Civil war starts when your country invades ours
...
Ohhh, when the USA erupts in civil war AFTER they invade us. I initially thought that you were saying America invading us would be civil war
Well
I appreciate your point. A few months ago I was in a discussion with someone on Lemmy about the strategy of maliciously complying with someone that has insincerely stated a preference for neo-pronouns. The example in the discussion was Elon Musk claiming "prosecute/Fauci" as pronouns, but insincere pronouns aren't necessarily so easily spotted. (My position was and is that it's okay to maliciously comply with someone's professed pronouns to demonstrate that person's insincerity)
If you're not tired of tutoring ignorant allies I'd really appreciate your opinion on that dilemma.
I have inattentive type adhd as well, and was also diagnosed as an adult. I think It's normal to feel frustrated/disheartened as you grapple with it. I also recently mentioned to someone that I think I may have an emotional range that's narrower than typical.
My wife, doctor, occupational therapist (I'm on short term disability because my I developed an anxiety problem that was causing me to spiral), and lawyer (I was told there isn't a job for me to come back to when I'm better) all delicately danced around the prospect of depression/suidality. I'm lucky that I have some great things in my life that make it easy to tackle those questions head on.
Talk to a specialist.
I mean the steel and aluminum will probably be sold to China so I'm not sure how much better that is in terms of dictatorship, but they are more stable/reliable I suppose.
This is going to cause curtailments at plants, and real hardships for some whole communities.
The only things i look for in a shoe are small pieces of gravel that sometimes get in there.
But seriously: comfort/ support, and a big 'Ole loop on the back to make them easy to pull on.
Reminds me of the middle third of a song by propagandhi from their 1993 album "how to clean everything"
An amalgamation of jewish scripture and christian thought. What will that get you? Not a fuck of a lot. Take a look at your promised land. Your deed is that gun in your hand. Mt. Zion’s a minefield, The West Bank, The Gaza strip… Soon to be parking lots... for American tourists and fascist cops. Fuck zionism. Fuck militarism. Fuck americanism. Fuck nationalism. Fuck religion.
The last third of the song is them just singing fuck religion over and over again. The first third is about rastafarianism.
What unhealthy eating habit are you indulging in at 21:45?
It wasn't "insisting on their right to secede" it was "attacking Fort Sumter to exercise a supposed right to secede"
I'm not very impressed with this opinion article.
In the section titled "the problem with advance consent" it spends four paragraphs talking about things unrelated to advance consent, and then just says "what if the patient would feel differently now that they have more experience".
Idon't want our society to be killing people because they live in poverty that gives them unbearable health issues. But we shouldn't be preventing all people with unbearable health issues from dying with dignity while we sort that out, and we shouldn't be denying those in poverty the same right. We need to eliminate poverty. Maybe there is inadequate oversight and accountability of maid but the article doesn't make any suggestions. This article feels like a person dogmatically opposed to maid throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks
I hope this is a sign of faltering Russian logistics, but I'm not certain.
If I'm trying to move heavy cartons across uneven, partially frozen, partially muddy ground I think a donkey/ mule is a very convenient* solution. Unlike an ATV you can get it right into the foxhole, and with a rope you don't need to be in the "red mist" zone of any exploding cartons.
*I say that, having never mucked out a stable or anything.
they're unreliable as a business partner
We should ask Ukraine if the USA is reliable as a military partner.
Who could have predicted that building a movement around getting rid of one person could have any shortcomings.
I don't watch a lot of film, is it that these guys use the Nicholas Cage "let the editor do all the acting" technique?
Finally some populism I can get behind.
I believe so. Irecall my dad saying that when he contacted the owner to explain the situation and offer compensation, the farmer said not to worry about it.
I heard this comment
My dad once had an engine failure shortly after take off, and had to ditch into a bean field. He was fine plane was only a little damaged. I helped him fix the wheel, and get the plane (well, ultralight) to the highest corner of the field so that he could take off down the hill.
I recall from elementary game theory that the ability to provably bind oneself to an action (ie make a promise you can't back out of) is extremely valuable in negotiation. It is hugely important in our day to day lives (loans, service contracts etc), but also politics.
The US ability to have people believe their promises has been shredded by Trump (Eg Iran Nuclear Treaty). We just renegotiated NAFTA to the USMCA, and now all of a sudden it's no good? How can we trust that this deal will last more than 15 minutes? How can we have any sort of partnership with an organization like this?
It's really disappointing that there is so much opposition to the existence of sogi minority people. My position is that rainbow crosswalks should not be installed in places where people with minority sogi are not safe.
It's sort of a self selection. We shouldn't tell people with minority sogi they are safe and welcome if they are not.
At least Removed Richard keeps it as an adjective instead of making it a verb.

Donald Trump's sentencing was postponed to after the election to avoid any appearance of election interference. Can he be sentenced while he is President Elect?

Vancouver police report that they seized $60k in drugs, and a loaded gun after stopping a no-helmet cyclist
