“Well known behind the bar” is sometimes a polite way of saying he was perhaps a very regular customer .

If you’ve worked in aerospace, you may have heard the phrase “we ain’t in the washing machine business”

In future, the accident investigators will not be trying to figure out if it’s you or the other guy at fault, but if it’s you, the other guy, your car or his car.

That’ll be fun .

I think there’s another 1/3 - maybe at intersection of them all.

A great many people in shock, and don’t realise this is just America mask-off.

It’s standard American foreign policy and has been for 60 years. The wars they have started, the regime change, it’s all standard. Ask anyone in South America or the Middle East.

It’s a low rent pejorative favoured by the ‘tolerant centre’ for anything or anyone to the left of MSNBC

That’s a lot of hurt to be carrying around

Yeah I read it in group chat

Where are you trying to say it ?

Do you know what a fucking leak is ?

Can’t do it . You must just get labelled a Russian bot and banned

That’s nothing .

20 years and counting with a heart of stone, so I’m told.

Sir you memes are superlative

Doesn’t include the gains they made on trumps election

Rest in peace professor

So my thing is, the “deep state” for want of a better word, ultimately won’t let Trump and his backers wreck 70 years of American hegemony since WWII.

Iraq, the Cold War, the coups, assassinations a d sanctions throughout South America, all the bases in the Philippines and around the South China…. It all took a a lot of work.

I’d be surprised if America lets that go.

If you look at what going on in terms of countries moving away from US - nothing has really happened yet. Countries that don’t buy arms and oil from the US, or don’t give the US preferential access to their resources, have historically been awarded a regime change, or worse .

If we look beyond the hoohar, they actually trying to get Zelensky out now, in favour of someone more obedient. That will just sign away resources for a cease fire .

Yep. I basically wear rags around the house for this reason.

Understood .

I’m sad to see Firefox moving in this direction - it difficult to deny any more - but I don’t like the drama causing everyone to dump it like it’s a virus !

Interesting metaphor.

At what point is too late ? What the consequences here, of giving it a few days? Of understanding to steps you can take protect your data ?

Because what you have now, is a bunch of idiots, running round yelling “Firefox is untrustworthy “. And jumping straight on the next fork of 20 million lines of code, because Internet bro says it’s better .

They havent the faintest, and I mean the faintest idea of what trust is,

Just amazing how people wake up, watch a bit of YouTube and run to social media saying the sky is falling in.

10gb is the free plan. Every 30 days.
