I feel like this is kind of downplaying the fact that Japan is easily one of the most xenophobic countries in the world, with a healthy dose of racist as well. If you arent a born ethnically Japanese in Japan you can never be a citizen of Japan, only a national. This party has nothing to do with that being the case. Japan is just that kind of a country, and even more extreme than their fellow colonial powers in that regard. They just get a pass from the west for it because they are asian…

If he is so willing, Id be more than happy to direct the 8 credit card offers capital one sends me every week to his mailbox and away from mine. They must have killed at least two full trees by now sending me the same bullshit shit every week for years

The solution to all of this “think of the children” stuff is that devices owned/used by children should have to be registered as a child’s device, which would enable certain content blockers.

Forcing adults to verify their identity, rather than simply activating some broad based restrictions on devices being purchased for child use, is a waste of time. Kids will still find workarounds. Adult privacy will be compromised.

Its also an easily enforceable policy to require registration of children’s devices. You can hold the parents to compliance. You can hold the carriers to compliance. Its truly the simplest way to keep kids from accessing porn without having to mess with adult use of the internet whatsoever

Much like with a diddy party, part of the question then becomes “how many of them didnt attend a diddy party after dark because they knew what happened after dark?”. How many of these people might not have been molesters, but still knew about the shit that was going on? How many of them saw the underage girls around without actually being involved with them being there at all?

I work in a very affluent environment environment, and its a relatively open secret that 10-20 years ago it wasnt uncommon for adult house parties to knowingly invite local underage highschool girls (for what Im sure were not good reasons)

Immigrants (regardless of status) commit crimes like 17x less or something than born citizens. The worst they can do to a citizen is fine them or throw them in jail. Immigrants have bigger things to worry about

It is plenty possible for someone to have a kid at 16. How is 16 years younger than him not young enough to be his daughter?

I was thinking the same thing, considering that I have less money to pay to fly my price should be lower, no? But the article ends on this note:

Early research on personalized pricing isn’t favorable for the consumer. Consumer Watchdog found that the best deals were offered to the wealthiest customers—with the worst deals given to the poorest people, who are least likely to have other options.

So basically the opposite of what it should be. I wouldnt mind individualized pricing if it meant Delta was robinhooding with their pricing model, but instead they are effectively using their pricing model to force out poorer consumers. Which makes sense from their perspective I suppose considering they can upsell more shit to people with more money.

As someone who lives in a top-wealth zipcode (as a working class person) I assume by next year this means I will no longer be able to afford to fly out of town…

Its starting to make sense why the GOP was working to ban regulation on AI use. This shit is blatantly unethical

If you can dodge a bullet, you can dodge a ball

And only 4,200 of them will have panels falling off by the end of next quarter

If it was a bit under three consecutive minutes, it would be tough. If they had two removed periods of nearly 1:30 that is more than enough time for like 20 people to move without seeing it on camera. And when the cell is closed I assume we cant see anything inside the cell? Since it was supposed to have its own camera on the inside anyways

Most indoor cameras cover narrow enough spaces that a person could enter or exit it in like 1 second walking at an average pace

Under the law, the word “reasonable” is not the loophole that it looks like at first blush.

Reasonable suspicion requires some degree of concrete evidence, it just means it doesn’t have to be a smoking gun. For example, reasonable suspicion of stealing would be something like a person being in possession of an inexplicably large number of unopened electronics when there has just been a burglary of an electronics store nearby. They dont have to have you on camera recognizably stealing to arrest you in that circumstance.

Being black and in the vicinity of the robbed electronics store would not be something that “reasonable suspicion” covers under the law. This ruling is no different. It basically says that ICE cant just stop random brown people on the street, or conduct raids on random workplaces. They have to be looking for specific individuals for arguable reasons

No, Im saying you should fuck off because youre too lazy to neutrally asses information, and too pathetic to question your obviously understudied opinion. You made no real argument whatsoever originally other than saying Obama wasnt a neoliberal president, which is just baseless and stupid. You refuse to asses information from an article that well predates the Palestinian Genocide by a longshot and has nothing to do with the conflict whatsoever. Youre just outright ignorant quite frankly

Best of luck living with your head in the sand, Im done responding to someone who doesnt converse in good faith

Oh fuck off dude, youre pathetic and you know it. Go back to licking neoliberal boots

Lol dude. If you think my perspective is not sound and that Obama isnt a classic neoliberal politician then you need to study his presidency yourself. The only one here confused about what actually went down is you.

Here, have an article to get you started

Literally the only thing remotely distant from neoliberalism that Obama ever accomplished was Obamacare, and even then that was just a half-assed version of actual progressive policy like single payer healthcare or medicare for all. And the reasoning behind why we never got real progressive policy when they pushed Obamacare is because the DNC is a neoliberal party in sheeps clothing. Just as Obama was. Read a thing or two before you say dumb shit online. The democrats had full control of the government, they could have revolutionized our country just as magats are doing now, instead they barely accomplished anything. They didnt because theyre a bunch of neoliberal fuckers. Its factual, not subjective

“Anywhere Ive lived” is kind of an unnecessary qualifier when youre talking about 1/2 of what most people will make in their entire lifetime

Clues you in to who they consider “people” and who they consider wage slaves that exist for their benefit

The DNC is definitively a neoliberal party. Obama was one of the most neoliberal presidents we have ever had, as far as social attitudes go. He massively carried water for the whole “if I made it, anyone can” and “black people suffer from a culture of poverty” type of nonsense, both of which serve an agenda that is against providing social safety nets and actually helping people improve their lives. Neoliberalism is all about blaming individuals for the failures of government as a means to avoid bolstering social services

“Neoliberals have been run out of the DNC” is absolutely nonsense. Neoliberals running the DNC is 99.9% of the problem with the DNC today. Its the reason why true progressive politics fail so often

The biden administration was even kind enough to hire the most limp-dicked milquetoast individual in the entire country to lead the DoJ

They have an export market, its the handful of douchebags in Australia that want compensator trucks instead of a ute
