Hey no problem! And I didn’t mean anything by it; my reply could have been read with snark included, and I definitely didn’t intend it. Good on you for taking breaks when you need to. You’re good people, and the world needs more of you.

All you have to do is think about this reasonably (I know, I know). Undocumented immigrants to the US want to come here so badly that they’re willing to do it outside of the law. They know full well that if they get caught just for that, they’re in a fuckload of trouble. It is clearly in the immediate, direct, and personal best interest of an undocumented immigrant to stay well clear of law enforcement. This means - wait for it - not breaking any other laws.

Undocumented immigrants have a very strong incentive to be absolutely well-behaved.

You shall not think of living things in hierarchical order (x is better than y)

Having to choose between my child and my dog would be a horrible choice to have to make, but I know exactly how I would make it.

Society and politics work only when people agree to abide by the same general set of rules. When a sufficient amount of sociopolitical power stop agreeing to rules, it all falls apart. Most importantly, that sufficient amount is not anywhere near a majority. A large enough minority behaving with disregard to existing rules and norms, and only in their own self-interest, will overwhelm the ability of the rest of us to manage a functioning society. Not only are the disregard of rules and selfish aims a threat, the unpredictability is, too.

The Palestinian Authority is a now pretty weak organization providing some autonomous rule in Gaza and the West Bank. Hamas is a very different group.

Driil, drill, drill?

In all fairness, they did whine first before ghosting.

Ashcroft: “Are you scared of the truth?”

Sanchez: “Oh, I am not terrified of the truth at all, seems like you might be.”

You need to watch those clips in the Xitter link. Sanchez is on fucking fire and does not let up.

They think they already understood.

What is this “Seedy Rom Drive”?

Although this is not going to work where you are at lemmy.world.

I was talking to a relative about Temu the other day, “How can they sell shit so cheap? Like, there’s got to be slavery involved somewhere.”

Because what two foreign powers decide to do is totally Biden’s responsibility?

That’s why I was confused - nobody said anything in this particular thread about Thinkpads, and you said “Wait till you hear where Lenovo came from” after I’d mentioned IBM.

If you were saying “Guess what, Lenovo came from IBM,” I’d essentially just said that.

I think you’re referring to IBM. Lenovo has always been suspicious.

I long for the days when this would have been the biggest story in US politics for weeks.

And you’re a lezbian to boot.

~9:00 in he starts talking about the national motto, in opposition to Marxism and Communism, “which begins with the premise that there is no god.”
