100% this. I’ve seen it plenty of times IRL, and publicly announcing this might as well be an announcement that American companies now MUST start not only paying bribes, but perceived “back pay” of bribes.

This will absolutely chase American companies out of places where they already had high business costs. There is absolutely zero political will in those places to forgo bribes in there interest of jobs, as the American companies will leave and get blamed for being poor at doing business.

You really should mentally prepare yourself for a deluxe nothingburger with cheese.

There’s a very, very good chance that the years of classification are entirely related to intelligence collection methods, specifically humint, that are basic techniques that remain in place today. And which will seem like nothing because so much had been leaked or dramatized, that these are not real secrets anymore for the average person who has seen a movie like the Bourne Identity.

I’ll bet you $5 that the nothingness of the final release will only fuel conspiracy theories that everything released was BS, simply because people have spent decades getting spun up and can’t imagine mundane explanations being all they get from it all.

Yeah, but other than a hybrid, fuel efficiency plateaued at some point before bells and whistles started being added to a surveillance system.

It all ends with him finding it, wedged under a broken glass pitcher. He cuts himself badly and because he owns the whole landfill, and is nuts, his phone is dead and he bleeds out before he can get help.

His name is Earl, but he goes by “Buddy.”

To clarify, nearly all of this food has already left the United States, except for 1 warehouse in Houston. It’s already been paid for, and as it sits, it costs money to store it.

This is like buying 3 dozen eggs from Whole Foods and setting them in the hot sun after you get home because you decided to punch yourself in the face until you passed out before putting them away.

It’s food purchased already from farmers. If it rots or not, it doesn’t affect Americans.

It does affect all the people who were already supposed to get it as food aid.

This is the way.

Ooooh, we do need a Eurovision community if we don’t have one already.

Edit: there’s one at [email protected]. I’ll see you there!

So, this was pushed for a while and was later discovered to be Chinese propaganda. But it holds water is the thing.

Breaking into smaller counties isn’t the solution because you lose economies of scale and inefficient trade. Which was why China pushed it, to leave themselves and the EU as the largest single economies in the world.

The real solution is to regionalize block of states and instead of having one head of state as President, a council of state like Switzerland with a rotating chair that functions as the ceremonial head of state.

But that would take a new constitution…

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. Short of real humans locking the doors, just keep showing up.

Doors locked? Work from home.

No system access? OK, well you’re not on paid leave, so does someone preventing you from earning an income have legal authority to do that? Sounds like a lovely lawsuit.

Don’t just roll over and disappear, that’s giving them what they want.

Where it ends is a highly politicized FCC doing “investigations” into traditional media and levying massive fines intended to drag the companies to the ground.

The actually physical people that are supposed to be affected play a big role. Short of locking people our of a space and systems, if an EO declared an agency “closed” but a judge said “nope, do it legal-like,” people still showing up to work and expecting to get paid are all following the law.

They hoped to be able to just wish this all away because they hate doing the real work of governing.

While T and Vance like to talk big about this, they have fallen quite short of “crossing the Rubicon” and actually doing anything close to this.

A T45-appointed judge issued the Temporary Restraining Order for the USAID admin leave action, and if you read the ruling, the T47 team provides zero evidence, legal justification, or even coherent thought at any point. Their case was entirely “well…but we wanna.” And the judge’s ruling has made them take a step back and do thing the legal way.

T47 doesn’t have a solid partner in Congress due to a thin margin, so there’s no hope of them retroactively covering the legal aspects of hebbulldozes a mess. The courts still haven’t given him freedom to do everything he wants, and for now his people are actually listening to that.

I’m actually thrilled that they’ve managed to ringfence themselves off into an increasingly toxic cesspool.

Now we just need to get the people that write articles like this is correctly add that context and say “10 hilarious ways X users whine about Superbowl Halftime Show. Number 4 will make you piss yourself laughing.”

Yeah, I mean, I would love more open source options, but Llama has a lot of research pushing it forward.

Used Mistral a few times via Duck.ai. it’s barely OK.

More so that my phone barely speaks English and I was out dong other stuff and didn’t double check before hitting send.

This is so disconnected from the Afrikaners that they have largely rejected it.

They want the land. That’s the point. It’s a multi-generational fight to hold the land.

It’s a lesson that should be learned about Gaza. It’s not about quality of life, it’s about the 3 most important points of any real estate deal: location, location, location.
