I don’t think men need a protected category for most sports, so having both would just be duplication.

That explains it being like the 90s. That’s Australia in general. New Zealand is more like the 70s.

Depends on what stage of life you’re at.

I realise it’s a shot across the bow, but the intent seems to be to cause distress. Not to cause damage or steal secrets. Right now they seem to be achieving their goal.

That’s why you’re a random rube on the internet and not a member of the Joint Chiefs.

A fair point. They’ll be much better informed than me on what the real tangible threat is. All I’m saying is that it’s not clear to me what the threat is.

Just make the mens competition an “open” competition so that anybody can qualify if they can. A trans-woman competing in the “open” category would be no problem.

Other categories can then stay protected.

Wish they’d be more precise. Are they armed drones? If not…who cares. If we’re just talking DJI knockoffs then even if they are piloted by russians I think we’d be better off ignoring them.

Doesn’t interviewing a potential witness count as investigating Trump?

As a Brit… Government policy is doing a pretty good job. Everything is making running an independent site completely infeasible. They’re legislating as if the only people who run sites are big tech corporations who have money to burn on compliance.

I’m assuming the duck’s on top

They probably are. They’re trying to make sure it hasn’t leaked onto archive.is.

Israel does. Compulsory service.

Well he found out about the sub-prime mortgage fiasco by looking at the public filings that nobody bothers reading. All of the companies involved are public companies that have to file accounts. He’ll be tracing what’s going on and painting himself a picture.

Not sure if it’s exactly the same kit but you can get that for £300 in the UK.

Does this mean Portland should deploy bears to deal with soldier attacks?

Every military ever.

The concept that a soldier is able to disobey an illegal order is flawed. The first thing that happens to them is being thrown in jail awaiting court martial. It’s then on them to prove the order illegal be ause the presumption is that it was legal. It becomes one person against the whole military apparatus.

The penalty if found guilty of refusing to obey orders? At minimum (in the US) a dishonorable discharge. At most a room on death row.

I still think soldier should refuse illegal orders, but the system is setup so they don’t.

I’m not sure Hong Kong is a good example. It was returned to China from the UK in the 90s. So everything since then is “internal”.

Tibet on the other hand…

You realise avoiding the anxiety is worse than dealing with it.

Global war between who?

Russia has been shown to be a paper tiger. China wants to dominate through trade not warfare. Everybody else doesn’t really have an axe to grind. At least, not on that scale.

I see you like to party with Bernie.

There’s a different between hype and advertising.

For one, advertising is regulated.
