So US cops don't hunt down communists, and therefore the US isn't fascist? I'm having a hard time seeing the thought process here, but then again I'm not a fascist.

New dead Internet theory just dropped

As far as I know, NASA has two current plans. Either sell the ISS to some billionaire, or deorbit it and drop it into the ocean. Both are really sad conclusions to an important scientific and engineering project.

The funny thing is, the league of colonial crackers don't have the capability to deorbit the ISS. Right now only the Russian Progress vehicle can significantly modify the orbit of the ISS. If it's not deorbited quickly and precisely on purpose, it'll deorbit on its own in an uncontrolled manner, with a slight risk of dropping debris on inhabited land.

With how irredeemably greedy Boeing is, I can't help but think that Airbus is probably just as bad. Everything the US government does and will do for Boeing, the French and EU will do for Airbus.

Unfortunately for us in the US dominated west, flying on COMAC and Ilyushin airframes will never be an option.

The US Midwest, as well as much of Canada, is built like that. Winters are long and cold, so houses are more or less built to keep heat in, but not to keep heat out, or cool down quickly once hot. I say more or less because historically energy has been so cheap that instead of properly insulating like people do in Europe for example, many just turn up the heat in winter. So even when people can afford to buy and run an AC unit and the power grid cooperates, the AC can often only cool one room, and maybe not even quite handle that sufficiently.

In historically temperate areas like the pacific northwest, homes aren't really built with extreme temperatures in mind, so anything outside of the usual 5-25°C range is very uncomfortable very quickly.

We have investigated ourselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing.

We also have no idea as to why quality engineers are turning up dead.

Thanks for your professional input, I really appreciate it.

Your last paragraph is especially important. I overlooked that part, although it's obvious in retrospect.

Doesn't matter which team nominated him. A spook is a spook, anything they touch is gonna get spookified (not that any product from Silicon Valley isn't already a fancy surveillance and propaganda system).

Just wait until the then-president pulls a Trudeau (Senior) by declaring martial law to put an end to the separatists.

The entire EU supply chain is subsidized.

I had also bought the standard line that it's about imbalanced or incorrect brain chemistry, but I'm not sure anymore if that theory holds any water.

There are a lot of criticisms leveled against it, but I found the book Lost Connections by Johann Hari to be incredibly thought provoking. This was even before I had gone full tankie and read a bit into the links between mental health and capitalism. The tl;dr thesis of Lost Connections is that anti-depressants are cover up the symptoms for a time, but the root of the issue is a broken social structure, for which capitalism is responsible.

That's fair. I also didn't mean to imply that anti-depressants aren't currently without value. Even just speaking from personal experience, my family would look a lot different without them.
