It really is hard to put Republican assholery on a scale of "worst in our lifetime".
GWB got us in multiple multiple decade long wars.
Mitt Romney or Dick Cheney might have turned the great recession into another great depression.
Trump nearly got us into another full blown recession, got rid of Roe V Wade, tried to overturn Democracy, and nearly got us into a war with Iran.
Trump this time around will try to overturn Democracy again, might bring back the full blown recession we almost had, will let Russia steamroll Ukraine, will support Israel harder than any US president, etc. etc.
"After a careful process, we found five Israeli units responsible for individual incidents of gross violations of human rights. All of these were incidents much before October 7th and none took place in Gaza," State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel said Monday....
For some more context, the article says four of the five units have remedied their issues, and the State Department is working with the Israeli government to remedy the issue with the fifth unit. I'm not sure what they mean by "remedy", but I'm assuming they mean punishing the individuals responsible or something.
Yeah, in one game I was having issues locking at a big distance. Maybe the hitboxes of the hills the hulk was running across were being funky, so it was thinking it was out of sight. Idk.
They also cited Nicaragua's recent push towards authoritarianism modeled after Putin's regime, and how Russia can use this case as a propaganda talking point point to defend their genocide in Ukraine.
Not mentioned in the article was Nicaragua's support of Putin's invasion of Ukraine, as well as Russia's military and intelligence support of Nicaragua, which is also relevant information imo.
To me, it's pretty clear that it would be to Ortega's political advantage to continue to do as Putin asks. Even if Russia didn't ask Ortega to file, it's pretty obvious a dictator like him doesn't care about Palestinians and is filing in bad faith to please Putin.
Pelosi caveated this statement saying that most of them are probably organic and sincere, but the pro Palestine movement aligns with the goals of Russia 🤷♂️, which doesn't make the pro Palestine movement wrong.
It's pretty well documented that Russia attempted to spur conflict within the US by trying to instigate the BLM movement. The BLM movement may overall be a good thing, but that doesn't mean we should be happy that antagonistic foreign governments are trying to add to them.
Further, look at all the tankie influencers online who suddenly are super pro Palestine, such as Jackson Hinckle, even though they have no issue with governments putting down protest in their preferred countries like China.
Weren't they literally from Codepink? Like 25% of their funding comes from the Shanghai based billionaire husband of a cofounder. Since they got married, Codepink changed their opinions SHARPLY on China. It seems like a good excuse for shouting "go back to China".
That's fair! I can think of shows where the beginning was meh, and they got better like Parks and Rec IMO, but I don't remember the ending being particularly amazing compared to the rest.
Many U.S. weapons are already positioned in stores across Europe that could be pulled immediately for Ukraine, the first official said. Some materiel could reach Ukraine in days; others may take weeks.

Didn't happen yet. Venezuela is still escalating tensions with force buildups on the border and passing laws claiming the territory, even though they agreed to go through the ICJ to settle the dispute.
I lost all respect for Ramsey when I came across a video of him saying he wouldn't take a 0% interest million dollar loan. His opinions on finance are outrageous and dumb.
I'm sorry Frodo. The government has put too many regulations on eagle riding for it to be cost effective. Also, protestors in Gondor have concerns about flying eagles ruining the views from their huts' backyards. You can't simply fly the ring to Mordor.
Honestly, I'm so confused why radical leftists are so pro Russia. It's not like they're communist anymore. In fact, they're an authoritarian kleptocracy, which sounds like the type of government the folks on hexbear and lemmygrad would like the least.
President Biden vowed Tuesday to rebuild Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge after it collapsed into the water when a cargo ship rammed into it, echoing what some Maryland officials said earlier but adding that he expects the federal government to foot the bill....
Like the other guy said, authoritarian communists.
Or authoritarian communists pretending not to be. The type of people to come out and defend everything China and Russia do while decrying "the west" at every opportunity. Constantly at it with "what aboutisms" and other bad faith arguments. People who claim we should vote third party/not vote while pretending they want to make the US better through these actions, when really they just want the US to fail. Jackson Hinkle types or Infra Haz types.
If I recall correctly, tankies are named because tanks were used to put down protests in Czechoslovakia under the USSR and tankies will defend it.

Ah okay! Thank you for providing sources. It still seems like a competitive chip, but I see I was wrong about it being outright better.
I think the first two comparisons are a little unfair (unless I'm mistaken) since those are both desktop spec chips and apple doesn't realllyyy do desktops anymore.
Edit: Yeah, I saw the Mac Pro release, but didn't hear much after that. It seemed like it would end up being really niche. I didn't realize they had made a desktop specific m3 chip for it. This is what I get for not following tech recently haha.
I would imagine with apple's poor cooling, many of the Intel and AMD chips would perform worse in the real world in one of their laptops given the difference in power usage. That's just a theory though given their past thermal issues.
The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit.

This was my attempt to create a a SNES to Bluetooth adapter. It works but the average latency was 18.35ms, which I think is too much to be considered a good controller.

Yeah! I love Biden. Between the student debt changes, build back better plan, insulin price changes for Medicare patients, helping Ukraine, etc. etc. all with only a 1 seat majority in the Senate, a conservative court that trump filled, and a now conservative house.
As for your other question, a Republic is still a form of Democracy. You have the ability to vote for whoever you want.
Whoever you wanna write in? Unfortunately for your personal beliefs, most Americans are batshit conservatives or moderate to progressive liberals, therefore usually a batshit Republican, and a moderate dem win the primaries, which frequently have more populist candidates as an option. Sanders was in the 2020 primary. I voted for him. He didn't win, so I voted for Biden in the general.
Maybe I'm wrong, but It feels like you'd have the same complaints you have under this system that you'd have under any democratic system of government.
A third party vote is still supporting Trump if you have a left mindset (and vice versa for conservatives). You CAN vote for whoever you want, that doesn't make it moral. The purpose of primaries is for the voters within the party to get together and decide the platform and candidate for that party.
Plus, between local and state elections, you have even more say with your vote. You could even run for office locally and have a chance of winning.
