There are two types of this, those that pay voluntarily and those who are extorted. If you pay protection money to a gang voluntarily, it is like insurance. If your business has a problem, the gang will deal with it. If you are the extorted type, then you may be on your own and you still owe money. They may act on your behalf because of the disrespect of hitting a business they deal with.

Some businesses don’t so much pay protection money as they act as a money laundering node for the gangsters, so if your shop gets hit then their money gets hit and that is personal. These types are usually more affiliated or may be forced to launder.

All I am saying is that Rosa Parks deserved a better award then.

This was written by a guy who had nothing but sports for a career path that got an injury which meant they would never go pro and they had to switch majors to literature, thinking that writing is “hella easy bro”.

That makes it easier to find them to check for cancer caused by microplastics.

You can get tattoos that are you skin tone, but they aren’t invisible, they will show up if you get flush or tan.

There also are UV tattoos that onto show up under blacklight. How visible they are varies, but there is usually a ghosting with them.

Both cases, the ink fades faster than other colors. How fast that happens depends on the person and how much sun exposure you get. You can get touch ups every 2 years to keep the UV bright, but it does muddy the tattoo the more you do that.

Without the greater context of Hasan’s beliefs, you can argue that he is expressing what the Russian view is and have a valid point.

With the context of what Hasan supports, it is obvious that he is arguing on behalf of Russia that they are justified.

He is an audience captured narcissistic hypocrite nepo-baby that rants about capitalism while wearing designer clothes in his multi-million dollar LA mansion. He is constantly seeking the approval of his chat and the validation of others. He is a tankie and terrorist sympathizer for the content and will say anything to claw to keep his relevance in an echo chamber that will tear him apart for departing the script.

This is what I started doing a few months ago and it works great.

Leaning into it is the right answer with South Park. It doesn’t matter if they feel offended privately, what matters is that they seem to not care.

They are going to hit Noem harder because she didn’t go along with it.

Probably some overlap with Homelander fans in that venn.

Meanwhile JD celebrates being made fun of on South Park and Kirk changed his Twitter profile pic to Cartman doing Kirk’s schtick.

Maybe Noem needs to chill the fuck out.

I think that number is an extrapolation of the energy density with typical battery pack weights.

So really they are saying they can have a battery that is 1/3rd the size and charge in a few minutes. Which is a giant advancement.

A Tesla 3 has a GVWR 4,700-5,100lbs with 1,000lbs of that being a battery that gives you ~260-300 miles of range. They could get that down to ~150lbs of battery and maintain the same range. For context, 10 gallons of gas weighs like 63lbs.

Solid state also makes electric sportscars viable, which is neat.

That is what I used to debloat my S23U, even banished Bixby to the shadow realm.

The left lane is for crime.

She dropped out, still going with Bacerra.

I wish you the best.

The basilisk is not going to like this.

Anyone who would be so minded as to act in a way that undermines or is in direct opposition has certainly disqualified themselves on social media and in reputation.

They would need a clean or blatantly pro Trump social media profile and multiple people to vouch for them that are the same.

Even once they get in, they would still have to follow orders and they would be the one contributing to what they hate directly or they would be fired and/or imprisoned.

Seriously, the only way to get into a position to be able to do anything would have to decide to flip or being playing a long game that they only just recently found out about.

Were you interviewing for a federal law enforcement agency or a local? Were you going to receive secret clearance?

Things have changed all the same.

If you don’t use any other social media or haven’t posted anything disqualifying, then not telling them about your Lemmy account would help your odds.

The poly and/or reference interviews would not work out for you anyways.

Poly is standard for LEOs, secret clearance does include poly.
