What is it, would you say… that… you do here?

Israel is conspicuously absent from that list, and they absolutely do try to influence our elections (see: AIPAC)

Blows me away that so many people ignore the unbelievable amount of influence AIPAC has, particularly in campaign season

Haha that’s silly why wo

In point of fact, an intervention in support of Israel would be destabilizing. Israel is warmongering like a motherfucker right now. They were before, too, but they especially are now.

And conversely, we’re still trying to babysit Ukraine’s efforts to stop Russia from attacking them.

The mental gymnastics are getting pretty difficult to ignore, tbh.

Madagascar has closed its ports

God I hope they crash and burn

Hey, here’s a thought: outside of banks holding the deed in the context of mortgages, corporations aren’t allowed to own residential properties for perma-renting purposes.

Yeah it feels like they’re about as common as Costcos these days

They’re not cheap, but I have been rocking lululemon boxer briefs since roughly when the pandemic started. They’re cut so that you’ll have a nice pocket for the old wedding tackle, and the fit is quite flattering (or so I have been told).

You can occasionally snipe discounts on their website, or find deals at outlet locations.

Lemmy is not your personal ChatGPT instance. Don’t treat it as such.

Buddy, for real, I really hope we do

It’s a “special military operation”. It’ll be over in 3 days, tops.

I’m just kinda angry about the absolutely glacial pace, tbh. The lead up to the invasion was a masterclass in geopolitics. And the initial weapons grants were great and quite effective in terms of what could be given quickly. But dear fucking christ the degree to which Biden is tying Ukraine’s hands behind their back with all the fucking restrictions makes me kinda sick.

It’s precisely because their working standards are absolutely absurd and unsustainable, so a LOT of people bail before full vesting. AMZN HR intentionally structures the vesting schedule like this because they have numbers to prove it works out in the company’s favor.

Real talk: I would be 100% ok with NATO IADS units being stationed outside of major Ukrainian metro areas and infrastructure sites (e.g. power plants, hospitals, etc). Russia would bitch and moan, but they won’t actually do anything. Not to mention, it would be a purely defensive deployment. But it would also free up a lot of Ukrainian assets for more aggressive action against Russia.

It says right on the tin. You really don’t want to drop it.

I read that as “lazy to the point of unprofessionalism”. I’m super lazy too, but it just means I try to automate the absolute shit out of everything I do to the greatest degree possible.
