhelmingly positive: game is actually quite good and also probably, but not always, a niche game.
Very positive: most people don’t hate it
Mostly positive: Game has one or two big, specific issues for most people, like a specific performance or gameplay problem, but is otherwise fun.
Mixed: game either sucks or has had some controversy. Usually games that are good but not worth the money go here.
Mostly negative: game sucks
Overwhelmingly negative: exclusively reserved for shovelware and yearly sports games like FIFA and NBA games.
Yes but I also imagine many of the males in that picture died or were injured
I just wanna see the person who decides that this art is cool and all but they really do need a few packs of Coke Zero so…
You keep using all the classic rhetorical terms reserved for people who have argued themselves into a corner. You’re not very good at this. cIaO CiAo
Bad arguments like “the president of the United States tried to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.” Man the gaslighting from you is wild.
I don’t dislike nuclear, I dislike bad arguments and bad decision making. The president wields enormous power over the stability and infrastructure required for nuclear to be safe and sustainable. You cannot have watched the debate last night, or the events of Jan 6, and feel confidence that anyone involved can be trusted with a goldfish, much less consistently providing a stable nation capable of securing nuclear plants.
If your argument is “don’t worry a sitting president may have staged an insurrection, but it was incompetent so it’s totally ok to leave him in charge of nuclear plants” then yeah, I think that’s a bad argument. And embarrassing
The sitting president did it…the commander in chief. I get you like nuclear but this is embarrassing
What is a moe??????
I see a lot of communities for moes. Fitmoes, kemonomoes, smolmoes. I don’t know what a moe is - obviously it’s related to anime or Japanese (or otaku) culture but it’s so clearly a thing that I don’t know anything about.
Torn Achilles - Rodgers’ season is done
Couldn’t happen to a nicer anti-vaxxer, either. Have to imagine he’s willing to accept medical treatment now.
Poor Jets, though.
Aaron Rodgers is hurt and out against BUF
Jets QB Aaron Rodgers goes down with an apparent ankle injury on the first drive of the game.
Went down on the very first drive. Ankle injury, X-rays negative.
This is the most Jets thing imaginable.
