You know you can do more than pressure them, right? You can get involved with your state party, which in turn elects the leaders of the national party. You can vote in the primaries and kick out corporate Dems. We know this works because it’s precisely how the fascists took over the Republican party.

If he gave a shit about the country, he would have voted to convict Trump back in 2021.

It’s what has literally happened to ships that violated the Russian and Iranian sanctions in the last couple years.

The company would be prosecuted and the ship seized the next time it docked at port. If the company was based in literally any other country, nothing would happen.

There is no blockade of Cuba. It’s an embargo. There are no military ships blowing up anyone trying to trade with Cuba.

Nah, it was second behind the invasion of Iraq and the forever war in Afghanistan. The US’s unwillingness to react was in large part because it had been weakened by a decade of idiotic wars in the Middle East. Europe has no excuse though.

You’d think so, but Europe has some pathetically low numbers for this question, with many countries below 50% and a few in the 30s.

Gee, maybe something happened in the 20 years since then that changed people’s opinions on endless wars in the Middle East.

The government buys IT services from the same companies that everyone else does: Google, Microsoft and Amazon. They all offer special government offerings with stricter security.

I guarantee Trump is getting hacked because he and his team refuse to listen to IT and won’t let them turn on basic security features because they’re a slight inconvenience.

The problem with that argument is that 80% of people live in cities. There are not enough rural people for them to be a majority of the Republican party.

Depends on the person’s eyes as well. I have a pretty bad astigmatism that makes dark mode god awful to read.

It’s more that 2d projections of 3d objects are wonky and unintuitive.

There’s several benefits:

1. They draw Russian troops from the front lines in Ukraine to counter the attack.
2. Russia now has to dedicate manpower and equipment to defending their entire border with Ukraine to avoid another attack like this.
3. If Ukraine maintains the territory, it’s a huge bargaining chip at the peace negotiating table. Before this, the only way they were going to get their territory back was by taking it back forcefully. Now they can negotiate a trade.
4. Best case, this is like the Tet offensive and sours support for Putin and the war within Russia, likely because Putin will need another wave of conscription to meet the manpower needs of 1 & 2.

Number of excess deaths from COVID.

Yeah, he only killed about 1.4 million.

Because it isn’t. Their Linux sensor also uses a kernel driver, which means they could have just as easily caused a looping kernel panic on every Linux device it’s installed on.

Yeah and that’s not where the people or cattle live, minus El Paso. Texas is <10% desert. To act like the whole state is a desert is straight up wrong, yet annoyingly common for people who have never been here.

Texas isn’t a desert.

Edit: Please read what I wrote before replying. Texas isn’t a desert does not mean Texas has no desert. 90±% of the state is not desert, including where the vast majority of people live.
