Poor Besos cannot decide what and how he delivers. He just needs to deliver to anybody who posts an order on the website someone put up on the internet. Kinda like Santa?

I don't really have knowledge nor control over how green Amazon's delivery is. If you shift responsibility to a party that cannot make well-informed decisions, you kind of end up with the mess we currently have, no?

The whole idea of money not having a memory is a huge scheme of capitalists to get out of any kind of responsibility.

How else would you account for it? Am I responsible for 0.001% of Amazon's CO2 emissions because I order sometimes from them?

But shouldn't it be easier to adjust the lifestyle of 80 million people rather than 8 billion?

And there are a few easy ones almost everyone in the 1% can chip in: reduce meat consumption, don't fly, buy local and don't buy single use items

The ones that would exist are undermined. With Trump having appointed many of the judges including the Supreme Court, the different branches that could keep the president in check have lost their teeth. The different states are too independent and different that they could organize against the federal government.. It's rather the federal government keeping some of the states in check. Once that one is gone, you'll only have some states that are a safe haven.

At this point any Republican that has a shot would be a disaster. Just look at Project 2025. It doesn't need to be Trump to completely regress to a dictatorship.

This games gives weird feelings. I remember being completely stuck with an early "puzzle" and kind of frustrated with the game as a whole... and then it hit me like an asteroid. It's been a while since my heart raced that fast when playing a video game.

Sometimes? Every US election in my life time was a choice of the lesser evil.

Now that the Republicans run a literal fascist who's endangering democracy with project 2025 and his promises to imprison his political enemies, the Democrats could even run war criminal W and you'd have to vote for him because any vote not for Bush would be for Trump.

Democracy is completely broken in the US.

See how everybody is talking about it, watching about it and it's still happening.

This must have been developed for people who couldn't read. Obviously just having the waiter's notes should be enough.

Back when I was new to Linux, NVidia cards were not well supported. Any upgrade could break X11, every reboot a gamble. Sometimes I would have to change a config (trying to get X forwarding working etc.) and then not backing up the last three working configs would result in just nuking the install and hoping that resolves it.

Doesn't help when your CTO's weekly newsletter always has some vacation photos..

"Never again."

"This could never have happened in our country."

You could even formulate the call for ceasefire in a way that shows the US has learned from the "war on terror" blunders. They could even point to already public war crimes and point out this should not happen to them.

There has to be a path to reform and correct past mistakes. The US does not do that, not because of a controversial past, but because of the intent to continue past and current policies in the future. You don't call out war crimes if you want to keep your options open to commit your own in the future.

I wish the reason were more reasonable. Coca Cola is the main plastic bottle polluter on the planet, while Nestle has very questionable practices in 3rd world countries, specifically, but not exclusively when it comes to water sources. These would be much better reasons for boycotting these companies than their alleged support of Israel.

Mainly because support for Israel can be nuanced and on a spectrum as in supporting the current bombing campaign, versus the current right wing extremist government of Israel, versus the support of the apartheid in Israel, versus the right of Israel to exist as an ethno-state for Jewish people. I wonder where Coca Cola and Nestle would land... and where Turkey thinks it draws the line.

Yeah, but the whole point of Israel, is that it's a home for Jewish people. That this apparently means an ethno apartheid state, is revolting. I have yet to hear a zionist to provide a good solution.

On that front Obama is correct: how are you going to create a Jewish state surrounded by Muslim states that oppose your existence fundamentally?

But at this point you can argue that living as a Palestinian in Israel and the occupied territories is worse than living in many (but clearly not all) Muslim countries as a non-Muslim.

So religious states, democracies or not, do exist and kinda can make it work in some cases, even if I would prefer a secular democracy for myself any day.

Agreed, any kind of dehumanization like this is not okay, but I get why you would call an invader that.

It's why Republicans want women to marry quickly and early. Single women are a huge demography that is not voting for them... I doubt just getting married is actually solving this for Republicans though.

It's more than half of Republicans. So they can choose one of the two presidential candidates.

The USA is definitely headed this way.. towards a proto-fascist leader on the GOP side. Meloni comes from the remainder of Mussolini's supporters. Doesn't have anything to do with Europeans or Socalists of course.
