I really wish the signs didn't say "paid for by Canada" on them, or at least not so prominently. Because I just know some people are going to read it as "tariffs are a tax on Americans paid for by Canada".
Is it going to change their vote? Is it going to get them on their phones to demand action from their senators and representatives? Is it going to drive them into the streets to demand change? Then why the fuck should I care what they think?
Could he have just informed the company what had happened so they could arrange a replacement pilot for wherever he was scheduled to go next, and then just not-deplaned in Shanghai, staying with the plane until it eventually got back to the States?
Republican Utah Senator John Curtis said on Meet the Press on Sunday: "We're not being honest when we look people in the eye and say we're not going to touch [Social Security]. If we don't touch it, it touches itself. You know that, right?
Social Security would've been fine if they didn't keep raiding it for spending money :(
I believe he said that he logged out of the chat as soon as he verified the texts were real, and that the texts in the chat were set to auto-delete in 1 to 4 weeks (different texts set to expire at different times).
Based on an article I read over the weekend: There's a treaty where they get a certain amount of water from the Colorado and we get a certain amount of water from the Rio Grande. It's supposed to be roughly the same amount of water per year, but they wrote the treaty to operate on a five-year cycle so things could be adjusted if there was a drought.
The US government is claiming (and I have no idea if this is true or not) that Mexico regularly undersupplies water for the first four treaty years and then desperately tries to make up the deficit in the fifth year, leaving US farmers with farms suffering from insufficient water for four years and then too much access to water the final year.
Why do these things seem to happen so much in Pennsylvania? From the Toynbee tiles to the steel furnace letters, why does it seem we get so much weird shit?
Sure. Outraged over an inadvertent leak, but totally fine arming a country committing genocide, trying to strong-arm the victim of relentless aggression into giving up 1/5th of it's territory, letting disease spread freely in the nation, detaining people without charges, kidnapping people off the streets and deporting then to violent foreign prisoners without due process, weakening our defense industry, alienating every ally and partner we have on the planet, threatening to annex countries, starting trade wars, taking away women's healthcare, threatening the most vulnerable members of society, etc etc etc. All that other stuff is fine, but sure, let's raise holy hell over an inadvertent leak.
The biggest problem with AI is that they're illegally harvesting everything they can possibly get their hands on to feed it, they're forcing it into places where people have explicitly said they don't want it, and they're sucking up massive amounts of energy AMD water to create it, undoing everyone else's progress in reducing energy use, and raising prices for everyone else at the same time.
Lol - longest necro I've had was someone who came back with a comment like three and a half years later, so you're fine! And thank you for the compliment! :)
Yeah, we know.
