In a just system there would be jail time (if found guilty). Barring that a modest fine. Say, $1T.

If the consensus is this lopsided I think it’s time to accept it. There are plenty of contrarian arguments, especially from oil companies who have a vested interest obviously) and they haven’t turned the consensus around despite their best

I do think there are plenty of religious people out there who minimize the ill effects of climate change, believing (hope against hope?) that God would never let mankind destroy itself. Good luck with that.

My takeaway is "blind nationalism is idiotic and self defeating", but I'm not British. Is that about Reform (the party)?

They're going to have another one soon: ads in maps. What a user experience disaster that will be all to make a few more dollars. I used to tout the superiority of Apple Maps to people by saying "And there no ads, so you can trust

Very much an aside, but I'm struck by IBM's consistent iconic design language. For me it harkens all the way back to the futuristic design in 2001: A Space Odyssey from 1968. But you can also see it in their old mainframe hardware

Maybe what I'm saying is that people shouldn't use cross-platform UI solutions. (write-once-suck-everywhere)

Does a native UI experience have no value these days? I mean--amazing achievement building an alternate GPU-accelerated UI framework from scratch, and I do love the responsiveness, but this leaves you with a non-native app that doesn't

protesting an idiotic war started for Israel is not supporting Iran. Seems obvious!

I didn’t see that. Is there a source? I saw Minnesota authorities investigated the business and didn’t find evidence of fraud. I did read there was some amount of fraud in state sponsored care programs but nothing extensive.

Looks like the judge I'm referring to is Collyer. Not quite a call for reform, but she did say the FBI is abusing the court. > Consequently, in an extraordinary public order on Tuesday, the secret court’s presiding judge, Rosemary C

i’m surprised it went anywhere even inside the government. and imagine all the cases we don’t know about. not only that but - someone in the Senate (Wyden?) recently said it’s worse than anyone thinks and people would be outraged - a judge

But what about the people who manage those funds' investments? To be clear: I think some of the "sentiment" is from "serious" investors who care about fundamentals.. so there's some pool of people betting again

I think it’s the other way around. Colonial powers ARE making money (minerals) so they don’t want it to stop.

And even he was saying Zionist things just a few years ago. He’s not a paragon of anti-Zionism but glad he’s moved on this. At least publicly.

Sure they do. But Zionists are the ones that profess that a Jewish-supremacist state is a good idea.

by nielsbot 6mo ago
What’s dishonest is your racist defense of a murderous and genocidal country that cynically uses Judaism as a shield for war crimes. You should really think deeply about how you’re conflating the Zionist state with the Jewish people… not su

The only way Zionism can be moral is if it abandons the idea of a Jewish supremacist nation.
