Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

FYI, and in case you were wondering about his uhh quick collaboration with the Burgers:

"Noboa has adopted a militarized approach to crime in Ecuador, frequently invoking states of emergency, expanding the military role in internal security, weakened judicial institutions, and raising human rights concerns.[15] Supporters say his approach has helped to fight crime,[16] while critics perceive Noboa as an autocrat,[17][18] accusing him of human rights violations, centralization of power and undermining press freedom.[19][20]"

"Daniel Roy Gilchrist Noboa Azín was born in Miami, Florida, United States on 30 November 1987,[21][22] and was raised in Guayaquil.[23][24][25] He is the son of Ecuadorian businessman Álvaro Noboa and Ecuadorian physician Annabella Azín.[26] Noboa graduated from the New York University Stern School of Business in 2010,[27] and later earned a Master of Business Administration from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.[28]"

Ah, fuck. I read an article earlier that painted it as an ask for help from Ecuador without the context of the leadership.

I thought “Okay, fair play. I feel weird about it, but I can’t be a geopolitical expert in all things, so I’ll try not to automatically assume it’s bad.”

But… needle solidly swayed.

Wait, the Stern School of Business and Kellogg School of Management weren't satirical statements?
