Fortunately for me, an American citizen, I fully understand that my democratically “elected” leaders absolutely have fuck-all to do with what I personally want, or even what the vast majority of people actually want. Of course this means my life is way worse then it could be, but morally I’m in the clear.

Ain’t no way America is going back to the moon.

Great song. Though you seem to have missed the point.

That isn’t actually NASA’s fault. But if your main complaint about NASA is the money it spends, then you just might be a reactionary in desperate need of reeducation.

TIL I could still join the army if I were so inclined.

I can’t believe how pandering he is. Doing things that are low effort, and are broadly agreed to be functions of the government, all for what? To “get votes?” Absurd. What about the serious and important grifting work that needs to be done? What about the PoC that weren’t consulted about this intrusion into their neighborhood?

I mean killing the developer is whatever, maybe he deserved it, maye it was personal, maybe it was revolutionary, but why stay around long enough for the body to decompose?

Nah it’s just normal third-way privatization. But of course if the dems leave the door open for fascism, they will just act shocked when fascism finds it.

That’s really the root of it.

Why do you think he is a sellout? He was funded by AIPAC from the beginning, and the DNC (also a full throated aipac suppoter) made him the only choice from the beginning.

Blue No matter who am i right guys?

I don’t like the idea of “banning” users from accessing a website. But I am certainly in favor of banning sovereign companies from doing business with the company that owns a website, and seizing any physical assets that the website company owns within the laws reach.

Fetterman gets his turn at being the rotating villain for why the dems can’t fillibuster the funding bill.

Just the dumbest people drifting through life enabled by the worst people (who are also pretty dumb).

Sorry. Mea Culpa. I was expressing my frustration with the spirit of the law, making discussion about the details of the law moot. My comment was directed at the contents you posted, not at you for posting them.

Removed by mod

There is A LOT context missing here. The “speedboat” apparently had at least 10 people in it (4 killed 6 wounded, possibly some unwounded?) The people in the speedboat apparently had some fairly serious armaments. I doubt it was just some pistols as those aren’t very effective at the ranges that boats are engaging on the open water. Additionally there do exist rich Americans that will make trips to Cuba by boat and they are normally allowed even if they are intercepted by Cuban inter-coastal forces. So the fact that this time they fired at the Cuban forces, tells me there was certainly something else happening.

I fully believe that a bunch of dumbass Floridian boaters would just pop off and fire on another boat after crossing territorial boundaries, 100%.

These dumb bastards are lucky that other countries aren’t going full Hegseth.

This kind of take is brain dead though.

we should instead ban advertising

This is the solution. If companies cannot profit off of their platforms, they will not have them any longer. Literally just ban all advertising. Amend all free-speech laws in all countries to define speech as rights of individual citizens, with corporations explicitly excluded.

I guess if you don’t see any difference between a government supported telecom company and a company that exists in different nation that has a necessarily hostile relationship to the local government, then sure they are comparable.

Well obviously the sub contractor has friend who was sub contracting for the shell company that manages government contracts for their buddy 5star General who worked at the pentagon and died shortly after they green-lit the construction of the carrier, didn’t do a good job. But what can you do? There is money to be made, and at the end of the day the functionality of what the contract specified isn’t a requirement for getting paid.
