Y'all are doing the right thing. Thanks for all the care you put into AO3.

Fair point. But musk has a good sense for the next government boondoggle to heavily profit from before abandoning

Flock is YCombinator. What do you think? SF has always been an urban refuge for rightwing thought. All discussions about the technological fascist rise get flagged

Did you read the statement you posted? It's not asking Germany to increase nuclear. It starts off talking about all the economic benefits that US corporations have had for Germany and then goes to suggest utilizing future U.S. liquefied natural gas exports to "enhance European energy security"

(finishing off with an apology for the NSA spying on the German chancellor)

I'd highly recommend you read it. It makes it abundantly clear that the US wants Germany to rely more on the US for energy security than anything else.

You're not listening. The US wants Germany to be its puppy. If Germany is able to get energy from Russia and the Middle East, then that can't happen.

OF COURSE the United States is gonna "warn" them. They have a massive geopolitical interest in making them dependent.

Germany is right to diversify its dependencies while it switches to renewables. All of EU should've done the same. Depending on the US is a massive threat to their sovereignty

Chinese parts have been found in equal parts on both the Russian and the Ukrainian side.

This is ridiculous comment. Europe invested in a partnership with Russia because they didn't want the US to continue to dominate them economically, especially when it comes to energy. Now they've been cut off from both Russian oil and West Asian oil and the result is a Europe that is powerless to stand up against the US.

The EU is stuck choosing which of their two masters they're stuck with until they switch to renewables

Maybe that's why they've decided to stop producing cars and are switching their factories to robotics

Emissions? These are EVs mostly. And these cars are safe enough for the EU.

Any vehicles with GPS or cellular modules made in Russia or China are explicitly banned. There's also a pending law to ban any automakers that have 15% or greater ownership by people from China, Russia, or Iran.

They are just outright banned. Has nothing to do with safety or emissions.

Trans people are also statistically overrepresented in houseless populations in the US which makes statistics like these particularly challenging to investigate

Since most people aren't gonna have context on this part of the literature.

This paper is heavily rejected by mainstream criminologists. It relies on victim memorial lists for a count of victims and it relies on a database made by an anti-Trans group for the perpetrator count. This leads to both a significant undercount of victims and overcount of perpetrators.

The ONS has come out against it and said that official homicide data does not track transgender status so there is no official data to back this research up on.

None of this has stopped rightwingers from heavily circulating this paper of course. Somehow I doubt science is the goal here.

I'm not denying there's not a corruption issue. Even the US has a massive corruption issue. But what does Vorcaro have to do with Lula? "Operation Compliance Zero", which is what led to Vorcaro's arrest, was launched under Lula.

Doesn't that, if anything, support the idea that Lula is fighting corruption?

Bolsonaro tried to claim that Vorcaro made a payment to the Lula Institute but the police and even Vorcaro himself denied this ever happened. Lula is also the one pushing the Supreme Court to disclose everything about the case to the public

It's wild to me how much of the public associates thoroughly disproven corruption issues with Lula. Especially when the Bolsonaros has much more clear and direct evidence of corruption (e.g. the financing of the Dark Horse movie). The social media campaigns have clearly been very effective and the actual investigative journalism is being drowned out

The labs are the ones moving them. We're all just measuring against their own, exponentially growing, claims.
