It’s just clickbait.

Looks like cucurbitaceae but couldn’t say much beyond that. Brazil is not well known to me.

Was it growing on a vine?

“ongoing bilateral engagement”

Yeah this is gonna turn into another CECOT isn’t it.

Not the best choice of photo but LA is literally under military occupation right now.

There’s an excellent podcast on this project if it interests you.

I find it really hard to give up, personally. If I didn’t fly I would basically never see my family.

lol I just got banned for commenting in this thread. Not sure what I even said but presumably for criticizing the IDF’s war crimes. The mods there are unhinged.

Any play podcast recs? Maybe listening to a few games will give me a better sense than just reading.

I looked into playing briefly but it seemed more complicated and confusing than 5e which my players can already barely handle.

He can’t be sent to El Salvador but I believe they can send him elsewhere unfortunately.

Do people actually care about this or is it just a media thing? It seems like such a minor thing to be upset about… especially when his opponents are accused of sexual abuse and corruption.

I wish the fascists a rich and fulfilling life completely devoid of any power to harm other people.

What case? He’s dead, why would there be a case against him?

More accurately, they’re both separate descendants of ethnonationalism which was a popular ideology at that time. And still today, evidently, though it seemed to be in decline for a bit during the post-war period.

They’re not rolling over. They’re actively supporting ongoing ethnic cleansing and military occupation in LA. They are traitors to their own people.

If they just stayed home the LA community could solve this themselves.

These numbers can’t be used to make the assessment you’re making. You need to know the relative proportion of pedestrians vs. drivers. If there are 10x pedestrians then the 6% increase would be far more people. Also, pedestrians and drivers don’t spend money in the same proportions or ways.

I’m guessing there is data on small business activity we could look at, although you would need to compare to neighboring districts to account for a cooling economy.

Abolish the LAPD.

Well, you’re denying people certain basic freedoms based on who their parents were. Not all countries provide citizenship based on ancestry, and this means that denying birthright citizenship can lead to statelessness, which is very dangerous for those people. So for them, it is a requirement for a basic and normal life free from state violence.

Which we don’t currently have…

A nation isn’t a community, at least not in any real, human sense. We barely even know many of our neighbors, let alone those across the country.

The fact that it’s common doesn’t make it right. All of these policies were adopted following the rise of race science, fascism, nationalism, etc. It’s surprising people haven’t started to push back on them more yet.
