It reminds me of a fakedocumentary that the brazilian heiress of one of the largest companies in Brazil made about the impeachment of Roussef (from the left Worker's Party). The fiction was trying to link the military regime of the 60s-80s with the ousting of the corrupt left in Brazil.
Obviously her family's company was deeply implicated in the scandals, the largest corruption scheme uncovered in human history.
She digitally removed guns from a picture to make it seem like the communist insurgency were little angels ambushed and killed without mercy. And of course the fakedocumentary was on the short list of the "foreign doc" category in the Oscars because fuck pedowood commiefornia.
At the VERY LEAST they should say the photos were "digitally colored and smiles added".
You forgot the war with Russia, Iran and the packing of the SC.
That is not "the cops" thinking, that is one flavor of criminal philosophy. But not all judges think that way and there is still a difference between the so-called dolus malus ("hard" intent) and simply blame.
If you know that lending firearms is a crime and/or you know that your neighbor specifically didn't pass the background checks, you start to take some responsibility for whatever happens.
Japanese bento is traditionally well organized.
Cooking food for the family is white supremacy now. Because having a family, I guess, is.
Thomas and Alito don't deserve to be in such bad company.
Because there is not enough gold to buy and some people still don't want to rely on crypto.
The dollar is on a fast track to be worthless. Its only saving grace is that the other currencies are devaluing as well so in relative terms it doesn't look so shit.
Just appoint another 5 judges, so with 14 judges where 9 to 10 are hardline left, the votes will always go left.
Subtler ways would be to set limits (age or career) that renovate a good chunk of the court on the spot without increasing the number of judges (that is, just kicking a bunch out and putting a bunch of fanatics in).
Where does the batteries go on that tazer???
Would it even make sense to tase the suspect in that situation? I mean he could SLAM the pedal during the shock and cause an accident just the same, no?
Japan also has a "no fucks given" penal system too. It does look tough if we try to evaluate it through our western lenses (>99% conviction rate, ~2 months provisional prison time before first hearing, etc).
I didn't do the "purchasing power parity" conversion, I just did it the dumb BRL->USD.
Bear in mind labor and maybe even concrete or whatever is cheaper down here in South America. You've probably seen some of our "OSHA" material.
I live in that state and didn't know about it, holy shit.
They said it's gonna cost ~400k USD and the 22k people of the small town funded it with donations. Due later this year.
I'm pretty sure "manly man" is the only way to "dad".
Anything is "mom".
Ironically that is why is hard to make COVID vaccines. So large a number get well by themselves that it's hard to tell what efficacy a jab has...
I swear it was 39% a couple years ago...
Neoteny. Men select woman for big eyes because it resembles youth and the female's fertile period is more sensible to age.
Both. If they can tell that "that is a real woman" they admit such a thing exists and they will never be one. The alternative is just envy.
The purpose is different.
The Neuralink project's aim is to create a brain-machine-interface (BMI) to expand human's natural "bandwidth". Imagine having access to patriots.win anywhere anytime, accessing the content directly without the hurdle of screens or appliances such as keyboard and mouse.
Gates idea is to exert control and seal off society, Elysium style.
This is not "conservative voting policies".
Those are simply "not utter shit voting policies".
A conservative voting policy would be "no welfare recipients vote", "1 vote per household", "only adults with offspring vote" and so on.
Postmodernist language also serves to put invisible clothes on simple ideas and generate a subtype of language where they pretend that they are having meaningful discussions.
The more woke the "field" and weaker the results, the more obfuscatory the language must be to justify the waste of time of the "scientists".
At this point the next Trump campaign should be "dismantle the FBI".
This is a nice doc in which a guy travels through the whole border between them.
It's kinda weird to think that NK selects the most pretty girls around and send them to work as waitresses (...) in China. It's not a very clear relation. China enjoys the role of being the intermediary for all trading NK does, so that is a huge leverage, but China also resents that the NK internal propaganda plays down the help of the chinese forces during the Korean war.
There is a point in the doc where signs in chinese read not to feed the NKns on the other side, just like a zoo (about 5 mins in).
It's funny because it indeed made it economically impossible for the soviets to keep the occupation in Afghanistan. The cost of rocket didn't compare to the cost of the heli.
Problem is that when the soviets came in, all the men stayed behind to fight and all the women and children fled the country towards Pakistan. There the ISI funded (and indirectly set up) schools on the borders (the madrassas) which taught these particular countryless kids the most radical form of islam.
Then when the soviets heli were falling left and right they didn't simply give up on taking the mountainous terrain, they left the urban centers as well. Suddenly there was no government to govern Afghanistan without the russian help while those children educated in radical islam were now military age and returning to claim their country.
If the soviet invasion produced the countryless children students; the Stinger missiles expelled the soviets and produced the power vacuum; the radical youth came back and took the country like a mafia (hinterlands, then urban centers).
Taliban means "students".
So ugly it couldn't catch a cold.
