  • They self-negotiated themselves into a deeply compromised ACA after getting a supermajority, and when they had a majority they were brought to their knees by... the parliamentarian. A staffer, essentially.

  • Kinder ICE, but with German. Like KinderGuardians.

  • It's a tabloid, so expectations should probably be starting at unfounded hyperbole.

  • True, but the major powers all did forced 'reparations' from Germany. Paperclip involved the other Allied and colonial powers too.

    Also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Osoaviakhim

    The Allies were absolutely more favorable to surrendering Nazis, no question, but let's not act like Paperclip was somehow unique or exceptional.

    It's more salient, I think, that the Nazis concept of Lebenstraum was inspired by American Manifest Destiny, as did Jim Crow laws for the Third Reich's legal implementation of genocidal policies.

  • It's referring to Vance and Rubio, the natural heirs to the throne, who are considered to be rivals in that role. They will apparently be attending, with a squadron of ICE, the games in Italy.

  • I sold my 2015 but I kept my 2004. That things fully manual and just keeps going. It's growing things inside and out from being street parked but there's no computers, no fobs, no screens.

    I'll invest thousands keeping that thing going until I can bridge the gap to EV. It still gets 35-45 MPG which is better than what's out there anyway, even most hybrids

  • The Homeland Security guy filming me get pepper sprayed in 2007 said as much as well. It seemed like a bluff then, and even now still probably is. The odds are they'll have AI slop through the photos instead of a person in which case it doesn't matter if they positively ID you in the field or not.

    Not sure if that is any better.

  • They said shit to me while spraying and beating me in 2007. They probably can back it up better now with all the tech, but my assumption is that their 'database' is just running the picture through AI and chasing the slop.

  • Racist, sexist, abusive, anti-science, anti-climate, conspiracy theorist, narcissist,

    We are all a walking version of our (last) mistake, error, fight, trauma, loss, fear, etc.

    We all bear them, and for some they are all consuming. But they need not be.

  • Only the Mathematics and Cartographer classes, or the most elite Historians shall be able to decipher such knowledge.

  • They mostly were just professional secret police that freelanced. Some hunted people during White Terror/Red Scare periods, even.

  • Hmm. Yes, yes. Quite.

  • The mag dumping was so egregious.

  • Spain appears to be a tampon.

  • My guesses are: the Majapahits used war elephants at some point in the 14th century, or a British puppet used them in the 1800s.

  • "Compliance first" can be pretty identical to "No compliance". It is a terrible system that already defers almost slavishly to industry interests. Fighting the regulatory capture of environmental agencies was already bleak.

  • If they're at an organizing event, sure.
