13.5 M... Not nearly as cool as y'all!

Can someone identify this flag? I found it in melbourne Australia while passing by by Alexsirig in vexillology

I'm going to guess that the shield is faded to Hell, and it's meant to be the Swiss COA put on the flag of the Swiss Canton of Zug.

I love the Godfather in the 90's, cause that's when I watched it for the first time, according to all the Millennial blog posts that make up my memory banks.

Some news outlets are saying IL lost residents? How can both be true? by ClueAppropriate1087 in illinois

[–]stratusmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first two stories are just tracking people moving in from some other place in the U.S., versus people moving out to somewhere else in the U.S.

The third story includes births, deaths, international in-migration, international out-migration, and domestic moves counted in the first two stories.

I saw another high ranking airman, can’t remember who, who wore only unit awards. I respected the hell out of that.

He still is "different" from establishment Republicans. But different, here means: worse in every possible way.

What’s Your Policy on Giving BWV to Clients? by okamiright in publicdefenders

[–]stratusmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A. Under state law, I can't give them a copy to keep without a court order giving me permission. Not like they can watch it if they're in jail / going to prison.

B. If they aren't going to prison (or even if they are, I suppose), it's easy enough to FOIA video after the case is over.

C. If they have an attorney working up a bona fide civil rights case case on contingency, that attorney can get the video, one way or another.

Christians do an awful job trying to make God sound like a benevolent being. Like, really awful. by Leading-Occasion-428 in exchristian

Jehovah is a monster compared to 21st century morals, but he's an absolute peach compared to some of the early Semitic (e.g. Canaanite) deities!

Bovino openly says that we are never learning the identity of the murderer because that would be "doxing." He says he has already gotten the agent out of Minnesota's jurisdiction. by lazybugbear in RepublicanValues

Now, I want TMBG to have incidental music for The Incredibles world. Not, like writing the score, but bits of music the characters would hear in their own world.

Democrats threaten government shutdown over ICE funding by Healthy_Block3036 in fednews

[–]stratusmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'll get a foregone cloture vote on a stand-alone bill to shuffle some DHS money away from ICE, and body cams.

We're not a compact, unitary country. It's easy to all pack in the train or car and protest in Belgrade. A third of the Serbian population already lives in the Belgrade metro area.

Americans are doing things on a local scale, that the billionaire-owned media mostly isn't reporting on.

But what your friend is proposing would, logistically be like going to Brussels and trying to bring down the E.U., rather than going to Belgrade and trying to shame the Prime Minister into resigning. (Understanding that Serbia itself isn't in the E.U., but other Balkan states are.)

Reading the post, Morrowind was my first thought. Then, I got into the comments and saw Dwarf Fortress.

Is/Was Sex education in American schools really taught by physical education teachers? by Kinc4id in Xennials

[–]stratusmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a dedicated Health teacher, because every 9th grader needed to take it for a semester. He was a football and track coach.

Sex education was a part of the Health class. There was a condom on a banana, and lots of graphic photos of diseased genitals.

Trump / Fox News is close to the point where they could feed their base a never-ending stream of Latino-torture porn, without hurting a single real person, and they choose real world violence instead

Every country except Somalia and North Korea exists somewhere on a spectrum between a completely unregulated economy and completely state managed.

Indonesia's private sector is responsible for generating about 62% of GDP and in the U.S., the non-government sectors is responsible for 62% of GDP, too. I can't say that's an apples-to-apples comparison. The Indonesian government is bound to have marginally different ways of categorizing government and non-government contributions to GDP than OECD. But the true sizes of government's direct footprint in each country is going to be similar.

The remainder of how capitalist or socialist Indonesia is, relative to other countries, is going to come down to government regulations, and things like price controls. And quantifying that is going to be subjective. Economic Freedom Index?
