If you can come up with a better rhyme, I’m all ears.

History does not repeat, but sometimes it rhymes.

This is a very obvious rhyme.

So he’s just trying to stop anyone from trading with us, is he?

I don’t belive the headline is accurate, based on my reading of the article.

It looks line they area going to continue reading the food for safety. What they have stopped doing is making sure the tests are run properly.

I’m not suggesting that this is a noteworthy improvement, nor am I 100% sure my reading is correct. But I prefer the accurate information to the inaccurate.

Empty words should never be considered as a start.

No policy in the world will stop minors from using the app. I can’t tell you how many “I am 18+” dialogues I clicked on when I was younger. You want access restrictions.

Do you want to scan your id every time you open the discord app?

Can you explain the fringe thing to me, too?

Or a mistake.

Yea, an “administrative error,” like what landed that one gentleman in El Salvador, right?

There is no legal basis for this fight. Do you pollen to start shooting tax collectors?

I think a more interesting question would be “how.”

The word literally means “not from here.” In the bible, Jesus tells us to be kind to the alien among us, and he wasn’t talking about men from Mars.

This is, functionally, the concentration camps.

That’s the thing that a lot of people keep misunderstanding. If the President of the US wants a person back from what I am going to describe as “A lesser country,” only for this exact moment, and not for any other case at all, he can get that person back. Send a battle group over, and ask politely.

El Salvador does not have the ability to keep him, if we want him back.

If they die messily, how long will it be before the next courageous instinct shows up?

Agreed. With the added bonus that we have too live in the system while we burn it down. I’m not a huge fan of the idea, but then, I’m a maintainer by nature.

I have nifty tech, yes, but I also have vaccination deniers, Nazis, and my fourth “once in a lifetime” economic crises. I’m never going to buy a house. I’m never going to retire. I’ll probably never even pay off my student loans.

I personally think that, largely speaking, if imports are cheaper than local production, that’s a good thing!

I’m hardly an economist, right? But I agree with you, broadly speaking. But first covid, and now Trump round two is showing is the weakness of global integration. As long as everything goes smoothly, it’s jam for everyone. But let something screw up the logistics, or someone duck up the balance of trade, and everything can go to shit really fast. There are lots of things we can’t make here, but we rely on them. That is less than ideal.

I don’t know that tariffs are the way to address that issue, or even if it needs to be addressed at all. O do know that the way Trump is doing it is all wrong.

I’d go with “deshittification,” myself. It’s not important how or why they are shit, just that they are, and the laws in question prevent us from fixing it.

The airport tried that shit on me today. I was able to make it print me a boarding pass, though.

I’m becoming a luddite in my middle age.

I think that’s a feature, not a bug.

I’m old enough to remember them promising, repeatedly, that the nude scanners didn’t, couldn’t save images.

Joke’s on them though. They can’t delete my pictures fast enough to avoid the trauma.
