We were doing this regularly as a matter of policy with illegal immigrants until...let me check my notes...the 2020's.

I don't support much of anything Russia has ever done, but this is not a point where we have any moral high ground over them whatsoever.

They aren't meant for people who enjoy flavor. They're meant for dudebros who are cripplingly insecure in their masculinity and feel a constant need to prove themselves, even though no one gives a shit. The same people who buy dude wipes and giant pickups.

This is going to absolutely devastate Florida.

Good. This is what they wanted, as reflected by their votes.

They need as many people as possible to do work

No they don't. The only thing they need is to be economically and politically quarantined. Florida has become an openly fascist state is a threat to the well-being of the US and the rest of its people. They need to understand the consequences of their choices.

This may actually sink Desantas as a presidential candidate.

Nope. DeSantis was never a viable opponent to Trump, and the numbers have reflected that from day one.

He's definitely feeling his shitty polling numbers.

Good. You keep electing fascists, you deserve to suffer for your choice.

It's becoming a lot easier to use the internet a lot less. It's been turned into such a user-hostile space so domineered by corporations and fascists that most of the internet doesn't really hold much of an appeal anymore, at least for me.

If the internet died tomorrow and didn't come back, I'd be annoyed about not being able to use it to order food, manage my bank account, or watch shows/movies, but the world would likely be an overall better place once logistics re-adapted to not having it.

The internet was cool for the first 10-15 years, but it's been a rapidly worsening cesspit for a long time. Nothing the internet can offer us is worth also tolerating it as a tool for inescapable government and corporate surveillance, and as the most effective imagineable breeding ground for fascism and disinformation.

The internet makes our lives worse in so many more ways than it imporves them, and people are too fucking addicted to it to give a shit.

For one, the fact that whether someone was tried and convicted was generally not based on guilt, but whether or not they were of use to the allies or not.

Werner Von Braun was probably the most famous example, but there are hundreds of others.

Fuck the 2nd Amendment.

I wish I was this naive and ignorant of literally every shred of credible scientific evidence. I'd be a lot happier.

How many brain sugeries did he perform? How many spaceflight trajectories did he calculate? How many high speed computer processors did he engineer?

I don't care? The Nuremburg trials aren't the source of basic morality and ethics. They aren't even a particularly good example of it, if you've actually got any familiarity with what actually happened.
