Both feel like extremely realistic portrayals of possible near futures.
Wouldn't even know where to begin. Suffice it to say I have a long history of seeing how Apple does things via selling their products in various places.
Is that even a question?
I doubt they even know, or care, where he is anymore.
Once they got him off that plane and into that prison, they stopped keeping track.
I'm going to be pedantic here, because it's sometimes my favourite thing to be. But "Vegan Meat" is an oxymoron.
Meat is specifically defined as the flesh or edible parts of animals.
These aren't Vegan Meat brands, they're Meat Substitute brands.
“Absolute truth no matter what” people are freakin exhausting.
They also don't exist outside of their own inflated egos.
It's almost comically easy to catch one of these "I always tell the truth" people in their hypocrisy.
Yes.
Anyone who says otherwise is (ironically) lying.
That's why privacy laws are so important and why the old "If you haven't done anything wrong, you shouldn't care about your data being collected by literally everyone" argument is bullshit. Because it's not about breaking the law, or lying about some big secret. It's about presenting to the world the you that you want to present to the world.
The most basic fundamental right is to be seen as we want to be seen.
Everyone...and I mean EVERYONE...has something that, if it were public, would change the way that others look at them. Maybe for the good, maybe for the worse. It doesn't matter. It could be that you're into midget porn. It could be that you anonymously donate a quarter of your paycheque to charity and you want it to remain anonymous for whatever reason. The point is, THAT IS YOUR RIGHT to keep that to yourself.
We get to show the world who we want them to see, either good or bad. And we all do it.
So yes, to circle back around. Anyone who says that they don't actively have any lies is lying.
The Donald Trump effect seems to be the opposite of what Far Right leaders were hoping for.
Every country other than the U.S has seen what Trump is doing and decided "fuck that...let's nip this shit in the bud before it can spread."

Canada's Pollievre has tanked in popularity.
-
France's LePen guilty of embezzlement.
-
Argentina's Meili blocked by the supreme court.
-
Far right, hateful politicians in Germany potentially barred from running for office.

Connor Macgregor in Ireland being told to fuck off.

Nigel Farage being treated like slightly more of am embarrasement than he usually is.
Around the world people look at the United States and say "keep that shit away from us by any means necessary"
Yes. But carefully. And with eyes wide open.
True. But I'm going to give America some credit here. When they came in, they came in hard. Two of the hardest beaches in Normandy with the highest losses of any allied force during the landings. Front line in pretty much every major engagement from the moment they entered. I am anti-american in general, and no...I don't think Germany would have won if they hadn't gotten involved (the soviets bought our victory at the cost of 11,000,000 casualties...)
They committed more troops than any other country except the soviet union and germany itself. I'll criticise a LOT of what the United States has become, but I would never ever in a million years claim that they had "barely taken any damage", and in fact kind of take offence to the statement even though I'm not American.
I could see Oregon and Washington State throwing in with Cali, giving all of them a direct line to nice fresh Canadian Rocky BC Springs because we up here in Canada would be an instant ally of any states that broke off.
I often make things like pancakes, or fried eggs with bacon for supper/dinner. My ex wife would look at me like I was crazy.
But I just asked her, what makes a breakfast food a "breakfast" food other than social convention? Eat whatever you want whenever you want. It's quite literally in the who cares category of let people live their lives.
