"Let's be honest"

You just want him to concede your point so you feel better. You are not being his friend. Israel is under no definition committing genocide. Please self-reflect and admit this to yourself. Alas your position is too extreme and unwilling to change.

You have terribly disingenuous rhetoric.

I do think they made some sound monetary decisions in their financial markets given how much nonsense the US deals with. I do think you are discounting the capitalism side and give too much weight to the governance side though. Really there's more nuance to both our sides, I don't feel internet comments is rly the best way to try and convey it.

Of all of em Zuck seems to be at highest risk of some wildcard stuff happening. Unless musk or bezos personally get on rocket.

I don't wish ill of anyone ofc but with his forays into extreme forms of recreation and aviation and such there's a chance of a different surprise story.

They are defending the author in this case though. Im sure they bully authors plenty too, but I'm pretty sure they keep some around for allegations of libel and other complications where they have the authors back.

Can you source this? Does Russia have immigrants constantly coming in from these countries that claim to dislike it?(this isn't anything about immigration policy)

My workplace is over 50% Hispanic out on the warehouse floor. They are here because they prefer America, not because they hate it.

China started rising when it allowed capitalism in its special economic zones. Private capital had a big part in it. Shenzhen was given that status in the early 80s.

If Russia wants the international version of suicide by cop. Invading US soil is the next tier up from invading Russia in winter in military blunders. No one has been stupid enough to try since 1812 when the British navy ruled. And they couldn't achieve any meaningful goals.

How does that even work? Like you can't use Swiss ammo against European nations or what? It just seems to make it literally(not figuratively) worthless.

We also wrote their constitution that they can't have a military.

They still have the jdf but we kinda forced this position, it's a bit of a baffling question.

As someone who doesn't go to church or watch fox perhaps I've missed it, but all I've seen are refutations of this, for instance highly upvoted posts saying "x days of not regretting my vote" as of a few days ago.

Id be curious to see the data if there are any articles or polls that show a large amount of Trump voters regretting their pick. Thanks.

I wasn't sure where to say it but your comment seems appropriate. It must impact install numbers when companies(ones I've been at) only want you to use chrome. Wasn't really an option for our regular staff. I was able to get away with using ff.

Agree as well - I still end up mostly using Google search, tho half the time when I don't get any decent results I realize it wasn't that important anyways. Interesting side effect of poor search results.

I too want ableton on Linux but then what about our vsts. Would we need a Linux version for all those too?

I still use 7 on my offline pcs. Its still such a fantastic operating system and I don't see us getting another like it from ms. I'm one of those nostalgia folks who can't move on. People are certainly feeling the same way 10 to 11.

That rule can always be gamed too, heh. I felt it went 8 bad, 8.1 good, 10 bad. Then 11 broke the pattern.

I got an old dell mfp 3115 from a business that was moving for about a hundred bucks. I've never replaced the toner since I got it almost a decade ago and still have a compatible replacements. I've printed hundreds and hundreds of pages. I'll probably use it for the rest of my life or until I can't get the drivers to work. If you have the space something like that is an option.

Seems like a massive hazard if a natural thing severs a cable and requires maintenance. Plus the removal at some point, presumably. Would suck for true accidents to have human lives on top of the damage.

I imagine there must be some other deterrent measure but drawing a blank. My brother was the navy man...

That program shaped my brain in ways I can't articulate. Took things I learned about computers and animation as an 11yo for granted as basic knowledge.
