>>9471 Uber is talking about the people who are also in some kind of support for Trump. The poster says he's essentially snitching on the whole squad because people don't really like the Uber CEO. During the JFK protest, the Taxi union (can't remember the name) in NYC decided to hold a protest/strike thing. Uber decided that this was a good time to lower its prices in the area.
People were pissed as fuck and #DeleteUber started to trend. So here, you can see all the people that uber is listing as "with him on Trump".

The United States will switch course on climate change and pull out of a global pact to cut emissions, said Myron Ebell, who headed U.S. President Donald Trump's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) transition team until his inauguration.

Donald Trump's ban on travel to the US from some Muslim-majority countries has been denounced by the UN's rights chief as "mean-spirited" and illegal under international human rights law.

I wonder how many things the new law //EO will break. It's going to be really funny. ...it's not going to be funny >>9517 You know that "list" they've been waving around saying "OBAMA MADE THE LIST NOT TRUMP". Well, here we go: https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/158 >H.R.158 - Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015 This is where the "list" originates. Mind you, you should already be able to see the FIRST DIFFERENCE between this and Trump's EO. This went through Congress first (Sponsor: Rep. Miller, Candice S. [R-MI-10]) and then signed by Obama. It went through review of the reps. In the bill, it amends our visa program and also prohibits people from being able to participate in it if they have been in one of those countries past a certain date. The bill also "specifically" says that the prohibition does not apply to aliens who were in those countries for the purpose of military service towards us or other program countries affiliated in the waiver.
So what he did was >lift the prohibited list from the DHS >ban EVERYONE for 90 days >ban Syria INDEFINITELY >blame choices on Obama's admin >say 9/11 is the reason it's necessary
Kirara☆
Yeah. Trump pretty much grabbed the list from that even though it was originally for something else I don't know if he's just really bad or acting stupid on purpose

there is one thing about the refugee and immigration issue as a whole that i feel pretty strongly about and it's that allowing countries to send people away or
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Seriously it works way too well as a rule >if culprit is known but race is not told >is always minority
desync allowing counrtries to fail to keep their citizens within their own country is not something that helps the world at large the reason immigration and refugees happen is because these countries are poorly ran and provide shitty lives for their citizens it should not then become a problem of the countries that provide good lives for their citizens to have to deal with
i do believe that these countries should be worked with to improve their situation and to stop creating an atmosphere that entices refugees and emigrants i also do believe that many of the systems in place that are due to muslim culture and law are restrictive to those countries' progress it is almost kind of appalling to me that the quest for "diversity" beats out common sense in the particular case of islam and it's effects on the countries it dominates the particularly conservative countries with governments based highly on muslim values are absolutely problematic to the ideas of homosexuality, women's rights, abortion, the needs of the financially disadvantaged, worker's rights..

From the look of it, you start off right as Oda Nobunaga is beginning his snowball into almost completely unifying Japan.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Kinda suits though I doubt the game has a honnouji event built into it
Anno
I got to visit Honnouji--or at least the temple that now stands on its grounds while I was in Kyoto. Didn't even realize I'd visited it until I'd made a full round of the temple grounds and passed by the English info-panel on my way out, hah hah.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Lel you suck at history have you even watched anime?
Anno
It's really not in an obvious place anymore. You get to Honnouji by pretty much just turning off a shoutengai street. It's as inconspicuous as pretty much any minor temple in the city. Which is kind of weird being Honnouji.
>>9708 Yeah but even series like Seitokai no Yakuindomo hammer the honnouji thing in
YuuAnno
>>9710 It's been almost seven years since Seitokai no Yakuindomo. I don't necessarily remember details from anime I watched last year, let alone seven.
Also I KNOW, that Honnouji was where Nobunaga was betrayed and killed. What I didn't know was that this temple I aimlessly walked into was Honnouji until after I was leaving. If I'd caught the English info-panel (which is the only location that really had the name in English and not Kanji) before I'd gone in, I'd probably have been a lot more thorough of it.

