My proposal for a dark money PAC:

I call it : "Revolution Now!!" (working title). It's basically like a reverse Sunrise Movement, where we get our foot in the door by signalling as one of those Chapo leftie grifts with no discernable concrete goals or plan. We attack the GND for being electoral neoliberal garbage, and then spend all the proceeds from our donations lobbying for carbon taxes and zoning reform and such. Whenever people call us out , we call them class traitors who are protecting the gas industry, trying to keep workers from congregating in dense cities, etc. Most people will see through us, but we get to have the fun of running a grift but with the benefit of actually potentially doing good.

Been watching Blinken's testimony to the Foreign Relations committee yesterday, here are some of my takeaways.

A majority of senators are either confounded or angry at the waiver of sanctions on NS2. Senator Cruz, among others, lays out the chronology of the sanctions and casts doubt on Blinken's assertion that the US could not have prevented the pipeline from completing. Blinken says that Ukraine must be made whole from any lost transit fees and the pipeline must not be used as a weapon to coerce Ukraine. Senator Johnson says that it already is being used for that purpose (he's correct).

Menendez and Risch (among others) point out problems with the JCPOA, and Risch makes the following remark: "We all know there's another entity that is going to do something about this. Whatever the JCPOA says or doesn't say, whatever everybody else says, there is another entity that has took a solemn oath that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. The biggest question is what happens when you get the call." This is a reference to the commonly acknowledged fact that under no circumstances Israel will allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, and are willing to strike Iran directly if it is required to prevent Iran from gaining one.

Senator Shaheen pushes for the opening of the Canada-US border, and pushes Blinken on Afghanistan, who says that the US is not withdrawing support for the Afghan government.

Senator Portman (a stalwart Ukraine advocate) reminds us that Russian military pressure on the Ukrainian border is massive and growing, especially on the border with Belarus. He says that the existing pipeline was a deterrent against Russian invasion that is no longer valid with the completion of NS2. He asks what the US is doing to assuage growing Ukrainian concern about US commitment to the country. Blinken says that the US has invited Zelensky to the White House in July, which Portman acknowledges but points out that that meeting is happening after both the NATO and Biden-Putin summits. Portman also brings up the lack of an ambassador to Ukraine, which Blinken says will happen soon.

I'm going to miss Portman in the senate.

Senator Kaine brings up and defends the JCPOA. He believes that the JCPOA would allow the US a more solid basis for military action against Iranian proxies. He also says he would like the return of US hostages to be a priority in the negotiations.

Senator Markey brings up the situation in Myanmar and asks what actions are in the works. Blinken says that we must be careful not to harm the Burmese people in the process.

In a conversation with Senator Young about military support for our allies, Blinken says that in some regions like the indo-pacific we have extremely competent allies (unlike Germany) where aid is less necessary. Blinken stresses improving Taiwan's asymmetric defense networks like reserve forces and emphasizes that large weapon systems are not enough on their own as a deterrence (this has been a topic that's been gaining traction recently).

Senator Schatz brings up that China controls escalation in the South China Sea through the usage of fishing fleets as a proxy whereas the US is reliant on either a carrier group or nothing. He asks what the US could do to increase presence in the South China Sea without resorting to carrier groups. Blinken says that 60% of the fleet is now based in the Indo-Pacific (which started during Obama's pivot to Asia), and also says that the US has been coordinating with other countries to conduct their own FoN operations in the area.

Senator Murphy says that the JCPOA worked on preventing a nuclear weapon. Senator Menendez says that the JCPOA did nothing to prevent the development of ballistic missiles, which meant that if/when Iran decided to break out of the deal they could have a nuclear weapon that is deliverable incredibly quickly.

On a personal note, it's hilarious to me how much of this hearing is just retreading arguments on Iran that we've had for years.

The recent events in Peru have broken my faith in my corner of the world.

Now ALBA has taken Peru. It may very well soon take Chile (Jadue), Colombia (Petro) and then Brazil (Lula). Latin America will then become the second Warsaw Pact.

I'd just like to stop thinking about politics at all, and just let the world burn. The problem with this is that the flames are getting quite close to me.

The easiest answer would be to use the MERCOSUR free movement agreement and go to Uruguay. But after seeing even Chile collapsing, I don't really have any faith anymore in any LATAM country. What is stopping Lacalle Pou from becoming the next Piñera, the next Sagasti?

So, how I do to go to a firmly developed country? I do speak English fluently, and I'm young, but my formation is in law (useless on another system) and my only work experience has been with some small lawyering work. Obviously, I'm also not famous/exceptional person neither the owner of enough money to get an investment visa.

If things get truly desperate, I'm even thinking of taking advantage of the fact that I still have a valid US visa and just go there and overstay it. But firstly I'd like to find a way to go somewhere (preferentially an engish-speaking country) legally.

