Go read Lincoln's inaugural address.

The majority is about how he wasn't going to federally outlaw slavery.

So yeah. The SC was proslavery, but the North wasn't against it either until well into the war. Even then it wasn't about doing the right thing. Wealthy Europeans knew the north would win, but also knew Southern landowners would sell on the cheap during the war.

By federally outlawing slavery, it made the agricultural land in the South drop in value.

This allowed the war to end significantly earlier.

It’s not a war crime because Lebanon and Israel are not at war,

Their defense minister literally just said it was a war...

Speaking to Israeli troops on Wednesday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said, “We are at the start of a new phase in the war — it requires courage, determination and perseverance.” He made no mention of the exploding devices but praised the work of Israel’s army and security agencies, saying “the results are very impressive.”

They're desperately trying to start wars to drag the US in while Biden is still in office.

If an all out war happens, there is 100% chance Biden dives into it.

Kamala there's a slight chance she does the right thing, and trump's price to go against Russia's allies will be ridiculously high.

So they want Biden to be the one to react.

I mean. It should be anyways...

Like fuck Sean Combs, but most people stuck in jail are because they can't post bail. Or because of the American bail system, can't afford to pay 10% as essentially a fine.

Thousands of people deal with it every day there, it sucks we only talk about it when a rich person experiences it. But we still need to talk about.

Tell Israel:

Why would you think only valid military targets were next to these?

Why are you still believing the IDFs first reports when the vast majority of the time they're lying?

  1. You think milkshakes are the best food

  2. Medical knowledge says you shouldn't try to only live off milkshakes

  3. You say the medical community is part of a conspiracy by Big Vegetable

This is why it's important people understand the details of the civil war.

What lead to it wasn't just "slavery" it's that the South wanted the federal government to go into Northern states and bring back anyone that was suspected of being an escaped slave back to the South. Basically they wanted federal law enforcement to go on slave raids.

They won't be happy with shitty laws in their own states, they want to force everyone else to follow them.

And this time the SC is on their side, and if we won't fix that, we need to be ready for the bullshit they'll keep pulling.

The Phenom 2?!

I barely remember it, but yeah, it was a beast.

But my 1700x went hard for five years. The only reason I tacked the extra 5 on was x3d changes things up.

Now, since I've made that comment AMD has solved the Zen 5 latency issues but cutting it by more than half. That's what was holding it back. So when the Zen 5 x3d comes out, it's going to be nuts.

But...

It's going to take a while for those changes to become industry standard. It might be a year before Zen 5 x3d, I'm not sure if they've even announced when. So games won't take full advantage of them right away.

It takes like a 4070 super to CPU bound a 7800x3d, and fine tune some settings and it'll balance out

We're not going to have a new screen resolution jump, and that combo can max out 4k 120fps on pretty much anything thanks to frame generation without even touching upscaling.

There's just not a lot to improve until we see a major jump like VR finally taking off.

The fact checking in this article is perfect lol

“So what America should be saying is, if NATO wants us to continue supporting them and NATO wants us to continue to be a good participant in this military alliance, why don’t you respect American values and respect free speech?” Vance asked. “It’s insane that we would support a military alliance if that military alliance isn’t going to be pro-free speech. I think we can do both. But we’ve got to say American power comes with certain strings attached. One of those is respect free speech, especially in our European allies.”

Musk has been accused of banning several journalists since taking over Twitter, now X.

“I’m not going to go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives,” Vance added. “But European countries should theoretically share American values, especially about some very basic things like free speech.”

The US ranked 26th in the world when it comes to free speech, with several members of the European Union higher up the list, according to the 2024 Global Expression Report.

Edit 1: Does no one read in Lemmy? Lol.

I got downvoted for posting a fact check about this myth from a reputable source.

Because no one thinks she did...

If you posted:

Is Harris an energy vampire trying to take over the world for the Golden Retriever lobby?

People wouldn't care if the link says she's not, everyone knows shes not and they're just downvoting a clickbait headline.

Even if they could somehow prove every single person in possession of those pagers was a combatant, those people were just everywhere spread out in society.

Imagine sitting on a bus and the person next to you you've never seen before explodes, and you do too

 

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration last week set a hearing date to take comment on the proposed historic change in federal drug policy for Dec. 2.

The hearing date means a final decision could well come in the next administration. While it’s possible it could precede the end of President Joe Biden’s term, issuing it before Inauguration Day “would be pretty expedited,” said cannabis lawyer Brian Vicente.

 

The Democratic presidential nominee will be joined by her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in an interview with CNN anchor Dana Bash in Savannah, Georgia. The interview will air Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern time.
