"The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal,”

Then they go on to list a bunch of anti-democratic suggestions. They also defend billionaires while criticizing “elites.” It’s less disinformation and more incoherent ramblings of wealthy, one-trick ponies trapped in an echo chamber of yes men.

…with effort and collaboration.

Maybe it’s a sample size issue. They were a less common in the 2000s. Also Iran is a lot bigger, more populous, and technologically advanced than Iraq was at that time.

Weird how the number of random crashes go up in war zone.

1890s or 1790s?

Shouldn’t you be serving breakfast before posting on social media?! Geez. Some humans. I swear.

I don’t know. Since we put ours on an alter and started placing burnt offerings of RAM before it, uptime has gotten a lot better.

First of all, that’s the most patriotic thing I’ve heard in recent memory.

Secondly, you should probably get that checked out.

Reminded me of the following for some reason:

Smegging hell. 70 is a good run, but still too soon for me.

Plus, they’re not famously reliable at being able to identify citizenship.

Agreed, and furthermore, it shouldn’t matter at all. If the worst Russian Intelligence can do is use real evidence to prove a crime was committed, that’s an easily solvable problem both by not committing crimes and by prosecuting crimes committed with transparent, due process.

It really is a very silly argument.

“Your honor, in my defense, the guy who saw me shoot the victim, called the police, and submitted some of the damning evidence to them was a known mafia member, untrustworthy, and had committed crimes against me in the past.”

“Okay, and what do you have to say about all of this other corroborated evidence from trustworthy sources?”

“Well they wouldn’t have found it if he hadn’t pointed it out!”

I don’t think he was a Russian spy, but I am also sure that it’s irrelevant.

And instead went after Snowden for pointing out the scale of their illegal surveillance, too.

The “Five Eyes” concept has to be the dumbest, most transparent example of the “I’m not touching you” defense to charges of constitution circumvention.

I know this is probably a mundane engineering thing, but it sounds like a ramp up to a Black Mirror episode. We just need some kind of social commentary. Maybe the waste energy secretly contain MacGuff-ons, a known chrono-hazard. Only the poorest people will use it, for lack of alternative?

Wow, I really thought most scissors were practically ambidextrous. What makes them chiral enough to limit usage?

Maybe once.

Don’t be. I’m trademarking it and selling it for next Rolex line.

It’s mostly the same as how you would sixty-nine someone except you unfurl your proboscis first.

R-word emigrant, checking in.
