Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.

  • Maduro has no connections to cartels and the trump regime has released prominent cartel figures so 'cartel threats' is a lie.

    If this is anything more than a publicity stunt, the only real threat is maga voters upset at her covering for pedophiles. Whether the victims are the innocent or maga, the perpatrators are always maga.

  • It's going to make snr devs get fired, surely?

    They either refuse to sign off when boss wants them to and get fired or sign off and get fired when ai code they signed off on causes issues.

  • The rich benefit in some way from almost everything that happens, that's how being an elite works.

    But that doesn't mean that the regime intented to massively spike oil prices. They'll have so much more voter suppression to do now.

    Yes, they're evil, but they're also frequently stupid. They fuck up a lot.

  • I think the headline is designed to be misleading - the dramatic tone implies a worse situation than the actual words describe.

    It's not how headlines are written now, but it would be more honest to say: Dubai to rely less on fresh food Perishable food in limited supply Fresh fruit and vegetables affected by war in iran

  • Well intentioned, often other "neurodivergent" people look at your life, your autism, and say: "you should mask harder."

    Yeah pretty much, right? But is any other advice possible?

    "Here's how to appear less autistic" is really the only usable piece of info when the problem is "I'm autistic and that's never going to change but it sometimes causes problems".

    "Learn how to politely say Fuck you deal with it it's definitely going to happen again" is the only other realistic option but that strategy is only effective in limited contexts.

  • The UAE is not about to starve. It maintains strategic grain reserves and holds significant stocks of frozen and packaged foods, meaning the country is not facing a broader food shortage.

  • Lol no.

    Who are we trying to impress with how un-creased are sheets briefly are before we sleep on them? Ourselves? We're much too smart to be impressed by something so irrelevant.

  • Fun! Yeah i think that's what graeber & wengrove would call "play heirarchy" - temporary, rotating or situational relations rather than the perminant domination of heirarchy.

  • The motorbikes in akira were incredible, i still only use motorbikes in cyberpunk 2077 because of that.

  • We no doubt gave that intel to russia, either directly through the many cabinet members who are russian assetts or indirectly by those assetts purposefully gutting cybersecurity and counter-esponiage capacity.

  • Porco Rosso is my favourite ghibli film. A lot of it is just miyazaki drawing gorgeous airplanes in gorgeous sky-scapes. Plus there's a pig!

  • This is a bad take on a bad day to be making such a bad take and the phrase 'just asking a question' is like the textbook red flag for a bad faith troll.

  • That doesn't sound like a heirarchy, if you can all just do your thing.

    If the manager or frontman tells everyone else what to do and you can't decide for yourself or tell them what to do, that would be hierarchic.

  • The boss picture is missing a whip - all heirarchy is coercive.

    The leader picture should be identical to the boss one except the leader should be saying "We're all pulling together!" while whiping.

  • The other day i was saying i had to go pick up my wife and the tea-shop attendant instantly laughed and asked, "Then where's your wedding ring?"

    So i had to think of a polite way to say that the state can fuck right off out of my relationships and take it's bullshit patriarchal ownership rituals with it. That sounded something like, "oh ah we're not actually ... we didn't need to... so we haven't... so i don't have... yeah."

  • I am become derp, destroyer of worlds.

  • Omfg i love ritzville so much. Whenever we drive from OR to MT we always stop in ritzville and spend the afternoon singing "putting on the ritzville".

  • Yeah i agree - states are institutions dedicated to violence. Whether or not they did some arcane legal rituals before murdering iranians and americans is hardly the point.

    But i do think it matters to show that the state is lying when it claims to use violence legitimately. It doesn't even adher to its own made up rules.

    And it matters that their violence is so unpopular that they can't even let a body as unrepresentative as the US congress get a say.

  • The Greens senator David Shoebridge called the prime minister’s claim that no Australian personnel were involved in offensive action “extraordinary” and said it was inevitable that Australian personnel would be involved in US action.

    “This makes Australia obviously, clearly, unambiguously, part of an illegal war, part of a war that is breaking down the norms of international law and making the world a less safe place,” he said.

    “It is as sure as day follows night that Australians throughout the US military are actively involved, part of the United States and Israel’s illegal war in Iran.” ... According to the Royal Australian Navy, one in 10 crew members onboard US Navy attack submarines is Australian.

    1 in 10 is a lot!
