wtf is poland going to do

Get invaded, going 3 for 3 in countries invaded during World Wars

Edit: I apparently struck a nerve. It was 100% a joke, similar to the classic "What's Germany's favorite pastime? Invading Poland"

Beats, Bears, Battlestar Galactica

I was about to ask if you were mistakenly talking about Dune

Great observation! MAGA likes to be blindfolded when they're being fucked.

He'd have trouble spoiling meat sitting in the sun. He out-crazied MAGA, no one wants anything to do with him.

Has anyone actually read it? Opinions on it?

I was thinking the same thing. Climate change won't make them take action on fossil fuels, but fuck around with politics and now they have a "legitimate" reason to do something.

"say Chinese state media and commentators."

No bias to be seen here

That's the thing about campaigns, right? It's good to know when to put characters to rest and start with a new story.

I get what you're saying. He was a kid and probably had a fucked up childhood that led to everything. It's rare that people like that develop in a vacuum. But that's an explanation of how he got here, not an excuse.

Now he's an adult. There are definitely people on the right using him, but he made the decision to let them. He could have easily slunk into the shadows and gone on with his life. Instead, he felt the court acquittal wasn't enough and had to continue to prove he was right for his actions on the public stage. That's his choice and his alone.

He deserves the ridicule.

If Constellation on Apple TV is right, then it's an indication that the person has become quantum entangled with their alternative self in another universe.

Good show btw if you are looking for something more psychological with a sci-fi background.

One thing to remember is the supreme Court blocked him from cancelling all student debt.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/30/politics/supreme-court-student-loan-forgiveness-biden/index.html

So the timeline (from my memory as I recall it):

• forgiveness program introduced several administrations ago for public service workers
• Trump administration found to essentially not forgiving any loans over technicalities
• Biden comes into office with promise to correct
• Biden tries to correct in 2022
• GOP sues
• Supreme court blocks Biden's efforts in 2023, stating their method was overstepping their powers
• Biden administration uses existing executive powers to move forward with efforts

From personal experience, refunds aren't off the table. My wife has been a nurse for over 10 years. She just got a refund check from the Treasury stating that she over paid on her student loans. It wasn't an insignificant amount.

Honestly, I wish more news sites would refrain from naming party affiliation. It forces people to think of the content of the statements first.

Punchline goes in the description

Lie is a tough word to use in law and journalism. To accuse someone of lying you have to prove intent to tell the lie vs being truly mistaken.

For example, if I say the Earth is flat am I lying or mistaken? If I truly believe that, then it's not a lie, even though facts clearly say otherwise. I'm just not aware or choose to disagree with those facts.

It's maddening. I'm with you and wish journalists would use harsher language in obvious cases, but I understand why they tend not to as a standard to ensure they're not opening themselves up to claims of liable and defamation.

Isn't this pretty much expected from them by now? They're like that one neighborhood dog that has to bark at you the entire time you're walking by their fence.

Yes, I'm here to ensure that dad jokes are delivered with the proper pun-ctuality and finesse!

If you're using it as a dumb TV, unless it shipped some critical firmware issue that prevents core functions from working (like HDMI input, switching inputs, etc) there shouldn't ever be a reason to update it out of the box.

I've used smart TV's for 10+ years now and figured this out of the awful experience from the first one. Never had any issues with the ones I've never connected to the Internet.
