As far as I know, he’s the only rumored one who:

1. Has been convicted of sexual assault.

2. Admitted to sexually assaulting his wife, resulting in a centuries old loophole being closed in one of the world’s largest cities.

3. Bought an under 18 beauty pageant and then bragged about how he could go into the changing rooms to gawk at nude children even though they desperately tried to cover

It’s insane most people don’t see it.

Nah, they got a point:

, but the skills, and knowledge of how to make things.

Apple spent billions training Chinese workers how to do highly skilled manufacturing work for pennies and shitty hours with huge turnover rates. Remember the days of suicide nets in factories where the workers lived?

Apple viewed them as a disposible work force, they viewed it as job training.

They wash out, then get jobs doing the same things “the Apple method” for more pay and better conditions for a Chinese company.

Still not great pay, still not great conditions, but there’s an incentive there to work for a local company instead of Apple.

Over decades this has led to today where even if we tank our manufacturing away, that just makes manufacturing Chinese competitors even cheaper.

It has nothing to do with discoveries, it’s about a trained workforce with the infrastructure in place for them to work and a supply of the rare earth materials they need.

You go see a psychiatrist, who is trained and qualified to tell you your self diagnosed condition doesn’t exist.

They can probably do it in one appointment, but they might have to keep telling you over and over again before you listen

Superman fighting the klan didn’t work because adults laughed at their hand signs and shit that were disclosed…

It’s because it got a generation of kids to see the klan as the bad guys

If Superman hated you, how the fuck were you going to indoctrinate your kid into the klan?

That’s why they’re always bitching about media. The people doing it are ignorant, but the ones telling them what to be mad about it are picking logical targets to fufil longterm goals.

It’s why fighting fascism is like losing weight, you can’t reach a goal and stop giving a fuck, it’s a lifestyle.

I don’t know shit about Hawaii

My advice would be to ask more questions, and make less assumptions…

Especially when you’re assuming a disadvantages minority population gets fair treatment in an American judicial system…

It’s not subtle, and it’s definitely not a secret, why are you trying to form opinions on co.plex societal topics off a handful of social media comments?

It’s someone making a bunch of alts that look like the same name.

The way they’re up sizing there’ll be a lot of “slide” positions

Where each year you jump two levels, so 5, 7, 9 decent money

The advantage to taking the short term pay cut used to be stability, but that shits gone now

If I was kicking the shit out of a Mexican in the USA and calling them an immigrant, it would be a hate crime.

That analogy doesn’t really make sense…

Here’s a real life example of what I heard witness multiple fights out there:

Local vs local

You’re a bitch ass cuz

Local vs mainlander (regardless of race)

You’re a bitch ass haole

That’s it.

It ain’t deeper than a substitute for a word that denotes familiar relations…

You seem awfully desperate to find an example of white victimhood though

I was putting an edit in before I saw your reply.

But it’s just a stand in for when something like auntie/nephew/cousin/etc isn’t appropriate because the person isn’t native.

It’s not a racial slur. It’s just what they use for someone that isn’t family.

So it could 100% be coupled with insults at someone because of their race, but the word itself isn’t inherently racist.

Central to the case was the use of the word, “haole,” a Hawaiian word with meanings that include foreigner and white person. Dennis Kunzelman testified that the men called him “haole” in a derogatory way.

Attorneys for Aki and Alo-Kaonohi said it was not Kunzelman’s race that provoked them but his entitled and disrespectful attitude.

Yeah. That’s not a hate crime.

I’d get called a haole 5x walking two blocks to the beach. Especially in an area that’s still mostly native, they ain’t going to just jump to using the same words for you they use with lifelong members of the community.

You’re literally an outsider and need to make an effort to be welcomed into the community. Until then, you’re going to be called the word for outsider. Well, technically it means “soulless” but it’s not as bad as it sounds.

Edit:

To clarify like a lot of Asian communities a lot of importance is put on family units.

So amongst themselves, everyone is: auntie/uncle niece/nephew brother/sister/cuz

If you’re not part of their family group, they ain’t going to call you that.

You’re a “haole” and that’s all it means, one translation is just “not of the island”. It’s not automatically a bad thing, and rarely is.

But lots of haoles are dicks too. So sometimes you get checked to make sure you’re cool.

Thanks!

