Greenland has an incredibly high proportion of indigenous, so not vikings. It also lacks much foliage at all, much less dense foliage. And it has a relatively tiny population.

That said, a war of raw imperial acquisition would launch the US into a civil war before a soldier set foot on Greenlandic soil i think. And, yes, I recognize that there is a base already there.

We have effectively always had an audit and accountability process for our agencies in the US, and I’d be willing to bet the same is true for you in Germany. The problem is that this is absolutely not that–it’s just raw oligarchic capture-- and the actual aforementioned historical processes are naturally slow, meticulous, complex, and not readily reported on because they provide little clickbait. If you haven’t already, I recommend you actually investigate into the internal review mechanisms that exist in your country.

People who are arrested are either charged with a crime or are presenting an immediate and reasonable threat. None of these are the case here. This was absolutely a violation of her due process. Thats without even getting to the issue of her visa revocation.

And if the rest of your community was in favor, you would accept that this is how the community has decided to do it and, ignoring all else, it is not an unreasonable, even if not preferable to you personally, system?

Interesting. So you might have some sort of adjudication function, and then a person advocating on behalf, and also a person advocating in opposition of the, let’s just call them “defending person,” and maybe you try to in that way recognize and account for the particularities of each individual’s circumstances and the thing that they’re accused of?

This is an absurd take. Under this “logic” there is literally no way to be anti-genocide. If you are elected, you cannot be anti-genocide because of some convoluted imputed condoning of state violence, so that leaves it to violent revolutionary change to fix the state, which is intrinsically a testament to “state violence” of it succeeds. Your urge to be cynical and lazy has lead you into a nihilist paradox and serves no value to anyone, including yourself.

I grew up in Milwaukee before moving to Boston. No, Boston is not even remotely the most racist city in America.

Yea, she’s just a comms person with no actual competencies or practical function. That said, her office number is public info on CBP’s site.

Seems like the CBP staff involved in this very clearly illegal deportation should be named and shamed. Boston is not the city to be pulling this shit in.

I wonder if part of this is because, especially if you living memory of the preceding monarchical period, presumably the last authoritarian was the one who opened up government to democratic practices, meaning they very well might have been atypically benevolent. That said, this could be completely nonsense. Literally just an avoiding-work-thought.

Greenland is one of the only (the only?) largely indigenous governed country (ish) in the world and one of its official languages alongside Danish is Greenlandic, an inuit language. So, yea, for some shitty old white American dude to continue to demand annexing this country is some fucking wild bullshit.

First, that article literally says the process engineering analysis that paints a very dire picture of the scalability of cultured meat is difficult to find, so maybe cool it on “you should have known better.” However, it also is clear that there are A LOT of technical hurdles to overcome for lab meat, but it’s no more dead end than fusion research. It’s an important, arguably vital, area of study and research that needs to be seriously invested in so that we can one day introduce it to the toolkit of sustainable support for human society and life. While your sources have convinced me that lab meat is currently nowhere near scalable and likely will take significant developments in the culture process and even meat cells, I think your aggressive and extremely skeptical take on its value at all is more than a bit silly.

They could also just…not invade other countries and return to their own?

He was VP. His espoused policy was effectively supporting Harris’. If you look at his record in MN and actually listen to his statements, his native policy positions become pretty clear. I don’t know when your day was, but people have been as politically illiterate as you since the fucking oongaboonga times.

No, i think I’m primarily going to blame the people who voted for Trump for Trump being elected.

Pretty active and critical of the administrations actions. People just don’t read anything but headlines and then only actually integrate into memory the negative ones conforming to their preferred world view.

Or is thrown a livestreamed surprise Mario party.

Seconding the other guy’s endorsement of the zflip. I got mine as a really cheap trade in upgrade thinking the folding was just a gimmick and now I’m pretty much always advocating for the thing. Hasn’t been any less durable than any other phone I’ve had and though there’s a very minor crease mostly from the protective panel, it’s never been an issue.

I don’t think Gillis is pro-Trump from clips I’ve seen over the last ~6 months? Maybe I’m wrong, but I get the impression he’s just deeply apathetic. Theo Von I honestly dunno–and I’m not entirely sure he knows because I think he’s just kind of dumb guy (but relatively aware of it, in contrast to Rogan).
