Americans fell hard into nationalism after 9/11. They just wouldn’t admit it. Half of them still have their heads in the sand.

As an American, I personally believe that the Pledge of Allegiance is indoctrination.

Patriotism: Pride in your country for what it does.

Nationalism: Pride in your country in spite of what it does.

Does anyone know if there is another federated version of GitLab/GitHub? That’s something I wouldn’t absolutely switch to.

Whoa. I had no idea!

It sounded like the entire force had problems at the time the attack happened. I hope he was able to make reforms to the force but also to those officers.

Scary that they are in Domestic Abuse division tho, regardless

He’s doing both, but what I meant is that when an organization wrongs you so badly, it’s easier to become hateful and vengeful. Instead, he’s actively trying to make it better. He didn’t quit being an officer when so many people would have.

He’s now commissioner of the Boston Police Department. The same department that beat him.

This man is incredibly forgiving. That’s incredible.

But wait….that would be I’m almost 40. Omg you’re right. Time moves too quickly!

Reply unrelated to comment thread. Probably about politics.

Every game or movie that comes out now is a reboot/remake. Why would I buy that? I already bought that.

It feels like they just announced it? Why did they even bother?

I will support this on the single condition that all of Meta gets disconnected because they did piracy.

In fact, all AIs are doing piracy. Cut off those companies too.

YouTube gets cut off for hosting copyrighted material. Twitch is cut off.

Twitter gets cut off for sharing copyrighted material.

Google stole all those books. Cut it off.

Do it all. Burn it to the ground.

I’m betting the person injured themself to get off the plane. Maybe with their teeth. ICE was making fun of it, calling him a cannibal and dumbass Noem just believed it word for word.

She doesn’t seem like someone who gets jokes, even bad ones.

Both you and @DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com are correct. Google bought reCAPTCHA in 2012.

Here’s an article about it from 2018.

Captcha if you can: how you’ve been training AI for years without realising it

And another from 2019! Captchas got harder for us because the AI had learned from our training.

Why CAPTCHAs have gotten so difficult

Welp.

Cartel family members entered U.S. in deal with Trump admin, Mexican security chief confirms

I’d like to fire him from a canon…into the Sun. Melania could be denaturalized.

Idk Bayer made some hemophilia drugs, realized they were tainted with HIV and Hepatitis after it had started selling.

They pulled it from the US and Europe but sold the rest in Asia and Latin America.

They continued producing the medication for something like a year after admitting that it was tainted and when the updated safer version was available, they told distributors to use up the old stock before selling the new version.

Fuck capitalism.

This is how I rolled my car off the interstate.

(I’m fine!)

I was less than a mile from my exit and I thought I could make it. I was trying to hard to stay awake I ended up driving past several exists. Suddenly, I realized my eyes were closed and I wasn’t sure how long they had been like that. I panicked, afraid I would hit the median, slammed on my brakes and swerved.

Once that happened, I was alert and I knew I couldn’t stop the car from rolling so I let go and let it happen. Apparently, that’s partly why I wasn’t seriously injured. I didn’t tense up and try to brace myself. That and seatbelts/good safety design.

I was scared to drive for awhile but it’s fine now. Though, I never speed. I always pull over if it doesn’t feel right. By that I mean, if I’m tired, if there is bad weather, if my car isn’t driving properly….anything. I don’t risk it.

Other drivers seem annoyed that I’m going the speed limit but I don’t give a fuck.

One of my strategies for voting on judges is looking up who in my state appoints them. Do I trust that person to appoint reasonable judges or not? I vote to retain and dismiss judges accordingly.

I’d like to pay a reporter to ask Trump how it feels to wipe his ass with the Constitution. I’d think it would be coarse and unpleasant, but he keeps doing it.

Ill just stick with Charmin or whatever.

I like it here mostly. The police are shit tho.
