The article might have been well-informed and factual
Like many substacks purporting to give health information, its a massive link dump filled with unsupported suppositions in between. Reading all the links provided would give much more accurate information.
In the final paragraphs his insistence that everyone should be keto and not use any form of sunscreen gives away the fact he’s a crank.
The point of an armorer on set is that they ensure that the guns aren’t dangerous. The typical rules about “don’t aim at something you don’t want to destroy” doesn’t apply in a movie because otherwise all the action sequences would look dumb with people firing wildly at the ground. How stupid would it look if John Wick shoots at the floor and blood spurts out of the guys face.
That said, anyone who hires a scab armorer gets what they pay for and deserve to be prosecuted.
I think its collapse-y as the idea that companies know full well the danger of these chemicals, yet they still sell them in their products perfectly characterizes why were in the situation we are currently.
That said I had no idea the clothing community existed and I like putting the spotlight on more niche communities so in the future I’ll post relevant stuff there instead.
As the US slides further towards fascist Christian Nationalism the more common restrictions like this will become.
I talked recently with a consultant who specialized in food sovereignty and security work and they didn’t see the industry as fully developed as mariculture for muscles and clams. Seafood Processing facilities are wary preparing it for market and prefer to stick to what they know. Allegedly there was only a single grower in my state who was reliably turning a profit without major subsidies. Perhaps its more developed in Europe and this is less applicable.
American Nations is probably the worst pop-history books I’ve had the displeasure of reading. Its chock full of backwards rationalizations, just-so narratives, and glaring misconstructions and omissions.
Any assessment of modern society based on this author is immediately suspect and we should honestly stop letting him write for any serious publication.
Now when I’m lazy and don’t support some standards in my open source projects, I’m just going to say its for security.
404 Media is worker owned; you should pay them.
There are plenty of known religions that share no significant similarity with Sumerian beliefs, ie basically every First Nation/Native American religious system. People have been in the Americas longer than Sumer existed.
And thats just stuff I’m even vaugely familiar with. I’d wager 0% of Subsaharan African religions, aborigional, and probably most Asian religious beliefs don’t have any Sumerian influence.
Casablanca. Its a classic.
Plenty of people rooted for the Lions and they wore brown bags over their heads.
Trump lost and people are still buying flags and hats.
I think we’ll be stuck with this cult for awhile.
I wouldn’t be so confident that his support will wane. People love a martyr and thats what hes protraying himself as.
All that isnt to say he shouldn’t be prosecuted, but I’d expect his support to jump in the short term.
They’re part of multiple mutual defense treaties, including just being part of the EU. If Russia continues to be agressive, this could well be required.
Implicitly conflates christianity and the American government
This meme is accidentally telling on itself.
Idk man, theres not too much debate on who to vote for. There’s a clear lesser evil and theres an avowed fascist. The quoted paragraph just reaffirms what his one sentence says, that voting isn’t sufficient.
I like the pamphet. I think it hits most everything important. If you only vote and the entirety of your efforts are spent on electoralism and not direct action, its a lot if wasted time. But if you cant even take 20 mins to vote every 2 years, or worse you’re advocating people who aren’t fascist sit it out, you need to rethink what you’re doing.
Ultimately, there’s no reason the strategies of voting and direct action can’t both be applied together. One does not cancel the other out.
It’s like you didn’t even look at your own pamphlet. It backs up his exact statement.
Given that this is what their lawyers have agreed to, it would be weird for an appeal.
Friendly fire was half the fun of the first game.
We are growing alfalfa in the deserts of Arizona with water from aquifers, so it sadly needs to be said.