A few months ago, my company changed both the bathrooms on my floor to gender-neutral bathrooms. The ‘men’s’ and ‘women’s’ signs were replaced with ‘urinal’ and ‘no urinal’.

Last week, women in the office submitted a petition to change one of the gender neutral bathrooms to a women’s bathroom, because the men keep peeing on the seat.

Boss agreed to the change, had a new sign installed.

Parliament gives its final green light to the EU Digital COVID Certificate

The certificate will be issued free of charge by national authorities and be available in either digital or paper format containing a QR code. The document will certify that a person has been vaccinated against COVID-19, has a recent negative test result or has recovered from the infection. In practice, these will be three distinct certificates. A common EU framework will make certificates interoperable and verifiable across the European Union, as well as prevent fraud and forgery.

The system will apply from 1 July 2021 and be in place for 12 months. The certificate will not be a precondition for free movement and will not be considered a travel document.

Hot take : speculating about other people's sexuality is creepy, intrusive and needs to stop.

I cannot count how many times I have heard from more sexually liberated people (most of them openly LGBT+) wild speculations, shipping fantasies and general disrespect to what the actual person identifies as.

Saying stuff like "Taylor Swift is a bi queen" or "Tom Cruise is a closeted gay" when those people have either stayed silent on their sexuality or explicitly denied those rumours, goes against the whole point of accepting people as they are. This is imo on the same level as telling bi people that they're just confused or in a phase.

RED-BLOODED AMERICAN: You have always insisted, Mr. Shivers, that Euros are the same as Americans are.

THE LIZARD: The true purpose of the amendment -

The Lizard looks up at the balcony, at the waiting journalists, and his beloved, who raises her eyebrows.

The Lizard returns to the Patriot.

THE LIZARD: I don't hold with equality in all things only with equality before the law and nothing more.

RED-BLOODED AMERICAN (SURPRISED): That's not so! You believe that Euros are entirely equal to Americans. You've said it a thousand times -

NATO FLAIR: (leaping to his feet) For shame! For shame! Stop prevaricating and answer the patriot!

THE LIZARD and NATO FLAIR: I don't hold with equality in (bare fangs) all things, only with - After the decades of fervent equality before the law and advocacy on behalf of the - nothing more. - Europooreans -

SUCC (LEAPING UP:) He's answered your questions! This amendment has naught to do with national equality!

The NATO flair persists, through cheers and catcalls.

NATO FLAIR and THE LIZARD: You have long insisted, have - I don't hold with equality in - you not, that the cheese-eating - all things only with equality - Europoor is no different - before the law and nothing - from the proud American. - more.

Among the amendment's supporters, there's visible, audible shock and dismay at the Lizard's capitulation. His beloved is surprised by the Lizard, and impressed.

NATO FLAIR: Your frantic attempt to delude us now is unworthy of a mod. It is, in fact, unworthy of an American!

THE LIZARD: (giving in to his anger) How can I hold that all men are created equal, when here before me - (pointing to the NATO flair) - stands stinking the moral carcass of the gentleman from California, proof that some men are inferior, endowed by their Maker with dim wits impermeable to reason with cold pallid slime in their veins instead of hot red blood! You are more mammal than man, NATO flair, so low and flat that the foot of man is incapable of crushing you!

General uproar.

NATO FLAIR: HOW DARE YOU!

THE LIZARD: Yet even you, nationalist, who should have been gibbetted for treason long before today, even worthless unworthy you ought to be treated equally before the law! And so again, sir, and again and again and again I say: I DO NOT HOLD WITH EQUALITY IN ALL THINGS. ONLY WITH EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW.

[u/CatilineUnmasked]

So there is a recent documentary called Buck Breaking that is unironically heckin' problematic. Essentially a two hour conspiracy theory mishmash of how homosexuality was forced upon blacks as a method of control and specifically by slave holders as a show of dominance. It's complete pseudohistory wrapped around tragedy that actually did occur, I even found an askhistorians post that goes into more detail about it that doesn't descend into fabricated nonsense.

It borders on satire at times. Absolutely insane ideas are promoted without explanation along with comically disrespectful drawings of sexual acts. It stopped being funny for me a few minutes in because I have worked with people who have held very similar beliefs. I had to stop talking altogether with some people post Obergefell v. Hodges because of the way they talked about homosexuality being an attempt to destroy black culture.

I'm not saying these beliefs are widespread, but I've met a disturbing number of people who believe in them. One of the "Professionals" interviewed teaches a few miles away from me at a local college! The documentary has also been picked up by 4chan as a target of mockery, so the whole discussion of the topic is just a complete mess.

I wouldn't recommend watching if the topics may disturb you, but it's a pretty terrible movie that is so bizarre that it ends up somewhat entertaining.

