It became worthless in 1973 when they awarded it to Henry Kissinger

Kissinger was a war mongering piece of shit. Untold number of people died horribly violent deaths because of him. Small pox is more deserving of a peace prize than Kissinger, because at least it kills everyone equally. Kissinger targeted the poorest and most vulnerable

I look forward to someday pissing on his grave

There is a fundamental psychological difference between Trump and me. I can't imagine getting any joy out of a trophy I did nothing to earn

Putin, at least, I can kind of understand. It was a power play. He did it to prove he could rob someone of their most prized possession in front of their face, with zero consequences

ICE is so clearly operating outside the bounds of the law. They do not have any jurisdiction to enforce state laws, yet we're being told encounters with ICE are justified if we don't obey state laws?

US surveillance is far more effective than North Korea or Russia's domestic surveillance

Only China is in the same realm in terms of ability to surveil citizens. They're just more open about using it for low-level offenses

The choice does exist, but it gets harder and harder to go without a phone

Many jobs expect us to be available at all hours. Younger generations cannot navigate without maps. Phones are also the primary way we record/observe ICE. They're also our calendar/organizer, notebook, and many other things

Sure, we can have an independent GPS, camera, calendar, and notepad, but the barrier keeps getting higher

We need to develop counter measures, and long-term pass strong laws banning this level of government surveillance

This is fascism.

People are dying. People will continue to die. I'm saddened and scared by what is happening

Anyone who agrees with this should not post that opinion online in a way that can be tied back to them. It can be used to remove you as a juror

At least all the comments on this post are roasting him. His other posts just got people saying how smart it all seemed. Yikes

The text is AI generated, which explains why he sounds so detached from the work

Always funny to me with these guys that they try really hard to sound smart, calling themselves things like the"Monadic Plenum Research Collective", using as many obtuse and archaic words as they can, only for a core axiom to be "Reality's Data Plan"

Reminds me of all those silly Facebook posts claiming copyright over all their posts and comments. They can say whatever they want, but they handed the rights over when they posted the content after agreeing to the ToS

Another nutjob that thinks they've figured out the universe because AI told them they were so very smart. At least the TempleOS guy did his own work. You're just a lazy sloperator thinking AI work is your magnum opus

Really salting the wound for anyone working in US oil production, which is a lot considering the US is the world's largest crude exporter

I don't know that knowing the public non-emergency number counts as "intimate knowledge". It's a pretty common scam used all around the US, to the tune of billions of dollars a year. More commonly it's impersonating the IRS, but same process

What type of corn are you referring to? I'm not familiar with the history of corn, but what you're saying doesn't match my experiences with any variety

Dent corn is used as livestock feed, and is generally considered the less edible version. Sweet corn can be eaten by humans raw. Basically every variety I've ever seen can be eaten if boiled long enough

No one is mentioning it, so I will: Maduro's armed escort is just out of frame. There are about a dozen armed agents that escort him to the armed transport. This picture is missing important context in that regard

There is something to be said about the fact an alleged CEO killer is given the same level of armed escort as an alleged international drug kingpin and terrorist, but this picture does not accurately describe the situation

Boring, but accurate reason: Because the rest of Maduro's armed escort are waiting along the pier

By the end he had a similar escort to Luigi. Certainly it's a statement that an alleged international drug lord and terrorist is given the same level of escort as an alleged CEO murderer, but the picture is missing important context - a dozen armed agents waiting to escort him just out of frame

It looks like this chart is based on mass, rather than number. By number hydrogen is >90% by itself

Canadian and Venezuelan oil are very different. I doubt they would be processed at the same refineries

Important to remember: The YMCA is a Christian association. Depending on the management, they may believe it's better to contact the family and "work it out", which is a significant risk to anyone in a DV situation

Banned from community

Apparently the mods disagree lol
