There are three voting conditions. Red, blue, no vote (generally, discounting third parties). That means non vote is half as impactful as an opposite vote. So they are about half as guilty.

Like Liz Truss to the queen.

Unfortunately, it seems we’re reaping what we sow by switching from Keynesian to Neoliberal economics. It was going ok when the demand side had money to spend. We’ve had several decades of paying for that now.

The knock on effects of substantial infrastructure interruptions like this can have massive impacts that snowball aggressively. Not saying you’re wrong, but it is nothing to scoff at. Things like this do have the potential to severely change the geopolitical landscape.

That there is never a good reason to comply is almost certainly objectively true, for one has no leverage to force compliance with the relief offered for such compliance. However, I suspect that is nearly an impossible thing to reason through under duress.

It is like saying there is no good reason to talk when getting water boarded. Well yeah, but like… good luck with holding fast while drowning.

Assets don’t have to have be in on it intentionally. A tank is an asset. A forest at the border can be an asset. But to be an agent takes volition and consensual involvement.

This is so stupid. He is an asset, whether intentionally or not. Russian media is having a heyday with him. Whether he is an “agent” or not remains ambiguous, but he is absolutely an “asset” to them.

Because he’s a greedy little pig boy.

Maybe even fifth and a half.

This same infighting comment in every single thread.

Well, that precludes being a loyalist, doesn’t it? So clearly not the group to which I was referring. No need to be reductive as I’m not claiming a binary worldview.

No party loyalist will ever admit the party is in any way culpable for its own losses.

Oh don’t mistake me for saying their hands are clean or that they aren’t exporting tons of oil. I’m just saying the oil could stop flowing and that fund would keep right on making money.

I’m not sure how all the current math shakes out, but I don’t think they do require that. The sovereign wealth fund is making more money on its investments than is being generated by the sale of oil. I think, but me and Jon Snow know all the same stuff about this.

I wonder if this is a bit of a false dichotomy. I don’t think you’ll find anybody that wants it “back how it was before”, but rather how it is going now but without all the collateral damage and arrests of innocent people.

But you still need the user accounts. Which must be created and are verified by email. Then you have to generate tokens for them to call the api endpoint to add the star. I’m not saying it isn’t doable, but it would be non-negligible and GitHub is going to squash you back at some point creating all those accounts from one source.

How would the raspberry help? It is accounts needed.
