People have been saying “As long as no [disliked social group] exists in the Middle East, there will be no peace” for the entirety of history.

I never presented this as a dichotomy. You know, people prefer things in a certain order, right? I prefer Flatpaks and native packages over snaps and I prefer snaps to building from source.

Nothing useful for me. Given the choice I will usually pick the flatpak.

Unpopular opinion: snap is not so bad and genuinely useful for many things

I would rather have a snap than building from source or use some tar.gz archive with a sketchy install script

It seems Donald Trump has assembled a crack[pot] team of the most [in]competent people to run this country

There has not been peace in the Middle East since the Ottoman Empire and there probably never will be peace in the Middle East for at least several decades more.

You’re substantively correct on all fronts here. I was just being picky about capitalisation. I’m saying it should be “courts of New York” and “courts of Delaware” since the court system of each respective state consists of multiple different courts.

The exchange rate is basically frozen as the Russian central bank won’t allow it to be freely traded on the open market.

The Delaware Supreme Court is not called the “Court of Delaware” and it is not in charge of any case at first instance involving the entity formerly known as Twitter. Cases generally begin in the Court of Chancery. The Supreme Court is simply at the top of the stack but it doesn’t represent the entire system, which is referred to as the “judiciary of Deleware”.

You did, however, get lucky in that the state trial court of first instance in New York is called the Supreme Court of New York, although I doubt you knew the difference. If Trump appeals then it will go to the Appellate Division before reaching the New York Court of Appeal, which is the highest court of the State of New York.

No regime lasts forever and evil regimes have a tendency to be rather short-lived in the modern era.

“Court of Deleware” and “Court of New York” are not proper nouns. The state judiciaries are a collection of many courts and not a single court.

I don’t even know what the US gets in return for supporting Israel. There’s not even any oil to be had.

They get accused of war crimes every single day but nobody ever does anything about it

75 million people decided they wanted this, a bit less than that decided they didn’t, and the remainder decided they did not care enough about their country to give their opinion either way

Of all the Supreme Court precedents that are going on the chopping block, I certainly did not expect United States v. Wong Kim Ark on that list.

Taking wagers on how long it will last before Trump’s FTC revokes it

In most cases, destroying evidence will result in an adverse inference being drawn against the accused. It means that the court will assume that the evidence was incriminating which is why you destroyed it.

I don’t think anyone has been able to recreate his experiment. He’s accused of manipulating it to fit his narrative. He denies these accusations, of course.

I mean, Biden dropping out already caused a fuss with people who bought the “Don’t let the old man win” merch because it suddenly changed from an anti-Biden slogan to an anti-Trump slogan

Did he do anything besides the Stanford Prison Experiment that I just don’t know of? Because if that’s all, I’d be more inclined to say that he’s just stubbornly wrong rather than evil. But maybe you know something I don’t
