  • Anyone who knows the guy on the left: "Hindenburg went out of his way to empower Hitler and the Nazis when it was clear that his coalition was failing. Instead of working with the Social Democrats, he empowered the Nazi. Without his choices, there's a chance that the Hitler wouldn't have come to power. He's an awful person."

    You: "so you think there's no difference between the two?!"

  • just to handle the processing of people as they complete the immigration process.

    United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) handles this. They and ICE were founded in 2002 along Customs and Border Patrol. ICE is the result of the merging of two separate enforcement agencies: part of the US Customs Services and the enforcement arm of the Immigration and Naturalization Services.

    Illegal entries caught within 100 miles of the border weren't classified as deportations until the George W. Bush administration. Obama was colloquially known as Deporter in Chief for these high numbers.

  • Start singing it with them. Do it sincerely. You'll either kill their joy or you two will have a moment.

  • your argument doesn't really disprove the topic of this discussion.

    Topic of Discussion

    I don't know if Stockholm Syndrome exists for hostages held at gunpoint.

    Stockholm syndrome doesn't require being held at gun point.

    The real issue is people behaving irrationally according to you. If you were in this situation, you would done the rational thing. Therefore, they must be irrational. They are, I'm part, to blame for their situation.

    But this is all predicted on your value system and not theirs. Stockholm syndrome doesn't take into account their story and what convinced them to behave the way they did. It a heavy hand that decontextualizes events and removes victims agency. Accounting for these may still reveal something worth addressing for a smaller subset of victims who are trauma bonded, but it should patiently and diligently center and empower the voices of victims and not dismiss them as irrational

  • Wonder how Andrew Yang is feeling today.

  • Puck from Gargoyles decided to mimic the most serious person he could find and serve a billionaire. All because he thought it would be hilarious. This is chaotic neutral. This continues to blow my mind.

  • There was a clickbait NY Post article that I'd never link to, this article (archive) is more even handed.

  • Requiem for a Dying Planet was the sound scape for Werner Herzog's Wild Blue Yonder. A brilliant film backed by this album, I feel that the album stands on its own.

    This recording brings together three very disparate elements into a synergistic whole. They are Ernst Reijseger’s cello, the choral singing of the Sardinian group Tenore e Cuncordu de Orosei and the soaring vocals of Senegalese singer Mola Sylla. Each is a singular expression of music from widely differing traditions; together, they’re indescribable.

    Requiem For a Dying Planet is not the anticipated death song for the earth, this music is dedicated to this wonderful planet and the beauty of living which could be heavenly if religions would not exist.”

  • Man... This one has lived rent free in my mind for almost thirty years. I had to read this and other German tales in German class.

  • Harris failed not because of her policies, but because she never was willing to sincerely differentiate herself from a Democratic party who continued to put themselves and their donors ahead of the average citizen.

    Trump blew up the Republican party and it was a breathe of fresh air for a Washington full of their own self interest.

    Its faaaaaar less about policies. It about an actual vision and authenticity. For as shitty as it is, Trump has this and Harris didn't. This is leverage.

    Edit: I wholly agree with the white supremecy undercurrent. But this isn't new.

  • 100% agree.

  • They want to win. They just don't want to have to change to do so.

  • If you think that's all of them then this is just silly. Or worse, lazy. Do politics.

  • It amazes me that these articles keep appearing and the Democrats are unable to leverage this into votes. Writing these people as stupid is useless. We still have to win elections with a large population of stupid people.

  • I am so in love with Notesnook. It's been about a week and I fell hard. Great UI. Encrypted. Cross platform. Loads quickly. I wish markdown was native and not a shortcut though.

  • Gonna play a game of comment roulette. How far do I have to scroll before I see someone say something like, "That can't be in their museum because they can't be trusted with it".

    Spinning the chamber now.

    Edit: turns out I wasn't prepared for what I saw. Now I sad.
