Isn’t it funny how the public servant basically manifested the home for her because she probably has a great lawsuit now?

There’s a good HBO series about this called 100 Foot Wave.

There’s definitely a racist subtext:

1. Imagine the Queen criticizing Kate for being “flamboyant.” This word echoes negative racist stereotypes disseminated by white culture of how Black women act and dress. Now to be clear there is nothing flamboyant about this dress and when compared with Kate both dresses are large and grandiose. It’s not just that she’s not “virginal” it’s the “in your face”-ness about it that the Queen has commented on. What did Megan do differently than any other Royal bride on her wedding day to stand out except be black?
2. it is possible that the dress appears to be whiter because Megan’s skin is darker, which is also subtly racist. Black women need to be relegated to a different shade of white when they’re divorced now? Come on.
3. Camilla the divorcee wore white on her wedding day to Divorced Charles the 3rd. She just had an ugly - and I might say quite flamboyant - overcoat over it.

A large scale conflict like that would have economic and security implications for the rest of the world. Nothing exists in isolation.

It’s a lot of processed bread / carb products and very little protein.

Yeah because the US is the ally of my country. Geopolitically if you’re from a BRICS nation it’s not a concern. NATO and 5 eyes nations aren’t supportive of an ambitious China expanding influence and territory.

It is just common sense. Nations never do things for just one reason. Possession is 9/10ths of the law - if they fill Antarctica with their facilities they can later claim they have so many facilities they should just govern Antarctica. Not a bad strategic move in times of global warming.

Fuck these guys for real. I had just set up a raspberry pi and nfc tags. I’m not buying their shitty ecosystem even harder now.

It’s an assumption that intelligent life unknown to us is space faring.

Same in Memmy I’m glad everyone else is noticing this. Also I can’t set favourite communities anymore in the sidebar?

This is what I’m saying below and being downvoted for, thank you.

There’s plenty of evidence of the government obstructing inquiries into UAP since the 1950s, yes. You can start with Project Blue Book.

This is a puff piece by CNBC to distract from the actual work being done by Reps Luna, Gillebrand, Burchett and others and the recent assertions by Dr. Lacatski and Dr. Kelleher that the government DOES have craft in their possession and that they have been authorized by DoD to divulge that.

By claiming “AARO and NASA just want to look at the science!” they’re appealing to people who would take the recent poor excuses for “reports” by those institutions at face value.

The assertion that UAPs haven’t been studied by scientists and have been relegated to conspiracy theory only is such bunk and is truly offensive. They haven’t been studied by the broader scientific community because the government doesn’t share what they know. What about the work of Dr. Hynek, Dr. Kelleher and Dr. Lacatski?

They’re gaslighting us when they’re claiming to be fully transparent when anyone who pays attention to this topic can see they’re really not.

lol I don’t understand why this is being downvoted but ok.

“It can be used to retrieve with “near perfect accuracy” data from Safari, as well as Firefox, Tor, and Edge on iOS.”

Russia’s handcuffed because they’re being backed by Iran for their invasion of Ukraine.

That’s such an overly simplistic solution for a complex issue, though.

Using that logic no despotic regime should ever be in power. But they are and have been and will continue to be.

The Taliban shouldn’t be back in power in Afghanistan, and Russia should just ditch Putin. People just need to read the 2nd amendment and grab their guns, gotcha.

I think the point that people are trying to make is that Hamas terrorism isn’t representative of all Palestinian people.

I feel as though the focus should be on eradicating and arresting the terrorist cell not bombing the entire neighborhood where they live, civilians and all. Although I understand that an investigation needs to be completed to determine which group actually carried out the hospital bombing and whether it was deliberate.

I do feel as though as a westerner without formal education or study of the matter I’m not qualified to point fingers in the whole thing other than to say that one atrocity does not justify further atrocity.

In Canada - It used to be on the Nosey Chanel of Plex’s free live TV platform. Not sure if they still run episodes of it.

Here is a good comparison calculator so OP can figure it out.

I would disagree with renting a car.

Get a JR Pass instead - it lets you ride the bullet train unlimited for a specific period of time. This is a steep discount over buying tickets in the country. You need to get this mailed to your house in the US while you are outside of Japan, before you travel. They mail you a voucher and you bring this and pick up your pass at the airport (Japan is big on physical paperwork). Don’t forget to get an eki ben when you ride - it’s part of the experience.

The Ghibli Museum may still be closed to tourists so if you want to do that verify before you go. If it is open to tourists again, you also need to buy your tickets to that from outside Japan, have voucher mailed to home, and pick up as well from JR iirc.

Look into booking TeamLab Borderless (Tokyo) ahead of time, Kabuki is fun, sumo is fun (depending on when you go there may or may not be a basho going on & the city switches), and then just wander around and enjoy temples, sights, and food!!!

Oh yeah also get a suica card ahead of time and you can install it on your phone to tap in the subway and also pay for snacks at Family Mart if I recall correctly.
