Israel accuses Syrian government of having affiliations with Syrian civilians

this is silly, bc in order for the pardon to be relevent, a necessary condition is someone has to be in the position to prosecute. his argument assumes that someone is, bc it's necessary to meaningfully discuss when a pardon is void.

no, that NW could have sued and likely won.

"i wish i was relevent and not in a dead end posting."
3 months later
"not like that!"

well there would be no value in doing that? Like it was 4 years later, him returning would have no impact on his disclosures at that point. you're essentially asking, why not return so they can go to prison? Bc prison sucks.

like i will absolutely admit that voters did not reward the massive investments and welfare expansions of the biden admin. but nothing starmer has done is remotely on the level, even in a relative sense, as ARPA or the IRA? they aren't similar at all.

manning only got out bc obama decided to pardon her.
November 28, 2025 at 10:27 PM
manning was given 35 years and was literally sentenced right after snowden fled. robert hanssen got 15 consecutive life sentences. pollard got 28 years in prison and then five years on parole.

the other other reason I Think that snowden was a russian asset is that only ~1/3rd of what he stole was even NSA, and a lot was DOD/DIA on our military facilities [security], weapons R&D, foreign military capabiltiies, etc. and less than 0.1% of the stolen docs were given to the press. Wonder Why!

Pointing out that something is incorrect definitely isn't sufficient - the *culture* of "it is bad to make incorrect statements, good to promptly and clearly retract and apologize for them, and disqualifying to keep making them deliberately" is the framework needed for fact-checking to plug into.

this is actually somewhat compelling. as someone who has zero interest in children, 100k for me feels adequete for pretty much anything (although admitedly i'm paying >1100 on my mortgage). i no longer worry about money. but if i added kids, ny opinion would really change!

not as fun as: "research has shown your platform was used to facilitate a genocide and you failed to take adequete steps to prevent it, enjoy the foodbank zuckerberg."

the uk sorta diverges from the us in that they don't like funding anything, including police, prisons, and courts.

this is a town and village judge in new york (and probably some other states), although you have to win an election. although they only get to rule on a subset of misdemeanours.

a large majority of the israeli populations, as shown by opinion polls had zero issue with genocidal campaign taking place in gaza. it's not just netanyahu.