Honnouji is closer to downtown Kyoto than the major temples too. The city has pretty much grown to engulf it entirely. Like I said, you turn off a shoutengai street, clustered with shops and whatnot, to get to it.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
wow sausage japanese they even build practically on a temple ground

though how do japs treat nobu as a historical figure?

Catching this sign on the way out is pretty much the only reason I realized it was Honnouji and not just another one of the many minor temples in Kyoto.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I also wonder what the traitor thought Did he seriously think the two other major followers would just bow to him and not either take the chance to seize it all or betray him in succession?
Anno
It looks like, from the Wiki article on him, that it was more an emotional response to Nobunaga's actions harming his family. He fully expected at least one Nobunaga's other high retainers to come for his head, but expected him to be tied up in a different war until it was too late.

The Google Nexus/Pixel phones are all pretty solid, but the more recent ones might be outside your price range. Huawei phones seem to be doing well; they've been a solid part of the Chinese phone industry for a while but broke into North America fairly recently.
Besides that, HTC and LG both make Android phone lines that seem well enough. Look at what Android phones your carrier supports and pick and choose between which one fits your needs.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
The Pixel is the best Android phone on the market right now. I have an S7 and it's pretty good. A Samsung S7.
The general way people talk about the market right now is S7 vs Pixel vs iPhone
Anno
The only thing I'd say against Samsung phones is that they come with a lot of bloatware, Putting aside their tablet meme, their phones are solid constructs and generally come with decent feature-price ratios, but if you don't want your phone coming with a lot of needless software that will probably be heckling you for use until you forcibly remove it, then you might want to look elsewhere.

>>9773 >Putting aside their tablet meme, their phones are solid constructs Only a single model of their tablet did.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>9783 It is illegal to sell those phones. Samsung does not currently have any phones or devices that have been known to burst into flames or explode for sale.
It was a Note, which is kind of between a phone and a tablet.

If the Pixel seems good to you but your carrier doesn't provide it, the Nexus 6p, Google's previous phone line flagship, is pretty close in specs. It's the phone I have and I've been very pleased with it.
>>9791 Well in Rika's case it sounds like she can pick any phone in the store for her upgrade since she's so behind on them. So it's not an extra cost really.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I don't see a point in paying more than 200 for your phone
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>I don't see why you would want to own anything other than a flipphone
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Oh right, in usa phones are ridiculously expensive.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
How much does a LG spirit cost there?
Anno
I can't even find a price I think because it's a discontinued product.

>>9783 that's not an issue for anything you're looking at buying that was the galaxy note 7 anything that did have or will have that same issue has been given a firmware update that bricks the device entirely for safety
Yuu
Oh I see. Well I'll drop by and get one of those tomorrow.
>>9797 i dont know if they still have them, but they did have the razor Xtra or something like that razors are old as fuck, but it had like a super fat back on it that made the battery last like three times as long plus the slide-out keyboards are way nicer than touch imo
月
they might have that same fat battery feature on some newer phones, i mean
>>9807 there are free-with-contract phones, or discount with contract it's expensive to buy one flat out it's affordable to sign a contract and get one and actually, when my phone broke on my old contract, they just had me mail it to them and they sent me a new one, no problem
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
They recently made it a law or edict or whatever the term is, that phones must be sold without a contract, though contract+phone packages can exist.
月
>>9811 the law is that there must be the option to buy a phone without a contract? or the law is that you cannot sell a phone with a contract? the wording there is confusing sorry
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
former though it practically is the latter the moment the "this phone is 200€ but with this contract 120€" got removed, no one anymore bought those so the packages got removed nowadays it pretty much is "buy 200€ phone and get a 2 year contract for 0€ a month for first 6 months and then 20€ a month for the remainer time"
月
i mean you can buy them without a contract here some aren't available with contract but it's just always a better deal to get it with contract
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Nowadays it also sucks, that it is really hard to get a good contract, ISP or phone, that does not require you to marry it for 2+ years.
Anno
I had to buy my first phone with my carrier outright, so I wasn't locked into a contract. Plus sticking with them for a couple years let me buy my current phone at a bit of a discount. Shame they still have wonky as fuck and limited network.

