Yes. Always good to say it again, though, lest people forget.

I’m reminded of a line from Yes, Minister.

If you’re going to do this damn stupid thing, so do it in this damn stupid way.

If they actually wanted this to work, they world have given people some time to get their shit in order.

If you can come up with a better rhyme, I’m all ears.

History does not repeat, but sometimes it rhymes.

This is a very obvious rhyme.

So he’s just trying to stop anyone from trading with us, is he?

I don’t belive the headline is accurate, based on my reading of the article.

It looks line they area going to continue reading the food for safety. What they have stopped doing is making sure the tests are run properly.

I’m not suggesting that this is a noteworthy improvement, nor am I 100% sure my reading is correct. But I prefer the accurate information to the inaccurate.

Empty words should never be considered as a start.

No policy in the world will stop minors from using the app. I can’t tell you how many “I am 18+” dialogues I clicked on when I was younger. You want access restrictions.

Do you want to scan your id every time you open the discord app?

Can you explain the fringe thing to me, too?

Or a mistake.

Yea, an “administrative error,” like what landed that one gentleman in El Salvador, right?

I’m not saying I approve of what he’s doing. Quite the contrary.

But it’s what he’s asking, and how he’s asking, not that he’s asking.

There is no legal basis for this fight. Do you pollen to start shooting tax collectors?

Trying to control the way other countries are run is fucking wild, the notion of which should never even be remotely entertained.

In happier times, we call the process “diplomacy,” and mostly limit it to things that affect us, directly or indirectly.

But pressuring other countries to, for example, clean up their corruption so we can reliably do business with them is common. (Also hilariously hypocritical) Pressuring other countries to enact civil rights laws is fairly common, too.

I have to admit, seeing pressure to remove civil rights is unusual, at least from countries not named UAE.

I think a more interesting question would be “how.”

The word literally means “not from here.” In the bible, Jesus tells us to be kind to the alien among us, and he wasn’t talking about men from Mars.

This is, functionally, the concentration camps.

That’s the thing that a lot of people keep misunderstanding. If the President of the US wants a person back from what I am going to describe as “A lesser country,” only for this exact moment, and not for any other case at all, he can get that person back. Send a battle group over, and ask politely.

El Salvador does not have the ability to keep him, if we want him back.

If they die messily, how long will it be before the next courageous instinct shows up?

I like huge anime titties more than this guy, but I have the decency not to advertise the fact to my neighbors.

I don’t know the meaning, either. Temba, his arms wide?
