France still holds Haitians financially responsible for…refusing to be slaves over 200 years ago. Haiti has such a rough time now because the US and EU continue to punish the country for representing the only successful slave revolt.
That was very common when I was growing up. Unfortunately, it has been replaced with variations of autistic, though “anti-woke” people will use both.
Strictly from an environmental perspective, no. This tech generates massive emissions and consumes a large amount of fresh water at a time when both are at critical points. We are going full speed towards a planet inhospitable to human life and the other life we share the planet with.
Sea level is irrelevant. This isn’t about water rise, but the land itself sinking (compressing). This can cause damage to infrastructure, buildings, and alter where areas lie in the water table (potentially increasing flooding).
Agreed, it definitely has always been there. I’m from a diverse family that covers all races, as well as many ethnicities and countries of origin. Even within my family, I’ve experienced racism, colorism, etc, and it was always baffling to me growing up. I think the internet has allowed the ghouls to finally feel comfortable taking their mask off in public. If we could stop that hate, especially from majority groups (regionally dependant), then we could truly push for societies that lift us all up.
This is not shocking or surprising. Trump represents white America, and this is pure, unadulterated, white America. The internet has allowed white Americans to be their complete shit selves in relative anonymity to the point that they now realize the majority of their brethren are bathing in the same fecal pools, so that many are emboldened to go mask off. Ask any person of color what their experience is online, and they’ll tell you this is typical white behavior, including white women (we see you Stacey).
Stop worrying, it’s not you, they’re just going over the material before responding.
I get off work at this god awful hour to learn that the US has performed an extrajudicial kidnapping of a foreign leader and their spouse. This fucking wild and I hope it doesn’t turn into regional conflict for all our sakes.
“You love to see it, folks!”
There are always conclaves within and nearby the city that are deep red. This is often where cops live, which helps maintain the “occupying army” model of policing that dehuminizes the residents.
I didn’t know this joke had Yiddish origins. Funnily enough, it was told to me by my Jewish grandmother when she was explaining in a convoluted way that I should sweep before mopping 🤣.
I’ve never seen that in the US. That is extremely stupid. Typically maps in the US center around the Atlantic/Europe.
It’s also probably higher than reported due to people not understanding what constitutes “a drink.” People are naturally not accurate at judging volumes/weight (even if they know the amounts) and probably aren’t measuring. Many more think “a drink” is “whatever is in my glass/bottle/can.” It’s further complicated by the wide variation in alcohol content among drinks within the same category.
When they Nazis.
That’s the problem with all these shitstains from the axis of cauc that love to go online and shit on “Americans”. Half the caucs in this country are fascists and 40% are liberals (right lite). Then they expect us POC to somehow fix what they (caucs worldwide) fucked up. Many have tried, and they were murdered by the state, before it became the insurmountable terror it is today. MLK, Ludlow, Fred Hampton, Malcom X, Brown Berets, MOVE, Operation Wetback, Tulsa, Red Lining, The Black Panthers, Corky Gonzales, exclusion from the GI bill after saving your sorry asses, etc. They can all shut the fuck up. None have ever done anything worth a shit in their life and are trending in the same direction internally. They’re just mad they didn’t take the lead in the explotation race.
What’s your proposal?
There are federal officers and contracted security personnel on many bases. Additionally, in a domestic threat situation, sometimes they coordinate with local law enforcement. There was a false alarm on the air force academy about ten years ago and cspd, along with the sheriff’s office, were part of the clearing effort.
I had a similar situation about a year ago, but it was reversed. I was having breakfast alone while waiting for an oil change. They had sat me at a large table (6 seats), and this gal walked up and asked, “Do you need this chair?” I responded “No, please!” Thinking she would leave with it. She plopped down and chatted nonstop. I honestly found her and her conversation a bit odd, so when I finished my food, I gave a quick goodbye and paid at the counter instead of waiting for the check as I was ready to leave. I can imagine that a woman may have been put off even more by a man in that situation. Though, you did at least directly ask to sit, unlike the woman I met.
Does he turn his other cheek to parry?
This isn’t an informed guess, but I’d imagine it has to do with ground suitability, as well as risks caused by the ocean and weather. I recently read an article that major cities in the area, away from the coast, are causing the ground to sink below their weight.
