The sheer scale of a trillion dollars can be hard to comprehend. Let me put it in perspective. You would be able to buy 42 miles of high speed rail in California with that much money.

The sheer scale of a trillion dollars can be hard to comprehend. Let me put it in perspective. You would have to earn a dollar a year for a trillion years straight to have that much money.

The British don’t exist until it’s time to blame them for something in which case they are a clearly well defined group with attributes separating them from others

Bärbel, die Rettungsgasse ruft
Bärbel, der Motor wird so heiß
Bärbel, sie zieht an allen vorbei
Mit 180 durch die Notspur, yeah!
Die anderen stehen, sie fährt frei
Denn Regeln sind nur für das kleine Volk dabei…

🟥 W toku procesu wycieka coraz więcej szczegółów. Zabójca, Vickrum Digwa, zadzwonił na policje, a nie na pogotowie i skłamał, że to Henry go zaatakował, był pijany, obraził go rasistowsko i strącił mu turban.
Policja Hampshire przyjechała (trzy policjantki) i natychmiast zakuli Henry’ego w kajdanki, mimo że leżał w kałuży krwi z ranami kłutymi klatki piersiowej i nóg. Wielokrotnie powtarzał: „I’ve been stabbed” („Zostałem dźgnięty”), „I can’t breathe” („Nie mogę oddychać”). Na nagraniu z kamery osobistej słychać głos policjanta: „I don’t think you have, mate” („Nie sądzę, koleś”).
Policjant, który zakuł Henry’ego w kajdanki, śmiał się, gdy ten powiedział, że został dźgnięty. Potem wleczono go po żwirze i trzymano skutego, gdy się wykrwawiał. Dopiero gdy stracił przytomność, funkcjonariusze zdjęli kajdanki i zaczęli reanimację. Henry zmarł na miejscu.
Ponadto policja zabrała telefon Henry’ego i jego taty i przeczytała wszystkie wiadomości w poszukiwaniu rasistowskich komentarzy lub żartów.
Teraz policja z Hampshire wydała publiczne przeprosiny: „Przepraszamy, że Henry został zakuty i aresztowany w momencie, gdy tracił przytomność. Zostaliśmy okłamani przez sprawcę…” Mimo to ani sad, ani policja nie ujawniły dotąd nagrań z kamer.
Trwa dochodzenie IOPC (niezależny organ ds. skarg na policję). Wielu domaga się dymisji funkcjonariuszy, którzy byli na miejscu. Trzy policjantki podobno odeszły ze służby (niepotwierdzone).

My grandfather was a machine gunner in the 77th Inf Div on Okinawa, including at a place called Hacksaw Ridge.
He was not playing games for money. He was not a fungible GDP producer/consumer. His g-grandfather fought in the Civil War, & his g-g-g-grandfather fought in the American Revolution, trusting in God & keeping his powder dry.
You appear to have zero clue what a nation is, or what the load-bearing elements of it are which sustain the mystic chords of memory. But I do, & that's why that grandfather's face is my pfp.
If you bugmen had a lick of sense in your head, you'd stop going out of your way to make men like me angry. This place is the only home I have in this world. It is not your cheap trinket.
Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims' pride, motherfucker. Learn it.
Sports teams recruit the best of the best, globally, in order to win... the US should be no different.

"Urban planning nerds" shit on the suburbs for the same reason they shit on carrying firearms - they resent that Americans have found ways to evade their decreed punishment

This is intentional. The goal is to reinstate cancel culture by getting everyone doxxed. It's much easier to chill speech by making sure your boss and your bank know whenever you go against the narrative than trying to prosecute every thought crime.

“Nonjudgmentalism is not really nonjudgmental. It is the judgment that... everything is the same, nothing is better. This is as barbaric and untruthful a doctrine as has yet emerged from the fertile mind of man.”

Indeed there is something ominous about it, absolutely, BUT I'm starting to mull over another theory too—specifically relating to the sense of how "rushed" multiple governments including the UK's have appeared in recent years. Labour most of all.
Ever since Brexit there's been a palpable sense that somehow someone somewhere is running out of time.
Sometimes it's ramming through assisted suicide. Sometimes it's a Digital ID. Sometimes it's abortion up-to-birth. Sometimes it's a million H1Bs here, there and everywhere. Sometimes it's Canada, sometimes it's Germany, sometimes it's Australia.
But the pattern is always the same: deeply, profoundly unpopular governments ramming through masses of unwanted legislation that they never campaigned on and was never in their electoral literature.
That's what I notice in the broader context of unloved regimes attempting to speedrun bad legislation through their respective parliaments.
VPNs are only one small part of the larger pattern.
There’s something ominous about the speed with which the entire world has marched to require identification on platforms and, as I expected, begin the process of banning anonymous VPNs.
