When in doubt, always remember that most people aren’t actually good at their jobs, especially when shit goes wrong.
Cops are hired based on their ability to follow orders, and specifically not for their ability to solve problems.
Also, the little shit shooter was kicked out of his highschool gun club for being a terrible shot.
Any other inconsistencies come from people trying to cover their asses after the fact.
Mark Rober already did that.
Trump didn’t force Netanyahu into a ceasefire, that’s a blatant lie.
The two announced a ceasefire and then, never actually ceased firing. So yeah, I’ll agree that a fake ceasefire was never a possibility under Biden, because he would never have gone along with it.
Also, the reports are still saying that Harris was not a fan of Biden’s policy on Israel. So yes, the worse option is so much fuck worse than the alternative. The worse option is speedrunning the genocide, trying for a new record of innocents killed in the shortest timeframe.
Trump has imposed sanctions on the ICC, the International Criminal Court, because they ruled against Israel.
This has actively harmed the ICC in their mission.
USAID was feeding Gaza, Trump has ordered the food to rot in storage rather than disburse it.
And there are dozens of other things that Trump has gleefully done to specifically hurt Palestinians.
While the lesser evil was bad, the greater evil is so much worse.
Is the leader alive or not? Alive is likely a cult, dead is usually religion.
The next question is how isolated from friends and family or society at large are the members. More isolated is more likely to be a cult.
Other than that, there’s not much difference.
The usual setup is a cult is formed and then the second or third leader opens things up a bit and transitions it into just another religion… But sometimes a cult can be born from a religion as a small group breaks off to follow a charismatic leader.
Some conservatives get those.
Mass shooters don’t tend to get that treatment.
It’s the bridge too far scenario. If this little shit head had joined the police department and then shot a bunch of people, the right would cheer, because that’s how things work in their mind.
But becoming a rouge element and shooting random people… No that’s just murder.
I’m sure there’s a better way to phrase it, but I’m at the tail.end of a nasty cold and can’t think straight.
Climate Change. That’s the meteor. That’s behind the dive to annex Canada and Greenland. It’s also why Peter Theil has a bunker in New Zealand.
All because there will be areas of climate stability to go with the areas rendered uninhabitable.
Russia is likely to be a climate winner. For a time anyway.
The super rich will just bounce around the globe between islands of stability.
The rest of us will die in the water wars.
It was one of the reasons I switched. That and my favorite mod manager is working on a Linux native version. It’s not done yet, but it’s good to play other games from time to time.
Valheim is pretty brutal, but also highly moddable.
And the second they get it, they reinvent IP law, but in an even more restricted form.
My guess is that at first it will be a first or second generation citizen. Someone who grew up in a Spanish speaking household.
And the right wing will spin it as “deporting the anchor baby”.
After the corrupt supreme court erases the 14th amendment, the gloves will come off.
Especially with the firing of the NSA director. The guy who was limiting Peter Theil’s spy company from having unlimited access to data collected on US citizens.
Except Social Security is not in danger of bankrupting the government. Sort of.
See, Republicans have been raiding Social Security for petty cash for decades so that they could give rich assholes another tax break and still fund their endless wars.
But that money needs to go back. Whenever some asshole says that Social Security is x amount short, that’s money that’s owed to the American people,
I’m betting far more people want to see Trump strung up by his ankles, maybe he should bow to pressure there as well.
Technically the Nazis lost that election, but the Conservatives who won turned around and handed power to Hitler, all to prevent the Left from gaining power.
Trump does intend to die in office. That’s the point. That’s his full plan.
But that death could be 10 years from now. Elections are pretty much over.
The only way this goes wrong for him is if he leaves office. He has no intention of allowing that to happen.
More than one test failed.
The Tesla failed the heavy rain and the heavy fog tests.
There’s zero excuse to fail either of those tests. But the Tesla killed the kid both times.
The wall test was just to show that the Tesla cannot put together optical clues.
The other two tests that the Tesla failed were more realistic. Heavy fog and heavy rain.
It failed both.
If your self driving car cannot handle weather, then it’s not self driving at all.
Actual lidar isn’t fooled by weather. Shitty optical only cameras are.
Measles also resets your immune system, making other illnesses deadly again.
Back in the day you’d survive Smallpox, then get Measles, then get Smallpox again.
These days, I guess it will be Covid and the Flu killing most people.
That hinges entirely on whomever holds the loan.
If it was one person, then no way. But it’s not just 1 person, it’s more than 100.
There are investment groups in that list, and ties to the Saudis and Russians.
The investment groups might be legally required to margin call if the stock price falls too far, but none of them will hold the full loan.
One big protest can easily be shut down. Split this into dozens of protests at different intersections and the cops will be hopelessly outnumbered at every location.
