Organize. Find strength in numbers. Join PSL or FRSO or whatever organization is happening near you. We may or may not not be able to avoid this one but we can still struggle together to right the wrongs in our society that led to these events and strike while the iron is hot.

Israel Keyes admitted to at least one of these but probably did tens if not hundreds. Had caches across the country of supplies and weapons. He was only eventually caught cause he got sloppy and I think had a body or something on his property at some point. Didn't admit a lot to the police cause he didn't want media attention and for his daughter to find out, a lot of information is gleaned from missing persons that coincided with where he happened to be at the time (phone pings, plane tickets, etc), and he traveled a lot.

There's a long-running podcast detailing what is known about him, called True Crime Bullshit.

You have to admit he makes a very handsome woman

I mean yeah between Ukraine/Russia and Lebanon/Palestine/Israel It's not hard to see why a bunch of capitalists would be bullish on defense right now. Don't really need to look at the stock market to know that.

The learning lesson there is just how much money is invested in seeing war break out and creating need for more weapons. Anyone pushing for war very likely has a vested interest in seeing it happen, especially those with the means to shelter themselves from the consequences of war. Add in the fact that capitalists are very good at getting what they want from the US government, and even better at sheltering themselves from consequences.

So, is the war just "likely", breaking out on its own out of nowhere, and capitalists just have a 6th sense for it, or is it being pushed and funded by capitalists who want the public to feel like war is inevitable so they will consent to escalating military intervention without much resistance?

Welcome to capitalism, are you new here?

Theres just too many rules that completely blow the game if you break them. People tell me there's room for strategy but everything feels predetermined by the cards you get and of course there's that guy over your shoulder telling you "can't do that" every time you try something and oh great the other team knows my cards now, game over. Like yeah lol fuck this you guys can play without me.

This has been my experience all 6 times I've tried to learn euchre.

That's news to me

I wasn't implying you were talking about defense, I was just saying that if you're only about money then you can make a lot of it developing weapons for the government.

Different universities specialize in different things. I went to an engineering university that issued mostly engineering degrees, plus a few business degrees. Both of my state's public universities also have fairly large colleges of engineering with quite a few engineering programs run by them. You're also not only competing locally, but with remote, outsource and H1B visa workers. There is plenty of supply.

God forbid you have to train an employee in the specialization you're looking for once in a while.

After telling a generation of kids to get stem degrees or they'll be doomed to flip burgers, I feel I have the responsibility to say this is no longer the case. The jobs still pay well but; between ghost job listings, recent layoffs, and every entry level job wanting like 4 years of hyper specific experience; I have observed it being nearly impossible to enter the job market or move around it right now, and the whole thing feels very oversaturated.

Unless you're willing to build bombs. Don't know much about that end of it cause I'm not interested in developing things intended to kill people. but that's where the money is if that's what you're about.

Why are you making that assumption?

[–] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Making everything about money and power when there's a child and feelings involved is pretty insecure, yeah. Some benefit of the doubt is warranted.

Your analysis that they're just "flexing" by doing a nice gesture for a child of a divorce that they are involved in, says more about you than anyone else in this situation.

 

I've noticed that inline images will render to fill the available width of the comment they're on. This is much too large for some images, such as emotes that only have so many pixels to display and thus get blown out and fuzzy. I would much prefer inline images to render in their native resolution up until they reach the width of the comment. Is there already a way to change this behavior or is it not something that has been implemented?

 

An email I received from the Detroit Edison (DTE) Energy Company today. The text reads:
