I can see he's one of those live forever demons like Kissinger.

Resolve? The US is going to impose tariffs on Taiwan before China invades.

I think this is the point in the story where Elon will call them pedophiles.

Hopefully they listen to it...

The path to billionaire pockets is getting shorter for most properties. AirBnB allows it to pay for itself even faster than rental property, justofy its sitting empty status, and the semi-rich hosts often sell to these conglomerates as part of their retirement nest egg.

Well, she did look fine to most progressives when she directly supported medicare for all, to be fair. Israel was only committing an apartheid at the time, though. Also, she backtracked because she let other people control her campaign. Familiar...

Forgiveness is always possible, although if someone hits me with DARVO, I'm going to forever filter their behavior through a check before helping them. It's sorta amazing what we can go through and forgive after, but I guess the misnomer is that the apology is for them and not ourselves.

We would recommend sharing the paywalled link as the primary url and archive either in the comments or in description if an archive link is desired.

I also factor that in, but in cushy government, the benefits are usually in the 25k range. It doesn't scale endlessly with pay. Fed wouldn't be on the extreme end of that, in my experience, it gets larger the lower the agency. Could just be my state taking care of employees well though.

There are definitely more of them on Reddit, but I think new accounts there stand out more as an attempt to obfuscate prior intent since reddit has been around forever and lemmy still gets a lot of highly involved new users or people switching instances without intent to deceive. I'd be curious if an actual analysis shows a trend of soft introductions to soft on Russia sources using articles that don't mention Russia or Ukraine at all. Still, even if shown to be the primary technique, it's a hard sell to moderate based on articles that weren't linked, and certainly larger media corporations have a few crappy false articles a month as well, not even to mention opinion pieces.

His news sources are often the most leftist coated articles from the most tankie sources. I feel we should judge based on the articles shared rather than the sites he frequent, but it is worth keeping in mind the staff of their news orgs are extremely anti-nato and can't quite seem to condemn Putins aggression as fervantly as they condemn Europe arming itself in a defensive stance... but you'd only see that if you explored the sites' other takes than what's being shared here. Whether the goal is to soften people on these sources, idk, but it's not for a mod to say a factual article should be removed because other articles hosted there are more dubious. Just my 2c

 
 
 

Occasionally, on my daily walks, I see squirrels who aren't scared of humans and can catch detailed photos of them with only a smartphone. This one popped up from a dumpster to the ledge and seemed much more interested in eating than running.

 

This article is likely to become more and more relevant, but I wanted to highlight many of these heroes for a central theme, which is that not a single one of these people said, "I will not comply" to make themselves a target. They kept their power and used it to save thousands, or they forged documents or narratives through a normal process without drawing unnecessary attention to themselves.
