A Horse Named Stranger Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Give DMC a break here. Haven't you watched Gremlins? Don't you know what happens to them when you grade a Florida student after midnight? I have no idea either. In absence of an alternative theory (and since it's Florida), I just assume grading a Florida student after midnight turns those benign a young Floridians into Trump employees number x, y, z in a federal indictment. Clearly nobody wants or needs that. So let this man grade. See, I have your back here, bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMC Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 EVERY country that has achieved the ability to build a bomb has done so based on the justification it is their sovereign right to do so for their own self-defense. And..that's hard to argue against as the only government that's actually used nuclear weapons. It's frankly extraordinary non-proliferation was as successful as it was, but that's out the door now.

Centrist Simon Steele Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) On 3/13/2024 at 8:50 AM, Larry of the Lawn said: Yeah, that's awful. Nothing that horrific, but my little brother is 17 and it's been a nightmare trying to get him to unlearn a bunch of the shit pouring out of the right wing toxic masculinity Andrew Tate aligned crowd that he's come across through gaming and gaming discord. A big reason I chose to leave academia (aside from a huge pay increase) last year after getting my PhD was related to this. Back in 2019, I pitched to my committee (for a preliminary comp exam/dissertation proposal) the idea of researching how gamer culture is radicalizing young, white men. All they could hear were "video games." They literally said no, go do something with "veterans" (because I'm a vet). Within two years, this became a growing area of research. I remember one of my advisors brought it to me after hearing about it on a podcast saying, "That's kind of like your idea! Why didn't you do it?" This issue is pressing and at least is beginning to be researched.

Martell Spy Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Janitorial company hired minors to clean slaughterhouses, US Labor Dept. says https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/22/business/child-labor-slaughterhouses-labor-department/index.html Quote The U.S. Labor Department on Wednesday requested that a federal court issue a temporary injunction against Tennessee-based Fayette Janitorial Services after investigators found the company “employed children to clean and sanitize spaces and equipment during overnight shifts” in meat and poultry slaughtering establishments, according to a federal complaint. “Minors were used to clean dangerous kill floor equipment such as head splitters, jaw pullers, meat bandsaws, and neck clippers,” the Labor Department said in a news release Wednesday.

Like, I know you're being facetious, but come on. Honestly, nah... I don't think that changes anything. Why or whatfor is ultimately irrelevant. I'm in the now, and now calls for action to prevent this occurrence. Nobody wants to see Iran with the bomb, who cares what drove them to go after it. 10 hours ago, DMC said: EVERY country that has achieved the ability to build a bomb has done so based on the justification it is their sovereign right to do so for their own self-defense. And..that's hard to argue against as the only government that's actually used nuclear weapons. It's frankly extraordinary non-proliferation was as successful as it was, but that's out the door now. No way. No way can we just take our hands off the wheel and let the number of nuclear powers increase. It's not about being fair or even consistent- it's about not letting the global security situation become unmanageable. The idea that a state has a right to get the bomb is one that I have to combat. No, no, no. 8 hours ago, The Anti-Targ said: So basically no viable alternative to the Obama nuke deal, is what I'm seeing. So do nothing, and we're seeing what do nothing is doing. No, I laid out a little scenario that would be functional and even fashionable. Air enforcement. Sure, it's horrible. Lot of people would die... America would look a little evil for a while. But the upside is putting a cap on nuclear proliferation while demonstrating the capacities of American arms as we head into a second cold war with China. Also, we can finally start exploring ICBM interception capabilities and start producing them at scale. Once we have a way to keep drones equipped with anti-nuke methods in the air at all hours, at all places, then we can get in on the information war that China's kicking our asses at.

Martell Spy Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Johnson says he expects to take up Ukraine aid with Democratic votes He added in the interview that splitting Ukraine and Israel aid into two separate bills is “under consideration.” https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/14/mike-johnson-israel-ukraine-aid-bill-00147108 Quote Speaker Mike Johnson told POLITICO that he expects to pass a future Ukraine assistance bill with Democratic votes, an acknowledgment of the persistent resistance to any new aid within the GOP. Johnson said in a Thursday interview at the House Republican retreat that aid to both Ukraine and Israel could come up as one or even two separate bills. He said he anticipates it would happen using the House’s suspension calendar, which he’s used often in recent days to overcome pushback from his own party. “I think it is a stand-alone, and I suspect it will need to be on suspension,” Johnson said of foreign assistance. The Louisiana Republican added in clear terms that he sees no path to attaching the foreign aid to a larger spending bill to keep the government open. The suspension calendar requires a two-thirds majority to approve legislation on the House floor — meaning Johnson would need a substantial number of Democratic votes. He has taken that approach with many contentious measures so far in his speakership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
