Billy Bonesaw. You know they have LADIES just walking around over there?

Article 7: All organizations and citizens shall support, assist, and cooperate with national intelligence efforts in accordance with law, and shall protect national intelligence work secrets they are aware of.

Trusting ambitious Chinese citizens is like trusting an American corporation. Our governments are big, the things they want can be small, why would the average person say no?

“Chinese spy” is a silly narrative but it’s even sillier to have a government say “I get to do this” and just… ignore it.

Would you say that you’re wearing imperialist clothes then for the tactical benefit, like a soldier on a secret mission disguised as the enemy?

Everyone understands Russia is correct to invade because NATO can’t be a neighbor, and that NATO is correct to “take” Ukraine because it’s possible and useful in keeping Russia in check. The problem is that this is imperialist logic. The common sense that runs the world of zero sum capitalists. The “think of the shareholders” of geopolitics.

People pointed out that any financial support frees up budgets for offensive weapons and she changed her stance. (Or maybe it was the backlash in general.) I don’t know what votes have come up since.

I feel like most of his movies are like this.

He is impervious to doing good things. That early “concession” just couldn’t last.

Could a god make a bean so large that they couldn’t eat it?

Roy Mustang?

Reminds me of “we’re anthropic, we’re selling a text transformer that you should use for everything. Also make sure to enter the correct text for us, manually, so it doesn’t get trained wrong”

Or “we’re Google, we’re selling AI that you should weave into everything because it’s revolutionary. Also we can’t just turn off AI for schools because it would be difficult to program and maintain. You know how it is”

I think Canada, Australia, Britain, and Europe are weak ghouls who stood by our side while we inflicted evil and misery on the world. At least in a moral sense, I’m glad Trump stuck his fingers in the pie and made all these Five Eyed goons run away.

It was especially disgusting to see everyone post pictures of dead soldiers and act like helping America fight all these wars was a noble thing that Trump was denigrating. Imagine being proud to wage war at the behest of corporate America.

At the end of the day, these ghoulish cultures didn’t rebuke American policy, they rebuked Trump. They didn’t like that their slice of the pie was being stolen by a conman. It skeeves me out to think we’re going to grow closer again after all this. Really hope I’m wrong and we snap out of it.

That was such a crazy moment that ended up not mattering much.

When I got my hands on one it disgusted me to see Google recommends throwing them in a landfill once they end support. I didn’t know people were just throwing these away. I mean how many got saved by someone with the tech literacy? 5%? Less?

Feels like websites should start listing system requirements. Why can my laptop run songs of syx with 10,000 citizens but it can barely navigate news websites? Why does Steam take up more resources than a game? Everything that views web content is bloated except for things like Lynx.

I would assume that the arguments would be about track condition, not about whether or not there was a sporting advantage. Steward logic is a bit alien, but they’re drivers and I’m not.

Edit: it’s like Ollie when he bopped Gabi (iirc) during the long awkward left a couple years ago still got a penalty despite it “not even affecting his race.”

Well yeah. “Economy” with an asterisk. Where everything is made up and the points don’t matter (except when the results feel right). Feels like this line of reasoning requires a whole lot of “obviously it’s this, this time, you can just tell” spackle to fill up the gaps.

This race was great, I didn’t expect it to keep up with Saturday. Interlagos threw everything at the drivers and they hung in there.

It felt good to see Hadjar light up during the interview.

I don’t get it personally. I don’t see how they conspiracy-hole this and that, and pretend the most outrageous things, but then supposedly diesel or whatever is the last straw. Decades of being financially fucked into the ground by conservative policy, a decade of But Joe Biden!, and now diesel does it??? Ok I guess.

It’s not their money. These people have 5 aces in their hand. They cheat and then instead of golden rocket cars, they buy the media, our politicians, and secret compounds where they brainstorm how to dismantle democracy and start cults.

It’s just that the cheaters that top the leaderboard also know how to play the game, so they overlap legitimate investors and business owners. Musk and friends don’t need to cheat every hand because the deck is already stacked in their favor.

This was worth the wait and there’s still two more to go

Let’s go!

At least now we’ll have positive track evolution. I think it’s better than people doing one lap per session due to increasingly slow conditions.
