Engines have to be replaced after a decade or more, that's a huge expense that usually isn't worth the value of the vehicle. How is this any different?
I think a true unification defeats the purpose of federation. That said, I have been using Lemmy Handshake to sync my subscriptions between accounts. I generally use one account to login, but sometimes an instance has technical issues or content seems to be missing so I like having a backup option in a pinch.
Agreed. While on a rational level, I try not to be swayed by revenge, repeat criminals of violent crimes like this eventually get to a point where they are absolutely beyond redemption. Especially if they aren't caught until they've already lived most of their life, so even if there could be some kind of rehabilitation, that person's potential impact on society has already happened and was judged to be a net negative.
Beyond that, however, the biggest tragedy is not having a trial where at least some of the survivors might have gotten some form of finality. I hope they can get that out of his death and the knowledge he can no longer hurt anyone ever again.
Such a weird thing to volunteer, especially for someone that is supposedly a 'master negotiator'. The hook was set and line was being pulled back. The sell was done!
It might not be the #1 rule of sales, but pretty close to the top is "once you've closed the deal, stop talking".
The whole idea of the opposition not voting to keep the current Speaker being a "threat to the institution" is so absurd. The entire point of the Speaker of the House is to acknowledge that one group of representatives have decided to vote together on important issues, in other words it's the result of having a majority. If you can't do a simple thing like decide on a leader, are you really a majority?
Sounds like the Dems and the handful of GOP reps that voted to kick out the old Speaker should be treated as the new de facto majority, no?
Honest question, what structures or authorities exist outside of the city level to investigate something like this? Is it all down to what the mayor decides, or can the Kansas governor or state patrol launch an investigation? What about federal agencies like the FBI?
I could be misremembering, but from the original story it sounded like the mayor was likely tied up in the motivation for the original raid. Not surprising for a small town, really. Once you get down to a few hundred people, there's only so many businesses and families to go around.
Nobody has been rude in this thread as far as I've seen. The comment you replied to didn't say there was "something wrong with you", just disagreed in a very direct way.
I think you are putting more into certain words or expectations than actually exist, while also projecting your own assumptions in order to allow you to remain the underdog. Perhaps that is tied up with your conviction that performative niceness is very important.
I think Senators should yell at each other like they do in the UK and (I assume) Australia. Representatives can take it even further and have straight-up food fights.
Fake appeals to decorum and "dignity" went out the fucking window in 2016. Let's just be honest about where everyone stands and what they want. The genie ain't going back into the bottle!
“I learned to check party affiliations before you go on a date,” Boebert told TMZ
Doesn't this entirely invalidate the claims of people like Boebert that woke-ism ruins people's personalities and thought processes? Shouldn't she be able to see that this guy was a degenerate trans groomer or whatever without needing to know his "political affiliation"?
If not, perhaps the negative side effects of people-with-different-opinions is not actually a fatal condition, after all.
From the video lengths it looks like they do actual play, which has always been hard for me to get into. Is there a podcast equivalent or anyone that does edited versions?
I know this kind of thing isn't easy but it really shows how futile police are when one guy can manage to avoid 400 "trained professionals" who are spending all day and using modern tech to find him.
If someone is born in Gaza and wants to leave, you think they should be denied simply because of where they come from?
Not sure if you know this, but every single Palestinian is actually not an active member in Hamas.
