UN is a joke that should be dismantled. Its primary function apparently is to pass anti Israel resolutions and to have various dictators jerk each other off while everyone else has to tolerate it Fuck UN

might has right is now the only basis. Once there was some kind of international law, no more. Not since ruzzia invaded Ukraine. Since then what the world has learned is that only physical force has the right, go complain to the UN if you disagree.

why would I go by what trump says? His words have no meaning, we can go by what he does. Taking out Maduro shows that USA still has power, similar to what was done in Iran with the bombing, just a little more specific. Taking out maduro allows the opposition to try and come to power and obviously the US oil miners that were chased out by maduro now will be invited back, hopefully bringing oil prices lower. (hopefully, because I am for anything that reduces ruzzian ability to make money selling oil).

Trump shows that he can do what he wants even if China and Iran and ruzzia are against it and they are against it. Trump gets a few political points, gets some money from oil, gets to control the Western hemisphere. Too bad he hasn't done anything like this where it would really make a difference, in ruzzia.

I see so many crazy people comparing ruzzian invasion of Ukraine and this arrest of a specific dictator... if USA really wanted to do something useful, Trump would have arrested putin in Alaska instead of rolling out the red carpet (while yelling at Zelensky).
In any case, how about taking a logical step and doing the same thing in ruzzia, iran, north korea, cuba?

it is good that it doesn't work for everyone, otherwise the other stores would shut down reducing choices and pushing Costco towards mediocrity and would destroy prices. So thank you.

People mirror things off the Archive all the time. This show is explicitly open-licensed.

I see that you actually hate people getting around, you want them all to be ants on an ant farm, that's OK, it will pass.

Antisemite detected, hamas has land? It should only have enough land to bury each one of them.

aah, but of they would come for the communists I would definitely say a few things. Things like: excellent. I really really despise communists and socialists. Also Islamists and ruzzians.

mosquitoes and flies. All of these must be eliminated. 100%

wrong, falling prices would be a great change for the Japanese, what is constantly falling is their living standard, they have to run twice as fast just to get half of what it was and the reason is inflation of the money supply, their government hands out almost free money to anyone, keeping their zombie companies afloat artificially and supplying money for the Japanese carry trade (get credit from Japan for no intwrest and invest anywhere else, especially the USA). They are paying for their extreme Keynesianisn.

Just don't go on trips, far away, where there will not be a store for you to buy a new phone, make sure you have more than one phone to receive sms texts for your 2fa, have spares. At that point the idea that you get some benefit from not being able to pull a tiny piece of plastic from one phone and plug it into another in a second is gone. Oh, oh, stay away from Turkish banks, their mobile software demands that you turn off wifi to run the app update and if you use one phone as a hotspot and the other for banking connecting to the hotspot.. you may have issues.

Now, I did not say I am against eSIM, I said I am not buying phones with eSIM only. I use eSIM in my phone during travel to get a local number sometimes too, nothing wrong with that. But having a phone that takes multiple physical SIM cards works as well. I do not consider it progress taking choices AWAY and this stupid trend of phones with eSIM only takes away choices.

What does it have to do with the airports? How is it useful to have wifi if I need to receive some stupid 2fa sms to log into some account to change settings? Are you OK, ever go outside?

What do you mean you don't understand what I mean by 'without a working phone'? It's exactly what I said. I had all sorts of instances in the last few years where I travel and the phone dies on me for different reasons. That qualifies as 'without a working phone'. The phone had to be fixed, screens had to be changed. None of this is done in a second because I am not traveling somewhere in a comfortable street of Beijin, where a phone can be fixed in an hour at any corner, I am talking about some remote place, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Tanzania, come to mind as a few places where I traveled recently and exactly in Sri Lanka in the downpour my phone stopped working, the screen burnt out as well as parts of the main board. All I had to do was pull out the sim card and insert it into a spare phone I had on me. People, who do not live my lifestyle cannot even comprehend the types of situations I get and it's never possible to get through to a carrier representative, it's almost never an option. Don't ask me what I have to do to ensure I can bank while traveling ( and I have to move quite a bit of money every month to all sorts of destinations). No, no, eSIM crap is for you, not for me.

ha!!!! Right. So I can get stuck somewhere without a working phone and internet and to move the profile I have to access the carrier. Access them. During a trip. Without a working phone. On a weekend or some stupid ass holiday (of which there are tons every month).

Yeah, that is what I need exactly. No, I will not buy an eSIM only headache.
