You are incorrect on each of those. Vietnam was approved by Congress with the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (1964). Iraq was approved with the Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution (2002). Afghanistan was approved by the Congress Joint Resolution (2001).
Congressional approval is required for acts of war. I know the Republicans have Congress, but are they willing to go that far??
The wealthy overlords require a multitude of cheap labor to retain their wealth. That’s why they are so concerned about falling birth rates - listen to any of them talk about it, it has nothing to do with concern for the planet like any of the rest of us (less demand on resources that we are already depleting, etc), they are concerned about maintaining the current rates of production and labor if the next generations are smaller and smaller. Sure, Vance is talking about it from a “family values” perspective, because that’s a cloak he thinks his base will listen to, but listen to Musk talk about it, or any of the “pro-natalist” movement.
I’m making an educated guess that the 40,000 number is a complete exaggeration. That number is coming from Trump and Musk, not an actual spreadsheet or database. Look at by how much he exaggerated the square footage of his penthouse in Trump Tower, or the size of his crowd at his inauguration.
But it can dictate how federal agencies refer to geographic regions.
A private company or private citizen can do as it sees fits.
Didn’t this also happen on Reddit when people were posting the alternatives? Links/posts got removed, the subreddit about alternatives got shut down
For such a major claim by the accused and his lawyer, you’d think they would have an assessment by a psychiatrist or psychologist to diagnose Dissociative Identity Disorder and therefore would be noted in the article. Otherwise it would seem like he’s just using the commonly misused term as an excuse. But hey, I’m not a lawyer that leaves places open for the other side to poke holes, what do I know?
Do you have a balcony?
I freeze my scraps until I have enough to make vegetable or chicken broth/stock, and then after the broth I have a vermipost bin (worm bin) on my balcony. Since I’m in an apartment by myself, this is the easiest way. I give the worm tea and castings to my sister if I’ll be visiting her or to the community garden since there’s not enough light on my balcony to grow anything. This is my first time living somewhere with winter (I previously lived in warmer climates), so I did need to bring my worms in for the winter so they didn’t freeze (of you have extra space in a utility closet that could be a spot), and there was no smell as other had mentioned, as long as you don’t overwhelm them the worms do a good job of processing everything in a timely manner. Giving them crushed eggshells and coffee grounds really helps with this as well.
I’ve known friends that made a countertop sized worm bin with less worms and had no problem with it right in the kitchen of their small apartment.
I find this to be a breakdown of training, because the training was pretty clear years ago when I had clearance with the navy that we were never to use apps like this that could disclose location, not just while on-duty or on base, but at any time that our location could be given away. We were specifically not allowed to have Fitbits or other smart watches (Fitbit was the big one at the time) that could share location and any apps that wanted to know our location (yes, on our personal phones) needed to be cleared by IT because we were people that had been granted clearance and therefore could not give away critical location information.
The big scandal that got a lot of people into trouble was Pokemon Go, because not only did it use location, but I guess it used camera too? I didn’t know, I didn’t play it, but using cameras on base was a HUGE no-no, so using an app that shared location AND picture during your lunch break broke the brains of the COs.
It seems so weird to me that this is something that is so widespread right now. I didn’t work for the navy anymore and haven’t in a while, but I still follow the basic safety protocols about not sharing sensitive information.
There was a big push a few months ago, a year ago, who knows, Internet time is weird, when McDonald’s updated their terms of service on their app and added a clause like this. There were a lot of posts on social media, Reddit, fedi, etc to make sure people didn’t agree to the new terms or download the app if they never had it.
There are people that pay attention to it, and even research papers done on it. A lot of the common apps started doing it at the same time. Venmo has it, Pinterest, Facebook, etc. things you wouldn’t think of that would have cases like this. But certain ones stick out because of the seemingly more real world complications (I mean, venmo could have fraud, Facebook could have cyber bullying, etc), but McDonald’s could have health issues, Disney clearly this is the case.
Exactly! If I am calling customer support, it’s because I have exhausted all other options of finding a solution to my issue, and I have a feeling I’m searching more extensively than the options that this AI is being fed. If I’ve reached the point of calling, I need someone that can think of a creative solution.
Here’s a taste of the GOP view:
I used to be a government employee in the state of Florida (when Rick Scott was governor) as an environmental educator. One day, we received a memo that for all government employees the phrases “climate change”, “global warming”, and “sustainability” were now banned from our official duties. How was I supposed to teach about the environment in Florida without using those? I was still allowed to say “unusual weather event”.
I left this role, and Florida, and heard that this policy had been repealed.
Wouldn’t you know it, I heard from some of my colleagues still there that DeSantis just went ahead and did the same thing, while also making sure the new law impacts the energy grid.
So not only is their plan to ignore it - but they want to force no one else to talk about it either, or make any improvements on their own of their own volition.
Precisely. When there was a 10mph speed reduction for commercial vessels recommended in order to protect whales from vessels strikes (the actual cause of the deaths) and Congress had to hear arguments from various sides - suddenly all these people cared about was how much this was going to ruin their industry and they didn’t care at all that it was to protect whales.
If you already exist in the venn diagram that enjoys this post, I’m pretty sure this is what the Internet is for
