a single example of a situation where the President would need to break the law in an official capacity.

I definitely don’t support the ruling but Obama has ordered drone strikes that killed children. Does that mean Obama should stand trial for murder? I think the idea is that the president is given the authority to do things most people can’t, and because of that, they can’t be held to the same standard as other people, at least while using that authority.

There really aught to be a line though. There can’t be blanket Immunity on every single presidental act no matter what. Ordering the assassination of the al-Qaeda leader and ordering the assassination of the Democrat leader should not be considered equal actions under the law. Trump is already arguing that his conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results was an official action of the president. There’s no way that should be considered valid.

It’s known as surplus value. The amount of value created by a worker beyond what they’ve been paid to create it.

If a worker is paid $10 an hour and produces $100 of value in that hour then they have created surplus value of $90. Surplus value is kept by the company as profit. Socialists argue the amount of surplus value taken by companies has grown exponentially since the industrial revolution where a single worker could produce massive amounts of value in a small amount of time. Wages have not increased to compensate for the massive increase in surplus value.

You can find a prostitute to have sex with you for less than the price of Baldur’s Gate 3 and, unlike Baldur’s Gate 3, sex hasn’t even won Game of The Year.

If you made $0.1 for every $1 Amazon made you’d have $28,100,000,000 dollars a year.

Maybe this is the difference between American and Canadian politics? In Canada, it isn’t unusual for a Prime Minister to step down and another person gets selected as Prime Minister. Not voted, selected, by the party in power. Biden would have been rotated with someone else by now.

During Brexit, that happened 4 times in a row! David Cameron stepped down and Theresa May took his place. She stepped down and Boris Johnson took her place. He stepped down and Liz Truss took his place, she stepped down (after just 40 days settings the record for shortest time as prime minister) and Rishi Sunak took her place. The general public didn’t vote for these people to be Prime Minister. They were selected by the party in power.

That’s why I’m sort of confused why Democrats don’t just pick someone else. In a parliamentary system it wouldn’t be a big deal. The general public are voting for a party, not a person.

Sunwing’s lawyers likely charge more than that per hour. This is either to avoid setting a precedent that the company doesn’t like or they’re incredibly petty. I suppose those aren’t mutually exclusive…

Genuine question. Why doesn’t Biden step down and let another Democrat run? Is there literally no other Democrat that could do better than Biden?

A bystander alerted police shortly after the fight ended. They spoke with one of the men involved in the incident, and he told them that it was the two women who had initiated the fight. The rest of the men refused to cooperate and give IDs, however. There are currently no charges as police are investigating the situation.

Have you comitted a hate crime? Don’t cooperate with police! Police can’t arrest you without your concent! Police HATE this one weird trick!

If you’re into scripting or hacking you should check this game out. It’s an interesting twist on the Multi-User Dungeon genre. The game presents mostly as a command-line interface where your goal is to seek out targets to pwn for money/points. NPC targets will have vulnerabilities you need to find and exploit in order to expose a hackable part. Once found you engage hackermode where you’ll have a timelimit to break the target’s security (mostly through bruteforce cracking). The game allows you to write short scripts in JavaScript to automate searching for vulnerabilities and cracking security.

Being Multi-User, there are other users online doing what you’re doing and you’re free to chat with them and exchange scripts. You’re also free to write malicious scripts that will steal money/points from others who don’t check scripts before running them!

The part I found cool was that the game mirrors IRL hacking much closer than other hacking games. You’ll often need to submit incorrect data to NPC targets to get an error message that will contain hints about where to go next. Ex. A webpage has “News” and “About Us” sections. You can request a section that doesn’t exist to get an error message that shows all acceptable sections: “News”, “About Us”, or “Employees”. You’ve found a hidden section! Using scripts to send a bunch of mal-formed data at a target and then analyzing which ones generate an exploitable error is part of real-life security testing.

You say “tax the rich” and they think you mean them because they made $100k last year. Nah you’re good! You could make 10x that and you’d still be good. I was talking about the people who make 450,000x that amount in a year.

The producer said he was speaking only for himself personally and not for the company, so my guess is that he personally liked Kojima and wasn’t involved in kicking him out. The Konami CEO and executives probably don’t share the same dream as this producer.

I get what you’re saying, but the Reform Party was a far-right Christian nationalist party that was against gay marriage, any immigration that would alter the “ethnic makeup” of Canada, and had a problem of attracting openly racist supporters. Not the greatest example of a small party seeing a surge in support!

“Now that we’ve heard from a respected expert in this field, let’s balance things out by listening to an idiot.”

do you seriously think this is and will always be about actual misinformation, and not pro-palestine speech and similar things?

No. That’s why the Supreme Court exists. If it wasn’t about actual misinformation and just removing speech the administration didn’t like then the Supreme Court could reverse the action. This is literally how the government is supposed to work.

It’s called xenophobia, the fear and dislike of anything foreign. Some people believe that if your group isn’t dominant it will be dominated, and peaceful coexistence isn’t possible between different groups.

These people are afraid that, if the English language isn’t forced onto other people, one day other people will force a foreign language onto them.

Yes, also a running gag in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

The Elder Scrolls video game series has a race of cat people known as Khajiit. They’re often found as wandering merchants and repeat the line in OP when you talk to them. Video
