In this case we’re creating all the social ills and costs that broken families entails, being monsters, and punishing frankly a minority of those that lack status. All for a bad policy. I mean, you yourself thought there was a pathway when we started this conversation because obviously that’s the most humane and sensible thing to do.
You need an immigrant visa to start getting a green card. Technically a green card is a visa, really. It’s a whole change of status thing that is quite Byzantine.
And in general, I do not see the punitive value of breaking up families. It’s like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
The system is unfortunate in that you can’t apply for legal status while you’re in the country illegally. Like you get married, you then have to leave the country and apply for a spouse visa from a consulate. Even if you leave, if you’ve been in the country out of status for over a year, you’re barred from getting a visa for 10 years(even as a spouse or parent). She likely had no legal path to stay with her family. It’s fucked.
Biden tried to do something about that and failed. https://www.npr.org/2024/11/08/g-s1-33370/judge-biden-program-immigrant-spouses-deportation

You really should’ve included that it was a UK article though.
Google fired a co-inventor of it.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timnit_Gebru
Following her departure, Google held a forum to discuss experiences with racism at the company, and employees reported to NBC News that half of it was spent discrediting Gebru, which they took as the company making an example of her for speaking out. The forum was followed up with a group psychotherapy session for Google’s Black employees with a licensed therapist, which the employees said was dismissive
It’s a real fucking laugh. It seems Google’s go to response to discrimination is to hire psychs to calm it’s employees. Real cyberpunk corpo shit. “Let’s fix your thinking.”

I’m actually really excited about the smuggling opportunities such a high tariff presents. It’s a real job creator. It’s been a long time since we’ve had major smuggling operations on the great lakes. Will be a big boom for Chicago too, since that’s the point where the smuggled goods get put on trains. Maybe even get the outfit back together.
The problem is, unlike homeopathy, this drug was ineffective for what it was approved for while actually causing side effects. At least the water doesn’t do anything.
Fucking finally.
Its the trolley problem, but you just walk away from both tracks and the lever, and then claim that you did not consciously act to cause any harm, therefore you are guiltless.
That’s the fucking point of the trolley problem. How can so many people get here and not fucking understand it’s supposed to present the dichotomy between utilitarianism and deontology. If you have a duty to not commit murder, and pulling a lever murders people, you can’t pull the lever. It’s a valid position.
If deontology is wrong, we should immediately round up every depressed person, kill them, and harvest their organs.
In many parts of the states they do because their insurance won’t cover them working on those bikes.
Stingy on letting you make your own vape but happy to let you stuff your lip with snus. Typical Sweden.
Most will not repair an ebikes outside of the brand they sell. I’d ask the shop first.
Can’t buy nicotine from the wholesalers anymore to do that in the US. Feds made it illegal.
You pretty much should only buy one from a shop that has a physical location near you and can do repairs. Like everybody around me sells Trek, so if I ever got one, it’d be a Trek with a Bosch motor. Bike shops will not repair ebikes they don’t sell, even though they’ll repair regular bikes. And neither Trek nor Bosch are going anywhere.
Won’t run on my 386? Well what good is it then.
I was thinking the catch here would be that these people were bribing their way into schools in order to teach their own weird religious creationism shit or anti LGBT whatever.
That’s not a catch. That would improve their hire rates for Texas school districts if they listed it on their resumes.
It’s a weird low angle shot. US open supposedly. He’s actually in Diddy’s shadow and since there’s no depth of field reference since the camera is looking up the lighting looks very strange.
Another from the same event
So it’s the person you’re suing. Essentially, it’s a civil case like a car accident, but you’re suing someone for going into the wrong bathroom. You’re guaranteed a $10k judgement but can get more for “emotional damages” if the judge is a particular bigot.
Edit: it also means you can blackmail a trans person for a settlement and that’s legal too, since the threat isn’t so much the criminal fine but the civil one
How are they making them? Just fuel reprocessing? You can make them pretty cheap as a side effect at scale of you want to. US can’t though.
