Trump called the Canadian prime minister a governor while threatening 100% tariffs and threatening to annex Greenland. The US government also did literally reach out to Albertan separatists.

The actions of the government you support and the supposed “consensus” you cite are opposed.

* focus locally; getting invoked with local politics by supporting local candidates with your time and effort - the state department runs programs to talk to city and state officials concerning foreign policy matters and city’s and local governments can create pressure on federal representatives from those states.

* vote with your wallet; boycotts and divestments are tools ordinary people have to effect conglomerates. Ensure your retirement money is not invested with companies engaging with the political ideas you do not agree with

* protest; attending in person events shows leaders numbers and images that are harder to ignore than their consultants’ polling data.

>voting American here

>have never heard of anything even remotely similar

And therein lies the problem. What the parent said is something the USA has practiced in dozens of countries. For just a single example, operation cyclone had the USA arming separatist militias to fight against the Soviet afghan government. You may be familiar with one of these militia members:

>the most well-known Arab financier and militant of the group during this period was Osama bin Laden, who would later found al-Qaeda and mastermind the September 11 attacks on the United States.

Do we have a highly competitive market? If so how do we measure that? If not how do we create one?

Ah yes three images from 2024 with red squares in them. Now it’s ok to kill civilians years later in different places!

Do you think the cost of evaluating replacements, agreeing on one, and switching all people and processes to this new tool would cost this startup more or less than 600$ this year? After how many years would that work break even at 600$/year?

I swag this work to take:

1 engineer 8 hours to honestly evaluate alternatives, their licenses, the likelihood they will move towards a similar model in the next ~3 years, number of stars on GitHub, etc

2+ engineers 2 hours to agree on the path forward

1 engineer 2 hours to implement to new solution

8 engineers 1 hour to switch to the new solution

1 engineer 1 hour to finalize the removal of the old solution

I’ll call it 24 hours of work total, how much are you paying your engineers? Let’s say an easy 100$/hr. At this rate, it would cost $2400 and take 4 years to break even on doing this work (assuming the new solution has feature parity at the old 12$/month rate)

If I was tailscale doing this math, I would bet your startup is not gunna do this work to migrate away from tailscale right now because of this price increase.

Isn’t that free market capitalism? We assume everyone will act in their own best interest and that this results in the most efficient allocation of resources.

Boiling legitimate criticism of the USA funding of Israel to “of course the Jews stole it” is intellectually dishonest.

“a real free market economy just hasn’t been tried” where have I heard that before?

Did you read my post? I didn’t ask for the USA to trade goods or services with Cuba. Certainly didn’t say anything about forcing such trade.

How would a country do business with Cuba?

They are debanked from the global financial system due to US sanctions on any business who trades with Cuba

They can’t trade in US dollars, the global currency that nations most typically use for international trade

They can’t follow normal shopping lanes because boats going to Cuba have to stay away from US ports for 180 days

Any company can be sued by any American alleging they have benefitted Cuba

Also, the United Nations has voted unanimously multiple times to drop the sanctions on Cuba- only USA and Israel vote no. To say that it’s a myth that Cuba has been adversely affected by the US actions is plainly stupid.

He was ruled by a court of law to have raped E Jean carol. You’re here complaining that a rapist isn’t being treated as well as you’d like.

Unfortunately for programmers, programmers aren’t doing the rewarding

The context being that you _knew_ the US is sabotaging Cuba right now, but still acted as if it was an outlandish assertion. It shows you are presenting arguments in bad faith.

This is an opinion piece from a writer who has only 1 other contribution to Al Jazeera. The writer, as stated in the piece, is a former US state department employee, so the pro-Israel stance is not surprising.

From “how is the us sabotaging Cuba?” To “but that just started” in one message. Fantastic stuff, hope you didn’t pay much for that law degree.

> 2019, the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute adopted an amendment to the definition of war crimes applicable in NIAC detailed in article 8(2)(e). The new article (8(2)(e)(xix) prohibits the intentional use of starvation of civilians as a method of warfare by depriving them of objects indispensable to their survival, including the deliberate prevention of relief.

Fuel for cooking food and providing heat is necessary for survival; deliberate prevention of this aid from reaching Cuba is a war crime.

What’s the use case of a flying bomb that can be mass produced at little cost in days to weeks instead of months to years? Yeah tough to say really.

A cruise missile is 3,000,000$ and a shahed drone is 50,000$ so if it’s even remotely the same capability it is an immense technological improvement over an expensive and slow to manufacture cruise missile.

Why not just sell the animals and offer her butchering services for free separate from any transaction?

> I like doing puzzles

Meaning you like to put the pieces in, or you like to figure out where they should go? To me that’s the crux of the article.

Why type so much with not a single drop of sourced information?

> Everyone seems to be an expert today.

> I'm not an expert. But

Is this post intended as a joke?

Are you suggesting the USA has not funded proxies?

Oh but please keep coming here to be a worthless racist who blames immigration for everything; you really make this site the shining beacon of hate and facist right wing ideology that people are proud of around here.

A bit ironic for a European to say Iran is trying to colonize the world.

I’m sure lots of surveillance was done, but ultimately they bombed the home of an 80-something year old man and he was at home and died. Seems like some wasted effort in hacking traffic cameras, spying on entire populations, etc for many years to just blow up the guys house; they’ll always try to sell you in the technology of obviously negative things being cool spy tech, but the reality continues to be that people are not that complex and dragnet surveillance is just dragnet surveillance and serves no better ultimate purpose.

What articles have said that ev maintenance is more expensive? I’m a former mechanic and have owned only EVs for 6+ years and have spent much less time/money on my EVs than on previous ICE vehicles, so I’m interested in what costs they had for the EVs.

An article about a blog post about an opinion piece all uncritically calling this a “study”.

The source of this anecdata is https://thehill.com/opinion/education/5446702-performative-v...

No information on who they surveyed, how they were selected, etc. The survey and results do not appear to be published in any scientific context.

Yet there’s people in here saying things like:

> This right here tells me everything I need to know about the people that support these views.

Really hard to reason about how to bring people back from this type of thinking.

By uncensored do you mean “openly slanted towards right wing politics”?

Plenty of models will tell you how to build bombs or whatever, especially local and non-American made models.

Only if we count them as deaths caused by communism, of course.
