Very true.

How so? The other guy that wanted to buy the apartment offered 2.399m, so offering 2.4m was the lowest possible price to buy it. What's "blame worthy" about it?

An upvote of a comment, too.

Just as in other areas where countries use violence against each other's populations, it will be a question of the state defending its citizens.

Maybe, some day, there will be some sort of international agreement about what can be done and what must not be done. Like with ABC weapons.

Racism will exist as long as people look at the skin color or other generic markers to judge others. If you think it's okay to do so, that's sad.

Fighting racism with even more racism, will world three opposite result. It's not the first time in human history, that people mean well and create hell. It's just a different topic this time.

*your

I will consider it racist, yes, I prefer a "colorblind" world. Btw, every person in South Africa is the descendent of a "colonizer", black or white.

That was both on government capsules.

That's wasn't private, that was on a government space ship.

You're comment makes no sense.

I was going for "Journalists".

Interesting that people don't even seem to remember that those once existed

... multi-directional hop

What if the South African immigrant was black and had lived in the US for 40 years?

By that logic, does American Asian only refer to people with certain facial characteristics? And are American Europeans only those with a white skin color?

I mean here in Europe we have plenty of Europeans that are not white. So, if a black skinned German went to the US, people would suddenly label him "African" American, just based on his skin color?

That seems quite a racist use of those terms tbh.

...or Google+

Oh, wait

So basically you'd work for free for one of the wealthiest companies.

That's f'ed up.

Loved the SpaceX guy on handover to NASA: "... and thank you for flying on Falcon today!"

Private space flight started with this flight.

Really? I mean, every person has some flaws, sure. But most the things he does are just pretty awesome, and usually very good for humanity's future.

I'm not a fanboi trying to defend him. I just happen to like most of his projects, both for the technology and for their positive view of the future.

He's an African American, but still American.

Edit: why the downvote? Is he not?

The reason for complexity fetishisation (great term!) is to show everybody else how amazingly smart you are. It's the infrastructure version of "clever" code.

I like that alternative. Especially now that we have Rust and Actix Web.

Too bad, especially because only yesterday they put a weight simulator onto it. So it looked like it was going to fly.

Well, it did fly, just not in one piece.

Well, that's what happens when corporations are entrusted with the task of deciding what's right and wrong.

Yes, that's another thing Trump said that was purposefully "misunderstood".

There are many things to criticize him for. But sadly the media is so incredibly lazy that they constantly make up these "scandals" about things he supposedly "meant".

And: you are downvoted because you are not following groupthink. It doesn't matter how factually correct it is.

Shooting could refer to guns use by the looters. It could refer to self defense of police attacked by looters. It could simply be a word to symbolize violence of any kind. And there are many more interpretations.

But discussion about it isn't possible, sorry. I am heavily downvoted for not following groupthink, so I am rate limited when it comes to posting.

Oh well.

Why aren't people over there more upset about those reporters getting arrested by state police on the street? That was pretty f'ed up. But I guess when it can't be blamed on Trump, people over there just don't care.

So, were did he say "to shoot looters"?

That's just one possible interpretation, if you really want to understand him that way.

That would be a pretty good idea. Just need to come up with some way to limit access to only the own citizens for sensitive information. Maybe if only certain trusted people had access, and they would do it as their job, and then they would report their findings, and investigate wrongdoings they found, and then we would give them money to be able to read those reports about government wrongdoings... hm, how could we call those people?

> Police don't defend normal people or communities, that's not their job. Their job is to enforce the law, no matter how unjust the law is.

That's the difference between calling them "police" or calling them "law enforcement".

I think that it is no coincidence that Americans were "trained" to say "law enforcement".

Call them police, because a police officers first duty is to the community.

That would be really funny.

Imagine all the devs and supporters of Mastodon trying hard to come up with a pretext why it is okay to block him from the network via technical changes.

Sending police to stop violence is "glorifying violence"? How exactly?
