I have no idea what is going on, or the details, and am very suspicious this is not as much as a cut off as advertised, and will probably be reversed later, maybe in sneakier ways

Lots can happen here; I think it’s just going to be a political rally which irritates many but does not change much. A power play.

But who knows? Dozens of things can happen. Some could be seen as good by those who are against the USA military, even funny. Or it could be terrifying to all.

I guess we will find out as this little martinet makes his attempt to get noticed

Yes.

That answer is only for my own country America, I do not have strong opinions for other areas and countries.

And I realize the term is broad, and gives connotations I do not intend.

A socialist movement that is backed by force, and not using democratic methods, would save far more lives than it would destroy.

Americans do not understand democracy because they do not understand, at a fundamental level, that ballot counts need to be witnessed and recounts always allowed.

They cannot be taught that. This removes reform by democracy.

But when reform is imposed on by force there are many who would disagree . So the revolution would need to defend itself. That means time and time again, this would happen repeatedly. And the cost would be horrible.

Of course my preferred solution would raise new problems, and a rise of a new elite would have to countered, and history shows that is hard. But I think because tens of millions of Americans will die if this revolution not happen, then it’s worth it

I hate to say people are grifting off this, it’s nasa.

But unfortunately it’s high probability this is an impossible launch window without reckless disregard to the astronauts, and someone is using this to advance commercial contracts for a mission that will not happen, or will happen with perhaps tragic results

Having the White House make an executive order to buy out Nintendo is going to be unexpected??

Don’t listen to their parents about advice

The thing is, it may be a horrible idea to risk so much for something you so strongly want to do.

Most people don’t.

But if you don’t, you will regret it forever. This is the fate of most people

Poor Aunte Fa, we barely knew her

Shows the further decline of social ties in local communities. A trend that is over two generations old. If one looks back at the same group in the 1970s their social contacts will seem huge .

Addition thoughts: this trend is also what has caused the collapse of local politics in the USA, and broke grassroots. It was a necessary precursor to the rise of the oligarchs.

And one can also see this reflected in fewer churches, bars, places of prostitution, pool halls, social clubs etc etc

Seems like the same political forces that compelled Australia, Canada and the Uk to recognize Palestine. And what compelled Sanders to recognize the genocide .

In all cases: move that still prioritizes Israel, is a powerless gesture, still supports the genocide, whose sole purpose is to provide political cover.

Seems like more price rises at the grocery store

It seems like beyond the pale for me.

I’m sure I’m not unique in that sentiment.

No, because the definition of a hero involves not being part of the cynical political class.

Heroes must emerge from the working class

Tactics and strategy only works for those willing to use power when they can.

This is enabling those who they purport to be against

I’m pretty sure my subconscious meant to type it, for unknown reasons. And I’m not going to change it. Maybe I want the internet to go out with style

Solar flairs are the sword of Damocles hanging over all the internet. It’s only a matter of when the next https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event

It may be a few decades away, or next week. But everyone will get a notice of two days that all online data and communications will be destroyed , or not available at all, for at least a year

Spam through PRs (and presumably also Issues)?

Why stop at dating? I just realized other possibilities, like “we have trying to reach you about your car insurance”

It’s heavy with American liberals and European centralists - they are similar. Both groups lean more rightward each year

There are many issues he will not touch: not least ballot counting problems. And he hesitates to suggest real solutions to many issues other than vote blue no matter who.

Basically he has made his career being a centralist’s idea of a left wing politician.

I think it’s valid unless one thinks git should be the only standard. Looking at other tool chains opens options
