также мы с NoiseColor не согласны - не думаю что Путин хочет ядерную войну. а победе в Украине надо прекратить поддержку НАТО. ну Путини кажется что Тромп НАТО не дальше поддерживает, и затом НАТО ослабляет. так может быть что Путин нападает Польше, чтобы сломать союзу НАТО. а это очень опасно…

я говорю чуть-чуть по-русски, и занималась истории СССР, а ещё мы - не согласны. СМО неоправдан.

Jesus would have hated movie theater concession stands.

theoretically, Muslims and Jews should be closer. both believe in one god, rather than a trinity. both reject icons. both follow the dietary laws. both Jews and Arabs descend from Abraham.

maybe the closer you are the more you have to fight about 🤷‍♀️

I’m not sure Jesus said anything about whether his followers need to keep kosher or observe the Torah. “I have come not to replace the Law, but to fulfill it” or something, right? I don’t think he weighed in on circumcision or pork. wasn’t that largely the early Christians deciding after his death?

whoa, I didn’t know there were Churches that don’t follow Paul. he’s one of my biggest issues with Christianity.

I felt like Christianity suffered a lot from so many gentiles streaming in early on without becoming Jews, and by the time it became the religion of Rome it blended with Sol Invictus, Greek Platonism and other Roman mythology, and became incomprehensible. Jesus was Jewish, the Disciples were all Jews, all the context of his teachings only make sense in a context the fresh converts lacked.

I kinda wonder about an alternate universe where a sect of Jews accept Jesus as Moshiach but not as literally God. there’d be no trinity, the parables would go into the Talmud, he’d be seen as a rebbe like Hillel I guess.

exactly everything I need and nothing more. doesn’t need X. reasonably lightweight. no fiddly configuration needed. nice support for tiling alongside floating.

also, very buggy (at least as of alpha.7), somewhat fickle (at least on my hardware), and I can’t remap keyboard shortcuts.

Have you been conscious and actually aware of your surroundings over the last eight months?

yes. I’ve personally read most of the Supreme Court decisions from 2025 in their entirety. I’ve consumed a truly unhealthy amount of news.

Violation of due process rights

Yes, the Administration has pulled shady shit, especially their shell game with original jurisdiction and habeas petitions. The worst has been CECOT. Trump v. JGG and Trump v. AARP did smack down some of this, though DHS v. DVD was unconscionable in shirking the requirements for CAT hearings.

blatant kidnapping of naturalized citizens or permanent residents

I’m aware of a few cases of naturalized citizens being stripped of citizenship, ostensibly due to mistakes or omissions in their applications. This has always been a thing, legally, but courts have held that it mistakes must have material significance. I’m not aware that they’ve deported anyone for typos.

Many more permanent residents have been detained, usually due to some prior conviction on their record. Again, this is legal, though terribly wrong. All permanent residents should be getting naturalized asap because the protections are much stronger.

military occupations of entire cities

Legal for DC, due to its special status as a Federal city. Forbidden in States without invitation by their Governors, except in cases of Rebellion, per the Posse Comitatus Act. Troops can be deployed to protect Federal buildings or workers, which was the excuse Trump used in LA. As a result, the Marines mostly stood around doing nothing, since they weren’t allowed to police. A judge found this unlawful and enjoined the order, and the troops were removed.

As for Memphis, the Governor of Tennessee invited Trump to deploy the National Guard, so it was legal.

