Trick question. Obviously you should be running a PVS 14 on an elbow mount. If you need a magnifier to shoot it then you're far enough away to kill it with the radio.
The footage of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, said one journalist, “shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.” ...
That's uhhh, not how that works. You can't hold ground with bombs and missiles. And the Army is absolutely capable of holding ground against bombs and missiles. Nukes are, obviously, another story.
I feel like this is one of those bell curve memes. At the start you see that it's publicly edited and you turn away. Then you see the extensive source citations and why not? Then you get involved in editing Wikipedia and you see what constitutes a "source" and what happens on the talk pages. And you're right back to not ever citing Wikipedia.
Seriously though, Wikipedia isn't going to be nearly in depth enough for any research paper worth a damn after you do your first couple. And that's because those are meant to teach you how to do research papers. Wikipedia isn't as bad as AI but anyone who's neck deep in a field will find problems with any Wikipedia page about their field. And it just gets worse the more politicized your field is. So the answer is as it always was. Go to the primary sources.
It's not an automatic denial either though. You can N/A those sections if you don't have the information. They may ask you to fill out an extra form but if you're an adult they may also just accept it if everything else is okay. What you shouldn't do is lie on the form. So don't N/A something where you do have the information.
Americans are not fans of centralized information on the population. It doesn't help that the corporate equivalent to Voldemort is trying to sell it as a means of "law and order". Something every American understands is meant to screw with us. Literally every time we give the government a new database they abuse it. The most recent is connecting a medical database to immigration enforcement.
So yeah. If we could stop electing people under the motto, "The Cruelty Is The Point", then we could have nice things.
Range anxiety. That's the word you're looking for and yeah, no clue why they didn't do gas-electric in the first place. It's not like the concept is unproven with trains and ships. It's like the companies actively didn't want to make the best combination until they had to.
Federal immigration agents tackled and arrested a Somali American man in Minneapolis on Tuesday and detained him for about two hours for no apparent reason other than his ethnicity. ...
Depends on how financially healthy the distillery is. A place that's really bad will convert to gin production. An okay, not great, place might sell some more younger stuff at a discount. And places that planned well will hold out for greater profit down the line by aging more stuff.
I read a news story about a guy who died from rabies after receiving a kidney transplant. Although nobody was aware when he died, the donor of the kidney had contracted rabies after being scratched by a skunk several weeks before he died and his organs were harvested. ...
US forces have seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, in a major escalation of Donald Trump’s four-month pressure campaign against the South American country’s dictator, Nicolás Maduro.
Fewer than 60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity, according to a report that argues global inequality has reached such extremes that urgent action has become essential. ...
We've seen them voluntarily do homeless stints. It's just not the same thing when you know you're going back to your mansion in a few weeks. Just fucking tax their wealth bracket out of existence.
That's because they left giant loopholes in those laws. Like allowing the ultra wealthy to remove their money from the country. They got that money because of the country, they don't get to then fuck off and take that wealth out of the country. They're free to leave, the majority of their wealth is not.
And poor nobles can cry me a river, sell the assets. Take the stocks too. The entire idea of shareholders running the company needs to die anyways.
The far more troubling problem to me is the division of wealth inside the countries. If we tackled that then there would also be a lot more money for the workers at the foreign owned factory in Hungary. You are right that the national income isn't the problem, but you're missing that the wealth gap in the wealthiest countries feeds the gap between countries and regions too.
Put the litmus test away. PPP is a real thing and pretending it isn't is not going to earn you any friends. A two bedroom condo in the US is easily 600,000 USD. The problem isn't the people trying to get off the rental treadmill it's the people making prices that high so we need high wages to live. In other words, the elite in the wealthiest countries are fucking everyone over, not just Panamanian farmers.
If you look at the polling on the universal policies then you'll see they very much do. It's hard not to be aware that you would starve if you didn't have a job.
Then the term definitely doesn't apply to the "professional" class in the US. You generally aren't hanging your own shingle until late in your career or if you came from money. Doctors are very much reliant on employers here and most of the West.
Sure, and what do you call a doctor without an employer?
Either rich or unemployed.
If they don't come from money then they aren't going to work for themselves until late in their career. Just like good trades people. Having toys doesn't mean shit if your existence is still predicated on employment.
Living inside the system is not consent to the system. Comparing doctors to cops is ridiculous. Cops entire reason for existence is to defend the system.
That increasingly means nothing. Remember that judge who was sending kids to reform camps for kickbacks? Part of that scheme was they literally made up charges. If the system says it's a charge and you need to be punished then that's what's going to happen. Juries aren't even a thing until you get to major felonies anymore so it's just whatever the judge lets the prosecutor get away with.
Rights must apply to all persons in the US. Or else the government may assign you to the non rights group at it's discretion. As an example, you're a citizen. The government says you are not. You try to go to court to prove it, but oops you don't have that right. Your family opens a court case, but they either get ruled to not have standing or they get swiftly assigned to the non rights group as well.
They have to "develop probable cause" to do more than check your ID but we've seen how easy that is over the years. At the end of the day they will make up the probable cause if they need to. But even more importantly this is the authority they're using to have Border Patrol conduct military style patrols in our cities.
Republican lawmakers have unveiled a bill to authorize $901 billion in military spending for the next fiscal year. House Speaker Mike Johnson says the National Defense Authorization Act would “ensure our military forces remain the most lethal in the world.”
This is one of many areas we have a false choice in. We can have party A spend 901 Billion or Party B spend 902 Billion. There is an out and good people are working on bringing up candidates outside the old system. But it will take time.
Record levels of military spending while the administration is openly blowing up the procurement process to grab fistfuls of cash from the procurement of stuff we neither want nor need.
I think that's easier than self investigation though. We can always fend that off by calling it whataboutism. In fact that's exactly how we handle calling out Chinese and Iranian abuses. Israel quite simply has a loyal voting block in the US that our politicians are afraid of. They don't run the country or any of that conspiracy crap but they are incredibly active in defending Israel.