>>9866 there's not always high job security in construction usually it's per-project it's not worth doing, in my opinion. I'm not saying they dont work hard -- they do but it's not like other professions dont work hard

>>9871 Yup it was a fun one compared to ww10 didn't last that long and only involved two countries as everyone else was dead
I appreciate it bud this month was a slow month, like 800 dollaridoos total not even on the 15th, by comparison, i'm getting a 1500 dollar paycheck and that' // that's just half of the month that's about on track for normal, and hopefully things stay that steady

That's pretty nice
Ohhh People were complaining about transcribing toay A bunch of people didn't sleep because they thought they could do it in a hour wwww
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
So are you then going to buy suupah expensive food items again and ton of cheese?
月
>>9876 it feels like it, but even that's sub 40k yearly that's really not where i want to be at this age >>9877 i don't really waste money on food the issue is never that i've wasted $40 on cheese it's that i am consuming $40 worth of cheese there's something inherently wrong with that >>9876 haha what did they say?
for the record, I did 22 hours of audio this past two weeks
Kirara☆
They were talking about how they wished they could pay for transcription wwwww They were like "this is absurd it takes so long to do, why can't we pay?"
月
>>9879 My rate is a dollar a minute a dollar fiddy if you want it the same day
would it have been worth it to you to pay $30 and have that file back the next day? but i'm experienced at it and can easily shovel out 20 minutes per hour on average, so one hour of audio takes me roughly three hours I'd have been doing each of their half-hour interviews in 30 minutes, assuming it's DIALOGUE THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH and not stopping to do an activity in between questions
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Hmm, but why did you have to do a transcription of a thing for a course. That kinda seems like a waste of time if you ask me.
月
>>9880 //err, each of their 30-minute interviews in an hour and a half i fucked that up
Kirara☆
>>9880 Yeah no activities or anything We each have three more transcriptions to do over the semester I'll advertize for you a bit wwww
月
hahaha good luck! I think that's great, though You learn more from it for transcribing than from executing the interview, IMO like i said before, a lot of journalists do their own transcriptions just to get a more accurate feel of what the conversation was, rather than how they may have felt at the time >>9885 I learn a lot from it, not going to lie. especially when i have 10+ projects from the same person, over 10 interviews I feel like I could write their report for them
Kirara☆
Yeah, I agree Transcribing it sucked but it was a good experience
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Why not make this a business deal and mats here markets moon's services to the cohort

>>9885 I remember my first half-hour long job before i even started with this company it took me so long and it was miserable I didn't think I wanted to continue with the job path, it was just a temporary thing at that freelance company but now i do like 2-3 hours of files a day and don't really even think about it like ive got 3 hours tomorrow and the next day, and i'm just like, "Oh, okay. I've got work. Time to take it easy for the night and relax" and tomorrow I'll hit it and won't even think about it until it's over
Kirara☆
I don't think I could manage work like that haha
月
It's more interesting when you're not transcribing something you've already done A lot of the stuff I do is market research, mainly pharmaceutical industries calling up doctors and talking about potential new drugs and at first I was stressed out because of all the pharma technical terminology but now i'm like, "Whoa, this is cool I want to hear more"
Kirara☆
I'm really bad at working from home Too easily distracted I even have to go into a room with no computer just to read textbooks
>>9896 I had that problem, but I've adapted. I work on a web-based editor so that i can keep tabs open to tab over and google for research, or check moe, or see what new email i've gotten and it literally takes less than a minute to do all of those, and then i tab back and keep working it's a little bit of a motivator in a sense, because i can make a post on /moe/ and then tab back and work while i wait for new posts -- which, during the day, is kind of scarce

