Only because of their exacting standards. Even when I lived in Germany in the 90s the only time I had trouble understanding someone speaking English was when our realtor was trying to be racist but didn't know the English words.

Having spent time with people in this exact situation. I'd probably live my life like I normally do, because that increasingly fleeting sense of normalcy would mean everything. Sure, I'd spend more time with my loved ones and make arrangements and such, but I wouldn't quit my job.

Well that certainly blows up any argument it was staged. You don't fake shoot a real bullet past your fake targets head.

Right after meeting with Orban who just met with Putin? I don't know if I really think that, but I would say it's possible.

Well things are about to get a whole lot worse. That raised fist is going to be printed on all the right-wing crazy stuff and they will use this to justify violence against anyone opposing Trump.

Libs of TikTok is amplifying false accounts of furries biting and scratching students. It's just more fake outrage porn for right wing fantasists.

Why would he need to raise the money? He told the court he had $500M in liquid assets.

Could it be that he was being untruthful in his statement to the court? I think there is a word for that.

It is ghoulish that this deeply personal information has to be made public just for this woman to get medical care that she always should have been able to get.

While it's good to be skeptical, algae tanks like this are actually a good idea for the use-cases for which they are designed. Places where trees would be difficult and expensive to grow. The tanks more efficiently capture carbon, require less maintenance, produce fertilizer as a byproduct and the solar panels on the tank produce enough extra power for there to be a USB charger on the bench. The goal isn't to replace trees with tanks but to use them where it makes sense to do so.

How in the hell are there no criminal charges in this case? He died of dehydration in a jail that also denied him access to medical care. The coroner ruled it a homicide. People need to be charged in this death.

I hate to side with Disney, but this was clearly a case of a government retaliating against a company for making a political statement. This is literally what the First Amendment was written to prevent.
