If you oppose the Kim regime, expanded internet access in NKorea would be a wise goal.

You should never adopt a pet you can’t care for, and this mother was wise to foresee the vet bill for this high-maintenance kitty.
Violent criminals tend to be young, like solders, and for the same reason.
I hate that when I abandon a comment, the annoying little “are you sure you want to leave the page?” dialogue pops up.
Buying isn’t supporting. Capitalism is not a social support network.
Companies have spent millions and taken years to convince people that going shopping is a kind of activism.
If I suggested you donate money directly to a video game company, or volunteer your time to help them you’d see right away how fucking weird that whole concept is.
You are home with your wife at 4 a.m. when suddenly a 17-year-old with a gun appears. The teenager won’t hesitate, District Attorney Tony Clayton said. “He will kill you and your wife.”
This is a recursive problem because what about the 16yo? And even if you lock up all the 16yo thugs, can a 15yo not shoot your wife? You love your wife don’t you?
There are two kinds of people, the kind who’ll read this and think, “This is science working”, and others who’ll think “Well, you can’t trust science”.
For some people, “war crimes” isn’t a legal theory, but a moral outrage. In this case, they’ve painted themselves into a corner because Joe Biden is already fully responsible for genocide, so adjudicating a few war crimes seems petty and irrelevant.
Never mind that a conflict in the same time-zone as Israel, energy infrastructure is a primary target for both sides.
I love it that even among Linux users there are proselytizers that annoy everyone else. You’d think that switching to Debian or something would inoculate you from pretentious nagging to switch OS, but NOPE!
(I’m just salty because Valve didn’t pick my fav distro.)
The argument about Israel’s right to exist is dishonest because it’s explicitly meant to be equated to Jewish existence.
The easiest way to shut down this nonsense is to ask for some contemporary examples of countries that don’t have the right to exist. And if they come up with one, Iran is popular, ask them why Israel expects peace while her policy toward her neighbors is annihilation. This is obviously bad faith, but they’ll be forced to deconstruct their own argument to call you out.
Just the petty tables though. The whales have been putting their chips in superPACs the whole time.
Visiting the UK is like going into the future. That’s because I’m American and we’ll be a washed up hegemon soon.
P.S. I can’t help but notice that you lost your empire around the same time you got healthcare. Is there a way to learn this power?
Hezbollah are actual terrorists and proxies of Iran. There is no way any sane person can side with them.
IDK what you mean by “actual terrorist” or “proxy”. Would it include an organization labeled “terrorist” by the U.S. And the U.K.? Maybe people who planted bombs in the King David hotel? Maybe it would be working hand in glove with a criminal regime to terrorize innocent people? OK because what I just described is an organization called Irgun led by a fellow called Menachem Begin, or the 6th prime minister of Israel. (he was in charge when Israel invaded Lebanon if that helps narrow it down.)
This isn’t a whataboutism, but a refutation to the single-digit fallacy that the terrorists are only on one side.
Why would you do that when you know it’s still happening to other people?
I love living in a country where the police have no duty to protect others, but the victims of crimes do.
The soil is rich in carbon, but poor in nitrogen. The air is rich in nitrogen, but poor in carbon. PLANTS: we’ll absorb nitrogen from the soil and carbon from the air!
Intelligent design indeed.
Preservation is an invasive and destructive process. Recreating the experience of watching ‘The Daily Show’ in the 90s or early '00s is already impossible. Language and culture mildew and rot just like leather and wood.
EDIT: People don’t seem to understand what I’m talking about. Even the people who are responding in good faith seem confused. That’s on me. So I thought I’d try to clarify with an example.
Take the Mona Lisa. Perhaps one of the most preserved objects in history. It’s so well preserved that it’s impossible to see. Sure, you can look at it, but you won’t see it. Taking a picture of the painting is encouraged, but you can’t get a look at it in your camera roll either.
If you saw the actual painting hanging on a friend’s wall, your first thought would probably not be “what a masterpiece”, but “why didn’t they remove the default print that came with the frame”? If you go to Paris, you can wait in line to have the “Mona Lisa experience” but the painting you saw wasn’t hanging on the wall, what you’ll see is the Mona Lisa you brought with you.
(yes, I stole this example from ‘were in hell’ youtube channel)
I’m getting really sick of the “conventional wisdom” that government is inefficient and wasteful when compared to private industry. Medicare for example can provide more healthcare per dollar than any private insurer despite subsidizing that industry.
Profit and marketing are inefficiencies because they add cost but no value.
Remember that movie where in the future all restaurants were Taco Bell? Well the real future, all public services are police.
