Shame on Egypt

It snows every winter, this is just the first time this winter. Jabal al-Lawz is where the 2029 Asian Winter Games will be held.

Yikes. That’s awful. I hate AI.

I got permission from HR and the CTO to install GNU+Linux on the work desktop.

Why did you switch, and what was your process like? What made you choose Linux for your primary computing device, rather than macOS for example?

Free, installs on my existing hardware with near-zero effort. I have it installed on old yet still functional Macs that Apple doesn’t provide security updates for anymore.

“rules-based order”

“ceasefire”

I used to be a fan but in addition to their complicity in Israeli war crimes they aren’t even trying to be a viable player in video games anymore. I moved on to other systems and platforms last year.

Why would China want to invade the US? For its oft delayed Amtrak trains? For its copays and deductibles? For the HFCS that’s in everything? Or for the HOA that will call the police on you if your grass is too long? The fabs are in Taiwan. I can’t think of anything of value the US has that China can’t find better elsewhere even as a consumer economy.

I would love to see it.

On the plus side for him he doesn’t know how to spell exasperated.

How unfortunate it is to betray your country then be betrayed by who you betrayed your country for. To be fair I didn’t expect that the US will lose to the Emirate of Afghanistan, in 2001 it looked like the US was obviously going to win and establish a friendly government that will last for a long time.

The Emirate of Afghanistan should offer amnesty for those who were deceived by the US and the Republic of Afghanistan puppets.

The tail does not wag the dog. Saying that Israel controls the US has it the other way around. Israel serves US interests and the US chooses to enable it.

We are in the midst of a Great Leap Backward or Cultural Revolution-style assault on the domestic institutions that made America great – the rule of law, freedom of speech, academic freedom and scientific excellence, federal partnerships with research universities, openness to foreigners and their ideas, policies based on evidence and expertise rather than fake news and unsubstantiated prejudice, and the prioritisation of objectivity over political correctness.

For the longest time US liberals used weasel words like opposing authoritarianism and supporting democracy to justify the US’s foreign policy from sanctions to war crimes. “Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East surrounded by authoritarian Islamist regimes”, “I don’t hate the Chinese I hate the authoritarian CCP and I support Taiwan because it is a democracy”. Never mind the claims being false, they were a good attempt at masking their national supremacism and cultural chauvinism. US conservatives have always been more honest about being racist and just hating Arabs, Muslims, Chinese and so on. So witnessing the US decay into fascism has been a guilty pleasure of mine. US liberals now will look really silly accusing others of what their government is guilty of, but I am sure they will find a way to spin it. They are already blaming Trump on Russia, Saudi Arabia and others. Denying the fact that Trump is the US at its rawest and truest form.

The usual suspects. UN votes do expose what values they truly hold.

I’m surprised UAE is there but not Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

How is this even a ceasefire? What are the guarantors doing?

This is the same as in Lebanon, a one-sided ceasefire as Israel continues its aggression.

Palestinians in Gaza are celebrating. He still got off easy after what he did.

Good riddance
