Nature is a peer-reviewed journal. One of the most well-known, in fact.

Yeah, way better to stay on Facebook and Nextdoor and deal with actual literal fascists.

Yeah, the US is the only thing keeping Israel in business. They're useful to keep an eye on Iran, because we don't like Iran, because...?

Saudis need our weapons, and Qatar likes the money we spend to keep our increasing number of bases there. But these are purely transactional relationships that we can have with anyone.

I think Kuwait are still fans of the US.

Other than that, everyone hates us because we protect Israel, and they hate Israel. Why don't we just join the club, and pick up an entire region of strategic allies instead of "Israel at all costs"?

I received these about once a week when I was a Spectrum customer. Since I dumped them when ATT fiber became available, I now receive them three times a week.

It was great when Ohlmeyer went on Colbert Report and got mocked for saying NBC was going to lose money on the Winter Olympics. Colbert did a fund drive to help, and presented him with a giant check for like $5.08

It's also great that he's been dead since 2017. Conan was right when he called him one of the silverback gorillas running TV.

It's one of the better -isms currently available.

Workers owning the means of production is the way it should be. Until we can mature further.

Hope springs eternal. Most people without an adblocker don't even notice that their web experience has become an ad-ridden hellscape.

And if your bootloader is unlocked, VZ is likely to lock you out of VoLTE/HD Voice/WiFi calling/etc.

I mean, you could go to T-Mobile who don't currently play these specific games with devices, but then you're trading coverage for features/freedom.

All carriers, wired and wireless, need to be regulated as DUMB PIPES. Title 2 for everyone. That's what we're paying for: Not "the Verizon experience" or "the pride and accomplishment of being an AT&T customer." Let me buy a phone, and do with it whatever it is technologically capable of doing on your network. The network provider doesn't need to provide any Android/iOS tech support if they keep it simple and stay out of the customer-fuckery business.

Warning about bringing an unlocked phone to Verizon (even if it's a current flagship Apple/Samsung/Google device): 50/50 they'll lock you out of WiFi calling/HD voice, etc. Because they're dicks.

I know we have outposts in Israel keeping an eye on - as an example - Iran and shit, but why do we have to be enemies with Iran in the first place? Our situation with Israel just seems like a pointless one-way relationship that only serves to further alienate the rest of the middle east from us.

The US doesn't have any strategic benefit in propping up Israel other than doing so being weirdly important to white voters.
