It can be ignored if your only priority is dunking on America. I feel sorry for this young person being made into the poster child for everyone who would like to take America down a peg. Even the concussions will somehow get attributed to “the way things are there.”
Anyone who has to wrap themselves in the flag is compensating for the fact that their politics are distinctly unamerican. MAGAt dipshits cannot tell the signifiers from the thing being signified.
I seriously believe that in an adult society you can set one or two historically damaging things aside from “freedom of speech.” I believe it was Trevor Noah who explained that when black people took back South Africa from its apartheid masters, they didn’t burn those people at the stake or prosecute them out of existence or even steal all their property. They just said you won’t be ruling this country like that anymore OH and that ONE WORD… you don’t get to say that ONE WORD ever again.
They even renamed hummus because people kept getting triggered.
I think she’s amazing and wish her nothing but luck.
I know that if she is spending money this way, she’s doing it on the up-and-up with only the right intentions.
But I can’t get over thinking that political campaigns doing charity work starts to resemble “a chicken in every pot” vote-buying. I would love it if someone who knows campaign finance law better than me could comment on the legality of it.
Imagine if now, at the height of their success, Apple finally decided, for the first time, to alienate the core audience they’ve always shown undying dedication to: gamers /s
Almost like attention from Trump is a total buzzkill.
That’s the thing about a pig. You wrestle with it, even if you win, you get dirty.
They probably don’t believe you because most of the time a 20% growth rate doesn’t just stay constant for a decade, allowing for such simplistic extrapolations. There are examples to the contrary. But a 20% growth rate means 750% growth over 10 years and that is a lot.
I would venture to guess that the disciplinary action generated more attention than the haka itself. So a good thing in the end.
Employee retention is not difficult right now. Hiring is on pause everywhere. Layoffs have been sweeping through over and over. It’s an employer’s market right now, through and through. Companies are looking for ways to get people to quit, not complaining about low retention.
quickly
That’s the problem. It wasn’t quick. If it had been released quickly and been a failure, that would be one thing. But to hype it and hype it and pre-sell it into new devices for 9 months only THEN to release a failure… now that’s fucked up. Apple hardware has been crushing it for years. Software is a mess. Services couldn’t piss themselves if their pants were on fire.
When has it ever been any better? There’s plenty we can say about class exploitation, racism, lack of healthcare for the poor, low wages, war… but was any part of that better in any other era of history? You could make a tenuous argument that some of these were marginally better a decade or three ago, but in the grand schemes of things, the only thing that’s gotten worse during our history is environmental devastation. And even on that score, we are rookies. The cyanobacteria fucked this ball of slime UP long before it was cool.
I’m not saying everything’s great. I’m saying it’s only been worse as you look back.
I usually agree but sometimes I think it’s a mistake to attribute any principle to them whatsoever. More and more I think the right wing has no actual center and is just an agglomeration of voters being swung around and manipulated by a random list of media and political hustlers. They’re a blob of chaos being goaded forward by this grifter and now that grifter. I’d like to believe there is any kind of guiding principle they have in mind but I don’t think there actually is any. They are so-and-so many asses braying toward so-and-so many dangled carrots.
AND the stock market ROARS BACK to… 80% of previous baseline. O the winning!
This points to a flaw in your question.
You probably should have said “foolproof countermeasure” if you really just wanted to remove nukes as a factor to see what happens.
But you said “foolproof deterrent” and now you’re quibbling at people over whether a psychological deterrent can actually be foolproof.
Maybe not, but then your question is nonsensical. The fact is that we are already using guaranteed total destruction of the world as a deterrent and it has so far worked. What more deterrence are you even suggesting we might add to that???
I mean… for now. How long until drones with thrusters on their backs can land on a missle and redirect it wherever they want?
Sometimes we ask questions to gain knowledge we simply haven’t found yet.
Other times we ask questions because some knowledge just won’t stick in our brains even when it’s given to us, and then we spend the thread fighting the answer for that same reason: it just won’t stick.
Anti-ballistic missile defense systems are a technology.
You asked what would happen. A treaty is a thing that can happen.
Why don’t you tell us what you think would happen and be done, if that’s what this is really about.
In all seriousness I wonder if GCal could schedule something this far in the future…
Spoken like someone who has never attended university. Please don’t come back and say you did - that would be even worse, because it will mean you didn’t learn a fucking thing by being there.
I may need you to walk me past my inhibitions about accepting scientific information from a website called PumpkinPerson that center justifies its articles.
