… has he never watched a flight tracker before? He thinks trans-oceanic flights just sort of drift off-course before winding up at their destination somehow?
We’ve been able to plot and then travel in straight lines since the Age of Sail…
Kinda interesting to see an English language political comic with an English mistake that no native speaker would ever make.
edit: No? You guys don’t find it interesting that people are influencing the politics of cultures whose language they don’t even speak proficiently? That’s interesting too.
Clearly you wouldn’t want gauntlets, as that would deprive the cat of his main weapons, but at least give him some vambraces or something. 7/10
Much more defensible during a zombie apocalypse. While the zombies probably wouldn’t be bringing 17th century cannons to bear against your walls, you’d still get superior firing angles for your defenders.
Let’s not ignore that there’s a real, policy-based disagreement here. Tech companies like to be able to import top talent from wherever they can get it (and are generally correct that this is overall beneficial), while white nationalists are dead set against the idea, as it strikes directly against the very core of their values.
It’s a legit disagreement, and pretty foundational.
That said, I do overall agree that we’re kinda beaten at the moment, and too busy licking our wounds and regrouping to care that much about this.
You know how you can put salt and pepper on most things? Salt comes from just about everywhere, but pepper does not.
I see a lot of parallels between this man and Trump, even up to the nature and level of support they got.
Some plastics are more stable than others. That said, we are admittedly far too lackadaisical with them in general.
To answer your direct question, we do have an FDA that does a passable job with some things, salmonella outbreaks, emergency vaccine development, stuff like that. There is probably some regulatory capture at play, though, where business interests get their people appointed into oversight roles. When a full half of our government is so vocally and rabidly pro-business, this is difficult to prevent in the long run.
Prob just a territory, really. Can’t be ruining our perfectly even 100 Senators.
Yeah, the Bible-thumpers claim to have the answers and want you to realize something too.
grapples with political turmoil and North Korean propaganda.
Y’know, of all the world’s countries, I would expect S Korea to be one of the most resistant to adversarial propaganda. I mean, here in the US we were largely insulated from it during the Cold War, so we didn’t really have the exposure and thus experience in dealing with it. But S Korea has always been in radio range of an adversary, so shouldn’t it be pretty well understood as “a thing” by the public at large?
Like, when someone knocks on my door and asks if I’d like to talk about Jesus, I understand exactly what is happening and why. We’re culturally familiar with that here. If a S Korean picks a pamphlet up off the ground and it’s obvious N Korean propaganda, do they have that same degree of cultural familiarity?
The comment I was replying to said the following:
For anyone wondering, this is what those staff ignored for two hours (WARNING: this may well trigger you, it sure as fuck ruined my day): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx4in4UpdWE
This video is 43 seconds long. You hear that sound out of a little kid’s leg, followed by the screaming for two hours, and don’t immediately call the ambulance, you’re not a reasonable adult. You’re an inhuman monster. Anyone saying “well maybe they thought he was just acting out” is ignoring the basic facts of the case so they can be contrary on the Internet.
This implies staff knowingly ignored a severe injury, which is what I find unlikely and wanted to get straight.
Agreed, mostly. My issue is with the assumption that the staff knowingly neglected a severe injury, which is what the other commenter was trying to imply for some reason. There’s just no way that ends well for them, in our country where people will chew out teachers for even giving a bad grade. The only way this strikes me as possible is the staff severely underestimating the child’s condition after a “slip and fall”.
Perhaps I don’t. Though I think each of your examples has systemic reasons that make it unique from this situation.
It’s a school, so there’s no capitalist profit incentive unlike a nursing home. These are not bystanders, but people with a specific responsibility towards this child, and again, no profit incentive.
In this case, the child has parents that will be expecting their kid back from school in one piece at the end of the day. There is no way in hell they could realistically get away with knowingly ignoring such a severe injury. Broken femurs, again, can kill you due to internal bleeding. Not the death of some elderly nursing home patient, the death of a child (who has parents) under your care in a place where children do not die very often.
I don’t see it as very likely.
So let me get this straight:
You think the staff heard something like this, and therefore knew that there was a severe injury, but just ignored it for some reason? Maybe they hated the child or something?
Even though they would most definitely get in deep trouble for ignoring what is actually a life threatening injury after anyone found out?
It’s a hardware intensive process that tries to make lighting as realistic as possible. So, which areas are illuminated, which are in shadow. From an artistic perspective, this is very important to how a user visually processes any particular image.
No, not really. Just better graphics.
wtf is Unilad?
Expanded and eased legal immigration pathways while still maintaining a stringent legal process. Properly funding DHS to handle increased migrant flows.
Next?
Yes, they’re talking about the volume encompassed by the event horizon.
Assuming this is the US, I doubt it’s that easy to land on any sort of watchlist. Unfortunately, paranoia doesn’t require any actual hard evidence.
