sad and amazing how true this is.

to find anything worthwhile in Google search you often needed to add site:reddit.com

to find anything at all on Reddit you needed Google

well, glad I don't go to those websites anymore...

Same. Thought maybe some local woodworker produced a beautiful lectern.

No, turns out it's from amazon with some spray paint and Arkansas is just being Arkansas.

The California Catholic Conference opposed the law, arguing the state is "engaging in ideological colonization against states and citizens that do not want abortion."

Are ... are they trying to say CA doctors are mailing abortion pills to people who didn't ask for them? What does this statement mean? Maybe what they meant was something like: "We do not believe women have a basic right to control their body, whether those women are Catholic or not, and that control should rest with the government of the state they reside in."

At what point do we start to discuss how evil the Russian regime is? I mean, this is feeling like we are approaching the lines in the sand that we drew after WWII, if we haven't already blown past them.

I have no desire to lose more lives, but this is evil. How can any country support Russia in this?

FWIW: these types of password rules are discouraged by NIST -

1. Eliminate Periodic Resets

Many companies ask their users to reset their passwords every few months, thinking that any unauthorized person who obtained a user’s password will soon be locked out. However, frequent password changes can actually make security worse.

It’s difficult enough to remember one good password a year. And since users often have numerous passwords to remember already, they often resort to changing their passwords in predictable patterns, such as adding a single character to the end of their last password or replacing a letter with a symbol that looks like it (such as $ instead of S).

So if an attacker already knows a user’s previous password, it won’t be difficult to crack the new one. The NIST guidelines state that periodic password-change requirements should be removed for this reason.

Russia has launched a war of aggression. Russian leader Putin enjoys an 80% approval rating. This change won't happen for a year:

Consequently, the planned deliveries for the year 2024 will remain unaffected.

Stop trying to make this out like the west is doing anything even close to what Russia is. If Russia wants to be an aggressive pariah state, they can make their own fucking drugs.

Additionally, I'm not sure how China would have reached this position without a specific effort by the United States to engage in increased trade with them.

We said we would trade more in the hopes of an improving human rights situation and steps toward democratic self-rule.

We didn't get what we were promised. Stop whining, Xi.

Also the group was collectively pregnant, injured and hypothermic - just so we are clear on the dire threats they posed to the crew.

The pieces of wood shaped like slices of bread are disturbing.

Certainly can, and will! Nothing justifies another country just annexing that territory. Nothing. No amount of you talking will justify it. No number of people there who speak Russian justify it. There is no justification.

The man had zero respect for the blood those regulations have been written in.
