we’re not all robots

Sounds like something a robot would say...

Best review of it I read was:

"DFW is a perfect example of what happens when people think they are above editing."

I've honestly never made it through the whole thing.

Tried to, back in the day. It's one of those things that's expected of you if you want to be a proper turtleneck wearing, pretentious literati as a university student. (I was a douche, okay...I admit it...it's the same reason I fought my way through War and Peace and Foucault's Pendulum) But I'm much better now.

(and yes...I had the soul patch and everything)

It's a pretext for invasion. Just like invading Afganistan was to intervene in order to get Al-Queda. Or invading Iraq was about getting the Taliban... etc... etc... etc...

If America wants a war with someone for oil/economic pressure/etc... (really whatever reason they choose to make up) they simply say that there are terrorists there.

I'm calling it now and saying that in two weeks he declares the Quebec Sovereignty movement a terrorist organization for reasons...

It makes me feel old to admit it's retro, but Gran Turismo on Playstation.

Ukraine should strike a deal for those minerals with the European Union as a way to tell Trump to go fuck himself.

Thanks!

So basically a question of natural barriers and I guess you could call it "standardization"; different provinces having different rules.

Portugal - Bacalhau á Gomes de Sá Salted Cod Cassarole

Absolutely my favourite meal ever.

I gather that these kinds of barriers have likely been up for a very long time, long before I was old enough to really understand them.

So here I am at 48 years old trying to wrap my brain around why there were internal trade barriers in the first place. What reasons were given when they were first put up?

Please explain it as you would a child...

Call his bluff.

American soft power around the globe relies on having those bases on foreign soil.

I use Syncthing to keep various folders synced between my desktop, laptop, phone and tablet.

Most of the folders are just between laptop and desktop (writing, art, etc...) and my phone's camera folder is set up to share to the desktop so it syncs as soon as I take a picture.

Bowtie pasta.

It's alphaghetti for yuppies.

I believe the term is "Fifth Column traitors", all of whom should be put up against a wall and suffer a traitor's fate.

Is there a way to login with my mstdn.ca account like I can with the main server?

Gen X - Dazed and Confused

I'll give you a hint. It starts with an "e" and ends with "mbezzlement"

His entire plan is to cut as much as he can and funnel it back to himself and his billionaire friends. He's not looking to cut waste, he's looking to redirect it.

This is great! Thanks!

Those dreadfully dangerous Antifa terrorists sure have gone silent too, haven't they.

It's almost as though they never existed.

Right now, we need Antifa to be everything that the right wings pretended Antifa was.

I somewhat believe that there won't be a U.S. if that begins to happen. At some point, the states themselves will have to do something drastic for their own sake rather than let that idiot do something so inconceivably bad as starting a global conflict.

Maybe it's unfounded optimism, but I feel like the United States would self-immolate before a war against the EU could take off.
