I agree with most that you said, except supporting Ukraine does not mean moving rightwing. Most western far right parties actually support Russia and are in turn supported by Russia, which actually makes it so that supporting Ukraine against Russian agression is explicitly not a rightwing thing to do.

What I find annoying about these memes is that it's always about how Germany killed 6 million Jews during ww2, while they actually killed 17 million ordinary people in ethnically motivated mass killings. That's 11 miillions victims of ethnic cleansing that seem to be forgotten.
Yes, that was what I was saying: We only know that that shadow is missing because we have the original image. If we wanted to give a doctored image to someone to mislead them, then we would not be giving the original for comparison.
The USA is a lot older than 70 years, so no the USA did not come of age in the jet era. It would be a lot more accurate to say that the modern USA came together in the age of trains, because it was trains that connected east + west together (+the bits in the middle). There used to be passenger trains between all major cities + many towns literally grew around the railways. That train infrastructure is still there, but now there are just very few passenger lines running on them.
Relative to rich people sailing on superyaghts (just to give an example), these rubber lovers are very small fries. Both are wasteful past times, but when looked at per person, there are way more polluting hobbies than going to car events. Taylor Swift going to meet her boyfriend is another famous example.
I think we couldn't know that that shadow is missing without seeing the original photo. So imo that's not a mistake.
There was a movie in the works once and when it fell through, the work done up to that point was used to create a cover story to rescue USA diplomats in Iran. And about that rescue they made a movie: Argo.
An example of ill intent on Microsoft's part: https://mashable.com/article/windows-10-upgrade-snafu-analysis
If you haven't used windows in years then you might not know how bad it has gotten, but ... it's bad. Windows update is not just for security updates, it's also there to change users default browser to edge, their search engine to bing, trick them into using onedrive (too bad if the synced files get corrupted), old features get disabled for no good reason, it hijacks other browsers to show messages and change browser settings, ...
All those things are definitely not for security, but rather a way for Microsoft managers to meet KPI, for example: they want more users of a new application, so they remove the old way of doing things and boom, their quarterly report looks prettier. And to top it all off Microsoft doesn't test updates properly anymore in house, so it's the customers who are life testing that shit. And because those users have to keep updating windows for security, Microsoft has them over a barrel.
It's been a while since I used chrome, but I used to use incognito to avoid that from happening. You can log into your services in the incognito session and when you're done and close the incognito session, the temporary folder with your session stuff will get deleted, leaving the normal chrome browser unaffected.
It sounds like republican* atheists are not allowed to make an honest oath. If you have to swear on something that you don't believe in, what value does that oath have?
- Not the usa party kind, but the ones who want an elected head of state instead of a hereditary one.
Except when it isn't. If the price of the locally fermented alcohol is lower than the price of imported methanol (not every country has a chemical industry and some of those countries have a really low GNP), then it's just not going to be the case. And since there have been methanol contaminations in such countries, we know with certainty that it isn't always caused by adding methanol.
Some scientists heard the same argument (that it was added methanol), thought that wouldn't always make sense and then did some research: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5028366/
"This study assessed some traditional fermented beverages and found that some beverages are prone to methanol contamination including cachaca, cholai, agave, arak, plum and grape wines."
Years ago I watched an episode of Joe Lycett protesting against a similar car park scam in the uk, I think it was at a McDonald's. That the same scams are still happening today must mean that they are an intended feature of uk society and that politicians are happy to just let these scams go on.
