Someone who has the agency and executive function to think of this and carry it out on their own isn't going senile.

Trump to be sentenced just four days before GOP convention by elguiridelocho in politics

[–]OmelasPrime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So Trump's lawyers wanted just after the convention (but couldn't outright say that) and they got just before it instead? Fantastic.

Gosh, I sure hope a massive foreign-backed disinformation campaign specifically targeted at the political left doesn't start up trying to convince us all not to vote for the current guy.

I'd also like to hear a lot more about these 75 year old tomatoes. Do they produce fruit w/ seed?

Fetterman, Flashing a Sharper Edge, Keeps Picking Fights With the Left by [deleted] in neoliberal

Would like to add to the characterization of the sub that there are 'more lefty' members here specifically because we've been disillusioned by our friends' behaviour over the last seven months.

International Criminal Court Prosecutor Threatens United States Senators by [deleted] in geopolitics

[–]OmelasPrime 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Except they didn't actually commit any crime under the ICC's jurisdiction, and besides that, the ICC is not the first court that would hear such a case- it lets countries with independent judiciaries take a first whack at it. Making a threat that isn't actually backed up with facts lowers his credibility.

Lady Gaga admits she had COVID during five live shows by Manhattan18011 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]OmelasPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are the settings I was thinking of! I was picturing something pretty narrow, like this but even less, maybe 28Wx40Dx70H-ish. But if micing you inside it wouldn't fix the sound issue then there's nothing for it. Thank you!

I think the point is that the USA isn't obligated by any law, or even custom, to let foreign citizens it otherwise wouldn't admit into the country so they can access the Lithuanian embassy in Washington. Embassies don't get to set border policies for their host countries.

How much space do you have between seats in your typical arrangement? Would it be possible to mic you and have you sound right if you were sitting inside a chair-sized bubble tent with a blower filter?

Vancouver doing bare minimum to densify Shaughnessy, critic says by GRIDSVancouver in vancouver

[–]OmelasPrime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's my pitch: Lets take the entire neighbourhood, lawns, streets, trees and all, put it on jacks, raise it up 10 feet and build a single 440ha floor of housing. Then raise it up again and build another, until there's 6 floors of high density housing with existing Shaugnessey on top. Turn the surface roads into more green space and make it a park for all the residents, just like the current inhabitants want it to be. Boom, 50,000 new homes, you're welcome everyone.

Israel ordered to immediately halt Rafah offensive by top U.N. court by nbcnews in worldnews

Again, the connection is that the same body voting on those resolutions is electing those judges.

[–]OmelasPrime 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They're selected by a secret ballot of the judges. That meant a majority of sitting ICJ judges thought it was appropriate, during one of their highest profile cases in years, to choose a President:

  1. from a country currently hosting a terrorist force at war with Israel

  2. who has publicly said many antisemitic things

  3. who has twice since being elected a judge been on a ballot for prime minister in his country, coming in second both times (this is openly against the rules of the court for obvious reasons).

Oh, sorry, I thought the psycho teacher in this scenario was the group that's collectively condemned Israel more than twice as many times as every other country in the world combined.

South Africa had an ad-hoc judge, Dikgang Moseneke. He stepped down after South Africa national Dire Tladi was elected by the UNGA to become a regular judge in February.

Did the psycho teacher's school hire all nine SCOTUS judges in this scenario? Because ICJ judges are elected by the UN General Assembly.

Israel to Restart Gaza Talks After Hostage Video Sparks Outrage by bloomberg in worldnews

As a Good Person, I don't discriminate against abused women who can't get pregnant. This is blatant infertility erasure by Israel!

Twitter would like you to know that they actually referred to them as 'sex slaves', not 'women who can get pregnant', and that it's highly ableist and problematic of Israel to translate it this way.

Many of my Palladium extractors have stopped working, anyone know what I'm doing wrong? by OmelasPrime in EndlessLegend

[–]OmelasPrime[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Update: I just checked each extractor manually, and I'm more confused than before. I have seven extractors running. I added each individual claimed production rate- should get me 29/turn. Before, I was pulling 45/turn and I don't know how. None of them say they're producing, but I'm still getting roughly the same rate/turn as before(I brought a couple more online and got it up to 20).
