Mfw the Iraq war was actually over in 2004 :o

I thought good times created weak men that vote to take away social benefits and safety nets.

Yeah, I know British news doesn’t have a uhhhhhh great history.

Based on the article, it sounds like they may be exaggerating the word “assault” given they gave no specifics, and it sounds like the judge legally wasn’t allowed to consider that case during the hearing.

I’d rather that it be difficult to remove immigrants than too easy to.

Does anyone have more info on this situation? This article is super sussy.

In past negotiations Israel was willing to return almost all of the settled land, and swap additional land to make up for around 98% percent of the 1967 borders, grant return to many Palestinians to come to Israel, as well as financially support those returning to the West Bank and Gaza, and agreed to halve Jerusalem. The negotiations still failed because the two sides couldn’t agree on monuments in Jerusalem, like Al-Aqsa/The Temple Mount.

It’s not a deflection, it’s the single most important item of negotiation between the two sides, and Trump has done more long term damage by taking an official stance on that issue than any other president in US history has caused in the Israel/Palestine conflict.

Only one president in US history definitely destroyed the chances at a two state solution in our lifetime by giving Jerusalem completely and totally to one side, and it wasn’t Biden.

People will recommend this brand, or that brand, but I haven’t heard any consistently good stories about any of them like I did with EVGA.

My brother had an MSI AMD card and got denied an RMA because the HDMI port was supposedly burned out, which makes no sense to me. They sent a picture to us, and to me it looked like someone jammed a soldering iron in there or something. 🤷‍♂️

I miss EVGA. :(

I mean, regular people can do that too, just not to the same extent. Robinhood is offering 6.75% now on margin loans, and IBKR has like 6.85% or so.

Basically anything really well rated should be fine!

Knights of the old Republic has been on there for a while.

Emulators.

Slay the Spire.

Yeah, look into the NY public funding going into ultra Orthodox schools. It’s depressing.

After the rumors of South Korea building tanks in eastern Europe, this move do be making sense. I wonder if NATO will ever expand to include Pacific partners?

Yeah, this isn’t at all surprising. It’s not like they’re an organized military. With limited encrypted communications, it’s probably impossible for the Hamas leadership to keep track of what’s going on.

Can she afford to look into ADHD treatment? Does she have health insurance? IMO it’s totally worth it.

Yet the overwhelming majority of the time, they’ve committed a crime. There may be systematic issues in the justice system, and US that lead to the higher conviction rates/arrest rates, but we have the right to appeal, the right to representation, and our criminal justice system is regularly investigated and publicized.

On the flip side, on a mass scale in Xinjiang, people are being systematically targeted, sterilized, tortured, being forced to work, etc. solely because of their culture and skin color.

The two systems are very different. Two things can be bad, and one of those bad things can be substantially worse. It’s like wondering why Texas will execute a serial killer, but not someone who punched someone at a bar. Both things are bad, but the scale is completely different.

Having the red line as genocide, or as slavery from the buying and selling of people feels like a pretty safe line to have. Blocking goods is a very serious move in international relations.

The US justice system is not inherently racist, it’s systematically racist, which isn’t good, but is a different thing. Nearly every person in the US prison system is there because they committed a crime. The people in Xinjiang did nothing but have the wrong culture and skin color. It’s still a false equivalency.

Anyone can involve themselves and investigate the US court system, they can file complaints, they can sue for unfair treatment etc. International monitors are barred from Xinjiang.

Forcing prisoners to repay a debt to society through labor, and forcing the minority you’re actively genociding to produce goods feel like two very different things.

I strongly disagree with US prison labor, and our prison system’s focus on punishment and repayment rather than actually correcting the behaviors, but it’s legal by the US constitution.

The US DoL has an article on the situation with these laborers in China. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/against-their-will-the-situation-in-xinjiang

Oh, I hadn’t realized it was already being used. A million pounds every two days is a lot, so I’m surprised I hadn’t heard until now.
