What about haggling it down to every Russian in military service or currently participating in the industrial or logistical services that support the genocide effort against Ukraine? I understand the difficulties of widely assigning blame to a population, it clashes very heavily with my beliefs regarding a fair and open society. I personally worry that the price of our distaste for going “all-in” against the invasion, is paid by the victims of it. Are the Russian citizens living in the occupied territories and Russia proper also victims? They probably are, that’s a tier two issue though. It’s very similar to how there is value in understanding the causes behind a serial sex offender, abuse, untreated mental health issues, things like that. While there is value in trying to address those issues, the direct damage to society first has to be addressed.
Anyways, I’m rambling, but I guess my point is that everything within the reasonable boundaries of the generally accepted rules of war should be done to drive the occupation out of Ukraine, as the people there pay a daily price of murder, torture, rape, and actions of ethnic cleansing. After that, there’s a discussion of the degree to which brainwashed soldiers and civilians supporting those actions are culpable.
So this is really "silly season" when it comes to news and that apploes to political news like this.
The primary season hasnt even started and they're already saying trump has won. It's nonsense. People can build and lose momentum over the course of the race. All that's happened so far is the obvious challenger DeSantis has imploded. But it's a big race and anyone could gain attention and votes in the primarys.
Wenl just need to look back to previous races to see the bookies favourites not winning. Trump himself was an outside chance. Bill Clinton came back to win the nomination. The idea anyone has a clue what is going to happen in this race is nonsense.
The question to be asked though is is there anything Trump can realistically do to make him lose support among Republicans? Because it doesn't seem to be happening.
An the others in the field arent going to win anything at under 10%. Desantis is closes at 14% vs Trumps 50% so yah unless the devil shows up and runs, it aint happening...
I worked briefly in journalism (before going a completely different direction) for an Oregon newspaper and we were instructed to write at a 6th grade level. This was…20 years ago? I can’t imagine it has trended better.
While it was super obvious that it was aimed at the upcoming abortion vote I’d think it would be universally unpopular to more or less remove the ability to get grassroots proposals on a ballot.
But its prob more like the cat is out of the bag on abortion rights. We’ve had a generation of the freedom to get abortion care and its gotta be hard to follow through banning that option for yourself no matter how much you run your mouth about opposing it.
There’s guidelines, and according to the text above, the first movie followed them.
But someone has to apply the guidelines, and also what’s fine or not changes over time. Something being rated R is ultimately an opinion.
It’d be cool if there were actual standards, or at least an appeals process so a movie isn’t limited to just the first review if they feel it’s not accurate.
I’m not going to say this is nothing–because as the ban on tobacco and liquor advertising showed us, it’s not nothing --but is the best we can do banning firearm ads???
Would be much more helpful to target the source of violence. Individuals with a stable job, a family, and healthcare are significantly less likely to commit serious crimes like murder.
Our stance is that we prefer if people use other outlets if the same story is available elsewhere, although it isn’t outright blacklisted (at this time).
We skimmed this article and the article posted above from BBC, and they contain basically the same information so we are leaving it up as it seems this article wasn’t written in bad faith.
That said, we do understand that users do not want to click Fox News links and support them.
This is a constant talking point between the mods that is actively monitored and discussed on whether we should continue to allow it, but for the time being, we are just doing our best to encourage users to use other outlets and reading the articles and comparing them to what other outlets have reported to ensure they aren’t misleading or reporting incorrect information before we decide to leave it up.
A society where a store can sell $2k purses made in sweatshops by children in the 3rd world while its own veterans languish with addiction and PTSD problems brought on by the ever-more-unsustainable quest for cheap oil?
This doesn’t really effect Californians though, except that security guard, rip. The only people it effects is the owners of Nordstrom who lost $500 of stuff they bought from Vietnam.
This happens all over the country all the times I experienced it several times in 2004 to 2007 at one retail store.
In that case it was organized Columbia gangs associated with human trafficking, coyotes would bring people to America and then force them to shoplift. They all arrive at the same time in stolen cars. The car key is left on top of a wheel in the parking lot in case the driver is caught. There wasn’t a department store loss prevention employee in the Northeast that didn’t know about Columbians.
But hey if you’re gullible and love corporate media, do your thing. They never leak the videos of them doing wage theft.
The article calls this a “complaint” rather than a “lawsuit” so I guess this is moot.
The couple seems to think people have the right to foster by default, and the regulation sets out conditions for when this right can be revoked.
I’m not sure of the actual law, but it seems to me that the right to foster should be granted on a case by case basis. Regulation should set the necessary requirements, but the department should have the final say on the sufficient requirements. And the department should be allowed to revoke an application for any reason or even no (stated) reason.
Like, you shouldn’t just have the right to foster by default.
