Yeah, look into the NY public funding going into ultra Orthodox schools. It’s depressing.

After the rumors of South Korea building tanks in eastern Europe, this move do be making sense. I wonder if NATO will ever expand to include Pacific partners?

If you want recs, I’d try different pharmacies and if you can different stimulants.

Yeah, this isn’t at all surprising. It’s not like they’re an organized military. With limited encrypted communications, it’s probably impossible for the Hamas leadership to keep track of what’s going on.

Is the cheese not getting melted? I’d say turn down the heat. Maybe put a lid on top? The Browning looks fantastic, a weight can help though to get it even better!

Can she afford to look into ADHD treatment? Does she have health insurance? IMO it’s totally worth it.

Yet the overwhelming majority of the time, they’ve committed a crime. There may be systematic issues in the justice system, and US that lead to the higher conviction rates/arrest rates, but we have the right to appeal, the right to representation, and our criminal justice system is regularly investigated and publicized.

On the flip side, on a mass scale in Xinjiang, people are being systematically targeted, sterilized, tortured, being forced to work, etc. solely because of their culture and skin color.

The two systems are very different. Two things can be bad, and one of those bad things can be substantially worse. It’s like wondering why Texas will execute a serial killer, but not someone who punched someone at a bar. Both things are bad, but the scale is completely different.

Having the red line as genocide, or as slavery from the buying and selling of people feels like a pretty safe line to have. Blocking goods is a very serious move in international relations.

The US justice system is not inherently racist, it’s systematically racist, which isn’t good, but is a different thing. Nearly every person in the US prison system is there because they committed a crime. The people in Xinjiang did nothing but have the wrong culture and skin color. It’s still a false equivalency.

Anyone can involve themselves and investigate the US court system, they can file complaints, they can sue for unfair treatment etc. International monitors are barred from Xinjiang.

Forcing prisoners to repay a debt to society through labor, and forcing the minority you’re actively genociding to produce goods feel like two very different things.

I strongly disagree with US prison labor, and our prison system’s focus on punishment and repayment rather than actually correcting the behaviors, but it’s legal by the US constitution.

The US DoL has an article on the situation with these laborers in China. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/against-their-will-the-situation-in-xinjiang

Oh, I hadn’t realized it was already being used. A million pounds every two days is a lot, so I’m surprised I hadn’t heard until now.

I always take my food as a suppository. Rectal taste buds hit different.

I’ll never understand why tankies defend a colonial imperialist oligarchy like Russia when it has nothing to do with socialism/communism.

How’d they find out the north Korea one?

Majora’s mask graphic novel seems to be coming along well!

They also cited Nicaragua’s recent push towards authoritarianism modeled after Putin’s regime, and how Russia can use this case as a propaganda talking point point to defend their genocide in Ukraine.

Not mentioned in the article was Nicaragua’s support of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, as well as Russia’s military and intelligence support of Nicaragua, which is also relevant information imo.

To me, it’s pretty clear that it would be to Ortega’s political advantage to continue to do as Putin asks. Even if Russia didn’t ask Ortega to file, it’s pretty obvious a dictator like him doesn’t care about Palestinians and is filing in bad faith to please Putin.

This looks like the cutscene for the boss fight in a game where you’ve spent the whole time fighting bugs.

Oh I was genuinely curious if people drive across Europe like this often.

Yeah, that makes sense to me!
