Mfw the Iraq war was actually over in 2004 :o

Yeah, I know British news doesn’t have a uhhhhhh great history.

Based on the article, it sounds like they may be exaggerating the word “assault” given they gave no specifics, and it sounds like the judge legally wasn’t allowed to consider that case during the hearing.

I’d rather that it be difficult to remove immigrants than too easy to.

Does anyone have more info on this situation? This article is super sussy.

TBF things look pretty different if you go back to 2015 like McDonald’s is alleging.

EDIT: To me, it really looks like COVID was the big factor impacting price though.

Lmao. Insanity. Man is hella hyped on Russian propaganda. Did he forget about Jerusalem?

Man, I’m not sure it would help when half the country doesn’t believe Trump tried to overthrow democracy.

For those who didn’t skim the article, they’re donating to far right candidates in primaries hoping it will make Republican chances of winning lower.

To be fair, the rambling did make the latest presidential debate very watchable compared to previous ones 😂

I can’t imagine the difficulty of resolving this, especially since most of the AI models are available for free use.

Plus the filibuster requires 2/3, not a simple majority to get anything done.

Yeah, I think Skyrim was good, and I liked Fallout 3/New Vegas, but nothing has majorly changed since those two games other than the graphics. I watched my friend play Starfield and realized that in my opinion, it was just more of the same with a space skin.

I think games can be bad because of the employees not making good games, but for reasonable circumstances. If the employees are making bad products, and management is actually decent, it would be because they’re demotivated and demoralized from poor pay, benefits, and working conditions.

Does this mean they’ll make good games again? 👀

Yeah, look into the NY public funding going into ultra Orthodox schools. It’s depressing.

After the rumors of South Korea building tanks in eastern Europe, this move do be making sense. I wonder if NATO will ever expand to include Pacific partners?

If you want recs, I’d try different pharmacies and if you can different stimulants.

Yeah, this isn’t at all surprising. It’s not like they’re an organized military. With limited encrypted communications, it’s probably impossible for the Hamas leadership to keep track of what’s going on.

Yet the overwhelming majority of the time, they’ve committed a crime. There may be systematic issues in the justice system, and US that lead to the higher conviction rates/arrest rates, but we have the right to appeal, the right to representation, and our criminal justice system is regularly investigated and publicized.

On the flip side, on a mass scale in Xinjiang, people are being systematically targeted, sterilized, tortured, being forced to work, etc. solely because of their culture and skin color.

The two systems are very different. Two things can be bad, and one of those bad things can be substantially worse. It’s like wondering why Texas will execute a serial killer, but not someone who punched someone at a bar. Both things are bad, but the scale is completely different.

Having the red line as genocide, or as slavery from the buying and selling of people feels like a pretty safe line to have. Blocking goods is a very serious move in international relations.

The US justice system is not inherently racist, it’s systematically racist, which isn’t good, but is a different thing. Nearly every person in the US prison system is there because they committed a crime. The people in Xinjiang did nothing but have the wrong culture and skin color. It’s still a false equivalency.

Anyone can involve themselves and investigate the US court system, they can file complaints, they can sue for unfair treatment etc. International monitors are barred from Xinjiang.

Forcing prisoners to repay a debt to society through labor, and forcing the minority you’re actively genociding to produce goods feel like two very different things.

I strongly disagree with US prison labor, and our prison system’s focus on punishment and repayment rather than actually correcting the behaviors, but it’s legal by the US constitution.

The US DoL has an article on the situation with these laborers in China. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/against-their-will-the-situation-in-xinjiang
