“Lawless” in the sense that mining companies support them and are the ones laundering the products. It’s not like they’re smuggling manganese to U.S. addicts like fentanyl.

Having had them as an ISP monopoly, Comcast shouldn’t be allowed to own Comcast until they show they can do that without fucking it up.
They actually made the monopoly part I experienced illegal. I was in a city with multiple providers but Comcast was the “exclusive” provider for my apartment building because they bribed our landlord so they could charge residents more for shittier service. Everyone involved in that deal should be in Gitmo getting kicked in the dick every time they ask for a lawyer.
Thank you for the correction and extra info. It’s a ridiculous moral panic at any time but it’s even more ridiculous at an Olympics where no one is trans, everyone is a genetic outlier, and someone is actually doping.
She was suspended for naturally high testosterone levels by the IBA, a governing body that has since itself been suspended and had it’s recognition revoked due to corruption scandals. (Imagine what it takes for the famously corrupt IOC to say, “No, that’s too corrupt.”) No matter how you want to define gender, biological sex, identity, etc., she’s a woman. She’s just a freak athlete and that’s what the Olympics are about. No one would be all up in arms if her hands had a naturally high score on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. You’d put on your gloves and catch her topaz-hard hands.
It works because they’re fucking weird! There’s normal people who are Republican voters but the Republican Party is basically all weird people. If a motherfucker dresses like he’s in a barbershop quartet in high school or college, you know damn good and well what party they’re going to support (musical theater kids excluded, obviously). It’s not normal to call in the genital inspector and demand to see a youth sports participant’s crotch because they whooped your daughter in U-11 soccer. Ted Cruz is a Republican and he’s the weirdest person on Earth.
And that’s doubly true nowadays where you have to know extended lore from the Fox News extended universe to know what the fuck they’re even talking about.
Edit: And who the fuck makes Christmas cards where their whole family is holding guns? Plenty people treasure the second amendment and send normal fucking Christmas cards.
We’d all save a lot of time and confusion if people used specific terms instead of “Zionist” and “Zionism.” The word “Zionism” means so many things that it’s basically useless as a descriptive term.
Like, if you want a 2 state solution based on 1967 borders, you could be considered a Zionist because you support the existence of a Jewish homeland on the former British Mandate for Palestine. But young people — especially the college student protesters — seem to mostly use it to mean modern, expansionist Israel annexing land for settlements, keeping Palestinians stateless, etc. Someone born in 2004 doesn’t remember a time when Israel was facing existential threats. It’s always been a regional hegemon.
It’s also unfortunate how the term has been co-opted by Israeli fascists in much the same way American fascists co-opt words like “liberty” or “patriot” or whatever. The meaning of a word or symbol can change real quick if an extremist/terrorist group uses it.
I’m not defending JD Vance, famous couch fucker, but I have a Soviet hockey jersey because my friend’s little brother got hyper-nationalist for awhile and kept calling me a communist. So, I leaned into it just to fuck with him.
I also have an Arvydas Sabonis throwback jersey. If you can’t handle that, don’t come to my neighborhood court. Game recognize game regardless of political systems.
I thought we established that no one likes parents when DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince released “Parents Just Don’t Understand.”
Anecdotal but I feel like I’ve gotten worse at sniffing beehives.
Sorry, I was in a coma. I hope nothing bad happened after the 90’s. I’d hate to wake up in 2024 and learn basically everything is kind of shittier except portable music players and street food.
This is just my personal view but I don’t think we should have one Supreme Court. Every case should get a random assortment of 9 judges drawn from the several circuit courts and even the most minor of conflicts of interest should mean you’re ineligible for the random selection.
And if the downside of that is we get constant conflicting precedents due to ideological judges, then why have a Supreme Court at all? If it’s Calvinball anyway, just switch to a parliamentary system.
I thought it wasn’t Israel vs. Palestinians but Israel vs. Hamas? Did you just show the world your whole ass?
