Yeah, don’t think it was a secret by any means but I do think my understanding of bankruptcy proceedings is lacking to the point I have no idea if that will invalidate the sale like InfoWars is claiming in their suit.

Yeah, seems like there was some behind the scenes work so that the onion could buy it, we’ll see if it stands up in the (I assume deeply corrupt…) bankruptcy court. God, I hope it does…

infowars is down, I think its real

Yeah agreed, and that really should have been the headline.

You dare speak the name of the accursed one??

This headline seems like there’s a bit of sensationalizing going on - A french weapon system, sold to the UAE, is installed on vehicles the UAE has subsequently sent to sudan.

[Amnesty] says the Rapid Support Forces militia is using vehicles in the Darfur region supplied by the United Arab Emirates that are fitted with French hardware as it battles the army.

“If France cannot guarantee through export controls, including end user certification, that arms will not be re-exported to Sudan, it should not authorise those transfers,” [Amnesty] said.

Clearly they need to get their shit in order, but the french lack of a response seems more understandable given that it does take some amount of time to ex: check twenty years of arms sales for similar export control violations.

God this is so true. I teach compuster science, and I always make a point in one lecture to show the students how many tabs full of basic questions I have to open when grading their assignments. Nobody can memorize all of this, and it’s so important to shake off that feeling of not being good enough just because you have to look something up.

I can’t decide if that’s higher or lower than I expected.

Finally, a piece of good news…

They can’t talk to who they’re regulating and he’s going to break up any coherent structure… and that’s good??

“Hey. Hey. I’m hungry. Hey. Hungry. Stop moping. Feed the cat. Hey. Cat. See the cat? Feed the cat. Hey.”

People protesting in Seattle or NYC are, rest assured, taking state sanctioned violence into account. SPD/NYPD are a great way to train a culture in how to mitigate absolute bastards.

I’m on team “giant prehistoric mole hills” personally

Nnnno, sorry, the issue isn’t your message itself, its that your grasp of the written language makes it really difficult to parse. Really not attempting to be a dick with this, I swear: both you and the comment you linked are pretty perplexing to read.

In this metaphor, I think it might be better to characterize yourself as the riddler. Just saying.

Holy comma splice, batman.

Uh… yeah, they get washed. Not frequently enough for this to be wrong, but still, they do get washed.

Typing is hard today, I guess.

Same the feds are going to wipe out every last scrap of progress we made.

Pretty sure we just nailed that window shut.
