Same went to development assistance grants and contracts, with added questions about “does this prevent immigration” and “does this directly limit Christian persecution?”

This is 100% correct in high detail.

What’s amazing is that many other African countries have the same or a similar rule. And Starlink operates on those counties, meaning that he is willing to engage with the rules-as-official-bribes system. It’s that he wants to try and name the SA government look like they’re prioritizing bribes over “improving” things for the average person. He has demonstrated it’s entirely personal.

Meanwhile, Amazon and EuTelSat are going to have a non-politicized alternative to market before he ever gets his head out of his ass, and lap him in that largest market on the continent.

Not a stupid question.

Beyond the too far to reflect light aspect, the evidence we do have is gravitational effects to other bodies we can see and track. So there is evidence that something is out there. It’s just a matter of what and exactly where.

Awww, so nice.

Can you serve as a job reference for them? “Yes, agent 83847 was sooooo stealthy. They never once accidentally sent me a dick pic.”

No idea. I think there’s a lot of machine learning - enabled mapping up front.

What a weird way to write “Crypto scam launders bribes while fleecing of fans to a total of $350 million.”

That’s correct. This was entirely to pay for work done before the Stop Work Order, with contracts already in place, money obligated and ready to go.

Dine and dash is the perfect comparison.

Not quite. The EO says the reserve can only be added to by seizures from crimes and civil forfeiture. They can’t buy to add to it. And that it can be sold primarily for finding law enforcement.

And how Mr. “First day in office I’ll _____” is suddenly powerless to do anything other than whine and play the victim.

World - please send help!

Yes, and that was HR 899, proposed in the House on Jan 31. More then a month ago.

Did y’all miss that?

100% on board.

Realistically, probably nothing. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth trying.

Only of they bring back the song, too.

That whole movie was some of Lea Thompson’s finest work.

You know, one of the 20 reasons I left reddit was the rather widespread nature of people with genuine mental health issues being prevelent, and that often, they simply just get down votes and not anything resembling compassionate suggestions for finding help.

I haven’t seen many severely mentally ill people that can make it through the low bar of registering for Lemmy and be functional enough to post. But, I guess here we are.

No! We want only Maleportation and Femaleportation, as was determined by the vehicle’s zygote at conception. /s
