Whether he’s part of ms-13 or not is irrelevant. If the government has such solid evidence, then he could surely stand trial. The character of the victim isn’t important. The complete disrespect of the constitution, the courts, and thus rule of law is what’s important.

I’m colorblind and the images are nearly identical. Good thing I’m not in tiger habitats very often.

Maybe even some threaded rod with nuts and washers at each end.

Look up bone conduction headphones. I think Shox is the main brand. I bought them since I ride a bike a lot so earbuds would mess with my situational awareness. You hear everything around you which is the best and worst part about them.

I went bike camping with some friends last fall. The campground had a bunch of MTB trails around it and we had to ride them to get groceries. 2 of the guys were riding Surly Steamroller fixed steel bikes. We rode black diamond trails with groceries. The dudes with eMTBs that they brought on the back of a truck must have been confused.

I’m not sure how serious your comment is but anyway…what you’re describing is a decades-long reorientation of military doctrine and procurement strategy. Getting a different multi-role fighter is already a huge expense with lots of ramifications but no need to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Edit: IMO, if you really wanted to alter air force strategy to deter the US, you should look to Sweden and Finland who have been facing an asymmetric threat for decades. Aquire the Gripen, train with the Swedes in how to run and operate a distributed air force of small independent units capable of generating and performing missions from random roads in the woods.

Disclaimer: I have no qualifications or really any business talking about this…

I think games aren’t the best kind of projects for open source. Some games are made open source after development ends which is cool because it opens up forks and modding (pixel dungeon did this). Most games require a single, unified, creative vision which is hard to get from an “anyone can help” contribution style. Most open source software are tools for doing specific things. It’s almost objective what needs to be done to improve the software while games are much more opinionated and fuzzy. So many times I’ve seen a game’s community rally behind a suggestion to address a problem and the developer ignores them and implements a better idea to more elegantly solve it. Most people aren’t game designers but they feel like they could be.

An exception to this are certain, rules-based puzzly games. Bit-Burner is an open source hacking game with relatively simple mechanics and it works well.

Collapse of civilization is right around the corner.

I wouldn’t be so sure. History is filled with examples of power grabs that endured for generations.

Wait what did they do?

The current Democrat party is like that, yes. However, if this proves ineffective, you’ll see more Democrat candidates with an experimental message. Historically, this is how it has played out. We are currently in the 6th party system. Which means that the parties have had drastic realignment 5 times already. I think we’re entering the 7th party system.

I was talking about this the other night with a friend. We kind of agree that now is a good time for a shift. The Democrat party has never been so powerless. Either a drastic realignment of the Democrat party (what I think will happen) or a truly leftist party supplanting them (what I hope happens) has never been more likely. Fighting right wing authoritarian populism with vaguely liberal platitudes just doesn’t work. Kamala’s massive defeat proved that. I think the midterm election will be a test of left wing unity. Can we rally behind a coherent message? Or will we see a bunch of Democrats running on a platform of “we’re not maga so vote for us” again?

Definitely her gender and skin color had an impact. What Trump and the maga crowd successfully did was present an appealing narrative. Even the most politically apathetic Americans feel like something is wrong. Tech companies and large companies in general have an increasing level of control over our lives. Cost of living is going up with no sign of stopping. The right made it sound like these problems were the result of “elites” in business, Washington, and colleges pushing an unamerican agenda (via immigrants, indoctrination, etc). This is enough to convert many not overtly racist people to vote for racist anti-intelectual policies. What the left truly failed to do was present the real narrative that capitalism is to blame. I remain convinced that a candidate running on economic populism will sweep an election. Those people just need a better narrative.

This might be a hot take and I have nothing backing this up but: I don’t think the average US voter gives a fuck about the Palestinians or the US support of Israel. The people who do are a vocal but tiny minority, even among Democrat voters. That minority still likely voted overwhelmingly for Kamala. I just don’t think the Israel Palestine issue had any affect at all on the election. If you look online, you’d think it was the single biggest failure of the Democrat party. Which…it is, morally speaking. But I don’t think it decided the election. I’d love to be proven wrong but I think Americans don’t care about foreigners.

“All across the country, especially here in Mississippi, the vast majority of bills relating to contraception and/or abortion focus on the woman’s role when men are fifty percent of the equation,” he wrote. “This bill highlights that fact and brings the man’s role into the conversation. People can get up in arms and call it absurd but I can’t say that bothers me.”

It’s a Democrat introduced bill with no chance of passing. The intent is to point out the absurdity and creepiness of controlling people’s bodies and sex lives by flipping the gender. Kind of clever.

If the list includes everyone, what good is the list?

You were more subtle than my friends. In the computer lab, we would just change “the” to “fuck”

It’s not the first time he’s done something like that though. People (on both sides) have been accusing Biden of being senile basically since he took office.

Does there have to be an origin? The universe (at all levels) could be eternal.

My crackpot theory is that there’s a universe inside each black hole and we’re currently inside a black hole. All of the matter that a black hole ingests feeds into a big bang on a separate timeline.

The big bang was a singularity where our understanding of time and space breaks down. Well a black hole is the same thing.

Let’s say my name is Jerry. I’m a little short but not a lot. My work hired another dude named Jerry and he was absolutely massive. At least 400 lbs. So he became big Jerry and I became little Jerry. I attempted to just be Jerry but they were having none of that.
