Who do you think is going to do the ass kicking? American isn’t Nazi Germany - they didn’t come to facism through calamity and poverty. The US got there through wealth concentration, scapegoating, and cumulative cultural rot. But the US is also coming to facism from a position of immense wealth and power. Nobody is coming to save the US from themselves, because no one else can.
Isreal has de-facto veto power over any deal since they can just fly over and blow up something if a deal gets signed that they don’t like and most of the US political establishment will not only not criticize them but they’ll defend them.
The reason you don’t “blame the victim” in most situations is that victims generally do not bear causal or moral responsibility over their situation. These stupid fucks bear both.
David McGuinty stumbled into the defence minister job just by staying alive and continuing to win his riding long enough. He had no expertise on the defence file and is a pure political operator - he is just towing the line because fundamentally he’s just happy to be there.
Unfortunately is he minister of defence and his statements do matter to some extent, but it’s worth remembering the context here.
Reuse is only good in the context of 90s era OO programming wisdom of “Coupling is bad, cohesion is good”.
There is now a free home assistant plugin to implement it at home lol. Crazy shit. Imagine what’s possible with classified tech.
What you don’t like your burgers sprayed with polyurethane varnish?
The theme did throw me at first but I feel like the show didn’t fully come into its own until seasons 3-4. The season 3 Xindi arc has aged beautifully. And the Vulcan arc where the high command is abolished was also very good.
Also in the mirror episodes Hoshi in the crop top made me feel things.
Who is we? Plenty of people support this.
Context: US political polarization is too severe to be contained. It’s too severe for non-partisan organizations and institutions to truly exist. These aren’t political differences competing in the marketplace of ideas. It’s opposing cultures that are more invested in their side winning than in the system that keeps all of this mostly non-violent (democracy).
In this case: Populations shift, maps have to be periodically redrawn by people. Those people will wield political power whether they want to or not, so controlling who gets that power and what they do with it is a natural incentive.
Many countries do these maps in a mostly non-partisan way, but that is only possible when the majority of people believe the system of democracy to be more important than any one (potentially bad) outcome. That is simply not the case in the US. The power to redraw maps must exist and at the level of political polarization that exists in the US, that power will ultimately be corrupted for partisan ends.
The capacity for introspection and change is an important and valuable quality, but that’s not what intelligence means.
He can feel the dying of the light and is now fully into his legacy shopping phase .
My therapist has took this angle immediately - anxiety is a part of us and has a real function - to make us more cautious. But in the modern world it misfires and makes us anxious about things we don’t need to be anxious about which can stop us from doing what we want/need to do. So you acknowledge that voice within yourself, understand that it’s coming from a good place, and then gently push it aside.
I mean I suck at actually doing this but it seems like sound advice.
To be clear, he’s not a billionaire. He desperately wants to be, but he’s currently not.
One that he just announced on fake Twitter without even consulting any of the required allies apparently lol. Not sure you can call that a plan.
It’s going to be hilarious if this ends with Iranian oil being exported through Karachi. But it probably won’t.

This appears to be by the same company that makes the shitty knife in the OP but they have demos of the industrial version of it first.
They haven’t had the option until now so that’s trivially true. This is among the first times this tech has been put into a hand-held knife. Until now it’s been limited to industrial food processing where you’re cutting something sticky. Turns out you can prevent sticking just by vibrating the blade at a few khz. No chemical coatings required.
I don’t expect wide adoption among chefs and this won’t at any point replace a substantial proportion of normal knives. And this implementation of the tech is silly and bears all the flaws of modern product design. But it is cool tech.
Ultrasonic cutting tech is really cool tbh. That doesn’t mean the fucking thing has to be internet connected and have firmware updates .
Sad thing is that the longer this drags on the longer Cuba gets to avoid invasion/bombing.
