@QasimRashid@mastodon.social "Just follow the law" would also be more convincing if there were any sign of the Trump administration doing so. It's a lot easier to trust in the protection of the legal system and due process if people aren't being black bagged and sent to Liberia in violation of judicial orders.

@paninid So he didn't say he wasn't a traitor?

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Mondays are socially constructed.... He's on his way to an arts degree already.

@BoysenberryCider@mastodon.social Pope Francis was also quite progressive. Given his history with the Argentinean junta he wasn't exactly friendly to Trump's style of politics. Their predecessors were traditionalists.

@sarble Give a septuagenarian a chance to be the first man on the Sun?

@adhd_coffee So AuDHD are the cats that are iffy about being patted and are fussy eaters?

@ariaflame There's actual royalty from major countries that are more connected to people's daily lives.

@jbond@mastodon.social The issue isn't just that they think they have the right to win, they didn't decide on what winning was ahead of time. Killing the people you're supposed to negotiate with doesn't help either.

@random_sapiens@mastodon-belgium.be The US already has all that information along with a decades old mass surveillance programme. They'd only do this for the theatrics.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social He's suggesting a lot of fuck-around for a country that's currently experiencing find-out problem. Aside from the illegality, no one would negotiate with the US afterward.

@Catvalente Did they learn from the last assassination that you should use blanks?

@GeriAQuin@mstdn.social This doesn't present that he is far more demented, incompetent, and corrupt than any of those presidents.

@jeffjarvis I knew of him before he was Pope, despite being neither Catholic nor American. His "voice" was widely heard before his ascension.

@SeanCasten@mastodon.social 6. Christianity/Catholicism is not "radical leftism".

@strawhousepig@mastodon.social Not helped by the Karen also being an ethnic group from Myanmar.

@rmondello And it would be avoided entirely if everyone just used ISO 8601....

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social And his great uncle Edward VIII.

@stux 15 kings and some orange nonce.

@tsturm Just imagine the poor school kids in a couple of decades.

@futurebird@sauropods.win You're describing an Euler diagram rather than a Venn diagram. Venn diagrams show possible logical sets, rather than trying to show the relationship between things. Pedantry aside, both would fit in the circle of people who are the common clay of the nation, morons.

@CStamp@mastodon.social If Grok has free speech we can arrest it for producing CSEM....

@SpaceLifeForm Lack of resupply, they've already done a long stay.

@sam4000 @apc The light novel is fully translated, 33 books plus a few side story ones.

@Dtraslerwriting And perfect for gibbetting...

@JoscelynTransient Just move to Australia and people will think you're a bogan rather than a lesbian. The downside is the amount of decoys.

@gabrielesvelto Conversely, in Australia a "vape" ban led to a black market and significant use by children (as in ~12), and heavy taxation of cigarettes has created a black market and a war between gangs over their supply.

@negative12dollarbill@techhub.social I think war crime allegations being glossed over and murderers walking free is worse for recruiting.

@Walter8100000@mastodon.social It's in South West Asia rather than on the Arabian Peninsula so it doesn't count. *taps head*

@randahl And blames it on radicalism without recognising the US's role in its creation. Oil hasn't been an asset to Iran, it's just put it in the crosshairs of empires.

@zetabeta@mastodon.social Not only that. The US will also attack you during negotiations, by the same person that tore up a previously negotiated agreement no less, so why negotiate at all. If you're going to be attack either way, you may as well refuse to negotiate and develop nukes.

@PizzaDemon Bullion coins and rounds are often 999 or 9999 fine gold (ie 99.99%), I guess because the mints already work in it for bullion. Coins like the guinea and (some) modern collectable coins are in 22k (91.6%), but really that's for historical reasons related to handling, not that anyone is going to use them as currency.

@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social I suspect all three are true. Except it may have been US intelligence he was involved in.

@berniethewordsmith@neopaquita.es @stib@aus.social I'm using the Gnome version, it's a normal desktop as long as you don't set it up to boot into Steam. The only part that may feel strange to a Linux veteran is that it is atomic/immutable, for a new user I don't think it's normally an issue. Universal Blue also produce Aurora and Bluefin, which aren't gaming focussed, and they're all built on Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite.

@bebadefabo@mastodon.social @jeffjarvis@mastodon.social The media version of the toxoplasma of rage. If it pisses everyone off it gets clicks, leading to more reporting and more prominence. Grifters on both sides of politics have been doing it for years, it's just this one is a trillionaire with his own social media outlet.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social More stark is that it has had consequences internationally, even with much less evidence of wrong doing. Just for having links to Epstein. And those countries don't have full access to the files....

@nuwagaba2 The federal government insists there's no connection between a black market developing and cigarettes costing ~30euro for 20, so they're pushing for the states to police it more heavily. They're driven by the ideology that price increases will cause people to stop smoking, so they ignore all evidence that contradicts that.

@davidsirota I gave up on American news serviced back in the late 90s for much that reason. They'd be coving a major disaster and be discussing how it affected markets where the BBC et alia would be discussing how it affected people.

@fsinn@mas.to The province takes it's name from the lake....

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social "The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed; but, I assure you, my resolve has never been stronger!"

@MatWright@mastodon.social The accepted ceasefire is based on the Pakistani proposal, aka the Islamabad Accord. Supposedly China intervened at the last minute to get Iran on board.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social The US also spends roughly twice what Denmark does on healthcare on a per capita basis. They're paying far more, and getting far less. Healthcare spending also dwarfs military spending (over 5 trillion).

@alex_p_roe@mastodon.world Or just ban them entirely. Given the history of social media in election manipulation and propaganda I don't think you even need the excuse of "think of the children" to justify it.

@aburtch@shakedown.social They're also too stupid to realise that's 15 kings. A bit like when they call him the King of England....

@joenepraat@todon.nl This is the corporate equivalent of sending JD Vance to support one of your cronies overseas.

@Nonilex@masto.ai Is this the American version of "never believe anything until it has been officially denied"?
