Well the link is pretty horrid, but there appears to be a whole lot of Alan Dershowitz this and Alan Dershowitz that in the released documents.

Actually it was very smooth.

I rode the maglev to the shanghai airport, it was awesome. The newer version in Beijing is significantly faster. But yeah super expensive to build.

Crime is down, despite the determined and successful efforts to convince us otherwise. Also some states have stepped back from the stunningly huge mandatory sentencing policies imposed during the 80s and 90s.

The US is a failed experiment in neoliberal governance. We are a state in the process of collapsing. All of our institutions are corrupt and dysfunctional. Our infrastructure is falling apart due to underinvestment.

frequently. Although most of the well known conspiracy trials pre-dated rico. For example: the Chicago 7. Throughout the turmoil of the 60’s and early 70s people were getting charged with almost invariably bogus conspiracy offenses, (and also getting assassinated as in Fred Hampton.) More recently more than 100 people were charged with conspiracy offenses over the Standing Rock protests.

Yes. The end of the Maoist era was pretty horrible for a lot of people.

or the server version. But it is difficult and/or expensive for ordinary users to use any of the unbloated versions.

Just anecdotally, I worked for a short period of time in China, and was simply stunned by the level of public investment that was occurring. There is so much we could do if we had the political power to do anything. Also, my colleagues were pretty open about their collective sigh of relief that the nightmare their parents went through was long over, their anxiety that it could return, and their enthusiasm for the current path. Of course this was a rather nonrandom sample of tech workers, so there is that. My opinion is that I have no idea if China will end up being AES, but at least it represents an intention to do so, and an alternative to the dominant system.

‘Activist Russel Brand’ - they misspelled opportunistic shithead.

Agree that this is a fact. Now ask how it is relevant.

Cmon, that’s easy. When inflation is up: we need us some austerity. Then when inflation is down, obviously that is when austerity is called for. If you are confused, please see: when do the rich need tax cuts.

I’m fine with poor kids getting a really shitty meal but why are we paying for rich kids to get decent meals? I think this program needs a bureaucracy that investigates and qualifies each child to make sure their circumstances are dire enough to qualify for a substandard shitty lunch. Also there should be drug testing to make sure the qualified families aren’t getting high.

It’s just to add flavor. I rarely marinate. My usual method is: Press the water out. Toss in oil salt pepper and sesame seeds. Roast at 425 for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Just roast or fry it. It might be ok raw too, add some scallions and just eat it.

I’d suggest not buying marinated tofu. It takes just a few minutes of labor to prep it yourself, and then you know that it was pressed first and how long and with what ingredients it was marinated.

The commons were communally managed for centuries by the people. The tragedy was the enclosures that destroyed communal village economies.

When the left is in power they better fucking deliver.

Communities are local to an instance. It is a peculiar feature of the federation software. Users are in the same category.

Kind of similar to how Jewish theology explains how in the mythical past god was appearing as a burning bush and talking a lot, but now (like for the last 2500 years) god is mute.

Recent developments have confirmed a huge number of completely unrelated whacked/fascist CT as the flock looks at one possibly real wolf and decides therefore all the wolf hallucinations are real.
