I think they should be taken down or taken over by another entity. They were launched under the premise they were a utility and it turns out they’re being used military.

I dont mean the internet access itself but the giving and striping of access to suit a military agenda goes beyond the pervue of an organization claiming to be an ISP or commercial utility.

Actually I respect it. Its easy to view this comment from her to be about Epstein when the article mentions him specifically, but a person’s career is more than the 1 bullet point people become known for. I didn’t follow his career so I dont really know.

I think everyone deserves representation in court, no matter how heinous they are. If they have a multi million dollar defense and still go to prision… that fucker is guilty. When they are stuck with some overworked public defender, it starts to raise doubts even when it would otherwise be an obvious case.

You’d be wrong. Apple and other fruit tarts may have been present in Europe, but a significant amount of American deserts originated with the Pennsylvania Deuch.

This comic is actually just bait though as is conflates “learned from” with “stolen” over and over again. Bigots dont have a problem with taking things they like from other cultures over centuries. They dont like people they see as different from them right now.

Adults have more agency than children. We know teachers will work for less because they do. We also know some adults take advantage of children, because they do. They arent related.

Teaching is a noble profession. People will do it for minimal compensation. “You can tell this by the way that it is.”

Trading your soul and being asked to commit atrocities on the cheap is a hard sell. They’ll need to pay them so well they are afraid to lose such a lucrative gig and will abandon their morals for it. A shit economy actually strengthens this effect further.

Winning is so key here. I’d be pretty furious if they got out and fought someone and got knocked out in the middle of my ride.

Job market is tough right now. Gotta advertise those carpentry skills!

Well yeah… the anti-christ has risen to power.

I was gonna say that it would only be unfortunate due to giving them a reason to attack Iran, but history has shown us that doesn’t matter. We’ll do that regardless. If we dont have a reason we’ve been happy to just make one up.

At this point its really just a matter of not wanting to actually fight America on the battlefield.

I’ve seen a bunch of his shorts and its obscene the things builders skip and then get furious about being called out on.

I wrote my congresswoman and told her she lost my vote over this.

He and his friends should do something about that.

They were invaded by 1 of the 2 nations that agreed to protect them if they disarmed. The US did not uphold its obligations 3 times in a row through multiple administration’s. The latest conflict in Ukraine is a result of actions taken by the USA, followed by inaction on our part.

If we didn’t request their disarmament, lie about protecting them, it would be a very different landscape there right now.

It isn’t solely the fault of the US, but we are major contributors.

You keep writing like they have them and thats why they are being attacked. Its specifically because they dont yet have them that they are being attacked. If they already had them like North Korea, their situation would be more similar. I doubt people would be bombing them, in the same way people aren’t bombing North Korea despite it acting very hostile and making direct threats.

North Korea has nukes and it never gets invaded and gets aid sent to it. Iran doesn’t have nukes and it is regularly attacked.

I’d say their presence adds very clear value to the example country that actually has them.

In this case, at least lately, it less a brush stroke and more of a high resolution camera.

Once you support extremists, the argument of nuance becomes almost irrelevant to the rest of their victims.

Naw, it was most commonly used as a term similar to “that chinese guy” which is easy to confuse with racism at a time period where people were generally racist towards the chinese, but the term itself is not racist. There were actual slurs back then they could use if they were about that.

My Grandmother said they always bought they’re vegetables growing up from the chinaman who rolled his cart through the alleyway behind their homes. It’s not a term of hate, but it’s easy to say hateful things alongside it.
