I’m actually certain that the issues facing Nextcloud are not some malicious anti-competitive effort, but yet more sheer and utter incompetence from every enterprise/business facing aspect of Google.

That both may be true and anticompetitive at the same time. Google cloud services apps certainly aren’t randomly getting blocked or going through the same system.

This one is key. Library of Congress is explicitly not executive branch.

Palestinians

Read this as panthers. Was confused how puma concolor was semitic for a few beats.

Nah they just elect a Pope in France if they don’t like the results of this conclave. After awhile it’s decided one of them was always the real Pope. Kind of like the Japanese emperor.

Shaq, for god’s sake!

You don’t get that big without an unnatural amount of hormones.

I really don’t understand that they’re trying to say here. Dude actually has pretty strong zygomatic arches. We can’t all be Abe Lincoln.

jagermeister 70 proof or 35 percent abv. Commonly thought of as a knock you out liquor but actually pretty modest.

That stuff is so cloyingly sweet you’d have to mix it with water to approach something drinkable. A true alcoholic would have a handle of dewars white.

I doubt FIFA is on the Republican take

Well that would be the first corrupt administration they didn’t jump in bed with at the first opportunity then.

And it’s not just the assembly factories that are the problem. Why the hell would you create a factory here when your entire supply chain is going to be hit by tariffs anyway. Not only are you still having to increase prices, now you’re less competitive than offshore factories due to labor, input, and real estate costs. And why would you move supply chain factories here only for them to have to deal with both the above problems and retaliatory tariffs. The US market isn’t worth that for a whole lot of things.

I don’t even find it particularly threatening if they’re pounding on the door because I’m liable to ignore them. When they open it and enter the threshold though, that’s a problem. That will rouse my 6’6" 330 pound ass into hostility. Thankfully that’s only happened twice.

This shitty anime’s got that beat:

I’m not a liberal. Liberal’s prime justification for sticking with the status quo certainly is that they’re “alienated”, though. That’s not the actual reason of course. The actual reason is they’re fat and happy on the current system and don’t want radical change. That’s the benefit of creating pain points, so it’s not so easy to ignore.

You’re the one arguing that direct action should neither be direct or action.

It could, its just hard for the prosecution to handle. Because it’s not direct evidence of the mindset for that incident and it’s inflammatory to the jury the chances of it being ruled as prejudicial and not probative is high. That’s why past criminal convictions are also often excluded from trials.

Not a lawyer, but I think stuff like this is a minefield. The defense would try to get it thrown out as prejudicial and without the suspect testifying all they could do is show a picture to an officer of it who affirms that he saw it on the car and enter it into evidence, but they could only indirectly talk about it in opening and closing because nobody can personally testify about the motivations behind the sticker.

Uncritical acceptance of power structures as natural extensions of humanity. Sometimes this place really is Reddit.

I’m actually trained in this. I went to school and this was a topic and then I passed a test and got a license. My name is registered on a state database and I put letters behind my signature. I’m an expert on shit.