As for Chicago, despite Trump’s cringe Apocalypse Now meme, he backed down because Pritzker opposed, so he would have violated Posse Comitatus.

deporting full American citizens

A few children who were US citizens left the Country with their undocumented parents, when they were deported. Legally, they can’t deport the kids, but they can offer the parents a horrible choice: bring them with you, or put them in the foster system. If they weren’t offered a choice, this is an easy suit to win, but my understanding is that the parents decided to bring their kids with them.

open corruption

ha, yep. Trump and his cronies are laughably corrupt. don’t get me started on the memecoin…

–

so yes, the Constitution is in trouble. a couple months ago the Administration was skirting being held in contempt, in particular with deportations. but the judicial system is holding up surprisingly decently, with the exception of the absolutely disgraceful shadow docket orders SCOTUS has handed down.

but it’s not at a point yet where Trump can write EO that says “grr Antifa bad” and round up people who’ve committed no crimes.

no, that’s the thing. a group could literally call itself Antifa, apply for a permit to hold a demonstration and burn American flags holding “DOWN WITH FASCISM” signs, and there’s nothing the Administration could do. it’s all protected speech. they can’t jail someone for being Antifa. not even the EO claims this.

pff, you call using an operating system bare metal? I run my apps as unikernels on a grid of Elbrus chips I bought off a dockworker in Kamchatka.

and even that’s overkill. I prefer synthesizing my web apps into VHDL and running them directly on FPGAs.

until my ASIC shuttle arrives from Taipei, naturally, then I bond them directly onto Ethernet sockets.

/uj not really but that’d be sick as hell.

for work I have a cloud dev VM, in which I run WSL2. so there’s at least two levels of VMs happening, maybe three honestly.

this order doesn’t really do anything. it declares that “Antifa” is a domestic terrorist organization, and directs executive agencies to prioritize investigating and preventing illegal actions done by, or on behalf of, “Antifa.”

it doesn’t criminalize “Antifa,” define what that is, impose any sanctions, suspend any rights etc. there’s no statutory authority invoked. it’s just an order telling Federal law enforcement to focus on crimes by “Antifa” first.

why? probably because there’s jack shit they can do. there’s no magical war powers to invoke against domestic terrorists.

it’s just a tweet on fancy letterhead.

Hamas is getting exactly what they wanted.

they provoked Israel into massively overreacting, responding to a terrorist attack with a genocide. Israel burned though all its international goodwill and now most of the West has recognized Palestinian statehood.

Netenyahu’s arrogance amazes me. this was easy to foresee.

I’ve been talking with Russians on Reddit. maybe it’s all bots, but most of them really think NATO started the War in Ukraine, that every country in the West has always hated Russia and wants to destroy them, that all the invasions are in self-defense, that attacking the Baltics and Poland would be justified… it was terrifying.

they’re so cynical too - Western news is propaganda, Western democracies are shams, NATO wants to destroy Russia, everyone is Russophobic, that our citizens deserve to suffer for arming Ukraine, that we’d kill them all if we could, so they don’t care if they kill us.

they think they can break NATO, that we will fall apart if Poland is invaded, that Russia will emerge victorious and the Western order will lie in shambles. don’t they see they’re playing with nuclear holocaust? do they care? are they so fatalistic they’d play (apologies) Russian roulette with the extinction of humanity?

I ask you because you seem sane. is this just propaganda from kremlbots, or are most Russians really like this?

idk, honestly. usually this kind of tribalism burns itself out after a World War and a bunch of atrocities. there’s a global empathy shortage… too much hate and too little love.

They also normalize risk: forcing constant intercepts drains resources and tests cohesion among allies.

it also keeps defensive forces sharp, by giving them practice, and strengthens cohesion by highlighting the shared threat NATO protects its members from.

the Soviets did this for decades. it’s still part of their military doctrine, I guess. though it seems counterproductive to me.

I’m fine shooting down hostile fighter jets the second they cross into sovereign airspace, and not a moment sooner.

the Soviets used to fly fighters close to Western airspace to probe our defenses. we’d intercept, and if they crossed over we’d take them down. this is nothing new.

Matthew J. Nykiel, a board-certified surgeon, stated the appearance is modeled after Ivanka Trump’s appearance.[9] Melinda Anna Farina, an aesthetic consultant, identified the Mar-a-Lago face as attempting to emulate the appearance of Eastern European women.[2]

but there’s totally no cult of personality /s

is that the Network State that Peter Thiel is trying to build?

and make MAGA Place pay for it?
