Don’t think extradited, but US would try to garnish/seize money going into that account, which is why foreign banks don’t want to deal with the hassle of having a US customer. The extra legal requirements to have an account for you is just not worth it to them. The exception is only when you have a great deal of money, and then they can actually make money from your deposits. But then that amount of money in a bank is a sure sign you don’t know how to manage your money.

Seems like something an enemy of the US would want to do. Make this as difficult militarily and politically as possible. Can’t do anything here but be angry, and share more intelligence with Ukraine, maybe even give them more weapons. This is some obvious shit, and anyone that’s outraged by this doesn’t have much capacity for thought. Either that or they’re doing a performative gesture for the folks that don’t have the capacity to think.

Why’d they make a statue of Aang?

I will concede that it will be more expensive, but so will all computing devices. There will be some people who just can’t afford it, but I don’t think people will specifically avoid it due to price. Since a new computer will also have that same increase in price.

I can agree on AI being bullshit though.

Feels like these are more likely to be for all the protesters they just killed. If that’s an actual press release, seems like a misdirection.

Look at the background though. House is trashed. Have no idea on the why, but could assume a hellcat, and he’s exhausted by the mess to be cleaned. Idk, so many possibilities.

This map seems to try to do too much with the data it has. Have white/yellow/red being used to identify three different things. Two of the subjects are lines that get thicker as there is more of the given resource. Other that colors pretty it’s hard to infer anything useful. At least to me, who doesn’t have direct knowledge of anything in the map.

Seems like it would have been much better either as an interactive map, or a set of three maps.

I understand what youre saying, about it all, but the people in that area are the problem keeping him in his seat. There’s surely some Dems there, but would be pleasantly surprised to learn there was a majority.

I wish it were possible. Looking at the map, and being from Florida, that’s one of the more rural and ignorant parts of this state. Don’t get me wrong, I hope it happens, but I lack faith.

Nuh-uh, it was 19 years, 364 days, 23hours, 59 minutes ago!

I also completely missed the point of the saying, why do you ask?

That was my first thought, and then someone in this thread did in fact find an earlier post by someone else. Though I don’t know if that was the original.

Most of them. There are a few that actually seem to be working and it must be so frustrating for those that actually care.

But i would rather they stay in DC and actually use their legislative power than show up for the papers and then do nothing. Though i suppose showing up would still be better than doing neither.

Right? This is a 14yo’s version of what they need to be doing. They don’t need to be walking in the street, they need to be impeaching and removing every part of this administration. Voting on bills to end this horror, not be physically present where they have little power.

Vote in the primaries, if there are choices. If you’re in a district with no choices, pick the lesser of two evils, and constantly send emails to let them know you’re paying attention.

And if things get extreme, maybe run for office?

The threat indeed, why we had a “nice” cold war, instead of the human ending one. I think both sides would have some amount of them. Not sure how that would play out since we’ve never had a large scalce war between two nuclear powers. Have only had small limited area, limited troop skirmishes. Like USSR/China near Mongolia and Pakistan/India at various border points. And even more limited is the India/China border skirmishes, that dont even have rifles, but rocks and sticks.

I feel like children would be the paint, in this… metaphor? Maybe the Jack can be the muse.

What you say is true, but everybody has lost the game if nukes are used. Their states wont be inhabitable either.

But the economics in the red states would lead to such bad living conditions that people would move, and then the spiral of no money, and no people to fight a war would lead to a very one sided victory.
