Not before she has an agreement with Mr Trump that she can show off.

You are equating Israel to all Jewish people.

No I’m not. I’m saying it’s close to the rhetoric from 100 years ago, not the same.

That’s offensive!

To whom? I personally find it offensive, that you would try such a cheap trick to end this argument. Purposefully misinterpreting my comment in an attempt to get me to look antisemitic? Seriously?

This is such a weird stance for American companies and politicians. It truly blows my mind. You can say whatever you want about Americans or anything here. You can even say the president is a pedophile and it’s fine (even if it wasn’t true) but the second you say something bad about Israel because they suck everyone starts flipping their shit.

With you so far.

It’s like our whole country is secretly run by Israel or something.

DANGER WILL ROBINSON: That’s cutting it pretty darn close to the whole Jewish cabal bullshit. Your country is not secretly run by Israel. It’s run by reactionary old farts, who’s more afraid of being called antisemitic, than they value human rights.

IDK what it is, I think it’s some kinda candy

I’d be pissed if I’d found out about Ozzy this way, but Hulk Hogan? IDK, it seems appropriate

I get what you’re saying. I guess what I’m yelling at the clouds about is the common discourse more than anything else.

If a screw has a slotted head, and your screwdriver is a torx, few people would say that the screwdriver won’t allow them to do something.

Computers are just tools, and we’re the ones who created them. We shouldn’t be submissive, we should acknowledge that we have taken the wrong approach at solving something and do it a different way. Just like I would bitch about never having the correct screwdriver handy, and then go look for the right one.

Which is our right. I paid for the phone. Google, Samsung, and Apple aren’t fucking paying me.

There, I fixed it. It’s time for a new FOSS phone OS to take over. GrapheneOS looks nice, but it only runs on select Google pixel devices. Maybe if phone manufacturers were forced to let the user chose their OS?

Stupid cloud, who’s laughing now?

I get the analogy, but I don’t think that it’s valid. Soldiers are, much to the chagrin of their commanders, sentient beings, and should question potentially illegal orders.

Where the analogy doesn’t hold is, besides my computer not being sentient, what I’m prevented from doing isn’t against the law of man.

I’m not claiming to be infallible. After all to err is human, and I’m indeed very human. But throw me a warning when I do something that goes against best practices, that’s fine. Whether I deal with it is something for me to decide. But stopping me from doing what I’m trying to do, because it’s potentially problematic? GTFO with that kinda BS.

But it will let you do it if you really want to.

Now, I’ve seen this a couple of times in this post. The idea that the compiler will let you do anything is so bizarre to me. It’s not a matter of being allowed by the software to do anything. The software will do what you goddamn tell it to do, or it gets replaced.

WE’RE the humans, we’re not asking some silicon diodes for permission. What the actual fuck?!? We created the fucking thing to do our bidding, and now we’re all oh pwueez mr computer sir, may I have another ADC EAX, R13? FUCK THAT! Either the computer performs like the tool it is, or it goes the way of broken hammers and lawnmowers!

There’s an easy solution: keep buying it, break the seal to get to the message, then return it. Have your friends do the same, at the same store. Pretty soon that product will be gone and you can move on to the next store.

If the store starts to bitch about it, you can claim that you wanted to see if the statement had been removed.

There was a time when all you needed to call in a prescription in Denmark, was the doctors authorization number… Which was publicly available. Sure if you called in a prescription at a pharmacy across the country or sounded suspicious, the pharmacy would make a call back, but other than that all you had to do was pick a doctor in an area with lots of other doctors and near a large pharmacy, and you’d get whatever you liked.

It must have been so for +10 years before a journalist and a doctor blew it up, by having the journalist phone in prescriptions for morphine, barbiturates, and other recreationally applicable substances. I don’t know if a doctor can still phone in prescriptions, but the immediate stop gap was to only accept prescriptions accompanied by the doctor’s personal, and crucially private, SSN.

Let’s see when a latin American person wins, whether Trump refuses to shake hands

What a mighty warrior, he’d be dead with the first chemical strike.

As was mentioned last time this was posted, it’s a matter of being able to use gas masks properly. If the masks don’t form a seal with the skin the wearer is dead.

When was the last time the US fought an enemy with a credible chemical stockpile? That’s why it hasn’t been important the last 30years. But Russia has shown to still possess chemical weapons and the will to use them. North Korea is known to have CW in their arsenal, and it would be naïve to assume that the PRC doesn’t.

At the moment allies for WW3 are still blurry, but I guess it’s better safe than sorry. So it’s not a rule intentionally targeting black people, it’s protecting all soldiers. The rest of NATO should probably enforce the same rule.

Tourism is down? No shit!

I’m in a situation where I might have to travel with a group of students, and big boss is dead set on the US. We’re talking overtime, plane tickets, car rental, hotel, and a per diem. But still I’m resigning before I’ll go to the US right now. If ICE or CBP sees 10% of the stuff I’ve said about TACO, and politics in general, online, I’d be lucky to just get shipped home.

And up in 1936 on account of the Olympics. You’ll never guess who’s hosting the 2028 games.

TBF, I’m an engineer and I consider statistics dark magic… Only less so than its satanic cousin: probability.

65? 65?!? My expected retirement age is 7-goddamn-2 and considering that’s in the 2050s shit could happen to that plan in the meantime…

Aren’t both Israelis and Palestinians part of the group known as Semitic people?
