When an executive action by the executive branch is blocked by the court, it's because the executive is spineless. Especially when that same court gave the executive total immunity and power in official acts.

If Trump or Bush ran into resistance from the courts, they would just go around them. It's a false barrier.

This is Karlach erasure. And Gale.

Ethnic groups are a hive mind obviously, thinking differently is anti-Semitic

That's fair, but also probably not why he's doing it

I remember him diagraming his wage for his "this is why Blizzard needs a union" short and he literally just wrote the numbers he just said.

I think he probably does it for the thumbnails. People are more likely to click if they see an inscrutable diagram. I know I am...

I've only ever seen him promote the Blizzard union, good to know that's basically the only thing he's good on

It would just be the Olympics, but you don't build new villages...or do what China did and revitalize old mining/industrial districts in a way that they can be used after the games too

Even the wiki on the Rosenbergs backs up the idea that the spying likely didn't accelerate development that much of at all

Lavrentiy Beria, the head official of the Soviet nuclear project, used foreign intelligence only as a third-party check rather than giving it directly to the design teams, who he did not clear to know about the espionage efforts, and the development was indigenous. Considering that the pace of the Soviet program was set primarily by the amount of uranium that it could procure, it is difficult for scholars to judge accurately how much time was saved, if any.

Like basically everywhere else, the major limiting factor was access to uranium. Not technical knowledge.

Oh I know. I also know guys who misinterpret a relationship maturing as it dying and I'm just saying that if she's seeing it mature and he just thinks it's all about jumping bones, then there's some really serious lack of communication there.

If they've been together almost 3 years and this is his response to something as innocuous as "I take this relationship seriously" she dodged a bullet.

Just got this game, and it's actually really awesome. Stalker mixed with SCP mixed with Car Mechanic Simulator.

You have a possessed car that you maintain and customize and use to navigate around a Stalker style zone avoiding anomalies and looting all the while picking up weird radio transmissions and following a storyline with 3 other characters on the radio.

The zones aren't randomly generated, only the anomaly placement, so as you navigate a zone multiple times you start to get more comfortable with the roads and shortcuts meaning you can start navigating further out and getting more resources to upgrade your car and base with.

So far I absolutely love it, basically FTL but with the loops being a part of the storyline (your car will always keep you alive even if you lose all your loot and it gets totally fucked). So like if you die or get caught in an anomaly storm, your car will just zap you back to the garage, usually in a state so fucked that it barely drives, e.g. no wheels, no engine, and no headlights just barelling metal on pavement into the back wall.

You can also pick up "quirks" which are a fun sort of puzzle. Basically any action in the car or any state of the car can become randomly linked to another action. So like opening the back left door could turn your radio on, or flipped on your wipers could slam on the gas. So as you're out there surviving, you'll also have to be paying attention to what you did to make the trunk open, then diagnose the issue and repair it.

But yeah, if you're interested in rouge type games this one is top tier. Especially on PS5 because the haptic feedback is really dialed in on this one. You can tell how fucked your car is just by the feedback on the triggers (brake gets stuck, gas kicks back and rumbles aggressively).

They almost never include necessities in these calculations. To them the real measure of economic activity is the price of 65" TVs dropping 10%, not rent going up 100% or housing prices going up 200-300%, or food prices going up 60%.

Hey, you can get a smart TV for 85% the adjusted price of one last year and wages have gone up .8% on average meaning you can open another tv! Why are you complaining?

If any of you are on his American tour route, definitely go see him. We were his first show and he took a seated show and turned it into chaos then threw out the setlist and just asked what people wanted to hear.

Plus he's got the bassist from Radiohead with him.

It's an incredibly active, explicitly communist instance that scares instances that are more liberal or right wing because we don't tolerate people who use buzzwords or generalizations or just "reddit politics" speech in general.

We're also incredibly hostile to bigotry, which turns out to scare a lot of moderators and admins that can't directly from Reddit as they tend to have a lot of unexplored bigotry.
