I don’t understand this article. Just last week the news here was that our prisons are overcrowded and we are considering leasing prison space in Eastern Europe. Maybe it’s only certain types of prisons that have shortages? Guess I should look into it a bit more.
Not really all that strange. I’m not up on how this particular vote went but if 39% is in favor only 23% needs to abstain for the ‘against’ vote to be in the minority. Also counting by percentage of the total population is misleading and kind of dumb, we’re never going to have individual referenda for this type of decision making and thank god for that. That’s how we got Brexit.
Aside this form of Musk style “interesting 🤔” rhetoric really raises my hackles.
Taiwan is incredibly pro-US, one of our staunchest allies in Asia, together with Japan. Great idea pissing them off.
It might not work eh? Might it though? I hate this kind of weasel headline almost as much as the constant “slamming”. Just say what you’re going to say.
Might be an unpopular take but… maybe being good at high school math tests is not really such an important gift in the real world.
What will keep you safe is not selling your business to a mega corp.
The big problem is that one usually leads to the other. Saying politically unpopular things in a way those governments perceive as threatening often leads to more than just administrative fines.
Sure but that doesn’t answer the question. Maybe if there were a broad call from their other trading partners to take a moral stance but China is well known for not taking political stances they don’t directly benefit from. Again scoring some easy political points against the US is great but I don’t see them making any serious move here unless it somehow serves their interests (which is a perfectly rational stance to take, it’s not a criticism.)
You have any source on this? It’s one thing for the CCP to use this situation to make the US look bad but do they actually have any incentive to materially support Palestine? Seems unlikely they’d hurt their own trade over this.
joor rite spelin is stoopit an sos punktution. Pandas be damned.
Free (as in beer) is never free
Great, why don’t we hurry the whole WW3 thing along and start bombing our allies too?
Mainly because my Windows license is an OEM one that won’t move to the “new hardware” :/

The US has a ton of problems, I’m not saying it’s a great country to live in necessarily (I wouldn’t move there given the choice). But it’s not a dictatorship where laws are optional for the government.
Maybe freedom doesn’t mean anything to you when you’re not the one being reeducated though.

If it’s a virus presumably it will return. Keep an eye (or ear) on your fan, especially after a restart.
I was going to immediately mention Hollow Knight but I see someone already did. Second thought: Tunic. It’s been a long time since a game hit me as hard as those two.
For pure fun addictive gaming: Factorio is absolutely nuts. 2D survival craft platforming action: Terraria is still king.
For space empire building check out X4: Foundations, after almost 10 years under development it’s absolutely amazing (but a huge timesink haha)
Oh and if you’re into semi-hard-scifi basebuilding you could give Stationeers a look. Sunk quite some hours into that one.
