You missed the biggest one. US Govt interfering with most elections in most countries in the world for decades. If the Feds want to complain about someone spending some money to try to influence US elections, they should first stop using anything and everything up to and including funding and/or directly participating in literal coups.
all these developers are going to lose their jobs and its YOUR FAULT
Is this nutjob saying that people should have bought the game even if they don't like it and don't want to play it so that the devs keep their jobs? Because I can't think of any other way that devs losing their jobs for making a poor game with terrible characters is the fault of the consumers.
Sounds like it wasn't just passing off bad checks, but you could also apply for a loan at the ATM and just get the cash in some cases.
But,
Chase has apparently rectified the issue, as some are now reporting that their accounts have massive negative balances or have had holds put on them.
Sounds like a bunch of people are already in FAFO territory.
On top of the ones mentioned before, I'd throw in Hoppe's Democracy: The God That Failed. It is a bit of a dry read IMO, which would hurt it in younger people reading it, but it does nicely outline how universal suffrage and democracy directly leads to many of the problems of today due to the masses wanting free gibs.
Wasn't he always the smug Reddit-atheist-liberal type?
To some extent. Still, on the Penn and Teller Bullshit show in the early 2000s some of the episodes did take shots at some liberal sacred cows including environmentalism, recycling, new age hippie stuff, etc.
Well, the governor of Colorado said all this stuff was a figment of your imagination, so obviously Reddit can't have this imaginary stuff getting posted. After all, the first rule of The Party is to not believe your lying eyes and ears.
Textbook TDS. Comparing 2015 and earlier Penn and post 2016 Penn and it's radically different. He said he had some negative issues with Trump when Trump was hosting The Apprentice (which may be legitimately true) but then translated that into full-on Orange Man Bad. Even then, he still called himself a Libertarian up until The Coof, at which point he went full-on pro-lockdown and pro-mandate and has continued sliding.
You normally will truncate data like this when you’re looking to “zoom in” on the differences.
"Zoom in" is a funny way to say "intentionally mislead most viewers about how extreme the differences are." Because that's what it is used for much of the time, and the graphic demonstrates that quite clearly. (Heck, your own linked article says "you’re making an editorial decision to focus on the data in a different way, so take care not to mislead the reader." at the very beginning.)
At 5'2'' vs 6', that means the average Indonesian guy is about 86% of the average Dutch guy's height. Noticeably shorter, yes, but even if it was done with bars it would still make it look like the Dutch are twice as tall or something than the Indonesians. And the ridiculously absurd silhouettes just make it even worse.
For 10-12, what are prior and certified declarations? Does France have a rule where you're not allowed to use certain publicly available encryption tools without government permission? Cause that's beyond stupid, given that there's plenty of effective encryption algorithms which are publicly available for anyone who wants to to use. Why does the govt need to know what functions I'm importing from a library in my code?
And if encryption stuff is being done right, then #2 is absurd because Telegram shouldn't be storing keys anywhere, and without keys (or govt breaking of the encryption) then turning over anything will just be giving the govt gibberish.
Well, we already know that a bunch of high school boys can easily beat the US Women's team. So 5 adult trannies beating all the women's teams is not very surprising.
Nah, only boys getting kidnapped. Boko Haram kidnaps some school girls, and we get protests in the streets worldwide and Big Mike promoting twitter hashtags for a couple weeks. Except, Boko Haram has been around since 2002 and is still around. Still using child soldiers and child suicide bombers. And no one cares.
Born in 2012, Sphen, the older of the two penguins, was nearing his 12th birthday when he passed away earlier this month -- which officials say is considered a long life for a gentoo penguin, who have an average life span of roughly 12 to 13 years.
Ummm, if the average is 12-13 years and you don't even make 12, then you are by definition below average. So it is not a long life. Guess even Alphabet Soup penguins die early.
You mean, ignoring suppressed wages, increased housing costs, overwhelmed social services, destruction of the native culture and balkanization of the country, and - as reported just last night - a gang leader wanted in Peru for 23 murders showing up in New York (plus, the whole fact that ICE caught him in May and somehow let go and allowed to run around in the US for 3 months).