>>9902 I think you could You're easily interested in stuff Once you got involved enough in a long project, you'd probably be more interested in it than the things going on around you'd still engage in the other things, but just as short distractions, not as an escape from something that's a chore
that's how it's become for me, anyway plus, keeping a 20-minute/hour pace means a $20/hour pace, and that's really not too bad. The taxes make it rough, but it's good pay for me I use deadlines as major procrastination leverage, too. If I was working right now, I'd be distracted as hell. If I start tomorrow and know I have two days to do 24 hours worth of work, I can guarantee I will limit how distracted i get
>>9910 You know how employers pay half of the fico tax? I'm self-employed, so I pay that all myself I don't even know what percent that is, but I think it's like 16%? and then the other taxes so whatever someone employed on a w2 bases would be paying for taxes, +8% of their income some other transcriber I know said she pays roughly 35% of her income on taxes i dont know where she lived though thankfully tennessee has no state tax
i'm definitely filing for an extension though even if i have enough to pay in april, that will fucking ruin me to shell out that much. I'd have to save up 5k by april probably in order to do that i'm not gonna do that
>>9916 yeah, I'd rather buy some fucking health insurance real health insurance, not a health discount plan i got scammed by that shit last time because the insurance broker didn't clearly identify that it was NOT an insurance plan to me but because of that, I got refunded on it and got my money back but health discount savings shit is the worst it was super embarrassing, i went to buy my scripts and they're like, "This isn't an insurance card. I dont even know what this is." and i'm like "uh okay" fuck i want my damned benzos
Kirara☆
I remember thay That Didn't know you got a refund though, that's good

>>9923 It's probably less surprising for Canadians. Quebec as a provincve -province is a very nationalist-based province, and tend to be more for culture preservation instead of being open for new culture. Or well, used to.

I don't really want to talk politics but that whole operation was set up while obama was president and trump signs the order and it goes and two people die and the media goes crazy like nobody died during military operations carried out by every president before now I hope that the media and the new administration can work out their differences soon because the conflict is annoying.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Well the media will hung onto any smallest slight trump will do and make a mountain out of a molehill and purposefully misinform the public about it. >>9949 Well people died in a military operation, how is that surprising?

Oh, that's actually pretty soon. I still haven't made up my mind on it yet though.
Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
i got a wii u so my body is ready
Yuu
I like Nintendo's handheld title lineup a lot more than the home console lineup. I hope that they bring a lot of the normally mobile stuff to the Switch. I'll buy in that case.
Anno
*tips driver* >>10141 How long has the wii u been out?
I'm excited for it, but I'm a big fire emblem fan.
AnnoSamurai !KW2DbpWwlsYuu
I remembered something like that today. but now I can't remember what it was. Having a bad memory is a blessing sometimes.
Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
Maybe I'll run the whole game
Yuu
Is that the second game?
Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
Yeah the open world version

>trying to help someone who can't figure out basic stuff on their own
Yaknow for a long time I thought my impression of this BR lady being dumb was due to the language barrier making me think so Not so anymore, she's actually fucking dense as lead
sugsug
alternatively so hyperintelligent that her actions cannot be understood by us mere mortals
sk !9kvMaEA9QI
>>10205 No We have these thingies you use to screw stuff in place right? Essentially they're horizontal screwdrivers. Now, when stuff takes a lot of effort, you have to press down on the part actually attached in the gaps of the thing This comes natural to everyone else because it's obvious Not her
But this is NOT the issue, because anyone can be dumb in one area. But after telling her and showing her 5 times that she shouldn't put pressure uniformly on the whole thing because the fucking thing will slip off... She keeps doing it.
it worked on the 2nd attempt but that was almost suicide watch if someone else stole it with that many hour respawn rate and so many people trying to get it...
sk !9kvMaEA9QI
>>10271 No I mean I don't understand what was cherry picked

The gnome named manlett sitting there watching you is funny. You can tell him that Rika was amused by him.

