  • I'm not a fan of electoralism, but it's worth pointing out that ICE does not have the manpower to patrol every polling place. I don't think they could even cover every polling place in a large metropolitan area, let alone an entire state. They've only got like 10,000 guys. That's not that many in a country with over 300 million people.

  • Centrifuge.

  • Butlerian Jihad when?

  • It's definitely all three, but I just want to point out that Cuba I believe has more doctors per capita than any other country and sends medical aid all over the world. They developed their own Covid vaccine because they had no access to the others thanks to the blockade. It's not like they have nothing to offer.

  • I hope so. If they'd been able to keep the missiles the Soviets had stationed there, they wouldn't be in this mess.

  • It's probably going to come down to the lease terms. There's likely a mechanism to file some kind of complaint about this that would make the 3-days stop ticking, but I'm not a lawyer. If you can find a legal aid clinic, that's probably your best bet. Power-tripping landlords are the worst and I'm really sorry you're dealing with this.

  • Stems from medical misogyny dating back to the Victorian era. Birthing on one's back is easier for a doctor to observe, and obstetrics centers the doctor over the person actually giving birth. Everything to stick it to the midwives, who actually knew what they were doing.

  • Is this going to affect how redlib and other front-ends access reddit though?

  • There's already been documented instances of Zionists using other shell entities to launder their donations instead of giving through AIPAC. I only expect that to accelerate.

  • Mao, on the other hand only took up arms against Japan.

    An invading and occupying imperialist force that was busily conducting war crimes. How the hell did you expect China to aid the Western front, exactly? The West was content to let Japan do whatever it wanted to the rest of East Asia so long as they didn't attack their colonial holdings. Only then did they actually step in.

    Trotting out with the damn Molotrov-Ribbentrop Pact is old hat by this point, but now you're inventing new ways to be anticommunist. I'd almost be impressed if I weren't so thoroughly disgusted.

  • Unless they've changed dramatically, they're not new, just back in fashion. I remember those being around 20 years ago. Of course, they all had cables back then.

  • I'm really hoping I never have to do this, but congrats to you on figuring it out. I intend to keep my "dumb" appliances going as long as possible, but the unavoidable ones have me a little worried. I've seen HVAC filters with Bluetooth in them now for fuck's sake!

  • It's how it's marketed to the public, though I do not disagree.

  • Yes. I don't mean to throw shade on all that they are doing. I just don't think they're coming to save us and frankly, we shouldn't ask them to. If we can get to a point where a viable communist party is one faction of a civil war, perhaps they would render some form of aid, but we can't depend on that. We have to be willing and able to support ourselves.

  • I'm really curious as to whether this will impact the build out of the surveillance state, particularly in regards to Flock and other ALPRs. Or is a phone's location history somehow sacrosanct while an image on a camera is not?

  • Doubtful. All they have to do is cry "terrorism" and they're allowed to do whatever they want.

  • We can dream...

  • I'm feeling pretty justified in sticking with Wacom. I only replaced my first tablet because it had a 4:3 aspect ratio and a serial port. (I could've lived with the latter, but the aspect ratio was making things skewed on a modern display.)

  • Google doing the CIA's bidding as per usual. I'm glad it's an option for people outside the US.
