Everyone knows it’s impossible for the NSA to buy rack space in Bulgaria, where they literally don’t have to deal with any US legal process.
It’s also impossible for the NSA to market such a service via pop-privacy blogs and social media profiles.
The funny part about this is that the Snowden leaks showed that the NSA actually put a lot of effort into doing shit like this specifically to avoid all the paperwork which came with accidentally collecting data from US citizens. Keeping the data and analysis off shore means no pesky FISA paperwork.
The idea was that the Saudis and Russians pump money into the stock to keep the price propped up until Donny can cash out, but that only works if you have enough cash to backfill the volume ratio as needed. It would work a lot better if they could have been quieter about it, but Trump basically makes billions as long as the price doesn’t actually go to zero since his shares are grants for using his “brand.”
It’s not so much money laundering as a completely legal path for foreign agents to buy favors from a possible US President.
600k active accounts. Maybe half of them are real Americans.
So I guess that means Trump must have had a secret earpiece. Or maybe a vibrating butt plug.
Too many tourists just means you need to raise hotel prices. Locals don’t pay for hotels.
This shit has been the same cycle for literally centuries. When times are good, locals hate tourism. When times are bad, the locals wonder where all the tourists money went.
In these “tourist economy” areas it’s easy to miss the fact that even if you don’t directly work in the tourist industry, there’s a ton of infrastructure and services which get propped up by that industry. I’ve been on both sides of this, as a local and a tourist, and most of the whining is privileged elitism. Every local knows how to avoid tourists, and every local has also been frustrated by something being closed in the off season. Connect those dots and stop complaining.
In most cases if you are a tourist and are accused of minor crimes you just get deported unless you’ve done something else more serious. Detaining someone on a short term visa is awkward (what if their passport expires while in custody?) and kicking them out of the country accomplishes the same thing as jailing them.
There’s a reason why countries with proper transit infrastructure view alcoholism as a novelty.
Words cannot express how fucking weird this is.
As the movie industry discovered, it’s a dice roll in terms of pissing off the censors. Hard to invest millions when something as stupid as a map can get your game banned.
You should have only kicked out the Trumpists.
Any time you hear someone openly supporting Trump at work, make an anonymous report to HR. Make it everyone’s problem.
I have seen anime boobs in real life
Idk, those anime titties are kind of sus looking.
The biggest miss at the debate was Harris not reminding everyone how Trump was bullying the fed chair on Twitter when everyone said it was time to start raising interest rates.
In general, the distinction between populism and technocracy needs to be front and center. This is a very easy example.
Some of them are also “goldfish voters.” These people only engage with whatever political message has been delivered to them most recently. They literally can go from D to R and back again bumper sticker to bumper sticker.
Then there are the obligate ego independents. Their only political belief is that they must vote for both parties some of the time. If they voted D last time then they will probably vote R this time. Because their identity is “independent” so they must manifest that, all reason be damned.
Election 2024: High five vs kick in the nuts
This. I don’t know why people have such a hard time with the idea of sticking to curated spaces when they are at work or in public.
Right? What is even the claim supposed to be here? I watched the whole thing. At no point did either of the moderators stick their hand up Trump’s ass and work his mouth like a puppet
