So you're telling me that people in the UK want lower food prices, but don't want to be part of the EU common market. And they want more doctors and dentists, but less immigration.
Is there an epidemic of mental illness? Do these people know what cause and effect are?
The French did. George Washington's main role was keeping the Continental Army together so the American Colonies were ungovernable. One third of the colonists were Loyalists, one third were Revolutionaries, and the final third didn't care.
Once Napoleon was distracted by Russia, the British came back in 1812 and burned the White House. But by then all the Loyalists had left and the British Army had no support. They essentially burned shit for 2 years and left. America didn't really win either war but got independence kind of like the Taliban did.
Lol I just checked target. You're right. I guess I never get the "men's shampoo", mainly because it's low quality with a crappy "wood" fragrance. Of course women's deodorant is a rip-off too. Better to just look up the brand you like.
You have two separate aisles for men's and women's shampoo? Do you live in Saudi Arabia? In the rest of the world they're right next to each other.
I would make the same joke about trump, but we all know he didn't have any childhood friends.
U.S. Army Pvts. Philip G. Shadrach and George D. Wilson were captured by Confederates and executed by hanging. Biden on Wednesday is recognizing their courage 162 years later with the country's highest military decoration.
> President Joe Biden on Wednesday awarded the Medal of Honor for conspicuous gallantry to two Union soldiers who stole a locomotive deep in Confederate territory during the Civil War and drove it north for 87 miles (140 kilometers) as they destroyed railroad tracks and telegraph lines.
If a group of people are laid off, in Japanese culture that reflects very poorly on the company, suggesting that management was irresponsible to lead the company into this situation.
I mean, that's the actual truth. All these tech layoffs are just happening because Executive Leadership Teams copy each other. A few years ago they were all hiring at the same time too.
You should hire when others are firing so you get the best employees. You should hold off on hiring when everyone else is hiring, so you don't overpay. It's pretty simple.
Not like that. A server name that can be authenticated. Like when you receive an email from your bank (in the metadata), you know it's legitimate. Each organization can set up their own server to host things they vouch for. With ActivityPub it can be viewed elsewhere with the guarantee that it's from a trusted source.
I just saw one of OPs posts from 3 days ago. They were one of those people saying Biden was committing genocide.
So they are just anti-Biden period and switched to a different criticism. The "genocide Joe" label wasn't sticking so they changed to the new one.
Safe to block.
Why would anyone pay for the service? Having a "name" is free, and that dumb worldcoin only works for people. It can't work for governments or businesses.
ActivityPub is actually a good way to authenticate things. If an organization vouches for something they can post it on their server and it can be viewed elsewhere.
generative AI makes it very easy for anyone to flood the internet with generated text, audio, images, and videos.
And? There's already way too much data online to read or watch all of it. We could just move to a "watermark" system where everyone takes credit for their contributions. Things without watermarks could just be dismissed, since they have as much authority as an anonymous comment.
Was actually reading about this earlier. "Atra-Hasis" is the literary precursor to Noah. He saves people in the oldest flood myth (that we know of). So imagine this person is saying that Noah hung out with aliens.

Also, the myth doesn't mention aliens at all.
True. This is just "freedom of association". Groups (like political parties) do not have to accept everyone regardless of how they behave.
Gavin Newsom is fine, but not nearly as good as Biden or even his predecessor as Governor of CA. Jerry Brown was a much better governor.
Gavin Newsom will do what voters want, but mainly because it makes him feel powerful. I remember seeing a new statue on Market Street in San Francisco when he was mayor; it had the artist's name in little tiny letters and "GAVIN NEWSOM" in big letters.
From the local news article:

“We heard him say ‘what a bunch of useful idiots,’” said Micah. “He got about halfway down the block and I turned around and I said, ‘What did you say?’
Don't ever ask someone "what did you say?" if you think they insulted you. You're literally asking to be insulted again and there's no upside.
Noah is a Babylonian "deluge myth". Judaism didn't even exist until 1,000 years later:
It tells of how Enki, speaking through a reed wall,[v] warns the hero Atra-Hasis ('extremely wise') of Enlil's plan to destroy mankind by flood, telling the hero to dismantle his house (perhaps to provide a construction site) and build a boat to escape
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atra-Hasis
The worship of Yahweh alone began at the earliest with prophet Elijah in the 9th century BCE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahwism
This means that originally the flood was caused by one god and mankind was saved by another. That's a better explanation than "God was angry but bipolar, so he saved one family and killed everyone else."
The Constitution can't be changed that easily. There's no reason for the State of New York to give up the case, even if it were possible to do. And there's no way to compel it, considering the issue is NY State law.
That's not how Federalism works. The President is not a member of any state government, and has no immunity from state crimes. There's no way to move this case from state court to federal.
Klay is an ok defender, but you're comparing him to his elite 2-way self from 2016-2018. Of course he doesn't look as good, but he's fine. Just older.
Defense is mainly effort anyway. Since the Mavericks will have a third shooter on offense, that will preserve their effort for defense.
Now teams will have trouble covering three good shooters. I've seen it on the Warriors and it's tough to defend. It will make opponents work harder to defend them, leaving the other team with less energy for their offense.
The Biden administration is moving Ukraine ahead of other countries that were slated to receive air defense missiles, the latest move in its effort to rush urgently needed weapons to Kyiv.
The U.S. will “reprioritize” deliveries of Patriots and National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems missiles planned for a select group of other countries so that the munitions coming off the production line will instead go to Ukraine, John Kirby, spokesperson for the National Security Council, announced Thursday.
I had an idea that would allow people to buy their own homes that they are currently renting:
- Every home gets appraised to determine what it would sell for. This is done by the county and is used for property taxes too.
- Every renter is allowed to buy a percentage of their primary residence from the owner. The owner has no choice in this. It's a requirement for being able to rent a property. Edit: Since people are confused about this, the renter is not required to buy anything. They have an option to buy.
- Renters can pay as little as $100 extra per month and the county puts their percentage ownership on the deed. If the home is sold, the renter can't be kicked out involuntarily. If they do leave, they get the percentage of home value they own.
Pros:
- This would avoid the issue of high interest rates hurting primary homeownership.
- This would blunt the impact of corporate landlords having a monopoly where they refuse to sell. They are forced to sell at a fair price.
- This would create a simple decision between owning their home and spending money on luxuries or eating out.
Cons:
- This would hurt small landlords who would have their property bought out from under them. This is actually a good thing because the benefits of rising property values are now shared.
- The implementation is hard. This is actually a good thing because bad landlords would sell property they didn't want to manage, lowering prices for renters who want to buy.
- It would cost the county money to hire appraisers. But this could be paid for by increased property taxes due to better appraisals.
- Property taxes would go up for landlords. But this would be good, as it encourages them to sell the property. This appraisal process and increased property taxes wouldn't affect people who just lived in their home without charging rent.
The president said his Republican rival “snapped” after his 2020 election loss and would now pose a greater threat to the U.S. in a second term.
> “Something snapped in this guy—for real—when he lost in 2020,” Biden said. “He can’t accept the fact that he lost, it’s literally driving him crazy.”

You can't cut any taxes or programs to fund your idea. Nothing else in your government is going to change. It can't be a tax that you avoid somehow. The money comes from you and similar people in your situation. Don't try to get around it in some way.
What would you pay more taxes to support?
Women do not see it that way, and that could matter this fall.
The House speaker threatened to call in the National Guard on Columbia protesters during a speech in the middle of campus.
Satellite imagery analysis by BBC Verify reveals damage from Friday's Israeli strike on Iran
Looks like the missile hit a radar dish.
>Satellite imagery released over the past 24 hours has revealed evidence of probable damage at an Iranian air base following an Israeli strike in the early hours of Friday morning.
>Iran says the attack involved drones that were neutralised by air defences.
>An Umbra Space image captured after Friday's strike shows damage and debris around one component - probably a radar - which has also shifted position slightly. > >This assessment was confirmed by an optical satellite image captured by Planet which, despite low resolution, shows a scorch mark at the same location.
Major freight railroads will have to maintain two-person crews in most circumstances under a new federal rule.
>“As trains — many carrying hazardous material — have grown longer, crews should not be getting smaller,” said Eddie Hall, the president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen union. He praised the FRA for taking the step President Joe Biden promised. Hall said keeping two people in the cab of a locomotive is crucial now that railroads rely on longer trains that routinely stretch for miles.
Negotiations were underway to post a $557 million bond when an appeals court reduced the bond, according to one of the participants, billionaire Don Hankey.
Looks like it actually was possible to bond the whole amount.
>Don Hankey, the billionaire chairman of Knight Insurance Group, told NBC News he was negotiating to post a far heftier bond of $557 million with the Trump Organization when the state Appellate Division lowered the size of the required bond to $175 million.
On Super Tuesday, the former president lost the state of Vermont and more than 2 million votes to Nikki Haley.
Despite resounding victories on Super Tuesday, there are indications that Donald Trump is still struggling to get strong, united Republican support, which he may need in the presidential election.
---
Speaking to CNN about the Super Tuesday results, columnist and political commentator Molly Jong-Fast said: "There is a real 'Never Trump' contingent, and remember, Trump is a primary candidate. He has only ever tried to appeal to Republican primary voters, and he cannot marshal that group together the way he needs to.
"Part of his trick in 2016 was, he got these low-frequency voters out, these people who almost never voted, which is why the polling was so off, and you're just not seeing that same type of enthusiasm."
Separately, over 50 attorneys general from both political parties wrote to Life Corp and its owner and executives on Tuesday as part of the nationwide Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force, warning them to immediately cease any unlawful call traffic or risk being found in violation of consumer protection laws.
