It’s interesting to hear about someone having a similar experience due to a brain injury. I have always wondered if my inability to internalize thoughts was some kind of developmental thing; if I don’t speak them or write them down then they’re really scattered and sorta incoherent.
Probably different for everyone, but I have neither and sometimes feel almost compelled to speak my thoughts out loud. If I don’t speak them they’re just kind of abstract feelings or impressions.
Your second paragraph is exactly why this line of thinking is dangerous. People with disabilities aren’t uniquely prone to dangerous ideologies. No matter how good the intentions are this would only create an association between disability and becoming fascist, which does nothing but hurt vulnerable people in the long run. We can support them without fear-mongering about how dangerous they may be otherwise.
Also the longer they make the article the more places for ads. Most websites are cool about this and add a “jump to recipe” button, but many don’t so they can get more ad revenue.
who can say what the police and prosecutors will conclude?
Prosecutorial discretion is the real issue in most of these cases. If it were brought before a jury it could easily be argued that they tried literally nothing else before killing this person, so how could they reasonably believe anything? But it may never get to a jury because the DA might be a racist dirtbag who just decides to never press any charges.
Centrist Democrats seem to have a compulsive need to virtue signal at every opportunity. They don’t have good policy so they have to prove their moral superiority, which might have worked a decade ago, but just makes them look spineless now.
The calls for Silwa to drop out are so desperate. Asking the opposing party to just butt out of the race so the two Democrats can duke it out is just insane.
I despise this website. It is so wildly misleading, especially since most of the graphs don’t actually radically change until the 80s. There is no one thing that caused everything/could fix everything, it was a lot of policy changes and deregulation through the 70s and 80s.
Would not be surprised if they’re more full of people willing to work for free than other sectors, though, as racist hate is a strong motivator.
A strong motivator it may be, but it doesn’t pay the bills. I have a feeling a lot of the new recruits aren’t the most financially savvy bunch and won’t be able to sustain missing multiple paychecks. If the Democrats stick to their guns for a while we’ll probably see a lot of ICE agents going broke and quitting.
Russia didn’t act stupidly, but they did fail to correctly assess the relative military readiness of themselves and their opponents.
I think it’s fair to say that Russia has since acted stupidly and continues to act stupidly. The meat-grinder approach may have worked with an overwhelming man power advantage and at least some training. Instead they’ve just hemorrhaged men, equipment, and morale by just throwing untrained and under-equipped soldiers at the front line.
He’s definitely also weak, he flip flops on every move. They would be further along if they weren’t handcuffed to a senile narcissist with one foot in the grave. OTOH they have only gotten this far riding his cult of personality, once he kicks it I have a feeling the whole party will collapse into infighting and not get anything done.
It’s just another example of how great public works programs were. If the workers were housed/fed/paid decent wages, I think people would sign up in droves to travel around and do work that improves their country all the while learning useful trades/skills. And something like publicly owned farms would probably pay for themselves.
I would agree with it if it was working on publicly owned farms. I don’t support any kind of “drafted” labor that ultimately benefits private owners, or even a system where the government reaps the profits. If people are made to work in any fashion, every cent of value generated should go back to them.
Someone else in this thread pointed out that this would just encourage bad actors to make sock puppet accounts to get around being blocked.
Our best hope is the GOP imploding due to the massive power vacuum Trump’s death will create. There is a lot of discontent among Republicans right now, they’re all just too afraid (or still too loyal) to Trump to oppose him directly. But Vance? He has the charisma and popularity of a wet paper towel. There will be no hesitation throwing him under the bus.
As much as it will probably hurt, it’s in everyone’s best interest to wean themselves off of the American tech sector. Microsoft in particular has its greedy fingers in so many western governments and really needs to be cut off.
I think it’s fair to say that it’s only voluntary if it’s put in place by some consensus (and can be taken away by consensus). Say you work at a coop and all of the leadership is elected and can be easily recalled, then it’s voluntary. Even if you like your boss and don’t want their responsibilities, you ultimately don’t get a choice in the matter.
And after the actors practically rewrote all their own dialogue.
Even if it is an anomalous high point, it’s still a high point! Remember to let yourself live in the good moments and enjoy them, not because they may not last, but because you deserve them. I’m glad that you’re doing better :)
He was asked why that airline and he specifically said it wasn’t to do with the airline, just that that particular flight suited his needs. He did say “it’s just because I have a grudge”, but he didn’t say what it was.
I also agree he died, mostly because they never found the money in circulation. None of the serial numbers they gave him were ever identified. So it seems he either never spent a cent of it, or he didn’t survive the jump.
