Tensions are at an unprecedented high between Ecuador and Mexico after Ecuatorian police literally broke into the mexican embassy violating the viena convention to arrest a political refugee, Jorge Glas, former Correa's VP, who is currrently undergoing a legal process in Ecuador after allegedly being involved in a chargeback scheme involving Odebrecht (though no evidence was ever produced for this claim, except a single testimony from Odebrecht's former CEO). The immediate backdrop for this, well, happening, is AMLO putting into question the legitimacy of Ecuador's upcoming general election in one of his daily briefings after a presidential candidate was fucking murdered and AMLO attempting to give asylum to Glas. This is nuts, international law doesn't exist anymore, it's a brand new world Israel has dragged everyone onto, and only might makes right. Maybe I'll put my ideas in order, I dunno. Happy Friday friends, take care.

It's pushing it at 150 smackaroonies but the POCO X5 does have a 120hz AMOLED with 128GB at 230 USD, granted it has a snapdragon 695, so it's not going to max out genshin impact or whatever

It's hard to say if it's even effective but my bets are on that it being the opposite. How you say? Well for one we're trusting their own 0 homicides figures to make assumptions about effectiveness. And second, it's well known that Bukele's government has been discretely liberating big MS-13 capos who quickly hide on other latinamerican countries which has all the markings of a pact between gang leaders and the government. In essence, government heads have become the defacto capos and are doing gang shit, the police is now part of the maras muscle and the arbitrary arrests prove it. The rest of the prison stuff is just for show. Even if this was not true, jails are known hotpots of potential criminality. It's where new gangs like CJNG were formed, so it's just delaying an inevitable problem. From wherever you look, it's a temporary band-aid.

I think online fundraisers were a thing before Breaking Bad, but I swear to god that after GoFundMe reality got rewritten and I can't find evidence of them ever existing.

When people discuss Framework laptops or whatever, this is what comes to mind. They're priced at a pretty inaccessible price point already and people tell me that Framework laptops being reliably sold at that price point is a success for upgradeability and right to fix laws because it shows there's demand for it, but it really isn't. What succeeded here was Framework establishing a "tinkerer" niche, one that grants you upgradeability and freedom to install whatever software you see fit without jumping through weird hoops at a premium. Cisco did this with WRT54G and WRT54G-L routers, the second had a steep price difference even though the hardware was essentially the same, just because it allowed you to flash in OpenWRT without using exploits. It's the same for enthusiast phones, most if not all of them allow you to flash in your own bootloader without exploiting, but most enthusiast phones are sold at flagship prices. It's just capitalism that's so incredibly good at spotting its own rot and commoditizing the solution.

She certainly sounds proud of it!

 

Fuck you FromSoft

It's the very beginning that is very frustrating. No wonder everyone gravitates towards sorry cop, you're completely fucking useless and a complete fuck up who can't even do basic cop shit. Once that's dealt with, the game picks up pace really quick, and you'll have some good bearings on what you stats you want to focus on and it'll make you feel like big dick gumshoe.

yeah Matt's performance of BIG DICK COPS is not, let's say, convincing. Plus the game is now fully voice acted which very much elevates the entire experience.

I still can't believe the "No Russian" thing was a real thing, what the fuck was that. That was some CIA conditioning bullshit I swear to god

what does this even mean, how can you enter 'twice'

I didn't like the r slash heads subs either, tbh. Something about posting links with no other context doesn't lend itself well for music discussion.