Oh, and the largest concern - a bunch of self righteous, wealthy insert your favorite expletive here who tell us to deny the evidence of our own lying eyes and (as seen in the UK right now) want to arrest everyone who even dares question what's going on.
So, two possibilities. Eric is either just a greedy, lying profiteer (likely this one) or is beyond retarded.
and we can make the penalty for invading a country, at least by land, essentially be impossible. It should eliminate the kind of land battles.
Anyone who has spent any amount of time studying military history (and you certainly don't need the year+ he said he spent in the interview) knows that statement is beyond BS. People have been saying for centuries "well, this weapon will end war because it is so terrible!" WW1 was literally called "the war to end all wars" at the time due to how horrible it was.
If anything, I'd say you are just going to increase war (if your stuff works as advertised). To quote Robert E Lee at the end of the Battle of Fredericksburg
It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it.
Congrats! You're just moving the politicians and generals yet further from the terror of it. I mean, look at what's been happening the last decade with drone strikes around the world. "Oh, I can just press this button, and there's a good chance someone halfway around the world I don't like blows up? Sounds fun!"
Honestly, I really, really hope that your stuff doesn't work as advertised, because (even ignoring the possibility of things Skynetting) large scale deployment of effective AI weaponry is going to be the stuff of absolute nightmares for everyone except politicians. And hopefully someone develops an effective EMP cannon soon, with the rate things are going.
Even ignoring the collusion accusations in the petition, is it really that surprising that modern day Australia picked someone who wrote a PhD thesis entitled "Deterritorializing gender in Sydney's breakdancing scene" and was lead author on a paper in which "We discuss the ways popular music studies, and then dance studies, has engaged with the theme of protest."?
This was 100% a political pick.
“His idea of himself is that he wants to heal and rehabilitate Middle-earth. He’s got a very clear vision for how it should be done, and the only problem is other people keep on getting in the way,” he explained.
Just, no. No, no, no.
I am the Elder King: Melkor, first and mightiest of the Valar, who was before the world, and made it. The shadow of my purpose lies upon Arda, and all that is in it bends slowly and surely to my will.
That is a direct quote from Sauron's boss/mentor/etc. And on his ultimate weapon (the Ring) he engraved:
One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.
Sure, he really wants to heal and rehabilitate things.
First, why are you taking what the DoJ says on face value? How many "Muh Russia!" hoaxes have we had now?
Are you seriously expecting youtubers to backtrack all of the finances of everyone they ever work with?
Building off 2, how would anyone short of a massive multinational corporation with an army of attorneys and accountants even do that? But, hey, it's a basic rule so I'm sure you'll be happy to provide us with a full list of the steps you've personally taken for every financial interaction you've had for, say, the last decade.
And, even if this is 100% a Russian Propaganda operation to warp the minds of poor innocent Americans (which I don't), and even if we accept that all of those youtubers could and should have been reasonably expected to perform a full audit of Tenant's books (which I don't), there's been multiple reports of Kamala paying influencers to shill for her campaign. So what's the issue here? Show me the legal statue which says "It is a crime for you to receive money from a Russian". Oh, wait, the DoJ doesn't charge the youtubers with anything! It charges a couple Russians with money laundering and violating the Foreign Agents Registration act.
It's 100% obvious what is going on here. The DoJ cooked up something (maybe legitimate, maybe entirely faked) to slander and try to shut down well-known online personalities because they're not 100% parroting the line that Washington wants them to take. And if you seriously don't expect the same thing to happen to Dank, the Lotus Eaters and every other online personality soon, you are hopelessly naive.
Anyway, I'll wait for your full list of steps for an average person to cheaply and easily perform a full audit on the books of every company they ever do business with, since it's an easy and basic rule.
Edit: It's also worth noting that THIS is what the DoJ is spending time on, when some of the main oil fields in the US are literally getting raided by Cuban and Venezuelan gangsters. Yeah, I get it, different people work on different things, but when a major story is "more Russian Propaganda! Be afraid of those evil right-wingers!" when oil fields are being robbed and sabotaged and no major outlet talks about it should also make it pretty clear what's going on here.
