It's crazy that anyone believes they're going to glean anything from this. What question do people think is going to get resolved here? Is there anyone who seriously doesn't already have their mind made up about both of these guys?
Trump is going to do his vague, rambling spiel about how immigrants are rapists and gish gallop around the stage while Biden is going to get all misty-eyed about how much pork barrel spending he managed to pass over his term and give a bunch of empty euphemisms about "coming together" or w/e. Maybe say something racist about Palestine.
What are people hoping to get out of this? Honest question.
I've been watching a lot of shiey on youtube and it makes me want to train hop. I went wandering for a few years when I was younger and I miss it sometimes, I hitch hiked all over, but never train hopped and now I'm a bit too tied down I probably won't get the opportunity.
Not a regret exactly, but I do miss the freedom of living out of a bag and just waking up and traveling anywhere you want on a whim with no set dates or requirements other than making sure you have food and water.
I want to take a picture of a brick and duplicate it over and over, then zip those up and duplicate that zip into OneDtive until it tells me I can't any more.
The Abrahamic religions are based on superstious oral traditions that extend into the bronze age. They are a hodge podge of cults and spiritual traditions that got absorbed as tribes genocided eachother over the millenia. Taking over a conquered group's pantheon is a regular occurrence throughout history, similar to how the Romans took Christianity and adapted it. There are remnants in the torah/old testament of the stitching together of different polytheistic religious narratives that eventually became the Abrahamic traditions.
I don't really care about technical specifics of when any given era of the Abrahamic religions began, believing in invisible skymen is not the same as a material tool or a mathematical proof. It's a bunch of bullshit stories people told eachother for why the rain fell or why lightning happened, it belongs in the past, there's no excuse to still believe it now.
Oohh, that's a good way to potentially break this. Just download a ton of useless stuff and upload it onto OneDrive. People could make this service really expensive for Microsoft.
Yeah, having to listen to Steve Innskeep gleefully break the news of Bowman's defeat on NPR this morning was not a great way to start the day.
And of course NPR frames it as confirmation that voters support genocide, not that AIPAC uses GOP money to sabotage the Democratic party. Their reporting is getting worse and worse by the day.
All the Abrahamic religions are death cults. It's just as morbid as muslim sects that force women to dress head to toe black robes or w/e. The extremism just becomes part of the scenery when you're around it, but it's all objectively bizzare.
Like think about it, these religions were literally invented by bronze age goat herds who thought the earth was flat and covered by a dome, and people in the modern day still believe in them. It's literally group insanity.
It would be like someone who still believes in the greek gods or something.
If I do a job efficiently that doesn't mean my boss should then get to then extract free labor out of me. It's why hours alone are a poor way of judging labor value, and it results in a vicious cycle of demanding more and more productivity from workers with them getting less for it.
I think the work day for most types of work should be shortened with no reduction in pay because it's been proven that many industries can reduce the work week to 32 hours with no drop in productivity, and in fact it comes with savings for the business (ex. less time running facilities and services, better use of resources).
If a customer is provided a quote before hand then that should just be the price, if the contractor can't provide what was promised in the time frame they themselves gave then that's on them.
There needs to come a point where the workers themselves start receiving the benefits of their own efficiency -- when time is created it should be workers who get that time back for themselves, instead what we see is that the CEOs syphon up all that extra time for themselves and either work less or convert it into money for their own pocket.
Definitely, he never should've run and the other candidates never should have endorsed him as they dropped, especially since Sanders actually had steam and could've easily fulfilled the "Not Trump" space that Biden claimed he needed to be there to fill.
I'd imagine it's connected to both. Russia and China are the main antagonists to US hegemony, hoping they'll get to be the next empire if they can drive enough of a wedge between western allies and get enough debt colonialism going in SA and Africa.
So yeah, they are fostering crisis, authoritarian sentiment, and spinning anti-democratic narrative wherever they can, but Israel's genocide and complete disregard for things like the ICC/ICJ (the kinds of institutions upon which the post-war rules based order is supposed to rest) has only further degraded US international standing. Biden vetoing UN resolutions and chastising the international courts for investigating Israel does not help.
Biden's whole election schtick was that he was there to reassure the rest of the world after Trump's carastrophic administration, and now he's showing his ass anyway.
You do understand Haiti is being run by gangs at the moment, right? Close to a hundred thousand people have fled the capital city, this isn't some righteous revolution or something, it's a bunch of small time fascists taking advantage of a weak state and an unwillingness by the US to get involved try to seize power.
The UN and US are providing funding to help Kenya provide some kind of security. Whats your alternative? Let Haiti burn?
Well, good I suppose, though I feel like this could be sort of a desperate attempt to shore up geopolitical influence that's being deflated by our relationship with Israel.
Post-WWII rules based order is kind of disintegrating and neoliberals are scrambling to prop it up without actually admitting to why it's failing.
