They’re Chinese Truths, which make them instantly suspect.

Quietly

One dollar for estrogen results in twenty new Undertale purchases. They’re practically printing money.

It’s Mad Max: Fury Road.

Safety isn’t the only priority.

• Be Unemployed

• Do literally anything

Fascist: “This is why you’re unemployed”

Eroding the essential humanity of the population you wish to eradicate so that you can come back in twenty years and write fascist pop psychology articles about how Arabs and Persians are heartless towards children.

You’re encouraged to have feels that include crossing your eyes and sticking out your tongue, but strictly prohibited from having feelings that remind anyone of your essential humanity, your precarious economic position, or the power imbalance [guilt-inducing] between yourself and your client.

And those exercises were in theory targeting terrorists.

Yeah, so were the current US attacks on fishing vessels in the Caribbean. Everyone’s a terrorist once the bomb hits.

And she was in the military long before Trump was president.

She served under famous peaceniks George Bush and Barack Obama.

Problem is property tax valuation ends up mixing up people just using their house as a place to live, and folks using it as a financial instrument.

Most tax districts have a “homestead exemption” which is limited to one home per homeowner. You can game this (spouses and children having property declared in their names, for instance). But - broadly speaking - the law does accommodate this exception.

The bigger problem is that our financial sector is so bloated with unspent cash and so hungry for ROI that our tax system isn’t a serious deterrent to landlordism and financialization of real estate.

ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: ‘They didn’t care’

Like, by all means, make the preparations you need to make. But don’t be fooled into thinking a thug with a gun will be deterred by a piece of paper when that thug has a quota to fill.

The US will backstop any of Musk’s losses through its functionally unlimited pocketbooks.

Iran’s attack on the Amazon data center was a strategic strike on a military installation used to coordinate offenses into Iranian territory. It won’t affect Bezos’s bottom line negatively. He may even come out ahead, depending on how the facility is insured.

It’s possible that Musk has similar facilities set up around the Middle East, particularly with regard to their Starlink network. But I would weigh the possibility that Musk’s shit is so foul that Iranians do more harm blowing it up than allowing the Americans to continue relying on it.

You’re literally in a world full of magic and fairies, but you aren’t willing to accept the Teleportation Stone destroys your body and then transports your ephemeral, eternal soul-essence, before reconstituting you into a new form?

She had nothing to do with what was happening in Somalia.

She mobilized to serve as the commanding officer, Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti in 2017, as Trump was ramping up military attacks along the Horn of Africa. She was promoted to Rear Admiral a year later. If she wasn’t involved in OEF-HOA there, nobody was.

I told you it was always about oil

More broadly, it is about western imperial expansion. Control of the Red Sea. Control of the Suez Canal. The ability to cut China and Russia off from international markets (specifically, trade with India and West Africa).

Oil was a big part of it, but not the whole.

It was always not only about israel colonial interests but also american imperialist interests

They’re joined at the hip.

It’ll be a clean, fast special operation that definitely won’t lead to a protracted ground war.
