Social media isn’t a search engine. If an article is referring to someone by name in the title, they almost certainly have a Wikipedia page the questioner could read rather than requesting random strangers on a message board provide answers for them (in the form of multiple answers of varying bias and accuracy).
Wanting to learn isn’t the problem, it’s not spending the tiniest bit of personal effort before requesting service from other people.
There’s no reason to take this guy or his organization at face value when they make claims. It’s been hype and hopium for a decade now, fueled by TED Talks and wunderkind-loving media.
Cleaning up the garbage patch isn’t just a matter of collecting nicely floating big pieces of plastic. Doing that is good, but it’s not actually something that can ever get it to “clean”, it’s just something that helps slow the accumulation over time. You get the big stuff (relatively) easily, then it gets progressively harder, and eventually impossible.
Which is progress. It’s just not the lofty result they keep promising. If all it took was a big net and a relatively modest (by government standards) budget, this wouldn’t be a problem.
Who is Nate Silver? Really?
Child soldiers are an essential bulwark against government tyranny!
The kid was taken alive, so it’s likely he’ll just tell them at some point.
I see Mr. Maduro and America’s retail corporations have at least one goal in common.
At least during this period of anger we won’t have to also deal with the gnawing realization that they’re 100% going to lose. Harris may still lose, and this could certainly help her along the way, but it’s not a certainty, which is kind of better?
What are the charges?
You can just, like, read the article. It’s right there. Hyperlinked nicely for you for maximum convenience.
I know fuck all about French politics, but it seems strange that he doesn’t just appoint the candidate from the left. It sounds like it’s a fucked up non-functional situation, so he should just let them try to do the impossible and then fail. He’s probably worried that she might actually succeed and is holding out hope for some way to cobble together something as close as possible to the centrist coalition that shit the bed in the first place.
The original bank robbery was called “Stockholm Syndrome” for bullshit reasons. It’s not a real thing.
Stockholm Syndrome isn’t a real diagnosis. It’s never been included in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The guy who coined the term in that original bank robbery never even met with the victim he labeled with it and she had good reason to be more sympathetic to her captor than the authorities that risked and dismissed the value of her life. Not unlike how Israel’s government has been responding to this hostage situation.
A Hamas guard who killed an Israeli hostage acted “in revenge” and against instructions after he heard news that his two children had been killed in an Israeli strike, a spokesperson for the group’s armed wing said on Thursday.
“The (Hamas) soldier assigned as a guard acted in a retaliatory manner, against instructions, after he received information that his two children were martyred in one of the massacres conducted by the enemy,” Abu Ubaida said on Telegram.
“The incident doesn’t represent our ethics and the instructions of our religion in dealing with captives. We will reinforce the instructions,” he added.
Fundamentalists picking and choosing which rules apply and which individuals are considered valid targets isn’t a good way to understand the tenets of a religion. Which of course means Hamas may also pick and choose, but just because ISIS did something doesn’t mean it’s the norm.
“Collected during their falconry expeditions.”
Asked about Ahmad’s treatment on Monday night, Berry, the DNC political director, said the party unequivocally condemns physical violence.
“It’s unacceptable,” she said. “We as a party, our values are of diversity of thought and opinion. We never condone any type of physical attacks on anybody for any reason.”
This was all caught on camera, right? The perpetrators of the violence should be kicked out of the convention. Like they’d do if one of them just randomly attacked another delegate.
Not now, no, but I need to make sure they have a favorable tax regime for when my scratch-offs inevitably raise me to my appropriate station.
She started out the 2020 primaries pretty progressive, but would usually roll-back her positions a day later, presumably after some adviser told her it wouldn’t play in Peoria or would anger a megadonor. Maybe that’s where her heart actually lies and her trainwreck of a campaign made her realize those advisors were bad people to listen to.
None of this is relevant to whether you, as a Canadian, are inherently leftier than “any US Dem”.
I’m Canadian - so probably more left leaning than any US Dem
Do you think American Democrats are all just Joe Biden clones at various ages? Canada both isn’t an incredibly left-leaning country (we’re not talking about a European social democracy) and both the US and Canada are a political spectrum. Just being Canadian doesn’t mean you’re a super leftist in the context of the US.
And how quickly the media swallowed his bullshit about the university presidents like he was just legitimately concerned about minor sourcing problems or reports of scattered incidents of antisemitism on college campuses rather than a long term anti-woke crusade.
