Closing the straight is multifaceted, but yeah, hurting the global economy is pretty much their only strategy due to the asymmetric nature of this war.

I think it’s actually worse.

I don’t see how this doesn’t lead to the removal of the HBO brand from the marketplace, and the transfer of all IP, to Netflix’s algorithm driven slop machine.

Both were shitty options, this is all speculation, but something tells me that at least HBO would have survived a Comcast or Paramount acquisition, and not been converted into whatever the hell you want to call Netflix’s category of entertainment.

I only hope is that this is killed by regulators, and somehow Paramount and Comcast aren’t able to put together new bids.

But, I don’t think that’s what’s going to happen.

Not really, that term emerged out of the peak of the Mexican cartel wars of the early 2000s.

Or at least, that’s when it gained popularity.

It’s just been repurposed to fit their needs.

It means they’re preparing for expedited show trials for any plebs who protest foreign wars, or the war against the working class.

It doesn’t mean they’ll use the mechanism, but they want the option to.

It means they think it’s about to get a whole lot worse, and if it does, they won’t bother to pretend whose side they’re really on.

You’re a liar.

He was balls deep in my wife at the time this supposed murder took place.

Started off fine for roughly a dozen words, then you jump right into Bill Gates.

Bill Gates who was great friends with Jeffrey Epstein, a monopolist, and most recently, worked tirelessly to prevent the sharing of the covid vaccine technology, during the pandemic, because it would harm the profits of his friends in big pharma.

I think your world view needs adjusting.

Too soon to tell if savvy move, or a crippling lack of backbone.

You can also remove chatbot.

Acting like Buckingham Palace isn’t just one giant pederast convention.

“‘Someone’ cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second,” Bray posted on Bluesky social media. “We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’”

If there was a government stop on his travel, such as being added to a no-fly list, he wouldn’t be able to simply rebook his tickets as the article describes.

Since the article does not explicitly say how it happened, you have to read between the lines. None of what they described sounded like government persecution, but it sounds exactly like what happens when you’re targeted by 4chan for harassment.

Again, he was immediately rebooked by the airlines, and not taken away by DHS or TSA.

The article also makes it sound like the airline is in a bit of CYA mode, because at minimum they were the targets of a extremely high profile case of social engineering.

IMO it was really poor decision to make a public announcement about his intents to leave the country, prior to his actually leaving the country, especially since he’s traveling with his family.

Using Google products is implicit support for Google.

Which, by the way, I understand, but if you actually read the comments from top to bottom, you would have grasped the context.

So tell me you didn’t actually read the comment thread without telling me.

The person I was responding to was declaring that their choice to use an Android based phone makes them a more ethical consumer, and therefore a better person, then iPhone users.

That’s an absurd position, which was what my comment was highlighting.

How about you just don’t act high and mighty and pretend that your personal consumer choice of using an Android based OS somehow make you more ethical then those who use an iPhone.

Oh that’s fantastic.

Can you please tell me you’re entirely ethical smartphone setup?

Obviously you won’t have any Android in there, including Android ROMs which are based off of AOSP, as Google is just as, if not more, evil than Apple, and any project based off Google’s OS is inherently unethical.

Are you’re using a Fair Phone? If not, what ethical phone are you using?

And for your OS, is Sailfish or Ubuntu Touch?

Completely misleading headline.

It looks like someone socially engineered the canceling of his family’s trip.

At least according to this article, it was not any government action stopping him from leaving.

Probably still traumatic for them all, but they’ve already rebooked new flights, per the article.

That is completely degenerate and you should feel a deep sense of shame.

At least be polite and stick to jerking off in the empty subway cars like the rest of us.

Or at least the mostly empty ones. Juet don’t whip it out if there’s more than three people.

Not yet.

For starters, you can’t even spell québécois with the real American alphabet.

Their use of tidles alone is just cause for annexation and reeducation.

Are you suggesting that the same military that voted overwhelmingly for Trump, might be incredibly inconvenienced the proclamations of the morons he appointed?

Say it ain’t so Sally. Say it ain’t so.

How about we just take Quebec off your hands?

Now, that’s the art of the deal, problem solved.

Unless you live in Quebec, then my condolences because it’s about to get real rough for you.
