The problem with Greenwald is that he seems to have staked his whole reputation on being anti-status quo instead of pro-truth, which has already put him on the wrong side of history on a number of issues.

Nah the secret is to push just enough out of the wrapper to have a bite and let the crumbs fall down into the wrapper, and repeat until you only have crumbs. Same with the second bar. Then just pour the crumbs into your mouth.

Satire is dead

Seriously, how is that not the answer to all this. This world is batshit crazy.

That’s what I was thinking, surely it was an aide who was dialing who’d only hand the phone to Obama when it actually connected to Key

The only reason this might see real legal action is that FB did this to other megacorps.

It’s such a same though to throw away that uniqueness. It would have been interesting to instead have a skilled firm do an evolution of the original.

I’m interested in Ireland too, especially in the next few years as the reunification party is resurgent

All this plus I think it’s important to say to first: be EXTREMELY careful if you feel the need to critique or criticize someone who is being helpful. Really think about if it’s worth it. If what they’re doing really isn’t helping anything then maybe it’s worth it!

BUT if you just think they could do it better or if they aren’t doing it how you would do it, then think again. You might end up simply discouraging a helpful attitude that would have figured things out on their own if you had just given them a bit of vague encouragement and time.

Western powers started out relatively strong but at this point I could almost see Putin betting on a weak response. I’m hoping some of these warnings get heeded and the US/EU realizes they won’t even have to think about it if they simply provide Ukraine with overwhelming support.

Mmm oven heat, I just want to put my whole head in there

I mean people set fires and bombs in pursuit of the right to vote and we could argue that climate change is far more existential.

Trump would suggest they use nukes to speed it along, I’m fairly sure

Yeah I knew instantly this was created by an experienced troll

Great, so we should start reuptake now because it’s already too late. I know it’s a controversial subject and I know why but we better get used to the idea of it now because it has to happen.

It’s actually all finally explained in Cabin in the Woods

Right? Firefox has been excellent for some time now, and Google has actively betrayed user’s trust for at least as long. It’s easy to switch and Firefox almost always has equivalent plugins and other solutions. There’s very little reason not to switch.

Genuinely curious, why do you think that?

I did a little searching around but don’t understand for sure - so Duda is on a different election schedule and stays in power until 2025, is that right? But then he can’t run again?

Yeah they have been playing fast and loose with their ‘premium’ plan for a while. I cancelled and switched when they started serving ads to podcasts (not the baked-in ones from the podcast - dynamic ads inserted by Spotify).

It’s insulting that they would pull this crap and embarrassing that we all put up with it.
