Does anyone actually want to be in Ohio? If something is Ohio, it’s that vague uncomfortable ugly failure feeling.

I feel that in my soul. I’m a sysadmin, however it’s mostly password resets 🥲
Business insider being left biased is one hell of a take. They’re a corporate outlet for sure even if they don’t shill the GOP line.
You’re probably joking, but this is where I landed. We’re no where near ready to join a galactic community.
That’s interesting… Communism is by definition stateless and without significant hierarchy. I don’t think other Tankies would disagree with me there.
The ideological difference is in how we achieve communism. I would really suggest reading ‘What is to be Done’ by Lenin. It’s a real short read but was one of the things that sold me on Marxism-Leninism vs. regular “Communism is a neat idea”
Capitalism will sell you the “you’re your own boss, go forth an conquer” all while keeping you under their heel. There is no equality or opportunity there; but even worse is that they will worm their way into any system that does not harshly and consistently fight back against them. Ergo the need for a ‘communist’ (or rather pursuing communism) state.
That then leads into “Well how does the state go away once we’ve got communism?” That’s a whole 'nother can of worms…
Sanction, Denounce, it all boils down to “The ICC can fuck itself, we do what we want; and what we want is to support the genocide of the Palestinian people.”
If your argument boils down to near meaningless (there is a hassle for ICC members with the sanction) pedantry, then your argument sucks.
Ah the everlasting if you’re not with us you’re against us argument. Classy.
Maybe, just maybe, I don’t think we should be supporting genocide; even when it’s “our team” - since apparently that’s the only way y’all see it.
“heedless rush” oh fuck you press secretary. Nearing 50k dead more being starved daily, but somehow it’s heedless and unwarranted.
Fair but the detail is irrelevant in this particular case.
“We support international law…” “Except when we don’t.”
Why even pretend?
In the interest of learning, the ICC is not a state actor, so what exactly is the difference in this case?
EDIT: The sanction is actual travel and economic restrictions on members of the ICC. “Denounce” is the typical posturing. For those who care…
You do realize Biden has announced his support for denouncing the ICC for this very action by the House right? He absolutely should be held to account for it.
EDIT: Ok pedants, Sanction and ‘denounce’ are not the same - I get it. One has actual limitations preventing us from interacting with the people who don’t even want to come here anyway.
That’s not even where the term originates. Come on, if you’re going to use the term at least do the 10 second Google search.
100 percent agreed. They’ll group anything too far left of them under the same name. Don’t care anymore. If they want to whine then fuck it, I’ll wear the term.
The .world libs just couldn’t help themselves but ruin our circlejerk.
Sure fuck it. I’ll Tankie. Castro is a hero. Western news knows nothing of glorious DPRK Juche, and comrade Stalin did nothing wrong.
Yes.
It’s already a joke. Sorry to break it to you.
Maybe I’m just an old man now, but I feel like you’re overthinking it. If you feel it’s worth another try call him and take the initiative to suggest something. If not, don’t.
Don’t ask strangers what to do when you know what you want inside. My first date with my wife was us with a group of mutual friends at the zoo, then she pretty much decided I belonged to her. So I’m not really one to tell you who should pay or whatever.
Life is too damn short to overthink these things.
Nice: "Thank you for the input, I prefer to do it the way I have been, which is equally effective and works for me. If you believe it is causing issues elsewhere in our workflow we can bring it up with manager "
Less Nice: “I understand, but no thank you.”
Less nice than that: While maintaining direct eye contact, “No.”
Not nice: “Shouldn’t you be doing your job and not mine?”
Satisfying, but likely get you fired: “Fuck off.”
They have a high power one for those bastards.
