Also it's just a case of anecdotal evidence and definitely not a recommended practice, it was interesting to read this guy's experience. Thanks for sharing!
That explains the noises at night! If they could just shore up our one sagging foundation corner in the back while they're at it, that'd be great. After they do some serious manual labor in the summer sun for me, then they can go back to their country until I need more work done. Oh! Actually, no, we need them to do the harvest. And there's this thing with some construction.... shit. It turns out that hard workers are actually really needed everywhere and we shouldn't be such xenophobic/racist assholes all the time.
I do actually need the foundation looked at, though but I can't afford it despite having a pretty decent and high experience required job. All the money is going to billionaires instead. Strange that those same billionaires are funding lots of media telling me to be afraid of people all the time... no relation to the whole immigration thing, I'm sure.
How much background checking do you think they do on someone from France vs. someone from Libya? Do you think it's an equal amount? (It is not.) Do you want it to be an equal amount?
Yeah, I do, and obviously it's not the same now. These people are coming in by the millions and they're not doing background checks at all. They're doing background checks on the ones that are waiting to get here legally.
If there are white people crossing the Southern border illegally it includes them to since you want to make everything about race although I don't see any white people crossing the Southern border
Btw, you're wrong. There are way more people coming across the Southern border than people over staying visas. It's not even close and at least we know who the people are that have over stayed their visa
Yeah, 700,000 in one year and out of those 600,000 remain. Like I said, not even close. We've had up to 250,000 in a month crossing the border illegally
How about you show actual numbers from a legitimate source of both visa overstays and illegal border crossings rather than just tell me what you think the number is?
You posted the story saying that there were 600,000 over stayed visas in a years time claiming thats most of the illegals coming into the country. And yes, that's fake news because it's not true.
Nothing to see here.
Everytime a guerilla is vastly dominated militarily, they would attack civilians from the oppressor in the most horrible way to bring a brutal crackdown from said oppressor and strengthen the support at home and abroad.
Classic counter-colonial tactic
If you read the WSJ article, it relies largely on interviews with Palestinians who were neighbors.
The author, Abeer Ayyoub, Is also a Palestinian from Gaza.
I’ll read the CNN article when I have a moment.
Edit: Had a moment and read the article. Best I can gather the CNN snippet you posted relies entirely on a Twitter/X post from the chairman of the Euro Med Monitor?
Oh that's not good, let's get rid of every single Palestinian then.
To be clear, /s, and while some Palestinians may well have done something like this, bringing it up without contextualizing it back to the Nakba makes it pro genocide propaganda
Jeg gad godt vide om/hvornår AI-boomet forsvinder. Kan AI virkelig tilføje al den værdi som investorerne tror det kan? Jeg er ikke overbevist endnu, men måske de kan nå at gøre AI endnu bedre hurtigt nok så den kan leve op til hypen. Den nyeste version af ChatGPT så da ret imponerende ud. Men jo, det lugter lidt af dot-com boblen.
Jeg tror vi vil se virksomheder som sælger AI-processing til privat og industri, inden året er omme. Og jo hurtigere de her virksomhed kan levere produkt til klienter, jo bedre. 2 papers down the line fra Sora vil være godt nok, tror jeg. Stor vækst i de næste 4-8 år, i mine øjne. Jeg er ikke ekspert.Ekspert snakker om NVDA her
Reminds me of that footage of the Chinese and Indian militaries beating the shit out of eachother with wooden sticks because they were worried even small arms fire could cause enough echo to start an avalanche.
If by "avalanche" you mean "escalation of conflict", yes. They don't allow firearms because of one side shoots, the other side shoots back, then everyone is shooting and it's a real war. Without guns, they have to actually go up and fight the other guy, which is much less effective fighting. A few guys beat up a few other guys, instead of dozens shooting and killing dozens.
Depends on where you live. For a european, african or an american, it's a bit meh. For a japanese, korean, phillipine, taiwanese, vietnamese or an indonesian...it makes front page.
What was the fucking point of this? It seems so stupid and petty. Like why even go through the trouble?
I know there have been maritime issues between China and others within the last few years or so, but seriously - what is the fucking point of doing this?
China is probing the US's willingness to get involved in another conflict.
"Stupid and petty" is how international bullies operate. Pointless violence is how immature people express their "strength".
I know there have been maritime issues between China and others within the last few years or so
All of the maritime issues have been caused by China attempting to claim the entire South China Sea as their private property, in defiance of international agreements about national coastal waters. All of those issues were provoked by China trying to exert control over coastal waters that are rightfully the property of other nations, such as Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. China is a bad neighbor.

China is a bad neighbour, and fuck the CCP. But all the nations around the SCS have ridiculous claims of them controling huge swathes of water way outside their coastal waters. China is just by far the most aggressive about it.
I hardly think its whataboutery talking about the topic in question, the claims in the south China sea. Did you miss the parts where I explictly said China was by far the worst for this?
But you'll also notice that even though this incident is outside the internationally recognised waters of the Philipines it is claimed by China, the Philipines and Vietnam. Despite not being near enough to any of them to properly claim it.
Considering the US literally couped Australia when their prime minister refused to give unconditional support for a spy base, this is small fry!
p.s. that military base in Australia now exists, the US has full autonomous control of it, stations soldiers there, and the antennae currently guiding the Israeli missiles leveling Gaza
I don't think it's valid to compare a full-scale ground invasion with smashing up a patrol boat. Ground invasions are overt acts of war, no matter how much the invader might want to label them as "special". In this case I don't think China wants an open conflict with the Philippines, not yet anyway. If you're actually invading you don't vandalize one boat with hand tools and then run off, like teenager leaving a burning bag of shit on someone's porch.
This is about China doing whatever it wants, and international law be damned. It's more of a Cartman-esque demand for obedience and submission.
So you do agree that it is a fairly moderated act, compared two how the other two main powers in the world operate, which is outright illegal and mass murderous invasions.
