True, and we already see this with the Executive and Legislative branches, and even the Judicial branch (especially the Supreme Court)

Decades ago, Coca-Cola was trying to enter the market in Saudi Arabia. They ran an ad where "pilgrims" walked around a giant coke bottle, in the same way that Muslim pilgrims in Mecca walk around the Kaaba during Hajj and Umrah. It was very, very poorly received, to say the least, and many attribute it as the main reason why Pepsi has dominated the market instead of Coca-Cola.

Its a bit confusing to me at first. Expectation: left eye goes to right hemisphere, right eye goes to left hemisphere. Reality: left eye output goes to both hemisphere, right eye goes to both hemispheres.

One thing that is being begged over and over during this Trump regime is this: the current separation of powers is not enough. The executive branch needs to be broken down: the president cant be the one who controls who gets prosecuted or not.

12 what?

(No, its not mentioned whether the 12 are civilians or not, but it said it included members of a family, so I assume that means at least a few civilians have been killed)

I hope it becomes a celebrated yearly event.

Very interesting. One other argument for Disaster Anarchism is that disaster preparedness can be done all of the time: regardless of how good or bad things are going right now*, we can keep building these disaster response systems.

  • By going good, I dont mean perfect. I think that insurrection tends to only happen when things are going really bad.

That's not what it argued. It explicitly states that revolution and conflict may need to happen as a function of disaster response.

Its a generalisation. A 4d cube is a shape that has the same length in all 4 dimensions. You can also talk of 5d cubes, 6d cubes, etc. These are commonly called n-cubes: a 4-cube is a 4d cube.

There are also 4D spheres, even though spheres are definitionally 3D. They are called n-spheres.

Such a waste. Bronze looks so much better than that gold, especially when it rusts.

 

This survey is nuts. Here are some quotes:

  1. Pierre Poilievre will lock up the worst criminals for life. Do you want safer streets?* Yes – Jail, not bail! No – I want dangerous criminals terrorizing my streets
  1. The Carney Trudeau Liberals have FAILED our military. Pierre Poilievre and Canada First Conservatives will strengthen it. Do you want a stronger military?* Yes - Warrior culture—NOT woke culture. No – Woke culture is more important

The * just means its a required field, if you are wondering.
