  • To be fair they literally asked for it and continue to do so by taking and not releasing the hostages.

    Edit: It doesn't help that when killed the other civilians refer to them as martyrs. The whole thing is incredibly ugly and done for imo stupid reasons on both sides.

  • Not an American, but AOC is who I hope the Dems go with next time. She's the only thing I envy about your political situation atm.

  • Yeah it's a ridiculous stance to take, particularly for WWII. Of the 6/7 continents (Antarctica not included) only Africa and Australia were colonial participants. US, UK, France, Japan, Germany, China, Russia all were not colonies. Direct conflict occurred on Africa by Germany and Japan bombed Australia. Thus to say 'WWII' is a propaganda title to make it sound bigger than it was is at best a pedantic argument as all continents (except Antarctica) were affected by a non-colonial belligerent.

  • Yes and totally had nothing to do with the fact the belligerents were on all continents except Antartica. Total propaganda with no basis in accuracy whatsoever.

  • This headline a few centuries ago: How trade with the New World tragically turned its noble indigenous peoples into alcoholics.

  • Celsius is just as good at describing temperatures humans experience. Every 5o is 'category':

    < -10o Cripes it's cold!

    -10 to -5o Cold

    -5 to 0o Snow/ice will melt

    0o 'true' freezing/melting temperature

    0 to 5o Cool

    5 to 10o Brisk, jacket optional

    10 to 15o Cool, Comfortable to work

    15 to 20o Cold house

    20 to 25o Typical house temps

    25 to 30o Shorts recommended

    30 to 35o Hot

    35 to 40o Severely hot

    '> 40o Crazy hot.

    It's simply just getting used to the values which you have to do with F too anyways, and IMO the C scale just makes far more sense. With F none of the values are intuitive and require you to learn them all.

  • Most crimes have a State and Federal equivalent. The legal particulars of a case deciding which variant a suspect gets charged with. For example a State may have a charge for 'Intent to Distribute Narcotics' which a suspect with 10kilos of coke gets arrested for during a traffic stop. The investigation reveals the suspect had driven into the charging state from an adjacent one. Boom: Federal charge now. In Trump's case they may try, or have tried, to argue that it is a federal case due to the relation to interfering with the national election. IMO this will strongly suggest the pardon plan is their intent because Federal cases are more severe, with higher penalties and stronger conviction rates than their equivalent State variants. The only reason I can see wanting to risk greater penalties is the possibility of getting SCOTUS to rule on the appeal and that Trump could pardon himself if elected.

  • Boeing logo prominently displayed

  • That'll buy a lot of Ramen noodles from the commissary.

  • He could simply get parole, but if he does get any Jail time it will be delayed until his defence team have exhausted their appeals. Definitely won't see jail before the election sadly.

  • Just use I2P? Can you access public trackers via I2P or do you have to use the crap internal ones?

  • Thanks. I literally slept on it and woke up thinking this :)

  • Tor Browser would probably be the easiest if least performant way.

  • This is a bad idea. You're basically wanting to be held legally responsible for the actions of complete strangers on your connection. Good luck with that.
