Also Lower Decks is incredible. A Star Trek show that makes fun of itself and the franchise but is still narratively driven and... entertaining.

I was confused because the original post now says "deleted_by_moderator" and I thought this was in response to that comment. Ha.

Don't forget that piece of shit Tuberville. Way to fuck over our armed forces with two active conflicts going on in the world. Despicable.

Too bad. The world would be a better place had it just managed to take out one of the religious nutjob justices. Hell, it's a symptom of deferred maintenance which would be ironic if it was caused due to restricted spending by their own corrupt compatriots.

I know my netflix cancellation went toward a fast usenet account. When netflix first came out, it was great and I stopped my own piracy because it was easy, convenient, and affordable to use. Then other streaming services came out and it was still convenient and I paid for those. Then they started increasing the rates, decreasing the amount of content and making the service less accessible. Well thanks guys, you drove me back to piracy as it is now easier and cheaper to get content from a usenet server than for legitimately paying for it.

I have been thinking about this too. Patriotism is very different from nationalism and I think people who love their country despite its faults should display it proudly.

Diplomatic immunity is a legal fiction. On whose authority does he have diplomatic immunity? It's not some magical construct, it describes the pressure that can be exacted by the diplomat's country were that diplomat to be detained or run afoul of some law in the host country. It's not like there is some central overarching authority handing out Diplomatic Immunity cards. It's based upon ad-hoc agreements between nations. South Africa can do as they please. They will have to face any potential consequences from either Russia for enforcing the ICC arrest warrant, or from the ICC for not enforcing the warrant.

The ICC doesn't have nukes. All that said, hard to give the launch order when you are dead so lets hope for misadventure.

100% this. Think of a satellite as a really tall Radio tower able to reach much further away.