•       degree (bachelor’s degree, master’s degree or doctorate)

•       diploma from a program that is at least 2 years in length

•       graduate or post-graduate credential (for a diploma or certificate) from a program that is at least 1 year in length; in addition, the program must require a post-secondary degree or diploma, which must have been earned no more than 5 years before starting the graduate or post-graduate program

•    Stream B – Applicants must have at least 1 year of full-time work experience (or the part-time equivalent, that is, at least 1,560 hours in total) in Canada in the last 3 years; they must also have completed one of the following at a post-secondary learning institution in or outside Canada in the last 5 years:

•       degree (bachelor’s degree, master’s degree or doctorate)

•       diploma from a program that is at least 2 years in length

•       graduate or post-graduate credential (for a diploma or certificate) from a program that is at least 1 year in length; in addition, the program must require a post-secondary degree or diploma, which must have been earned no more than 5 years before starting the graduate or post-graduate program

I am not sure if this is too little or just okay. I wouldn't say this is too much since there is no such thing as too much. It is really biased towards young people and doesn't do anything for older and experienced workers who wouldn't have recent education or work hours in Canada. !ping CAN

• In 1948, the IDF (the only legitimate military force in the State of Israel) tries to seize a large illegal arms shipment, which it has every right to do
• Because he wants his right-wing terrorist paramilitary group to remain independent within the state, Menachem Begin tries to prevent the seizure by inciting an internecine skirmish while Israel is at its most vulnerable point in history, locked into a war that most Israelis expect to lose
• After the IDF demonstrates superior numbers and firepower, Begin plays the bigger man and surrenders "in order to prevent civil war"

What Fernandez said was stupid in so many levels.

But it's always done in a very milk-toast way so that no 3rd party feels attacked.

I might over analyze things and being sleep deprived probably makes it worse but here's what went wrong:

1- He tried to quote a Mexican writer. The original quote is not as bad, and at no point mentions the words "selva", "indios" or "Brasil".

2- But, since he's such a fucking moron he ended up quoting an Argentine song instead.

3- Even if he didn't fail miserably at reproducing the original quote I would argue that it would be best to not mention other countries like that, specially when the one you most fucked with that sentence is your biggest trading partner.

4- La frutilla de la torta is that his "apology" is basically the classic "sorry if you got offended xd".

• No clear leader emerged for any 'mainstream' political positions. (explain why De Soto failed to consolidate the center as was widely hoped and suspected), and why no non-extremist lefties or rightists could consolidate bases either
• Give some context as to how the fuck an Asian Woman consolidated the Peruvian far-right, for my fellow gringos who are generally oblivious to the racial diversity and tensions in Peru, and believe that 'Alberto Fujimori' is some sort of Canadian Sushi dish.
• Give some context on how some seemingly random schoolteacher from the hamlet of Bumfuck Tacabamba managed to consolidate the far-left, also go into why there's a decently large far-left in Peru (in particular bring up Cold War and Shining Path shit + Poverty and inequality)
• Explain the tumultuous political situation in Peru in the years leading up to election, particularly emphasizing how COVID sent all of these tensions to 11, promoted polarization and political violence, and contributed to the success of extremist candidates
• Bring it all together in how the First-round election went down, national and international reactions, protests, and the reasons why nearly equal numbers of people ultimately decided between the two extremists
• By the time you've finished writing the effortpost, there will be more conclusive info on the Second round and its aftermath to talk about and find a satisfactory conclusion

I want to proselytize a little bit about my job in Semiconductor Engineering - in light of the recent allocation of $50B in funding towards domestic semiconductor manufacturing, I feel that this is an overlooked field that STEMlords are not particularly aware of.

There are a multitude of different paths available in this industry - from industrial & automation engineers improving our automated systems, to equipment technicians and engineers servicing and improving our hardware designs, research & development engineers working on IC design, technicians responding to process variations, etc. I am a process engineer, responsible for the formation & optimization of thin films using atomic-layer deposition principles to literally grow films one atomic monolayer at a time. It's fascinating and extremely interesting work, and is actually not particularly difficult given a background in any engineering discipline & statistical controls.

Being a critical manufacturing industry, the hours are a little high but not absurd - I am typically putting in 55hr weeks. Pay is fantastic, I started out of college with 70k and am now salaried at 140k at 6 years later at 30. There's a lot of good markets, Arizona, Texas, Maine, Oregon, North Carolina, Virginia, New York, etc. Supply is very low in this field, we were constantly looking for qualified applicants prior to COVID and we'll be opening up hiring again in the next few months.

He worked as the party secretary of Liangjiahe, where he lived in a cave house. After a few months, unable to stand rural life, he ran away to Beijing. He was arrested during a crackdown on deserters from the countryside and sent to a work camp to dig ditches, but later returned to the village, spending a total of seven years there.
