For anyone not familiar with how positions in Lebanon are traditionally chosen

Key points of the agreement stipulate that:

Lebanese Christians do not seek Western intervention, and accept that Lebanon had Arab features.

Lebanese Muslims abandon their aspirations to unite with Syria and the Arab World.

The President of the Republic and the Commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces must be Maronite Catholic.

The Prime Minister of the Republic must be a Sunni Muslim.

The Speaker of the Parliament must be a Shia Muslim.

The Deputy Speaker of the Parliament and the Deputy Prime Minister must be Greek Orthodox Christian.

The Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces must be a Druze.

There must be a ratio of 6:5 in favour of Christians to Muslims (and Druze) in the Lebanese Parliament.

Kiss your privacy goodbye when someone with these on looks at you if you're not wearing a mask, you've just been geolocated.

Also as soon as Apple copies this you are going to see them everywhere in the West, the only thing holding it back now is no one cares about a Meta product.

I think you can't really go wrong with trying ubuntu or linux mint. There are plenty of guides, most important thing is to back up your data in case you mess something up, you don't want to lose any files over a silly mistake.

Rick Scott champion of the people

The former hospital company CEO oversaw what was the biggest case of Medicare fraud at the time. Under his leadership, Columbia/HCA gave kickbacks to doctors to refer patients and then made patients’ conditions appear worse than they were so Medicare would pay more.

When Scott was forced out of the company as it was under investigation, he left with $300 million in stock, a $5.1 million severance, and a $950,000-per-year consulting contract for five years. The hospital, meanwhile, was fined $1.7 billion, the largest health care fraud settlement in history until that point.

I think they just plugged their ears and decided as a group that infact no one cared about this, you can be as delusional as you want if you only look at bad polling.

You gotta be a real sicko to have the substack app installed and on top of that have their push notifications enabled

It's amazing that "lifetime" positions are not considered controversial in and of themselves by most people.
