Wanna tell that to these Palestinians? It is patronizing colonialism to suggest you know better than they do.

Slow death is far more preferably then it isn't incurable and terminal. It creates an opportunity to stop the death. A peace agreement a year from now under Harris means way more people are still alive than if it's under Trump.

That's all that should matter. Slowing it gives time for intervention and for an opposition coalition to grow. This conflict has been going on for decades. Do you really believe things would be better if Israel just killed everyone 20 years ago? Do you believe things will be better if Israel kills everyone now, versus this conflict still existing in 20 years?

Consider to what actual Palestinians in Gaza are saying. They have a clear preference for Harris over Trump.

No, but:

  1. It will build enthusiasm and make it more likely for people to actually go out and vote.

  2. It's the fucking right thing to do, and I'm glad to see a politician stand for it.

No I think it just proves this is a shit product

That was the moment I realized he was either going to be Tony Stark or Lex Luther.

And then he goes and proves me wrong by being worse than ever imaginable.

Stein refused to call Putin a war criminal, so yes. There is no anti genocide vote.

Invest in renewables?

I work for a green hydrogen production and supply company. Our financials are not amazing. If she cut a check for even a few $100k that would go a long way.

It's time to stop bringing awareness to climate change, and to actually start addressing it. If you're passionate enough to throw soup at a painting, you're passionate enough to get job training to help operate renewable energy sites.

They should be required to change their name

paid for entirely by venture capital seed funding.

And stealing from other people's works. Don't forget that part

Third parties have gotten over 5% before. How'd that go for them?

It's clear that the current third party strategy of advertising via presidential runs is an abject failure.

It depends a lot on how the pagers are distributed. Is it a batch that was carefully delivered to only Hezbollah members? Is that where all the pagers from that batch went?

It's not like the pagers are stamped with "for Hezbollah only". I'm concerned how they were all distributed.

 

Democrats won 56-44 in a NH district which Trump barely won in 2020. Encouraging news!

 

Turns out constantly capitulating to the far right doesn't earn you any loyalty from them -- who'd have guessed? /s

 

I'm rather curious to see how the EU's privacy laws are going to handle this.

I hate NIMBY environmentalist hypocrites

 

Highlights -- an Eververse armor next season is going to be moved to ritual armor, a dedicated team is going to bring free PvP map packs.

 

In short, we aren't on track to an apocalyptic extinction, and the new head is concerned that rhetoric that we are is making people apathetic and paralyzes them from making beneficial actions.

He makes it clear too that this doesn't mean things are perfectly fine. The world is becoming and will be more dangerous with respect to climate. We're going to still have serious problems to deal with. The problems just aren't insurmountable and extinction level.

 

Ohio is having a vote in November to decide on if abortion will be legal or not. Similar ballot measures and referendums have shown huge support for abortion in even conservative states.

There is a measure yet to be voted on in August for if the November vote has to reach 60% and meet other conditions instead of being simple majority.

Polling suggests a landslide victory for legalizing abortion and intense disapproval of changing the requirements.

 

Which of the following sounds more reasonable?

  • I shouldn't have to pay for the content that I use to tune my LLM model and algorithm.

  • We shouldn't have to pay for the content we use to train and teach an AI.

By calling it AI, the corporations are able to advocate for a position that's blatantly pro corporate and anti writer/artist, and trick people into supporting it under the guise of a technological development.

 

There's just something fucking hilarious about laying off employees, mocking them, and being sued for improperly firing them -- and then whining that your competitor hired them and that they have access to Twitter information still.

I believe this fits well under the "fuck around and find out" doctrine.
