Maybe, but it's like the Brexit referendum. During the run up to the vote, the rightwing government at the time swore that it wasn't binding, instead it was advisory. But, when the opportunity to vote again when it actually became clear what the Brexit deal meant, it was dismissed. We had our vote. Even though there was no way of knowing that people actually voted for the form Brexit they actually got. Instead those that advocate for a final binding vote was castigated for being anti Democratic with vested interests and hidden agendas.

If they can do that to Brexit skeptics with all the uncertainty and doubt surrounding that decision, imagine what they can do surrounding a much more cut and dried prospect of Project 2025.

I should imagine the line will be: "you, yourself advertised what Project 2025 will be. You said if you vote us in, we'll implement it. Now we're in, we see that as a democratic mandate to implement it".

Slightly off topic, but I worry that this election has, amongst other things has turned into a referendum on Project 2025. So, the Democratic Party won't have a leg to stand on when it gets implemented in full. They can't really argue that the electorate was ignorant.

I remember similar being said about Beto O'Rourke. In the end he floundered on the rocks of Cruz's candacy.

At the risk of explaining a joke into the ground your comment has more than one reference. The UK's two main parties have their colors flipped. Labour's color is red.

I was shocked about the amount of content when I browsed BBC's Iplayer service. They even have films. If you want to save some well known movies and are in the UK, you could exhaust their selection before even having to put your hand in your pocket to splash out on extra privatised content.

Not seen this before, looks like Audacious on steroids. A bit like Photoshop vs MS Paint.

I could have sworn that this story has done the rounds already. I guess it's an update on that story as he has now resorted to litigation.

I was told that it was convention to use the highest government title that a person received once they leave government. Personally, I don't think that explanation holds much water. We don't really hear, for example of President Obama any more. Nor do we hear Secretary of State Clinton. On a practical matter, it can cause confusion so outside propaganda, I don't see much utility in it.

Translation: Republicans don't want protests contained to one place. Or, they believe out of sight, out of mind. You can't legislate moral positions.

Maybe it took this long to develop an alternative. They now have an alternative... Right? The Kremlin wouldn't send it's citizens off to fight without being sufficiently equipped... Right?

It's a storage agnostic protocol for sending, receiving and enumerating to/from cloud storage. Think off it like email. Email service providers allow for a number of ways to access your email, be it pop3, IMAP or web. The underlying technology is abstracted away. In the same way cloud storage allows for web, s3 and/or WebDAV. Amongst others. And likewise the back end is abstracted away. The s3 client you use doesn't need to know how the data is actually stored. And there's some pretty whacky storage back ends.

Yeah, specifically when you consider Elon's troubling interference about the use of his Starlink during the Russo-Ukrainian war. Potentially hobbling the Ukrainians to the benefit of the Russians.

Whilst the act for which you speak definitely accelerated the bullshit, it wasn't peaches and cream back in the day. Just look at the film Citizen Kane a fictitious (and lawsuit resistant) depiction of William Randolph Hearst. In it an exceptionally wealthy business man uses the media to promote his political aims. And to skew narratives outside of strict politics. A man who craves love and adoration but can't reciprocate. Remind you of anyone? I would say Musk's purchase of Twitter fills at least one of those molds, Trump the rest.

At this point he's just pushing potential users away. I wonder if he's given up on it and is just holding on to it until the election is completed.

I wonder if some kind of mesh might work. Maybe like a secret Santa type deal. By that I mean everyone who connects, gets a randomised, anonymous partner or partners. Everyone in the swarm streams for each other.

At least 34 people have requested to move to Russia from the UK

What does this mean. So the actual number could be any number between 34 and the entire population of the UK?

Or, does it mean that there is 34 people that we know of. And they're having trouble finding anyone else.

I wonder how many Russians have left Russia in the same time period.

I also wonder what percentage 34 people are of the entire population of the UK.

It just strikes me as a desperate propaganda ploy from the Kremlin. Inflating a nothing burger beyond all proportion.

I wish our expats well. And the best of luck to 'em.

Maybe you could hang around downtown with a sign around your neck advertising "Free Hugs".

A bit of a click batey title. Omitting the salient point that this is for the Backerloo line. As for the rest of the station it's been a long time step free. Well, the National Rail part. The H&F and Circle line that follows the H&F alignment a bit more recent. Is the District and the part of H&F that follows it's alignment also step free? Or is it the last access standing?

Even for Nazis getting Nazi tattoos, there's redemption. A way out. But there has to be a willingness to take that first step. The tragedy of the comic strip is that the person getting the tattoo and shaving their allows themselves to be defined by others. And it's not just the normies and the left that's doing it. It's a grotesque, sure but for those on the outside, it kinda looks like that.

One of the things that cults do is carve off people from the wider populace. It's them that say "everyone is against you" it's them that say that "there's no way back, so you might as well throw your lot in with us. We are the only ones that understand and accept you. As long as you behave in a way that we feel is acceptable, or do something for us".

Staying in the cult starts off the easy path rather than seek to change yourself. Then, after a while you start falling for the sunk cost fallacy. It's that, that keeps you in the long term even when times get tough.

But, there is always redemption, a way out. And blaming your whole life on other people isn't a particularly efficient tactic. Again, personal responsibility.
