This meme is like leaning on a railing to get bearing in a dark room only for it to drop out from under you when the lights turn on.

I jumped over to logseq. It takes some getting used to, but overall logseq is working fine overall.

Having also been born and raised in the United States and having met a variety of people from various walks of life, I am of the opinion that he hit the nail square on the head. I’ve met kind selfless people, sure, but that is the exception to the rule most often.

He wasn’t, Charles was born and raised in Britain, but later in his career he visited the US for his journalist work.

Uhh, nah that’s not new. Charles Dickens explicitly talked mad smack about how greedy and self-enamoured Americans were, and their general worship of the wealthy. It was a severe kick in the head to his previous conceptions of America being a place of prosperity and opportunity.

It’s easier to understand if you say “wish into one hand, shit into the other. See which fills up first”

So you know when people mimick a butterfly with their hands? Yeah, just that one-handed.

I know a certain firearms guy who’s pointed out gun culture’s hypocrisy for quite a while (most recent video regarding it).

• Israel is deranged and has the strongest military in the middle east atm, and nukes
• The US has its navy on every major trade route
• Europe’s biggest members are all still aligned with Israel.

Basically Any nation attempting to jettison Israel would be devastated in multiple fashions, so none of them wants to start a large-scale fight.

Never forget Blair Mountain.

He’s currently trying to get a 51st state (Canada would need to be at least 6 or more, in all honesty), but it looks like he’s at risk of losing some states from where I’m sitting.

This whole thing reads not like a codebase versus, but a traditional engineering approach (don’t act like you can patch this once you release it - get it done so it’s stable the first time) versus the more modern “move fast and break things” approach.

This is just the start, and will likely involve the West bank next. After that, it’s likely that Israel will attempt expanding into its neighbors.

And it’s not just to get some old dudes even richer - it’s also to further crush the ability of the middle east to rebel or obtain meaningful autonomy.

Not a member myself, but I agree that this makes alot of sense, where proof of membership is a requirement to join this instance.

On a seperate note, how does one become a member of SDF?

Ah, this post explains the long pause in my account getting approved. Glad you guys resolved it.