You're only level 40 though. Chop chop hurry up

I barely play tbh
Yuu
Lazy guild master. Don't feel bad though I'm lazy too.
Anno
>>10274 Hmm... I probably used that wrong What I meant was that the sample of conversations I hear at the resturaunt are usually dumb to me. I guess I do subconsciously cherrypick the dumb ones though, but it's not so obvious in that context.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWErook
Hey sugoi
Anno
>>10281 ton super magnafest 2x rp caps and everything 2 weeks check event info thing
While the gameplay seems to be much watered down compared to normal fire emblem gameplay, even watered down fire emblem gameplay is a lot more engaging than granblue or kancolle's gameplay. I think it will be fun unless Nintendo is really really mean with fatigue bars and other un-fun mobage things.
>>10315 oh actually the sword might be a bit better than katana on units that favour swords like vira djeanne zoi

Annosk !9kvMaEA9QI
>>10327 Yeah but Afghanistan is basically Syria Unless you're a racist!
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
If memory serves, the only syrians who arrived here were the "even the burden" ones transferred directly from greece by EU and shit. or atleast arrivals in significant numbers, maybe 1-2% of the border crossers on their own were syrians or even less otherwise. So yeah, okay iraq has few hotzones atm that does cause refugees, but afghanistan... Why do they come NOW and not you know 10 fucking years ago when it was an active warzone and all
of course if you point this out in any public outlet, you get called nazi
TN !PcAPtAiNJo

Marsh
>>10325 How do you go about testing something like that?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
dental
Marsh
>dental evidence is said not to be totally reliable, with experts pointing out it is possible to wrongly estimate someone's age by up to three years when making an estimate based on such criteria.
Marsh
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-37687916
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Do you seriously trust BBC as an authority on this well the dental test is not 100% accuracy, but it can easily prove if someone is clearly above 18 and that is the point of course there are other tests
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>truths and falsehoods on immigration >most child refugees are actually adults >false >here is data from 2012 and 2013 that proves it is so, we don't have current data yet well... you had data from 2014, but it would have revealed that over 50% of the "child refugees" were actually adults... article was from 2015 august and the data was public at that moment. Some journalistic integrity from state media.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Also I love how "child refugees angry and scared over age tests" why would you be angry if you indeed have nothing to hide? This is like being pissed off at a cop asking you for driver's license... If you arrive here claiming something, without papers to proof it and we do a test to verify your claim, why would you be angry unless you are trying to hide something...
Sure, there is the medical ethical question of x-raying teeth and bones to see your age as it does involve radiation exposure, but... FOR FUCKS SAKE PEOPLE GET THEIR TEETH XRAYED ABOUT ONCE IN FIVE YEARS AND NO ONE HAS GOTTEN MOUTH CANCER OVER IT Git over it you fucking ideogogs
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Sure the doctors who do the scans have increased radiation exposure risks, but that is because they do those scans daily the normal person has much more exposure to radiation from just international flights when say doing business flights once a month.
But then again, asking for proof is oppression and you need to just listen and believe
Marsh
I don't even see why eighteen is some magical threshold cut-off age. A healthy teenager can do just as much as an adult. 16-17.

TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>10350 children get special privileges and the irony is that most of the actual children are 17s most of the time hell most of the "children" who applied for refugee have already turned 18 during the processing period
It is just because they have heard on the "where to get best benefits" forums that "saying you are a kid" gets you best munies and best chance of quick procession but then again, 90% of the information on those sites is bullshit and doesn't reflect the true situations in the target countries and are actually maintained by the human smugglers
Basically >human smugglers paint a good image of target country >sell a 2-10k€ trip package to said country, with guidebooks how to get best treatment there >people read the information from facebook groups/etc, not knowing they are actually ran by the smugglers >naïvely buy into it and pay big money for a shot at better life >get screwed over once here and throw a tantrum
>>10353 Exactly. Trump will take on as many refugees as you want.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
A bot trip from libya to italy was averaged to about 4000€ per person at one point a single ferry could house say 500 persons at times just throw together those numbers...
and then think of some guy owning a cheap tugboat, smashing say 10 of those ferries that are ment to sink so they are rescued by EU patrols, placing their running costs low as fuck Say, arranging one trip costs 20k each time, which I believe is waaay too high, but with a price of 4k per head, that means with just 5 people on the raft, they are already on the black.
Marsh
>>10354 That's how they'll save American industry.. Have all the sweatshops within their own borders.
Maria
>>10356 OH MY GAWD. We can even stick the American dream into this. After you've worked a certain amount of years, you become a full citisen. WE SOLVED THE REFUGEE CRISIS /moe/!
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
A good smuggler might actually make several millions per open water season in mediterraens and the risk of getting caught, especially when running the "rescue raft" strategy, is quite low.
Man I really should've just flown to libya back in 2014 and become a smuggler I'd be a millionaire by now
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>travel back to 2011 >instead of returning to uni become smuggler >slowly become a smuggle kingpin >invest all profits in bitcoin before the big spike and crash and thus make even more munies >continue running it through minions while move to safety in some european tax haven >stop when the eu crackdowns begin in earnest >live as a multimillionaire
Maria
Why not skip smuggling and just invest in bitcoin? Seems easier. You can sit on your ass and watch anime instead of smuggling.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Because, even at best I have had about 10k in liquid money to my name
unlike in murrica YOU DON'T GET LOANS as a student aside from quick loans that instantly slap you with 5% or more interest
Maria

>>10367 You already know when bittcoins price will pea, DISREGARD THIS I SUCK COCKS
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
the person who needs to pay them and at the same time invest large sums of money for about a year in bitcoin for the maximum profit, while also paying for all their needs out of the meager amount of money students have that person
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>10366 yes, but just doing a short term investment will just double your money if you can travel back in time to some good situation in your life, you can buy into them say a year before when it would result in 5-10x profit
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
man there is some kind of human voice that I just hate or somekinds in plural rather and certain kind of pronounciation of the letter S in finnish just drives me crazy, especially when a woman does it. and it is clearly some form of intentional thing What I mean, is when most of times they speak, they just do it normally but then at times it turns into that weird faggotty slut S and it is clear it is on purpose or a habbit that has stuck from talking like a certain idiotic subculture of teens we call "pissikset"

Really, it looks like they just took the republicans and placed them all randomly on a slider from 100 to 50, and for dems they placed them randomly on the same scale, but from 50 to 0
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
It's based on how they've been voting on Trump's stuff so far, haha.
There's a Democrat with 100% Trump Score. From California Poor girl isn't going to last.
Really though it's more like 70 instead of 50 that'ss the cutoff It doesn't look very reliable
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
I have a friend that's super anti-trump drove 12 hours for the women's march goes to rallies and protests all the time always shouts RESIST i sent her it and said "list of targets" and she's like "this is going to be useful for the resistance!"
Protests only work if you VOTE, and Trump won so he can be comfy in thinking people agree with him generally And all the congress people can just coast by and not care because the incumbent wins anyway
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
not for long things are really chaotic right now there's no way the status quo is going to last because of how politically charged everyone is right now people are paying close attention to congresspeople for the first time in the last 50 years
sk
Watch as nothing changes in congress come midterms
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
also that song is cool
sk
Yeah, I like them Dutchfriend introduced me to them while we were fucking around, stoned out our minds
Practically anything when it comes to tanks They LOOK real fucking slow
sk
Like I'd think a dog would be able to outrun one By looking at them But I don't think it would be able to
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
They used to be pretty slow but the Abrams today can go like 70km/h or something That's not fast enough to drive on the interstate, though!
sk
>>10398 Who's gonna stop you though, let's be honest
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
Probably the military if you did it here haha I always see military trucks on the interstate

You don't need the military even, the cops are probably equipped to deal with rogue tanks

