Gonna ask for the adult purchase (大人買い) - one of each because I'd rather spend more than to keep trying the lootbox.

TL:DW;
Trump's 4 step playbook:
- Make a maximalist demand
- Let it simmer for a while
- Pull back
- Claim a big win regardless of outcome
Positives:
- It does force leaders to come to the table with the US.
- A handful of concessions can be extracted.
- Method of 'negotiation' is popular with base due to step 4.
Negatives:
- The concessions or wins are minor compared to short term damage done
- The longer-term position after concessions may be unchanged or worse than the starting position for the US.
- Immeasurable amounts of trust in the US is lost, foreign leaders look elsewhere to negotiate and strike trade deals rather than be bullied
- Foreign citizen sentiment of US lowered, affecting US businesses and political influence on the world.
Be sure to thank your local Republican, DOGE and Trump for your inability to visit a park this Memorial Day!
Good job to Ken. Whether it's Luigi's or this fellow's, the hiding of these documents by mainstream media "for the protection of people" only serves to leave room for conspiracies and fake news to fill the gap.
While I consider the two situations differently, this one less justifiable than the UHC incident, I understand the kind of helplessness that leads to this violence. I can only hope the approach to peace in Gaza will be bilateral between Israel and Palestine, fair and humane.
Unfortunately, if America continues to walk the path toward "Me, the Dictator" instead of "We, the People", violent acts like this may become increasingly common.
He was still there in the room when Trump was talking to South Africa's President Ramaphosa. He's trying to keep himself out of the spotlight but he's still there in the wings.
I see it more as a death by a thousand pathological liars and abject idiots.
But this gets more clicks!
Bu-rah, Brrrrrrring... pling pling, pling pling, pling, pling....
The Terminator... no actually it could be Mechagodzilla?
I betcha they are also regretful of the inconvenience caused by killing World Kitchen Aid workers and destroying a Canadian-made water well. The inconvenience of it.
Trump's lawyers "claiming that no court order was violated because the man wasn’t afraid of deportation."
These are some of the dumbest things I've ever heard from a government attorney. (Insert Homer Simpson 'so far' meme).
Nicely done (or reposted).
Since the server went off of OVH, lemmy.ca has felt super snappy overall. Tonight I'm noticing lagspikes, and the status graph shows it too...
I'll check back in the morning, site's still usable so not an urgent matter. It'd be interesting for me to know what might be happening.
Morning edit: seems like a one off.
