Allow me to posit the following: we could very well be minding our own business but still strongly influence the rest of the world. For example, if a company wishes to do business in America -- the world's largest and most lucrative commercial market -- they must comply with US laws. This is no different than any other country. You may not like it, but that's how commercial business works, and it'd be no different if someone like North Korea had the market everyone wanted. You'd just be complaining about a different country.

Don't like it? Don't do business in the US and you're free to do whatever you want. You'll be excluding yourself from probably 70% of the available market, but you're free to make that choice.

Don't forget, your argument can be turned around quite easily: you could mind your own business and stop trying to tell the US how to do business according to your wants/needs. Funny how that works.

You're blissfully unaware of how national sovereignty works.

Good luck getting the US to accommodate an Interpol extradition request for 4chan and its personnel. There's no reason the US would agree to it since 4chan has violated no US law. So long as 4chan operates in the US exclusively and violates no US laws, they are effectively beyond the reach of the UK government. They could presumably nab some 4chan executive if they ever visited the UK, but all one has to do to avoid that is just not visit the UK.

This is how international legal disputes have been handled since the dawn of international legal disputes. Don't trust me, look it up, I'm sure chatgpt can fill you in.

It's about time they admitted to something that was obvious to almost everyone: nuclear power is the only effective path to carbon-free base load power generation. Wind and solar make good intermittent sources, but base load has to be utterly reliable regardless of whether the wind is blowing or the sun is shining. That's nuclear.

Getting rid of the nukes was a knee-jerk reaction, not a smart technological decision. The pivot to depending on oil and gas from a potential hostile neighbor just added to the madness.

And a douche bag of a president who drops bombs next to schools and kills 135 kids . Should resign on the spot for that.

Look up "human shields", the practice of siting military targets among (or in or under) large collections of non-military civilians, in order to deter strikes against them or produce propaganda claims of atrocities when they're attacked anyhow.

In such situations the fault for the "collateral damage" is assigned to the side that set up the arrangement, not the side that hit it.

Nevertheless, it should be noted that the US has been trying very hard to use precision munitions and extreme military intelligence to take out military targets with as little harm to the innocents they're embedded among as possible, with impressive success. Compare the amount of collateral damage in this war to any of those conducted in the 20th century.

He's doing the bare minimum sniff test of verifying that *you* are the guy whose name is on the bookings and not someone sneaking in on someone else's name who can't even pronounce the name on your fake id.

At least in the case of people claiming to be returning citizens I've been told that they're comparing your accent to your claimed residence (or residence history).

Different words are acquired at different ages, and many are pronounced with regional variations. An expert can talk to you for a few minutes and come up with a pretty good age-map of where you lived as you grew up. An agent with a modicum of training can detect a mismatch between how you pronounce certain words and your claimed residence and pass you through quickly or keep you around and drill more deeply. (If you now live in an area with a regional accent wildly different from where you grew up it can help to answer a where-do-you-reside question with "Footown, but I grew up in Barstate".)

I presume they are doing something similar, though no doubt with lower resolution, on the world-wide level for visitors from other countries.

He financed, produced, starred in, and distributed the film completely independent from the "Hollywood System". For God's sake, how much less "sucked in" can a person be and still have the means to do it at all???

Give the man some credit.

William Shatner is a classically trained Shakespearean actor who appeared in festivals and on Broadway prior to switching from stage to television. His TOS enunciation and emphasis is due mostly to his experience with radio performances (which were over the top verbally) combined with directors on TOS constantly telling him to increase the astonishment. And in reality, wasn't anywhere near as pervasive or dramatic as the pop culture version that pokes fun at Kirk.

Just a reminder that the Jew Ghislaine Maxwell, whose father helped to found Israel, was a powermod on Reddit who had the power to censor /news, /worldnews, /politics and a few others.

The real party is on X, if you're not there you're missing out.

Remember when Digg chimped out and everyone left to join Reddit?

That moment passed some years ago. Now Reddit mods have been caught red-handed luring children to their houses to inject them with SUPER GIRL JUICE aka trans hormones. Without parental knowledge or consent, kind of like how California public schools do.

Is Al Gore a scientist?

Nope. STFU nerd

acetaldehyde is a Class A carcinogen, which means it does nothing but mutate cells.

If you drink, support ALDH enzyme activity. The enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) converts acetaldehyde into harmless acetate. Nutrients help your liver metabolize the harmful alcohol. Vitamin B1. Alcohol depletes thiamine, which supports liver function. Take a B-complex vitamin before drinking.

Zinc and Magnesium: These minerals support ALDH activity. Eat zinc-rich foods (e.g., oysters, nuts) or take 15-30 mg zinc, 200-400 mg magnesium.

The science and research that couldn't tell us what a woman is?

The one that prescribed chemical castration drugs to little boys?The science that performed elective cosmetic pediatric double mastectomies on healthy girls?

It also couldn't identify that covid came from a lab, despite the fact it contains genetic sequences not found in nature.

That science and research?

Besides, the planet is overpopulated, especially by high-consumption AmeriKKKans, especially racist white males. How is having fewer of them a bad thing?

In the last invasion of Russia, this happened too. Hydraulic fluid became thick and caused engines to seize up, tank treads were thin instead of wide and got bogged down in snow and especially mud. We had to light fires under our dive bomber engines to heat them up to even get them to start.

And to top it all off, our leaders didn't even equip our armies with winter coats, thinking that we'd take Moscow before summer was over. That turned into a disaster, Russia seized half of Europe and America had to fight a Cold War to get it back and make sure the loans our banks had extended would be repaid.

America was never great. The US you're talking about was the one with Jim Crow, KKK, lynchings and what Trump is inflicting on us again with ICE.

Who asked you if you care? Texas isn't the rest of the planet. Well bless your heart, why don't you fuck all the way off, the door is right there, don't let it hit you on the ass on the way out!

This is from now on the stock response to "I don't live in the US but I think..."

Fuck off we don't care.

Slashdot is an AmeriKKKan site, that's why you can speak freely. If it were an Australian site you wouldn't be able to say "globalize the intafada."

Try that on any of your country's sites. I dare you. I double dare you.

AmeriKKKan freedom doesn't come from any government. It comes from God. The Constitution merely states that the government may not infringe on this God-given right.

What you have isn't freedom. It's loose handcuffs. I suggest China instead of Japan, it will be good when you become a province later this century.

After all, you told the AmeriKKKans to fuck right off with their Navy ships and disbanded your air force as a useless expense. Zai Jian!
