No, let's not. There is a difference here. Does the US use its nationals to beat up Americans with the wrong political affiliation during peaceful protests (like turkey does) or have a family member call from the US to let them know they have been detained because of an opinion the American expressed while in the Netherlands, like china does? Or send groups of people to beat up their countrymen for having a political rally here like Eritrea does? All these things happened in the last year.. and also before that.

We had instances of Chinese police outposts in the Hague and Eritrean nationals showing up with fighting groups to let their countrymen know they dislike their political affiliation using large street brawls that required riot police to break up.. so yeah.

History doesn't repeat but it does rhyme. A lot of this kind of stuff happened in the taxi world in the Netherlands and other countries, leading to heavy regulation of the taxi branch.

Intransparent pricing, price gouging customers, violent conflicts between taxi companies. Then the tech bros came in, started trying to offer rides by unlicensed drivers, using whatever vehicle the driver had, called it surge pricing and tried to claim the rules did not apply to them.

And now you see some places have come full circle.

This is how you end up with laws mandating paper cards with pricing information.

The wiki article is well maintained and up to date: Suspicious death of notable Russians 2022-2024

The vote difference in Georgia was less than 12K votes..

I'm betting more that the excess mortality of republicans was easily 12k more than democrat excess deaths during Covid... The more hardline/republiQan/Nuts, the more anti-mask and prone to risky behavior during the pandemic, the more excess deaths.. especially at the beginning with the OG (die-in-the-intensive-care-hooked-up-to-a-vebtilator) variant.

Excellent proof of why these systems should not exist under these conditions. Apparently it's poorly managed and governed

Yup, same here.

The venn Diagram does have overlaps for these groups and unfortunately the loudest most insufferable variants are the ones you hear about the most, the ones that give every side a bad taste in Their mouths.

But good news for everyone, and this guy in particular that there still is a space for his freedom of expression. A well thought out position that holds up to scrutiny should not lead to retaliation from the employer. Every well thought out position is a trade off between priorities and a difference in where priorities are placed.

Or in locations people don't want to live.. cause no jobs, or other reasons.

I watched the whole thing, if this is what "acing it" looks like, the Dems have big issues. (Or Donald has lowered all expectations so dramatically it is also worth a little cry in the corner). The questions were stupid, her answers meek at best. I worry for the US and I worry for the world.

Edit: the fox news interviewer was a disrespectful SOB.

He will claim is was a joke in court.

It is using a very narrow set of definitions to find a group especially sensitive to a particular voting subject and targeting the ad to that micro group.

This allows you to be as specific as sending an ad to 13 year old, red headed, boys, named Ryan living in Pensacola.

Used for political goals you can make very specific ads for each group of people.

Or its to emphasise where you actually make your money. A lot of people in offices far away from where the money is earned end up making up convoluted versions of reality to fit their processes, applications and such. Making everyone do a day on the floor of the business emphasizes that this part of the business is key.

It can be done the right way too. My wife's company does something similar and it helps a lot with how the back office thinks of processes. They also are encouraged to use these informal contacts to check new things they imagine would be helpful. They have scrapped entire projects after collecting feedback and running fields tests this way. At the same time their front line feels they can actually provide feedback that is heard.

I'd say the requests for purge should be made public. It then only takes a few of these people to go to court and sue the people making the purge requests.

Hell I'd argue the government should be arresting these people making wholesale purge requests.

Untill that time, purge requests must be done manually through a convoluted form on the site, proof must be provided in specific structure and format, an accompanying form must be filled in and an affadavit must be signed scanned and included for each.

Edit: spellingz

That was hilarious...

It's a very small pool there.. I remember it's like 3 or something and 1 is parttime.

Wow.. such incompetence.

Also, wow some people's hobbies.. checking memory allocations and kernel behavior.

You forgot to set your language buddy

Sure.. mostly they do.. but then captains are drunk, maintenance is poor and the insurance declines to pay.. or drags that out through court for 2 decades.. meanwhile governments have to foot the bill. The examples are endless unfortunately.
