Good to see you, sir! Have you seen Porthos yet in your travels?

I'm a very old Musketeer.

They're going to launch the Rafah assault anyway, why would Hamas give up their one bargaining point?

Last year, Jeff Bezos bought half a billion dollars worth of residential homes. It took him all of two days to accumulate that money.

Former Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Andrew Hitt was nominated to be an elector if former President Donald Trump won the state in 2020, but after Trump lost, Hitt and nine other Republican electors met at the state capitol and signed documents falsely claiming Trump won.

Hitt said lawyers told him the documents they were signing were meaningless unless Trump's legal team won its lawsuit seeking to dismiss over 200,000 votes in two Democratic counties.

Hitt said he was advised that if a court ruled in Trump's favor and he and the other Republicans did not meet and sign the documents on Dec. 14, 2020 — when the Democratic electors were required to meet to cast their votes for President Biden — he would be responsible for Trump forfeiting Wisconsin.

] "It was not a safe time," he said. "If my lawyer is right, and the whole reason Trump loses Wisconsin is because of me, I would be scared to death."

The Republican Party is full of cowards, each claiming to be only 'doing their jobs' and then claiming afterward that they knew something was wrong.

"Oftentimes phone calls would start by 6 in the morning, and wouldn't end until 10:30 at night," he said.

Yeah, I'd vote against anyone calling me at 6 in the morning.

true to their money

FTFY.

This is a direct attack from the progressive left to try and stop Texit. They know that Texit is inevitable and they are trying to make independence harder—we won't let them.

Lol, you think your red-wing leaders are going to allow 'Texit' to happen, when it would ensure the federal loss of Republican majorities for decades?

and the West Bank.

The article (and the Israelis in other articles) have said they want any relocation to be voluntary, then goes on to say quiet bit out loud:

Israeli communications minister Shlomo Karhi described exactly and clearly what they mean: “‘voluntary,’” Karhi explained, is “a state you impose [on someone] until they give their consent.”

They said years ago that they only kept one previous version, which is why everyone overwrote and then deleted their stuff.

It's possible that reddit changed that, but honestly? That requires a level of foresight that I believe is entirely beyond spez. He didn't foresee AI products, he literally paid all the bandwidth for them to harvest the data, he didn't foresee changes to API pricing, he didn't foresee the protests, how long they'd last, or how many people just walked away.

Hell, in the previous big "closed subs" protest they'd never even considered a moderator rebellion: once the mods took the subs private, the admins were accidentally locked out as well - they had to negotiate to get them re-opened while they worked on backdoor changes that wouldn't break reddit.

I just don't see them having the foresight to add in preservation code, nor to allocate the database and storage space to keep up with it. I think if you overwrote and then deleted your stuff, reddit doesn't have it anymore. Of course, it's still out there, in Google's cache and the internet archive and all the other snapshots she preservation schemes and the data already harvested for the various AIs, but at least it's no longer indeed reddit's control, and they won't be able to profit from it.

Spez has spent his entire time as CEO chasing the latest tech shiny - reddit crypto, reddit NFTs, reddit video a la TikTok. And he's always managed to do it after the craze has started to peak. So now he's chasing the latest shiny, reddit AI, starting a full year after everyone else already released their products.

He's late yet again, and he's proven repeatedly that's he's failed to understand reddit's greatest strengths and value. This "reddit AI content" and the IPO is his last chance to get some value out of reddit, and his last chance to make money for nothing because no one is going to hire him in a leadership role ever again. I just wonder if he's smart enough to understand that, or whether he's just hoping to get enough money to fully build out and stock his personal doomsday bunker.

I think it's more that "these people" didn't used to 'exist' in their world: Sexual minorities weren't talked about and were invisible for the most part. But since Stonewall and AIDS, LGBT+ people first decided and then learned not to hide themselves. Suddenly someone who you thought of as normal has 'become' gay. You obviously knew them well, it's not possible they were hiding something from you, and there's no chance your observations were incorrect - clearly, instead of you being wrong, something happened to them, something 'turned them gay' - it must have been the frogs, or music, or DnD, or something, it's just impossible you were wrong!

Our library has a tool library, will lend out sewing machines, and has a seed library. Oh! and a museum pass program!

I'd be more scared of going blind, personally.

Boris Nadezhdin is working on appealing the order preventing him from running.

And a worse working environment for their employees - but no one seems to care about workers.

Hahaha!!

So they fucking lied yet again. Fuck Israel.

Edit: hey, can you guys help me compile a credible list of everything they've lied about so far? There were those decapitated babies, the "top secret attack plans" 'found' during the attack, the tunnels under the cemetery Israel razed that CNN thoroughly debunked, this hospital here, the other hospital (which one was it?) where the old cistern was a "Hamas headquarters" or something - what else?

They claimed they had evidence. Even if it was bad 'evidence', they should have been able to produce it. I mean, you talk with a flat earther or a faked moon landing person or a vaccine is gonna kill you person, they're gonna have all kinds of bullshit evidence to try to convince you. These guys couldn't even come up with that.

Cameron literally created Brexit out of thin air, dunno why anyone listens to the fuck. And he certainly should never have been allowed back in government ever again.
