There is no possible way I'm going to like this.

I am not interested in anyone's "interpretation" of Pratchett's work. It needs no interpreting. It's damn near a masterpiece.

So he's just trying to stop anyone from trading with us, is he?

I don't belive the headline is accurate, based on my reading of the article.

It looks line they area going to continue reading the food for safety. What they have stopped doing is making sure the tests are run properly.

I'm not suggesting that this is a noteworthy improvement, nor am I 100% sure my reading is correct. But I prefer the accurate information to the inaccurate.

At risk of being political, I think that's called "being a Democrat."

I really hate it when people I agree with use such terrible flawed arguments to support my ideals.

I use my wife. She's an artist, and has an eye for such things.

Not sure how the rest of you feel, but I consider the "double tap" style of attack to be a war crime. Whoever pressed the button the second time needs to be court martialed, every person who passed the order along needs to be court martialed harder, and the person who gave the order in the first place, along with whoever came up with the idea, needs to be hung by the neck until dead.

Empty words should never be considered as a start.

I was trying to recall what I had from that company. Spirit island is a delightful game.

No policy in the world will stop minors from using the app. I can't tell you how many "I am 18+" dialogues I clicked on when I was younger. You want access restrictions.

Do you want to scan your id every time you open the discord app?

The second warming. Well done.

Can you explain the fringe thing to me, too?

If this isn't 3AM, then nothing is.

Or a mistake.

Yea, an "administrative error," like what landed that one gentleman in El Salvador, right?

On the one hand, I suppose that depends on who is defining "basic human rights." I'm pretty sure the Trump Convoys would claim that's what they were doing.

On the other hand, the question was on riots, not on rights. Not all riots are justified.

I'm not saying I approve of what he's doing. Quite the contrary.

But it's what he's asking, and how he's asking, not that he's asking.

There is no legal basis for this fight. Do you pollen to start shooting tax collectors?

I have the worst lawyer.

Trying to control the way other countries are run is fucking wild, the notion of which should never even be remotely entertained.

In happier times, we call the process "diplomacy," and mostly limit it to things that affect us, directly or indirectly.

But pressuring other countries to, for example, clean up their corruption so we can reliably do business with them is common. (Also hilariously hypocritical) Pressuring other countries to enact civil rights laws is fairly common, too.

I have to admit, seeing pressure to remove civil rights is unusual, at least from countries not named UAE.
