While I guess I get the whole tiktok ban because its so incredibly invasive, the wechat is next level government spying by the PRC.

Probably should also delete Facebook then too. And Instagram. And WhatsApp. You should not trust Zuckerburg anymore than you’d trust the CCP. 

I totally agree with the banning of these Chinese Apps not only for the data collection but also for the simple fact that many foreign Apps are banned and are considered illegal in China. Why China DOES NOT allow foreign Apps into their market? SIMPLE social control if the CCP says there are pink elephants people in…

the same could be said of twitter, Facebook, etc. but the more serious problem is that WeChat is the only app many diaspora people can use to communicate with their families in mainland China. Trump’s actions are yet again tearing families apart. this is not in good faith, this was not well thought through, and you…

Nice try China.

You’ve been drinking the Kool-Aid.

It’s super fucked that Trump is going to (try?/will?) ban these apps, but having said that, hell no.

Very true. I was a park ranger in Utah years ago and an Air Force plane crashed. I didn’t know at first that it was carrying nuclear warheads and that one of the pilots actually was trying to steal them, but I ran across the second pilot and we decided to try to stop the theft. We eventually were able to stop them,…

Also, as an aside... if you find a plane part, you gotta take that sucker directly to the authorities (or rather notify them directly). Even if you think you’re in the legal right to keep it or pass it along to a reporter or something, the Navy isn’t going to see it that way.

Flyin’ over the track gotta hurry an’ get on back

“Pretty Minor” is somewhat subjective. In the sense that they both continued on their path just fine I suppose it’s not unfair to call it that. that said, planes are planes so they’re still pretty fragile, but with a bit of happenstance and luck planes can still fly with relatively severe damage.

This is just a trick of viewing angles. The speeds of the jets as they go overhead are identical, one is not catching the other and the jet behind would have to have an almost impossible acceleration to catch the one in front to cause a collision in the space of this video.

I’m mixing blogs, here, but this reminds me of a quote from Babylon 5: “If you are falling off a cliff, you may as well try to fly. You’ve got nothing to lose.”

Gosh darn this discussion feels ridiculous but for those who for some reason care but don’t speak Spanish, Gastelum said it was as if Musoke was “un caballo recién nacido”. This means “a newborn horse”. Much like Musoke, I have no idea what is going on right now.

The best part is when the brake lights go on while the car is in midair.

I starred your post because I agree with you.

I feel for her. Same thing happened to me after walking two blocks in Houston summer heat.

I know the North American soccer leagues are likely the third-worst on labor rights after the NCAA and NFL, but if they’re going to insist on the Spring-to-Fall schedule that makes little sense for so very many reasons, couldn’t they at least make sure games in the summer are played at fucking night?
