This may surprise you, but the ones that didn’t vote but could tacitly were fine with Trump as well.

They haven’t made you do that in while. There’s way too many foreign nationals in the U.S., it would be impossible, especially in a city. The standard is ongoing contact/close personal relationships. Having a one-off conversation with a Russian at a bar isn’t going to trigger the requirement unless there’s something suspicious about the conversation itself (like they keep asking about your job).

Alaska or Canada?

Just to be accurate, smoking weed doesn’t disqualify you from a clearance. It can, but it’s not automatic, and you might be okay depending on the job, clearance level, and time since you last did any illegal substance.

So it’s really just one party’s supporters make a false claim about the other party’s supporters so that they can justify doing the made up bad act as well, they do the bad act, and the party whose supporters did not commit that crime continue not committing that crime.

Impersonators, assuming you’re talking about the ones on the street, typically fall under parody and are therefore fair use. Some also do pay licensing fees for their portrayals. Just sort of depends on the situation.

Usually it’s the minimum amount of time for a crime to jump from misdemeanor to felony.

Well we don’t know, the case is ongoing. But it’ll probably go in her favor. Judges currently tend to dislike AI.

If they’re not in SAG and/or it’s not a SAG-covered field, then no.

It’s a more complicated version of that feature where Gmail offers suggested responses like “let me look into that” and “thank you.”

Trump has affirmatively said he will ensure Israel is able to do whatever it wants.

As we’ve recently found out in the last few years, conservative bastions are not as solidly red as we believe. If you’re a Democrat in Idaho, fucking vote Democratic. It matters.

Whereas, and forgive me if I’m mistakenly assuming you’re advocating not voting for Harris, your worldview is just defeating. Every candidate but Harris will ensure that Palestinian suffering increases. Not voting will deny Harris a vote, therefore necessarily increase the odds of someone else winning and Palestinian suffering increasing. Palestinians are saying to vote for Harris. Votjng for a third party (all choices there, by the way, either actively endorse Trump (RFK Jr.) or are funded by Russia (Stein) so supports the genocide of Ukrainians) remove a vote for Harris and increase the odds of Palestinian suffering increasing. There is no scenario where if you’re an American citizen you can be a neutral bystander.

At this point, if you don’t vote for Harris, you’re voting for ethnic cleansing and genocide, quite possibly at home as well as abroad.

Said it in another post, but my main reason for keeping NYT is for their war and science reporting. There’s only a handful of decent outfits to get quality reporting on global conflict: Bellingcat, NYT, and War Nerd, among others. NYT probably has the best funding so they have a pretty far reach. I can’t think of another outfit that is actively reporting on Sudan, Bangladesh, Côte d’Ivoire, Central America, and a whole host of other areas.

I don’t love the Times editorial/opinion boards but they’re hardly the same as WaPo and the L.A. Times. They also happen to be one of the only places to get decent coverage of global conflicts, along with Bellingcat and War Nerd. They should absolutely make significant changes in their, frankly, shit tier Gaza coverage. They’re also reporting on increasing attacks against the LGBTQ+ community in the Ivory Coast.

And secret prisons in Bangladesh, where prisoners are tortured and disappeared.

And (like everyone else) that Israel killed Lebanese journalists. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/25/world/middleeast/israel-strike-lebanon-journalists.html

They also featured firsthand accounts by doctors and a teacher of the horrors of IDF intentionally targeting children.

So yes, NYT has awful coverage of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. Institutions are complicated and agenda-driven. They also have better coverage of conflicts in the rest of the world than most news outlets.

They also, unlike the Post and L.A. Times, actually picked a side, which is what’s specifically relevant to this post.

It’s a sport where you can walk, talk, and do a sport. Decent way to get very moderate exercise while also doing work. I can see why it’s popular. My guess is most presidents (except Trump) who golf do so to get outside for a bit in a secluded area while working given the job is nonstop.

Attractiveness bias is a thing. In America, slim people are perceived as more attractive so tend to get treated more leniently.

Assuming we’re just talking about a kid being picky/fussy/cranky and there’s not some broader abuse or medical issue at play, then healthwise, sure. But there’s other factors at play. Kids need to eat to grow. You also want the kids to start embracing good habits and shying away from bad ones, which sometimes means doing things they don’t want to at times they don’t want to.

Kids also don’t always fully understand the signals their bodies are sending their brains and can get confused. So they actually are hungry, but their lack of energy and confusion (and just general preferences) mean saying they don’t want to eat. In a situation like that, having the kid skip a meal actually makes the problem worse. There’s other reasons too, but you get the idea.

The Halloween is inside the calendar!!!