I threw an edit in

The same DNC that just ousted vice chair David Hogg

1. The reason was the prior DNC didn’t follow its own election rules.

2. Martin let a committee decide

3. The committee put it to a vote of all the members, the ones who had just elected Hogg, and they decided to redo the election.

4. Hogg decided to not run again despite every sign he would win. And instead said he was making a PAC

The DNC chair congratulated him almost immediately and called for the party to unite behind Mamdani:

“This is going to be a moment for the establishment, for a lot of the people who lined up behind Cuomo. It has to mean something to win the nomination,” she said.

"Democrats have spoken, they made a selection, and I would really, really hope that if he is facing headwinds from different directions, that the party would come together the same way I’ve seen the party come together over and over again when progressives need to say: ‘All right, let’s make sure that people turn out and vote for [someone] who wouldn’t have been our first choice.’”

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/zohran-mamdanis-rise-new-york-city-means-democratic-party-nationally-rcna214909

So yes, Bernie and the DNC agree, it’s fucking weird.

If there is another PUMA movement, this time it won’t have the backing of the DNC

Edit:

The original quote is proceeded by this:

Rupert told NBC News that after years and years of progressive Democrats being told to unite around the nominee when the establishment’s choice wins a primary, she hopes the party will do the same now that the shoe is on the other foot. She was heartened to see Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin’s quick congratulations for Mamdani on Tuesday night.

Yet the article doesn’t seem to mention what Ken had said, just her reference to his congratulations to Mamdani.

It threw me off and I thought it was Martin’s quote following it

Showerexistentialdreads

which assesses modern science’s ability to detect evidence of a prior advanced civilization,

We can’t, we know we can’t.

It doesn’t even take lizard people millions of years ago.

Past 50k years is a blank spot. Anatomically modern humans have been around for at least 300k years.

They say it took the ice age ending so we could have agriculture, but that ignores we had 3-4 ice age cycles before the last one where humans were running around. Plenty of time for agriculture each cycle.

Even then, during the last ice age the Sarah desert was a lush rain forest the entire time.

The modern timeline is very Euro-centric, which is an incredibly naive view considering the glaceriers from an ice age are basically a giant bulldozer that erases everything. It plows down mountains. Obviously we won’t find any evidence there, it keeps getting erased every ice age.

And the places around the equater that would have fostered large settlements, are under the ocean due to those glaciers melting.

Just like with everything else, it’s incredibly ignorant to think we know everything and there’s no missing pieces of the puzzle

As a violent psychopath once said:

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILLZqymJRZI

would remain in five or six million years if we all just vanish?

Literally nothing…

10-20k years left and the only thing left would be like Mount Rushmore and other giant stone monuments.

At 5-6 million years it would only be the layer of plastic in landfills from before bacteria evolved to break it down and nuclear test sites if the future society does isotope testing there. Both things that have much more logical explanations than an ancient civilization with no other evidence.

But if you are going to agree to bad employment contracts and let the business people screw you

Hold on, let me get my helmet …

Those 90 second pouches…

Like I said, start as simple as possible and build on it.

You don’t need to jump straight to cooking full meals.

Stuff like rice/beans with some sauce can be made in like 2 minutes. Like, with as much effort as ramen.

But that stuff will stay in your stomach and slowly get digested, so you’ll need less energy drinks at the end of the day.

But cooking is like anything, start out small and easy and then just slowly start adding stuff. Once doing the small things feels natural, add an extra step or two. Like just throwing a chicken breast in a pan.

Even if you used to be a good cook, it sounds like you need to go back to basics and work yourself up to the fancy stuff.

Phillips appeared confident that Democratic voters across the country would recoil from candidates like Mamdani—despite recent rallies in red districts where progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who both endorsed Mamdani, have drawn crowds of thousands of people in recent months during Sanders’ Fighting Oligarchy Tour.

The DNC is also hitting red/purple areas again instead of just using them to funnel donations to the DNC:

https://democrats.org/news/dnc-and-asdc-announces-organize-everywhere-win-anywhere-strategy-largest-ever-monthly-dnc-investment-into-democratic-state-and-territory-parties/

The only reason Republicans have a chance at House and Senate majorities, is we’ve spent well over a decade avoiding any fight we didn’t know for sure we could win.

That’s now longer the case since the neoliberals got the boot from DNC leadership.

That’s why we’re going to keep seeing articles like this where formerly powerful neoliberals are going to keep saying the party is fucking up. They desperately want to turn people away from the primaries even if it gives Republicans the general.
