If I'm going for this interpretation, then I just send the GIF.

Mozilla agrees that we need to improve search competition, but the DOJ’s proposed remedies unnecessarily risk harming browser competition instead.

The only one hurting browser competition is Mozilla. They want to keep sucking at the teat of BigTech. They don't want to be a non-profit with a focused mission, constrained by recurring and one-off revenues. They want to be an adtech company, bUt wiTH pRivAcY. The judge should absolutely rip the band-aid off. If Mozilla sinks, it sinks.

You know, the thing that always seemed really scary about the OG Nazis is that they were competent, intelligent, put-together people that were just fucking evil. Then you look at the US Nazis and the fucking bozo density is off the charts, but they seem to be succeeding anyway.

Not every fascist and Nazi needed to be competent, intelligent, and put-together. Just enough of them. I suppose we'll find out in real-time if they have amassed sufficient numbers this go 'round.

Holy shit that's fuckin' awesome XD

Turning to Taiwan this is the opposite, it would be a very concentrated battle and anti-drone systems should be more effective simply because its a smaller area.

China already achieved military superiority over the US and the conflict will be decided over naval superiority by destroying or even damaging the US carrier fleet. In fact I do like the theory sinking a US carrier would be far worse than 9/11 for the average population and internal US politics, although perhaps that would mean accepting a WW3.

I don't know how an attack on Taiwan by America would even work without dragging the whole region into the conflict. America's industrial "base" is several thousand miles away from the battlefield. They'd have to be operating from friendly neighboring countries to even have a chance of keeping up a fight, much less winning it.

Strictly speaking, you can download it directly from their website, but IIRC, the build will still default to trying to use Google Play Services, and only fall back to a different service if Google Play Services is not on the device. Signal really, really wants to give Google insight into who is messaging who.

That most of what the opposition is claiming is proof of their victory, is actually unverified receipts that have not been certified by poll workers after they sample the actual ballots to confirm covergence towards the computer's numbers. The ballots are the source of truth, not the computer's receipts.

I’m not sure I believe it. You would be evaluated and either discharged or committed to the psych ward within the first day, you wouldn’t be kept in emergency in-patient.

I can see a couple scenarios:

1. The ED is so backed up that it took two days to evaluate the patient at all
2. The patient doesn't understand the difference between being in the ED and getting admitted/transferred to a separate psych ward and just said "I was in the ER for two days"

Damn. Even the union (and the AFL-CIO!) didn't want their community to have their own power. Marx continues to be burdened by the weight of being right all the time:

[Unions] fail partially from an injudicious use of their power. They fail generally from limiting themselves to a guerrilla war against the effects of the existing system, instead of simultaneously trying to change it, instead of using their organised forces as a lever for the final emancipation of the working class…

The US has a massive racialized prison industrial complex. 25% of the world's prison population. It's The New Jim Crow. And that's all before Guantanamo.

Good luck. The USSR collapsed 30+ years ago and was in decline since 50+ years ago. The odds of that person having actually lived through anything other than shock therapy or revisionism are small.
