Because there’s no way around that

Worth noting is that among the investors loyal to Trump is Larry Ellison, renowned massive turd of a human being. Just totally coincidentally, his festering dingleberry of a son David Ellison is the person that installed the pro-genocide propagandist Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief at CBS.

Canadians should not want free trade with China. It’s reasonable to protect domestic industries. China has massively invested in their productive capacity; free trade would destroy any domestic Canadian businesses that compete with their Chinese counterparts. Canada should be purchasing cheap factory equipment from China and reshoring lost industries via heavy investment or creating state-owned businesses. But, Canada should also stop cutting funding for its public health system, enact laws to prevent capital flight, and tax big businesses and the ultra-wealthy heavily, and we know that a fucking banker would never do that.

This is an ongoing operation by the CIA to Balkanize Canada. Canadians need to wake the fuck up.

This article is poorly written and the terms are confusing, so just to clarify:

• There are TWO “Boards of Peace” floating around in the headlines.
• They were both created by point 9 in the “Gaza peace plan”.
• By “Gaza Board of Peace”, the article actually means the BoP’s Gaza Executive Board. This seems to be what Trump is trying to extort Macron into joining.
• The 60 nations, $1 billion permanent seat cost BoP is the top-level BoP that the Gaza Executive Board is under.

If you’re really gung-ho about it, go and ask a Veteran of Iraq or Afghanistan about it and see what they think. If anyone will know about it they will.

My uncle that served in Iraq still wakes up screaming in the night. He’s a shell of the man he used to be. Another vet my age I knew was absolutely erratic after serving. He couldn’t hold a job and ended up homeless and assaulted someone for their spot under a bridge.

My whole family bears the scars of the PTSD from what my grandfather saw from WWII. He also woke up screaming for years afterward.

Dude is incredibly stupid, because he’s been ordering under-cooked burgers without any conception of what he’s requesting for “Bob”-know-how-long.

He might like medium-cooked burgers, but he has no idea what that even means. The food at the hotel isn’t less-safe than other places. They just didn’t assume he read the fine-print at the bottom of the menu and were the first to inform him that it’s not safe.

Yeah, they delivered the waiver at the wrong time, but dude should’ve already known what he was ordering wasn’t safe. I order over-easy, soft-boiled, and sometimes sunny-side-up eggs. I know the risks, and I accept them.

Unless you put an a ton of effort into it, ground beef is only safe well-done. To get safe under-cooked ground beef, you need to discuss your intentions with your butcher and grind the beef yourself. Even with grinding a single, quality cut of beef, you’re still gambling.

Also, fuck you, I’m not your friend guy, here’s a rocket ship ().():::::::::::::::::D~~~~~~~

Dumb American disgusted by his own stupidity

Yeah, this is one of those constant annoyances that you kinda just live with. It doesn’t matter that much, because compound words were at some point not one word, and there may be separate words that you use today that will join together during your career. Electronic mail became e-mail became email. As long as the casing doesn’t hide the meaning, you’re doing it right. Also be consistent. Don’t recreate such monstrosities as XMLHttpRequest.

Nothing, the floozy

From my understanding:

1. Buy a bank login
2. Buy a SIM swap
3. Change location w/ RDP server (I don’t fully understand this one; maybe pay to RDP into a pwned PC in the right location)
4. Find a fall guy and give him a good cut
5. Wire money to fall guy
6. Fall guy withdraws money
7. Get money from fall guy

Looks like it’d be better getting into the darknet businesses that facilitate the wire fraud. Always better to be selling pickaxes than digging for gold.

Myst, Superhot VR, Beatsabre

1. Code in Emacs or Jetbrains (depends on language and laptop cpu)
2. Run make to build, run, debug, or clean (I like makefiles for documenting basic tasks)
3. Commit with git when chunk of work is done

I tend to do everything locally on bare metal. I never liked putting stuff in containers or running a vm.

VS Code is a great editor, though. It actually feels a bit like Emacs.

This is incredibly cruel. Mail is one of the few things prisoners have to bring them connection and joy. The American prison system has no interest in helping people. They just want to break them so that they’ll be slaves forever. One of the most shameful ongoing tragedies in the nation’s history.

Who’s saying “nuh uh”? It could go both ways.

I’m saying (in winey child voice), “nuh uh! I’m not a communist! I’m an anarcho-blahblahblah, and there are nuanced distinctions between blah blah blah! Nyah!”

Marsupial is saying, “nuh uh! China doesn’t blame Western capitalism for the opium trade! They only blame the Brits!”

I have no disagreement that typical “tankies” would call the Five Eyes an empire and Western hegemony, but calling the idea “tankie” is just using a thought-stopper to avoid talking about the idea that empires serve those with power and not the other way around.

And I just fucking disdain fervent communists, so Marsupial struck a nerve. I’d rather be dismissed for what I actually think.

lmao, just to be clear, I think tankies are little CCP dick-sucking bitches, but anyone who throws around a thought-stopper like “tankie” really doesn’t deserve respect. C’mon, you can engage with the merits and flaws of an argument, right?

If you want to get into a whole ad hominem thing: I’m suspicious of communism (free markets are great for almost everything), and communist revolutions are a joke. I haven’t finished reading Das Kapital, but I’ve heard that the capitalism will inevitably create communism out of the consequences of its own actions, so any revolution is just trying to force the wheel of time forward. I also think it is plain to see that you can’t have a communist government without democracy (preferable direct democracy), because how can everyone be equal otherwise? China’s communism is just capitalism in a trench coat, which is why you see the same effects on its populace as elsewhere. Fundamentally, I’m an Anarcho-syndicalist or Anarcho-socialist. No hierarchies, free association, worker solidarity, and mutual aid.

Very Christian of In-N-Out to refuse to protect those with weak immune systems.

Thanks for pointing that bit out!

So if this quote is to be believed:

“This represents a blow to (the cartel’s) financial operations and illicit activities, since the company receives chemical shipments from China,” Salazar said in a statement.

It looks like China is struggling to enforce their controls. I’m trying to think of a reason that doesn’t boil down to a lack of political will. I don’t blame them, though. They certainly have a bunch of more pressing, complex domestic problems (balancing environment, business, and social welfare). I would certainly shrug as well when Uncle Sam comes whining when those he trampled on are dying from poisons you’ve made illegal and are being produced somewhere else. It’s not like any other nation can perfectly control their imports and exports. They probably are just denying it altogether to save face with their people.

I’m always surprised at just how capitalist Chinese businesses are.
