The worst part is that I am getting paid a salary I could have only dreamed about years ago, and yet I still can’t afford anything with how drastically everything went up in price.
Wages in general have gone up a little bit, but it’s crazy to me that I’m earning more than 5x as much as I used to 15 years ago and feel like my buying power has not noticeably improved at all. I’m still stuck living in crappy apartments because that is all I can afford.
Agreed, especially on the psyops front. It’s no secret that Russia has been manipulating global politics for a long time now, and France is another European country which has seen a rising Russia-friendly neofascist movement in Rassemblement National. They’ve just barely been kept out of power the past few election, but as their numbers keep growing, one must only wonder how much longer that can be the case.
Similar with Germany and AfD. Europe is being worn down from within and no one seems to be inclined to do anything about it.
I’m reminded of stories I’ve heard of graduate students hiding a note and some cash in the pages of their theses that they submit to the university, just to see if anyone bothers reading it and takes the cash. They return years later to find it still there.
With open source, the code is all there ready for review by anyone, as long as you have the technical knowhow and patience to review the code you use. But like reading the terms and conditions for everything we use, how many people actually take the time to go through all that code?
Am I crazy or are the shades of blue in the key of that graph completely different from the shades of blue in the graph itself?
The people you’re messaging might, though.
Same here in Massachusetts back in 2020.
It’s not necessarily a GOP vs Dem issue, it’s dominant parties worried that giving voters more choice will weaken their control.
The general worker anxiety in the US is so bad that most people believe that attempts to unionize will end up costing them their jobs anyways.
Worst part is that not all of them are wrong.
May constitute a war crime? Israel is a war crime.
Leadership inaction
“We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying”
All these months later and fuckhead still thinks tariffs are a tax on other countries.
It sorta depends on what kind of US citizen they are. As one example, US-Israeli citizens are precious innocents who must be protected at all costs, but US-Palestinian citizens are fine as collateral.

Yeah, the justice system in the US is pretty fucked up. Provably so, with plenty of data made publicly available to back it up.
The ol’ RFK Jr. strategy, eh?
I think that might be a misreading, they have no humanity in deed, not in essence. They weren’t born subhuman, they are choosing to be.
I’m not going to give the genociders the benefit of the doubt, at least.
Administrative detentions can be longer. On paper they can hold you about a month, but it can be longer than that with a judge’s signoff if they have proof of a crime.
This is typically where the police try to get you to confess to something and drag it out as long and uncomfortably as possible until you do, after which you either get to go free (though you end up on a list for a long time) or you may go to a “black jail”/黑監獄 which is a sort of under-the-table prison.
The terms of release can also sometimes require completion of a rehabilitation program, which is often the voluntary alternative to prison, or getting transferred to a short stay detention center for a few months to perform community service.
The previous user is a bit off base with the labor camps idea (not to say that the Xinjiang detention camps for Uyghurs aren’t widely known), but it is worth noting that China does utilize administrative detentions/行政拘留 for smaller offenses which are kept statistically separate from prison counts.
If Raiden needs a source, the law covering administrative detentions can be reviewed here:
That’s a cool looking Zelda poster you have there in the background.
I had to laugh when I saw a snippet from the news this morning where they played a short clip of other “2 week” promises he made that were based on nothing and led to nothing.
Maybe Trump is just 2 week as a leader.
Butter emails!
