Then not every person they want to deport gets deported.

That was simple, wasn’t it?

Depends on your definition of “population.”

In UAE and Qatar, the male citizens are generally happy.

Well, any game has at least two endings….

This is important. Learning involves change based on a balance of positive and negative feedback. Be comfortable making mistakes and learning not to repeat them in other contexts. Also learn how to use mistakes to improve on methods that didn’t seem like mistakes at the time.

This speedrun is 100% tool assisted.

“Oh yes, officer! This is my washer and dryer from home… I just felt like they needed a bit of fresh air!”

Well, you could argue that China already has the structure being described here. How does it work out there?

I was assuming a union system similar to what is currently used in the US. If it’s not democratic, you’re going to have other issues.

Of course, ranked choice could mitigate some of the issues, but you can’t get away from the power imbalance problem.

Yup.

Those unions would have elected union reps. They’d gain an immense amount of power, and anyone on the edge of society not in a union would lose their voice — stay at home parents, small business owners, etc.

Eventually the unions would gravitate to a party system, those parties would become bipolar, and world governments would become figureheads. Unions would begin to clash, eventually forming new political bodies along union lines. Union members would question why non-union members don’t have to pay dues, and a requirement would come about that when old enough to work, it would be mandatory for everyone to pick a union.

You can see where this is going.

The only reason unions work is that they pit the power of production against the power of military strength and control. Give the unions too much power, and their leadership becomes the thing they’ve fought to resist.

Charlie’s always known how to string words together in accurate but powerful ways.

On Reddit I have thousands of comments, over 240,000 karma, and I haven’t logged in in around two years.

But then, like with Lemmy, I picked my subreddits carefully and left when it seemed like they were being overrun with bots.

That’s because the Overton window has shifted.

In most of the Western world, mainstream Democrats (neoliberals etc) align with the far right political groups.

Generalized prejudice is a minor subset of that group, except where it spans the political landscape.

Can a dead person be deported or go to jail? Can they commit a crime?

Every single time Russia has announced a ceasefire since it became a nation in the 90s, that’s been so they can move their troops into better positions unhindered. Often it has been followed by a brutal attack that cares nothing about civilian or Russian casualties.

I’m sure Ukraine knows this already.

Foxes in places where they’re the alpha scavenger; raccoons where they are. What other top scavengers are there globally?

Threats and mixed messages? Is the US involved?

Yet.

Or, more precisely, judge says they’re not allowed to do it. There’s no actual blocking going on here.

So… Zoom went down because GoDaddy mistakenly started resolving the domain to 0.0.0.0? That’s what it sounds like….

In some cases, it’s people who’ve done the research and written the paper who then use an LLM to give it a final polish. Often, it’s people who are writing in a non-native language.

Doesn’t make it good or right, but adds some context.
