I’m a 50-something man, and i still have the Maxine und Moritz cushion from when I was a toddler. Well, technically, it’s a different pillow as the original is extremely tatty now.

A general strike might be a good start. And there’s always that 2nd amendment.

I can feel the Thoughts and Prayers from here.

He’s not insane, he’s evil.

To be fair, he’s dead, so there’s not that much current news.

She’s mirin who ever took the photo… she seems very happy, despite her condition.

Yeah, whatever you were planning on doing, you’re doing this instead.

This isn’t bullying. This is corruption/bribery.

Russia Today

Have you seen how close Russia is to Japan?

I’m absolutely disgusted by this. These guys were trafficking and raping young women (kids?) and Trump thinks this is not only OK but to be encouraged? And Romania… WTF?

She should have done all of that, but they would have just found a different wedge issue.

Doesn’t matter - their technique will always find the greatest wedge issue because they start by spreading insane amounts of shit and use monitoring to find which ones are gaining traction. All this is a guess, but it’s such an obvious strategy that I’d be amazed if it wasn’t how they’re working.

I’m from the U.K., so I was lucky enough to experience what I believe was a PoC of this technique during our referendum for PR voting. That time, there were two wedge issues: baby incubators and - I hope I’m getting this right because my memory is hazy - bullet-proof vests for soldiers. Neither of those things were remotely related to the question… but as soon as they started to gain traction, they were pushed hard. Brexit was more money for the NHS. With Jeremy Corbin, it was support for Palestine. With Kamela, it was lack of support of Palestine. None of it needs to make sense, so long as it works as a wedge.

I still believe this was a targeted campaign to get dems to sit out. Their strategy is to spread as much shit as possible, and as soon as they see something that sticks, push it hard. It’s sad, but this strategy is extremely effective against the left because we’re all too eager to find a reason not to support the dems.

The only defence is to be aware of this strategy. Rather than shit on people, try to explain how they’ve been duped so next time they have a chance of noticing.

Why would such a feature need facial recognition? Just use the ID on the travel pass and done - cheaper, faster, and harder to fake if done properly.

Having read the whole article, I’m not entirely sure Amanda Palmer comes out smelling of roses either - the way the last few paragraphs are written make me feel she’s covering up for him, and those lyrics read like she’s got it in for her.

The lint filter, I think. I’ve never heard of cleaning it every time, though.

That and don’t forget to clean the filter! I do that every month, doesn’t take long and it keeps everything running smoothly.

I think you have this back to front. The grammar rules were written long after the language was spoken. Their purpose is to describe how language is actually used. Language evolves, though, so grammar must evolve too.

Not bad? I’m no fan of T Pain, and kind of so-so with Sabbath - but this was a great cover version. Amazing musicians really milking that tune for all its worth.
