  • It's the party of projection. Everything they talk about is solely because that's what they are doing/would do if given the opportunity.

  • This has been obvious to anyone paying attention for decades now. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia turned their massive propaganda infrastructure outwards.

  • Considering the entire prison population was about 7,500 last year and they only have about 5,000 beds across all facilities... That's a pretty large percentage.

    And to add to that, from this specific article:

    According to a recent Kriminalvården report, Sweden’s prison population could – in the most extreme scenario – grow from 7,800 this year to 41,000 in 2034 as a result of more punitive policies driven by the far right.

    They're looking at a 500% increase in the prison population within a decade because of the new policies. If that's not a shift towards mass incarceration I'd like to know what your definition would be.

  • I honestly feel like this is some sort of genetic thing. Even kittens, who have never had a chance to be taught this, somehow know exactly when the most inopportune time is and seem to focus on getting it just right.

  • How were the switches designed such that they prevented accidental activation? Because it looks like they just get simply flipped down. Could it be pull-out-and-down? Or maybe there's a lot of resistance during the switch action?

    The lever-lock fuel switches are designed to prevent accidental activation - they must be pulled up to unlock before flipping, a safety feature dating back to the 1950s. This isn't a new or weird design. It's essentially the standard used in basically every plane because it works.

    "It would be almost impossible to pull both switches with a single movement of one hand, and this makes accidental deployment unlikely," a Canada-based air accidents investigator, who wanted to remain unnamed, told the BBC.

  • It's ironic that his original pick, while a blatant issue due to nepotism and coming from Elon... Jared Isaacman does actually know Space and has experience in orbit. Anyone that's experienced the Overview Effect is almost surely a better option for leading NASA than most other choices, especially this dude.

  • That's the only place he gets any information, news, events, entertainment, all of it comes from TV. Anything coming from a different place is ignored.

  • So, what are the chances he was told to do this a while ago, but to wait a bit so they could deny involvement like this? That's probably giving them too much credit.

  • Right? Did they think the name wasn't a description of the music they play for some reason?

  • It's probably just a traditional 3D render, it's a pretty simple design honestly.

  • Well, it was published in 2019 so...

  • That's illegal in most places. Votes are anonymous specifically on purpose. Numerous people have been threatened to vote certain ways in the past all over the world. If there is no record of you specifically voting a specific choice, you can't be forced to vote a specific way. And you can't be targeted after the fact for that vote.

  • Death tolls due to natural disasters they can’t prepare for

    Well they can, they choose not to.

  • I've been talking about running essentially on the Republican party platform from the mid-1950s. It's basically what Dems say they want.

  • Oh it's quite simple. Trump's opinions are largely based on the last person he talked to. He agrees to all sorts of shit when talking to people because he's easily manipulated and always wants to boast about something he "negotiated".

    Zelensky is using that to his advantage, knowing fully that Trump is a Russian lapdog, so he has to get agreements with Trump going quickly and constantly renegotiated because that's how he can undermine Putin's manipulations.

  • Success means a split of the Republicans, because the vast majority of Dems aren't going to follow Elon after these last few months.
