Well duh. The first rule of owning a firearm is making sure that it isn't the first time you use it in the moment you need to use it
Literal 1st amendment violation. Just fascist things.
Why do the concerns seem to be focused on what data was extracted rather than why there's a massive, state sanctioned civilian surveillance network? I mean, I know the answer, but it's extremely frustrating that people are just fine with intensive surveillance on US citizens from at least 14 countries.
There's a difference between a political entity and the people it represents. The people of Israel have a right to exist, just as you, me, the Palestinian people, Ukrainian people, and Lebanese people have a right to exist. Political entities do not have a right to exist. The fascist Israeli government should be dismantled.
Because it's part of the sports-ification of politics.
Every county has a county seat. There's nothing preventing the county seat from being a regional travel hub.
For some reason I imagined the sword to be much bigger than it's actual dimensions. Very cool though. Can't forget the obligatory fuck the British museum though
You're extremely overestimating the relationship between China and Russia. The risk of backdoors in foreign equipment is everpesent, but also extremely unlikely for a consumer device.
This is an actual nonstory.
Delay tactics to avoid the inevitability that we need to abandon capitalism.
Real question, are there any instances of someone's research being so niche that the only option is to cite themselves?
Nothing. He's banking his win on core supporters only, hoping Harris fumbles in the days leading up, and planning another coup. He's just detailing the culture war stuff.
By the nature of ETFs, you're definitely going to make less income because your money gets put into an investment pool and returns are proportional. However it makes you less tied to the stock market, which is increasingly tied to a person's ability to retire
Well, both of us are socialists (I can't comment on the other person). We think about money in such a different way that any money joke about investment is going to lose it's humor. I don't understand it as a joke either, but I definitely understood the financial advice. He selected some large, relatively uncontroversial companies that will pay you part of the quarterly profits based on the number of stocks you own. Tbh I'd avoid the day trading and choose high dividend ETFs instead. $100k is still very out of reach for most people, but it's a reasonable investing portfolio.
And the dude said it to a native American whose tribe has been in the region for millennia. He's not even a native to the state.
Right, I'm not denying that. People have always been smart. The problem that calculus solved was the intensely difficult algebra that it replaced
The joke is that calculus as a field of mathematics didn't exist until millennia after the fall of the empire
Because the faces have no consistency lmao, pain rated at 5 shouldn't look happier than rank 1
The US government is not just arming a country that kills Americans with impunity — it's lying on Israel's behalf so it can escape blame for those murders. Why is this allowed to continue?

Some of the more avid history fans might be thinking, "Casey Jones saved several lives, why is he being portrayed as a scab?"
The intro that Utah gives for this song doesn't explain it enough in my opinion. It's a fictitious and comedy song that uses the name recognition of Casey, simply because there weren't really any well known railroad scabs and Joe Hill was basing this song on the Ballad of Casey Jones in honor of a rail strike.

> Taken from a Press Release by the group: > > LONDON, 1 July 2024—Two young trans activists scaled the NHS England’s London headquarters at 133–135 Waterloo Road in London on Friday to stage a protest and have remained there ever since. The group, now made up of seven young protesters, all 18 or under, has one simple message: Trans Kids Deserve Better: we are not pawns for your politics. > > The powerful direct action has been organised by the “Trans Kids Deserve Better” network, which is calling for: access to gender affirming healthcare for trans children and young people, protection from discrimination and disrespect in their daily lives and the right to be heard in all decisions that affect them. > > Their protest comes in the wake of the government using emergency powers to ban all access to puberty blockers in the UK, a move that was supported by Labour’s Wes Streeting, likely to be the next Secretary of State for Health. It also comes in the context of a General Election campaign where trans people and trans youth have been used as ‘culture war’ talking points, but not allowed to speak for themselves. > > “We are staging this protest to remind politicians and voters that we’re real kids, not just political talking points. We may not have a vote, but it is our lives that are at stake,” said one of the activists staging the protest. “Gender-affirming healthcare is a matter of life and death for us, and we hope that our actions will bring awareness to this fact and encourage others to fight for the healthcare and dignity that we are so shamefully denied.”