CNN pls
sk
ACTIVE THREADER SPOTTED ON THE INTERSTATE, OUR NEWSCOPTER HAS LIVE FOOTAGE!
sk
Also the song says "60 to 1 the sword faces the gun" But in reality, the only reason they just used swords was because they were OUT OF AMMO And Saigo's forces were 30K, too, when he started the whole resisting dealio ...they were just clipped down is all
sk
Did you know Saigo literally became the planet Mars upon death?
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
i did not know that
sk
One of his closest friends became a newly discovered moon, too
sk
Apparently, roofs and stuff collapsed and a bunch of people got hurt because the Japs got on their roofs to see Mars, cause you could see it due to PLANETARY ALIGNMENTS pretty clearly Cause Mars was Saigo now
sk
It's pretty cool that it was Mars, too Since Mars is already named after the god of war It's really fitting that the last Samurai warrior reincarnated as the planet named after the god of war
sk
Like imagine if he'd become Venus
sk
I haven't gotten far into the book, but I'm struggling to really get over how weird it is to hear newspapers and SAMURAI mentioned together
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
It was in the 1800s, right?
sk
yeah 1877 I think is when Shiroyama went down
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
oh japan was super modern at that point perry opened japan in like the 1850s
sk
Yeah, Shiroyama is where I think literally the last samurai died
sk
Also, ironically, it's what probably really gave the idea of the samurai such a high status even in modern culture Cause the story of Saigo was super honorable, he even SEPPUKU'd according to the stories He didn't actually but hey
sk
They actually managed to take out 30 guys though, good job Saigotacchi
It's pretty interesting It's 'just' a retelling of Hitler from WW1 to death But it's really well made

Anno
To be fair, the two men did have a fair number of concepts they were on the same level on. It's just the stuff they were on opposing sides for were pretty much all the core details.
Kirara☆
Sanders will be willing to work on things that are reasonable He's also likely to agree with Trump on trade deals and stuff to a degree He's generally willing to be bipartisan and after Trump won, Bernie publicly announced his intention to cooperate as much as reasonably possible
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Trump just needs to stop shotgunning spaghetti
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Though the controversial shit might be intentional, which in a way is scary, more scary than just sudden non-thought through policy blasting. Simply have the most anti-trump faction irritating stuff in a short span, so the neutral and supporting factions will tire out of all the constant protest and eventually just go "man these bitches like to whine about ANYTHING trump does" making anyone who openly and loudly protest trump policies, seem like part of the hysterical HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US camp.
A good and scary move in a way, since it could lead into trump having quite free movement on his actions by second or third year and who knows what he might do then?
sk
36 dimensional mahjong
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Basically a similiar policy that the left used in europe, where they for a good amount of time painted anyone opposing their shit into a right-wing nut-fringegroup.
The thing about the whole "punching nazis is good" thing that's the most scary is that basically any reasonable human being is a nazi by the definition used at this point Fuck, most people here don't want any immigration, and that's definitely nazi
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Well it just further keeps eating any credibility from the "modern" left. And shows how detached the people spouting these things nonstop are from the actual world.
sk
The entire alt right was painted as nazis back when most of their activity was shitposting and pepememing PEPE THE FROG is a nazi now
The definition of nazi is about as vague as the definition for progressive, and it's spooky to see people want to encourage punching people fitting it Because I'm 100% in that description at this point
Anno
>>10460 It's not reasonable to outright not want immigration though.

Kirara☆
>>10463 Speaking of which copying and pasting something I wrote elsewhere
there are three court orders that apply to LAX but agencies aren't acknowledging them people were deported despite the stays issued immigration lawyers went to the US Marshal for enforcement of the court orders and US Marshals said they were instructed by US Attorney's office to err /// instructed by the Office of General Counsel to await instruction from the US Attorney's office immigration lawyers went to US Atty and US Atty was going to accept proof of service on behalf of CBP and DHS but were called away and then informed immigation lawyers they wouldn't sign when they returned unknown if more people are being deported but people are currently being detained against court orders since US Marshal is the agency responsible for enforcing the law and refuse to, nothing can be done

Things are generally not reasonable right now Hopefully we reach a reasonable equilibrium again soon

I don't have faith in reasonable for any short-term prospect. At the least, if nothing changes about the executive order, things can only get worse for the next ninety days.
I just hope nothing stupid enough for an impeachment happens because years of Pence being in control doesn't sound good either.
