If they did that they would have a lot more paperwork to forge. The U.S. was claiming that they were running cocaine, but there were reports after one of the bombings that a lot of weed washed up on shore. With a large part of the U.S. population believing weed shouldn’t be illegal, and clearly making it legal would take away any reason for someone to smuggle weed into our country selling the idea of attacking their country for it would have been harder. So they would have had to dispose of all the weed, bag up fake cocaine or acquire real cocaine and submit it all to evidence and fake all the paperwork.

Instead they just bomb them and don’t have to lie anymore, the evidence was supposed to gone and they could tell the media whatver story they wanted.

Pretty easy for them to claim. They went to war with Afghanistan with a deck of cards and Bin Laden as the Ace of Spades. 48/52 of those cards were executed or in custody.

This time Israel and the U.S. started the war by killing who they would claim is the Ace of Spades.

The U.S. isn’t going to try to colonize Iran, they could back out tomorrow and already call the war a win. They won’t though, because people aren’t the reason they are there, they are their to funnel money, and Israel is there so they can expand their borders, not into Iran, down through Gaza and into the West Bank, maybe part of Lebanon who knows what with Jordan… but when the Iran war ends they will hold more land and the world will say they lost.

It’s like if Russia and Ukraine reached peace tomorrow, people will say Russia lost because they dont control Ukraine. But Russia will have expanded its borders, and Ukraine would have shrunk a lot. Russia will have “won” all of that land, and wouldn’t give a shit that all those people died. (Because Putin got what he wanted, to keep appearing strong to his people, which he only cares about because it keeps his head on his neck, and stays rich beyond imagine)

From the GOPs point of view they won all of them. This war will be no different. The world will call it a loss because the U.S. won’t take control of Iran and hold it permanently, which the U.S. never has any intent of holding these countries permanently. They don’t care how many soldiers die, they don’t even really care who ends up controlling that area when they leave. Did they destabilize the region and get approval to funnel mass amounts of money into defense company contracts. Yes and yes. U.S. oil comes from the U.S. yet gas prices are rising in the U.S., why… Because wars with countries that control oil elsewhere help line the pockets of oil companies who fund these politicians campaigns. If you have oil, lift it at costs less than the U.S. and don’t have nuclear weapons, you are a target to exploit. It’ll raise costs for every working class sod in the world, but they couldn’t give a shit about us. They are winning. We are losing.

I had a talk with God last night, he told me every church that accepts donations or makes money should be burned to the ground and those who preach there are all heretics

damn, I knew there was an alterior motive to the knee pads, no one liked those things.

Yeah meanwhile I was over in the corner trying to figure out how all my laces are tangled in the Velcro of my roller blades. I swear whoever designed Velcro and laces to exist on the same contraption was just trying to be a dick

Yo we almost there

So many pedestrians would be in trouble come Manhattan. The roads just not big enough for 5 of them

Not much, just the part where it helped clear small companies out of the market if their margins were thin and had to raise their prices they may have just went under in the last year. I wonder if companies that declared bankruptcy in the last 12 months can also start lawsuits separately

Imagine prescribing weight loss drugs to a meth addict to curb his addiction. Jeff’s over there walking out of the clinic like

/s, obviously if it helps that’s great but I’m still going to joke about it

Just give the researchers cocaine, then figure out how to ween them off. You can cut out the middleman who is you, by making yourself the addicts.

Is this not the way you wanted to accelerate the research?

I vote we give him 5 licenses and start cloning him.

I have to deduct a merit for myself, as I now see I spelled meritable with a typo.

They weren’t kidding when they said the photos were low resolution.

Honestly I find it worse if I say sir or ma’am or such and someone gets upset. “My mother was ma’am don’t call me that!”

For years I avoided TNT for just this reason, always figured it would explode my life

Someone could point out where I am wrong but essentially it is the same as a standard email in that there is a plain text copy stored in both the send and receive instance. Maybe it is easier to think of as just another comment where instead of @domain.xyz has read access, just the specified user@domain.xyz has read access. The server admins could still see them if they wanted to, just like Yahoo, Google, etc can in plain text (which is how SPAM filters often work, as in if the email was actually encrypted they wouldnt know the content inside it to try to filter it out.)

More end to end options are coming to the fediverse, (Matrix has been around, I saw something last week another was coming) but really most people don’t ever encrypt data they send to others, and don’t care usually.

See: Epsteins emails being accessible without decrypting anything. There were people who supposedly found his password in the released files, and just logged into outlook or whatever with it. End to end encryption should have required them to have s/mime (handshake performed) on that specific device to see the emails, so it would have all been garbledegook. Aka plaintext was stored on both server ends until deleted by the companies/users.

Which cleanup tool do you use, I’ve got 10 things flashing hundreds of dollars in subscriptions I’m fairly certain someone got access to all my accounts after the last person I called asked to do a screen share when he sent me a text saying all my photos would be deleted!?

The fact that 01/01/01 is old enough to rent a car without an issue now does make that date seem nice.

I think it is just supposed to be Samsung DeX

I consider my phone to be a PC, and my work phone not to be, because one is clearly a personal computer, and the other a work computer.
