Considering how the president represents her people, I'm not surprised. Mexicans do oppose to the Palestine genocide by the Israel military forces. It's obviously not unanimous, some pro-Israel genocide state people do exist.

I wonder if they get their spirits up with the sound of the exploding and the sights of the smoke columns.

It's a miracle.

I was thinking about changing my Roku TV anyway. "Dumb" TVs are the future for me.

Metamorphosis is the go-to Kafka book. I personally find The Trial the most "kafkian" of his novels, and I love it, but Amerika has a special place in my heart as what defines his literature is trying to find a way out, like a little seedling.

Aww, Rudy. What a beautiful and calm look.

I don't know where you live, but you can say that about your own context. What happened to Assange has no name, shame on the USA government! Fortunately, not all populations are equally easy-handled.

They want to establish the narrative of Luigi-the-terrorist, but human beings know who is the reasonable one.

I remember. Mobile internet was ridiculously expensive. Browsers used to have an option to not download images and videos, that used to help a lot. Then Opera Mini came and these problems were gone for good.

Yeah, I was thinking about Symbian too. The basic functionality of an Android phone today, Symbian already had with the limitations of its time. In 2003, you could use your Symbian to share internet to a PC, navigate maps, edit documents, take pictures, edit pictures, browse the web, etc. There was a good amount of third party apps too, including browsers like Opera and games like Chessmaster. And this was a shitty OS for this, Maemo was way better, but it came later.

You are leaping miles with your argument, but even admitting that cartels control territories and lands in Mexico, we all have to deal with them in some way. IRL, cartels do not control large territories and lands in Mexico, but they can have an influence in vast territories. Chiefly, they deal with other cartels, but when things are going bad, they can have an impact with local business-owners and politicians. A guy like Carlos Slim can simply pack up the bags and look for greener lands.

What ties? Can you elaborate?

This 15yo handsome guy changed our lives forever the first time he showed us his belly. From that day, my wife and I improved our insomnia, because he demanded to be fed daily in the morning at the same exact time, and he is persistent.

Jesus can be kind of spooky. I mean, from the treason part onwards, he becomes a bit weird. I guess torture and death can radically affect even the best of us.

This is the way.

I'm glad she's doing better now.

Huh. Makes sense then, the pardon. Jesus Christ.

I guess they all look the same for the ICE: guilty.

Not gonna engage with the other person who replied to you, but I hope you get your own conclusions about disappeared people in Mexico. A similar argument was made during the first years of President Lopez Obrador mandate about homicides. The right-wing regime before Lopez left a horrifying situation in that regard with homicides rising, Lopez could stop the trend and stabilize the absolute amount of homicides per year during the first half of his period. Of course, the "argument" from the opposition to his government was that "the most violent years in Mexico's history" occurred during his mandate and they also like to brag about it being the most violent period in history, which is technically true.

Lopez did change the trend in his last three years of government. Sheinbaum, also a leftist, continues getting better and better numbers in homicides in general in her first months as president. There are cities where things are not fine or not even getting better, of course, because it's not a uniform trend.

The opposition is now shifting to disappeared people, as it is loosing the discussion about homicides. Disappeared people is an issue in Mexico too, but it's even more complicated as the right-wing government before Lopez was one of the main perpetrators of this crime. A long, atrocious chapter of disappeared people is called here the Dirty War. In this period (for the Spanish version of the Wikipedia it's 1964-2000), the right-wing government would prosecute, kidnap, assassinate and disappear political dissidents. Currently, disappearance of people is related mostly to organized crime, which, of course needs to be addressed.

Maybe you can check their code at github. It's open source, their bugs history and issues are there.
