One important thing for people to think about right now is “what happens when other countries don’t accept deportees?”

They start to stack up. Housing, feeding, and guarding “dangerous undesirables” is expensive.

Surely, it would be patriotic to save your country money…

It might be too late. It might not, who’s to say. Videos from this weekend have a very familiar ring to them though.

I’m gonna be pedantic for just a sec cause I want to share my visualization with you:

Isle - small island

Aisle - row of shelves typically housing objects like groceries or books, etc.

That caused me to think about a small archipelago that could fit in a neighborhood that consisted of different ethnic or national peoples hawking foods. Like large swimming pools with floating stands manned by someone yelling “get your Twinkies here! Twinkies!”

I’m crying.

Is your upright the one with all the little compartments? That one looked to me like the most efficient upright design I’ve ever seen.

Even for debugging jtag is quite active. It can essentially (depending on the soc or micro you’re working with) override the device and force it into specific conditions or change register values.

Very useful.

I like propublica and democracy now, but when you start talking about foundations, it’s hard to know, they’re basically all funded at least at some point by a billionaire.

That’s kind of the thing that happens at least in the US, you either are big enough that some foundation gives you money, cause you actually need a lot of it to exist here, or you are so small that you can’t cover the kinds of stories the other guys can.

This system is designed such that journalism not ruined by the need to be profitable is relegated to the whims of patrons, much like art in feudal Europe.

That’s a very different calculation then! I can’t say I’d do it differently in your shoes. Godspeed.

So, do what you need to do for your family. But I’ll say this. I spent time looking into this last go round because I knew Biden was a temporary reprieve. I’m the parent of a trans kid, we did not leave the country for several reasons.

The entire western world is experiencing this dramatic rise in fascism. There’s no guarantee that you will actually avoid this long term.

Many countries (especially the UK) have draconian immigration rules, see above note about fascism.

We ultimately decided to move to a blue state, from a red one, primarily for safety reasons, and made it happen over a couple years. We are far happier in this situation and are now able to help extract other loved ones from similar situations.

Again, do what you need to do for yours and your family’s safety, but you’re in for a tough go of it regardless of what you choose.

ETA: I went as far as interviewing for some jobs in Canada after building my immigration profile and starting the job search in NZ.

Abracadabra… Allakhazam!

This flag has fringe on it, therefore all proceedings are null and void due to the fact that we are on land and not at sea, ipso facto, post mortem, carpe diem, and allahu akhbar.

The state and corporations will absolutely protect themselves with extreme violence.

Also, it’s nice to see a link to the anarchist library instead of Amazon.

I didn’t ask for your forgiveness. In fact, I may ring up Mariah this morning, just for this comment…

What kind of dragon are they?

Are they a chromatic dragon like Bezos or Musk?

Are they a metallic dragon like Swift?

Either way they still smash smallfolk, it’s a question of if it’s purposeful or not.

It’s enough to wipe out most people’s student loans, and buy a reliable vehicle, then put a down payment on a house. That’s life changing.

Threw rocks at stuff.

Trains, signs, each other,

Peed off of tall stuff.

Ride bikes.

Try to build ramps for the bikes.

Crash the bikes.

Ask your mom for a popsicle cause you have a fat lip now from hitting your face on your bikes handlebars.

Generally dumb things.

Freak out cause the kid s few doors down got his hands on some dry ice.

But the dry ice in bottles.

Run away when that nosy old lady calls the police cause people are “making bombs”

The real question is when they’re purchasing the child size targets.

This won’t have terrible consequences at all.

If someone doesn’t know what a fork and a light socket are and can’t otherwise deduce what they are based on context, maybe it makes sense to stick a fork in a light socket.

Once.

I’m not sure how quickly I’ll be able to get through this, but thanks for the link, this is really interesting.

Given the history of outside influences on Haiti, I’m not sure how much of this story I buy.

Could be “violent gangs” torching “civil society” for “their own benefit”.

Could be “revolutionaries” torching “an oppressive oligarchy” for “the benefit of working people”.

Both of them would be reported the same way in US, or European newspapers.

I’m just skeptical when I see “violent gangs” taking over public infrastructure and when one of the “first casualties” of a “bloody uprising” is the Prime Minister who is not in fact dead, just forced to resign and flee the country.

Gotta be able to boot Nazis. Otherwise it’ll be Nazi bar.

I feel like I’m not the one it’s bad for.

As a chiefs fan: see 2012. Not anointed, just incredibly lucky.
