Responsibility for thee, not for me.

President Joe Biden’s team is increasingly taking extraordinary steps to minimize disruptions from pro-Palestinian protests at his events by making them smaller, withholding their precise locations from the media and the public until he arrives, avoiding college campuses and, in at least one instance, considering hiring a private company to vet attendees.

First of all, this if for his campaign. Not Whitehouse briefings. At least the Dems at least treat the two differently.

Secondly, this is for disruptions to the campaign events, which you would expect it's the campaign job to control the narrative if events. It's one thing to say he's not listening, it's another to suggest they are ignoring it.

You guys do know Biden officially sent his top aides to Michigan to meet the American Muslim community, only to rejected a meeting by them? Look, I am all for not killing innocent, but if some are going to behave "it's my way or no deal" without even considering any discussion, that's just extremism talking.

If you don't know, US support to Israel is ridiculous over weighted. Part post WW2 reimagined world order, part middle east power projection, and part protecting religious holy land. For the past 20 years, I was always surprised how taboo it was to dare criticize Israel in US politics and media. There is a lot of inertia and vague "obligation" to support the survivors of Holocaust, no questions asked. Because the Jewish people survived the Nazi, and we fight Nazi. Simple, morally simple.

Ironically, the Nazi of today are at the fronts of Ukraine and they are in the US, but we ignore acknowledging the world has changed, and instead focus on "antisemitism" debate which I think is a bit out of fashion. Dare I say, the Israel government is walking down the extreme right, nationalism path. Acting in ways their people's history were so vehemently against.

And that's the crux of it. Muslim community are ignoring or saying you don't get credit for something happened a century ago, so today, Israel acting the bully when they can do so much better. While US and the West have ingrained and championed the saving of Jewish (from Nazi) was the right thing, why wouldn't we keep saving. And we all know how hard it is to change a long held belief.

Full disclosure, what I see as acceptable end game is US finally start winding down military support to Israel, even if we're are still publicly supporting them. Neither side likes that.

tl;dr - op news is about maintaining order at campaign events, headline is click-baity

tl;dr2 - sidetracked, the issue is about Israeli and Palestinine, which have their own perspective not easily changed.

Here's a link to the map from a different news source when it was proposed yesterday.

idk, it doesn't look as bad as i though it would.

 

The new map in New York, which will be at the center of the fight for the House majority, comes after Democrats rejected the lines drawn by a bipartisan committee.

This is going to hurt Biden's chances. Stop trying to help the American people you old fossil. Go back eating ice cream or something, surely that's won't be controversial.

Oh, so it's going to be (inflated) full price with permanent discount, and Wendy's gets to decide how much to discount based on need?

Lol. Fuck'em. It's just extra steps to raise prices.

Too bad US is a republic, not a democracy. The founding fathers never intended it. Right guys? /s

Two things that make Trump the worst and arguably traitor to the US. Just so you know where I stand.

  1. He literally try to overturn an election and remain king.

  2. He piled on $8,400,000,000,000 to national debt. $2.5T came from his stupid tax cut law, which were only off set in the billions of increased tariffs, and about $2.3 from discretionary spending increase, plain old Republicans in charge and spending out the wazzu. Saving the last one $3.6T for COVID relief and laws, which everyone and their grandma pointed out the potential for fraud and abuse, but no guard rails were put in place and DOJ is merely chasing back millions in peanuts only because some fraudster was too stupid to keep their mouths shut.

Circumventing the Constitution and exacerbating the wealth inequality, were real acts of degrading the US, and at best just not giving a damn about the American people. Compared to all the other crap he did that were more performative, while below the office if the President, these two things have long term effect of weakening the county that I love. He's the worst President and the modern Republicans are only in for themselves.

For the average Joe, economy doing well means the job market is healthy, robust in the aggregate. All this does is give you the leverage to renegotiate salary/benefits or change jobs.

Regardless how much money your boss makes, even if he makes tenfold from last year, he's not going to voluntarily increase your pay beyond annual adjustments.

At the end, you need to take the initiative to change your income.

 

PlayStation 5 shipments have begun to ramp up this year. Sony nearly hit 40 million consoles sold earlier this year and tripled the number of consoles it shipped from January to March 2023 at 6.3 million units. At the same time last year, it shipped just 2 million PlayStation 5 consoles.

 

The bill, sponsored by Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), would create a new agency called the Digital Consumer Protection Commission that would be empowered to go after giant tech firms for a slew of anti-competitive behaviors and failing to protect consumer privacy.

Currently, each thread has the "Activity" link that shows publicly everyone that upvoted/favorite a thread. This is counter norm to many coming from Reddit and newer folks that expected otherwise. I think hiding the list should be high priority in next feature update(removal?) to encourage frictionless upvoting behavior.

Case in point, NSFW threads are starting on kbin now, cross that with micro blogging that may involve people using real names, this creates unexpected personal preference being exposed.

As a option, Boost feature may still left to public view.

Anonymity is important. Let me know if I misunderstood how this works.

 

I'm pretty excited for this game. I don't have a PS5 yet, maybe this Christmas. But if you do, what better way to spend time in the world of Final Fantasy when it feels like the rest of the internet in down.
