Find better songs.

Only if you expect the pink power ranger to go mincing about throwing glitter grenades.

Money, power, influence, prestige

It hasn’t really fallen, it’s just saying the quiet part out loud for once.

With dentistry straight from the uncanny valley and inside voices that rival foghorns?

Pretending not to be American when travelling abroad.

The Iranian regime has essentially shut down the internet within the country, as recent events do not show their defence capabilities in a good light and they do not wish their citizens to share information. Meanwhile, Israel is thought to be engaging in a major cyber attack on Iranian internet infrastructure.

We know they have none, otherwise the strike wouldn’t have been possible.

We don’t know how sophisticated Iranian devices might be.

You’re missing a word there. US assessment is that Iran is not currently building nuclear weapons. The nuclear weapons programme has been frozen for many years. However it is still actively generating the materials required to assemble a weapon, and if the programme is reactivated it won’t take long to get to a working weapon.

1. They are bombing precisely because they haven’t got any weapons. If they had weapons, their nuclear weapons programme wouldn’t be attacked. This is how N Korea gets away with its shit. The attack is because they almost have nuclear weapons, and is intended to ensure the programme doesn’t bear fruit.

2. Nuclear weapons need a very precisely placed and timed set of shaped explosions within the device in order to ram the material together in such a way as to achieve fission. Nuclear weapons cannot be detonated by exterior explosions, fire, earthquake, hurricane or anything else other than its own detonation system.

Well, as sophisticated as it got in the 1940s

Social media brought all the normies into the internet. Normies ruin everything.

The American public lost their minds at 2k casualties in 2001. I doubt they have the determination for a civil war.

Hey, I saw a Black out on my lawn, eating worms. I banged on the window and scared him off though.

They have representation in other ways. For instance in Britain, where it is illegal for police to unionise, there is instead a government-funded Police Federation, which independently advocates for police working conditions and supplies advice and representation for police in disciplinary affairs. The main difference from a union is that it is free to members and that police are not allowed to go on strike. This removes a lot of the worst abuses of power.

That sticker was exclusive to the LAPD, but it kept turning up in films made in Hollywood set elsewhere, so other regions adopted it eventually too.

Apple have always done what they wanted. In the Jobs era the biggest Apple Store in the world was on Regents Street in London, and Apple paid the local council vast fines each month because Jobs decided that the required illuminated fire exit signs would have ruined the carefully designed interior.

Eink charge around $30 for their lowest-spec screen. Device builders have to price that in, along with the niche market, and the fact that those who want to use Eink are unlikely to be replacing it for several years.

Foreign students pay more, so they subsidise others, and justify increased numbers of places then available to domestic students.
