Most of Wikipedia articles hardly change over time. The entry for potassium for example, or Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. The controversial or recent current events topics get most updates.

Hyundai has been pretty good. And I only hear good things about Rivian and Lucid.

He used his family name to become a celebrity, then went on all the conspiracy theory podcasts and forums he could find and made a big name for himself, then he amassed them into a run for president, then dropped out when he made a deal to become secretary of health in exchange for endorsing Trump.

Apple requires some developer credentials and notarization for sideloading apps, to prevent known malware. What is the problem with this?

Edit: everyone this is an honest question.

His positions are actually quite in line with mainstream America. Most Americans now criticize Israel’s war on Gaza. Most Americans believe the rich are under-taxed. Most Americans believe the rent is too high. Mamdani is not the boogeyman that conservatives claim.

Yes, but Mamdani has shown his willingness to fight for us. Even if he can’t pull off all his agenda, it’s still better than the alternative candidates who won’t even try.

It’s not even a leak if Netanyahu is tweeting in Hebrew that he’s blocking all aid from entering Gaza.

Exactly. Trump won Michigan in 2024 by a margin greater than all the third party voters combined.

That’s not quite the case. The mujahideen did splinter and civil war broke out, then the Taliban arose from the US+Pakistani training program from the Cold War with Saudi funding and steamrolled the factions taking over.

How can I monitor her too?

You mean; imagine you were a Palestinian citizen and religious fanatics came into multiple West Bank towns in summer 2023 and set them on fire, and it turns out the Israeli government actively supported the attacks and sent the military to back those settlers and shoot any Palestinians who fought back against the settlers. What would be your response and expectation?

It always amazes me how Israelis act as if October 7 happened completely out of the blue unprovoked. The first 9 months of 2023 was the deadliest year for Palestinians in 20 years with over 240 dead, and the Israeli government refused to prosecute any settlers and instead armed them further. Even the Pope got involved in September 2023 to formally condemn Israeli settlers for vandalizing churches and Ben Gvir defended the attacks saying it was revenge on Christian anti-semitism. Every Palestinian was aware of these attacks, even Hamas threatened to retaliate if the attacks on West Bank towns didn’t stop and Netanyahu decided to do respond by further increasing settler support.

There’s plenty of assassins out there but the secret service does a good job of blocking the public from getting at him. I’m sure he gets many credible death threats and there’s many would-be assassins; they just haven’t gotten close enough to be considered attempts.

“If we end apartheid then it’s the end of South Africa!”

“If we don’t exterminate the Jews then it’s the end of Germany!”

We’ve heard this before.

Much easier to pull out after, and I can leave quicker despite taking slightly longer to pull in.

That’s just the loudest voices, not the majority.

Haiti has a lot of lynchings of suspected gay people. Grenada and Barbados and Dominica still jail people for gay sex with long prison terms.

Instapaper is still going strong.

Apple also has Reading List built into safari and iPhone.

So does the Caribbean and much of the developing world, but like UAE these old laws are still on the books but not enforced. Can you show me an example of death penalty being carried out in UAE for homosexuality in the last few decades?

UAE ≠ Saudi Arabia

This is just plain anti-Arab racism. They’re not all alike. I deeply dislike the Emirati government but you’re not helping.

People don’t really know what to do, except save money, cut back on disposable spending, and watch carefully. Maybe buy some big things early like a laptop or EV now rather than wait for the shock. The big problems are a few weeks to months away.
