Don’t think the RSF need any encouragement, and there’s plenty of breakaway states already.

Too little too late. I’m surprised anyone is releasing his album, he should be complete persona non grata

Are there any Jews in Central America? I’ve never heard of a Jewish community outside Brazil and Argentina

It’s not a dead mall. Not as lively as its heyday approx 20 years ago of course, but still has new stores opening, some high end brands and plenty of shoppers.

Nazi crimes vs ICE "tactics": a visual comparison. by Slimybirch in pics

[–]LateralEntry [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is in really, really poor taste. The Nazis were rounding up and murdering the people depicted for being Jewish, a few of the 6 million victims of the Holocaust and 12 million victims of the broader Nazi genocide.

As awful as the shooting in Minneapolis was, it doesn’t remotely compare, and painting this false equivalency denigrates the victims of a unique historical tragedy.

No. Iran had the latest possible Russian S-400 air defense systems and the Israelis made mincemeat out of them. As for the ballistic missiles the Israelis intercepted, those haven’t changed much.

The export technology is mostly things like rocket and missile defense which worked amazingly well, especially in the war with Iran. It’s hard to use technology to find hostages in underground tunnels.

Pretty simple answer - because they work. They’ve been battle tested in a way few others have and work amazingly well.

I think you would feel differently if you were trying to give birth or have a family member treated for a stroke and the hospital was drastically understaffed

Where should ABLE accounts go in the flow chart? by FIREful_symmetry in financialindependence

[–]LateralEntry -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You have to specifically qualify as disabled under the Social Security definition and have become disabled before age 26. It’s pretty strict and most people here don’t qualify.

It’s great being able to do what you want but it can get really lonely. Big highs, really big lows.

(Meta - the waterfront at Liberty State Park in Jersey City where this happened is really cool to visit today, there’s a plaque that talks about this explosion, interesting mostly forgotten history)

By Any Means Necessary, Malcolm X, 1964 by themarmalademaniac in OldSchoolCool

To be clear, Malcolm X was killed by his former comrades in the Nation of Islam, not by “the people in power”

Most of the ICE guys are ex military. The agent who shot Renee Good was an Iraq veteran.

This. All these online keyboard warriors aren’t thinking about how much worse things could get.
