For sure. In that moment Gore was wrong, powerful, and inflexible. He wound up being more flexible than his Republican counterparts, but I think you're well within your rights to say they've never properly repented for those actions. They've mostly just kinda been like "its in the past, just let it be in the past" when it's like... Man, you were an arms dealer in the culture war. You got the power and the platform to combat climate change by harming queer, black, and queer and black kids.
i view it as everyone is wrong about shit sometimes. the real problems arise when you're wrong, powerful, and unwilling to be flexible
Rest area payphones. Its why most rest areas have a huge blown up atlas map these days
edit: and as a note, the death of the rest area payphone is a huge problem some places. you ever look at a coverage map for west virginia? you break down or get lost out there and you're totally fucked
The location of the target sends Russia and hopefully some of the Russian populace two messages:
- Ukraine has the technical capability to hit Moscow
- Ukraine chooses their targets based on tactical strategic value, not based on instilling terror
theres no reason not to
The second triangle is 5 on account of the black triangle on the inside and the compound triangle made up of all three smaller triangles and the fourth negative space triangle. I believe the formula for how many triangles is linear because each iteration of the fractal can be represented as scooping more negative space triangles from the existing set of triangles. Each iteration you scoop out the same number of black triangles as you had white triangles the previous iteration, creating two more white triangles for every white triangle you had before, and adding one more compound triangle.
The numbers we see though from each early iteration are as follows:
1 -> 5 -> 17 -> 53 -> 161
Which happens to conform with 3(n-1)+2
You right. Where was my religious fervor
Sh. Let people enjoy things
I want another iteration after this one, but if we get a next one it's almost certainly the final iteration. These posts were consistently getting upper 200s until the last one made it into the 400s. This tells me that people who were on the fence about this gave an up vote to keep it going one more time that hadn't been up voting it before. Maybe there's enough people who want to keep it going one more time to cross today's threshold, but I doubt people who weren't feeling this before are going to be converted and get us beyond 5x what people were voting on it before it got close to its natural ending point
The main concern is going to be hardware reliability from wear and tear. That's the value of buying refurbished, for which there are several reputable retailers online (some of which selling degoogled phones with their own OSes). On the software side, since I'm presuming the focus of this discussion is installing grapheneos, its not really a concern since you're going to be reflashing the device
BRICS is more about resisting european hegemony to establish a new hegemony than anything. As a unit, sometimes they'll say something real as hell, but generally speaking 90% of what they do is the same evil backstabbing shit we always talk about the US doing to influence global economics and sustain power. When BRICS is taken into consideration with the G-7 what we actually see is a two party system of global torture that more than anything wants to maintain the basic status quo, they just want to shift slightly who's on top
The modern flat icons are actually… A little insidious in their conception. They're based on industrial psychology and mid-century modern propaganda. They make your phone just that bit more addictive. It's not someone convincing management it's a recreation of the Mona Lisa, it's management coming down to the graphics department and saying “You need to make it more addictive”
