The video begins after the van has been pulled over and the border patrol had arrived. A female officer can be heard asking, in Spanish, whether anyone is in the country illegally. One of Laynez-Ambrosio’s friends answers that he is undocumented.
Everyone should know their rights. Don’t talk to cops. Don’t even open the windows enough to let them talk to passengers.
If you’re the sort of moron who sees conspiracies everywhere, then the conspiracy goes one way in the first part and a different way in the second part.
They literally see more women speaking out as more unlikely.
This makes me think that the Guinness Book of World Records should have a category for the stupidest thing ever said by a public figure.
Cardiac Arrest
Turns out all those times he was ripping his shirt off, it was just because of chest pains.
Wikipedia has an article about the embassy.
In 2020, the Prague city council renamed the plaza on which the embassy sits to Boris Nemtsov Square, after the Russian opposition politician who was murdered in 2015. In response, the embassy changed its official address to 36 Korunovační Street, the address of the embassy’s consular division, on the same property but with its address on the adjacent street. The embassy described Korunovační Street as “historical” and said “the probability of its renaming is much lower than that of the recently appeared ‘Boris Nemtsov square.’” Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, on 22 April 2022 the Prague city council also renamed a short stretch of Korunovační Street in front of the embassy to “Ukrajinských hrdinů” (in English: Ukrainian heroes), so the embassy’s address is now 6 Ukrajinských hrdinů.
It looks like the Prague city council’s biggest goal is to make it so that the address of the Russian embassy brings up something embarrassing. So, now if you want something delivered to the Russian Embassy, you have to send it to “6 Ukrainian heroes”.
As intended.
Yes. The secret to telling what a search engine wants you to do is whatever is on top of the search results.
You and I might scour the results to find the exact best results, but most people simply look at the very first thing they’re presented with and call it a day.
When I saw all of the search engines putting AI answers first, I knew they were intentionally trying to stop people from clicking through.
Exact same thing happened 8 years ago. It’s still shocking to me that Trump got even a single vote after his ridiculously poor performance last time.
I don’t think it would be a violation of her oath if Greene said something like, “AOC’s actions were unamerican,” or even, “AOC’s actions are not American.”
But even with this context, I think her saying that AOC “is not an American” is a violation of her oath. You might think, “Greene wouldn’t understand the difference,” but I think that language, as well as her insults, would not be allowed on the floor of congress, so we already have this requirement that they do understand a tiny bit of decorum. Why not expand it to all public statements?
Honestly, I don’t think it’s healthy to allow our politicians to lie at all. But that would be even harder to police.
That is a very serious issue. Most of the representatives, if they actually took their oath seriously, would be defending the Constitution. But they’re defending the major donors to their campaigns, instead.
Now, if I was in that position, I’d follow my oath, and inevitably lose the next time, because my donors would back somebody who would play ball. This conflict of interests means that our current system automatically-selects in favor of corrupt people who don’t care about their oaths.
So, I am sure you’re right that everybody, or virtually everybody, is an oath breaker. Only a small few can afford to refuse corporate money. We can never fix this problem unless we have significant campaign finance reform.
I try not to judge people unless they meet certain conditions.
For example, they’re well known public people like politicians or other celebrities.
Or I’ve observed them do something that I believe they must know is wrong if they are able to think rationally. (That category catches most people who argue with me online.)
But for buying something being boycotted, there’s a good chance they are unaware.
“The president was serious,” Leavitt told reporters Monday while answering questions on the White House driveway. “He seriously wants to distract you with culture war issues, rather than let you continue to focus on the countless crimes of pedophilia and child rape he’s committed in the past.”
I’m not going to read Marjorie Greene’s entire statement so I might theoretically be missing some context, but what does she say here? “Communists aren’t Americans and need to be locked up.”
That’s just McCarthyism. A bunch of nonsense we should have left behind.
Even if her accusations of communism were accurate, there isn’t anything in the Constitution that says people who identify as Communists cannot be American citizens. On the other hand, birthright citizenship is specifically granted in the 14th Amendment.
I truly, honestly, believe that a congressperson saying that AOC, who was born in NYC, isn’t American, is a violation of their oath of office. Marjorie Greene swore to defend the Constitution, and the Constitution couldn’t be any clearer about AOC’s citizenship. I also think that office holders who violate their oath of office should be removed from their office, and that it is the responsibility of other representatives to do so.
I remember the distinct feeling of hazing from my professors. You know, “The reason you have to suffer now is that I suffered when I went through the same thing. If we fix the problem and stop the suffering, then all of my suffering would be meaningless, and that wouldn’t feel fair to me.”
It would probably be quicker for you to look it up yourself because the answer is complicated to explain. But it’s an electromagnet made from superconducting materials, and that is why it seems to violate your common sense.
It has even happened to people who were known as strong swimmers.
Also from Wikipedia:
Although appearing to the naked eye as a single point of light, Polaris is a triple star system, composed of the primary, a yellow supergiant designated Polaris Aa, in orbit with a smaller companion, Polaris Ab; the pair is in a wider orbit with Polaris B. The outer pair AB were discovered in August 1779 by William Herschel, where the ‘A’ refers to what is now known to be the Aa/Ab pair.
I learned something new today. And if I’m reading the details section correctly, while the outer pair of stars are actually older than sharks, it’s the bright star that you can actually see that’s younger than sharks.
I suddenly feel something trickling down from above. Is this what they were talking about all these years? Is this a good thing? It smells bad, like really bad. Like somebody is cooking meth while they have a near fatal case of diarrhea. What am I supposed to do?
while the machine was running?
In an MRI, the magnet is always on, even when the machine isn’t running. You can’t ever go near it with metal on.
One person shouldn’t have the power to cut this much from a school’s budget, even the POTUS.
Although I expect Harvard to win this case, a lot of damage has already been done.
This is more politics than technology, but it’s good info for people living outside the US. You can’t trust your data to American companies no matter where they store the data.
