Times when it's acceptable to serve spoiled food: When there's an actual famine because of an apocalyptic catastrophe, and the other option is starvation.

Oh yeah and also when you've arrested refugees and thrown them into camps.

How much of the fast food had spoiled by the time Trump had served it to those athletes?

They only solved Go in the sense that a computer can beat any human, but no human can do what that computer can do, so the game fortunately lives on.

I love Go, it's seriously the best game ever.

There was an episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles called “Strange Things Happen at the One Two Point” where they used Go’s complexity over Chess as a way to explaining how much more advanced Skynet was from current day computers, and it revolved around explaining this saying. I’m not a Go player, but that episode got me to research it and I’m really fascinated by it.

And out of all the fiction that depicted possible futures; the one was the closest to getting it right was Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

An anime inspired by events on 2-chan, in turn inspired 4-chan to try and replicate the information warfare techniques depicted in SACduring their war with the cult of Scientology. These information warfare techniques would a decade later become the primary basis for political/social conflict- on an internet that (as depicted in SAC) had come to dominate virtually all aspects of human interaction.

An investigation has found nooses in cells of US immigration detention centres with staff serving spoiled food and wrongly putting people in isolation.

Homeland security inspectors visited four Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) centres and described “egregious violations” of standards at two of them including inadequate medical care.

Between May and November 2018, investigators arrived unannounced at Adelanto ICE Processing Centre in California, LaSalle ICE Processing Centre in Louisiana, Aurora ICE Processing Centre in Colorado and Essex County Correctional Facility in New Jersey.

The first three are privately run by GEO Group; together the four sites can hold up to 4,981 people.

The worst conditions, constituting “immediate risks or egregious violations of detention standards” were encountered at Adelanto and Essex County.

“At Adelanto, lunch meat and cheese were mixed and stored uncovered in large walk-in refrigerators; lunch meat was also unwrapped and unlabeled; chicken smelled foul and appeared to be spoiled; and food in the freezer was expired,” inspectors said.

Yeah I am strongly suspecting that Mexico bullshitted him fully, and why not, they could somehow reduce all undocumented immigration on the planet to nothing and in three weeks he'd start treating them exactly the same. Might as well just say "yeah no totally dude, we hear you" and let him move on to his next statement regarding the moon.

I'd bet Mexico offered a vague do-nothing placation on Monday, and Trump babbled about it while signatures were being collected so he could look like he was being a tough boy and 'wearing them down' even after the specifics* had been already decided by others.

This kind of thing is why I think so much of our current situation is performative. Trump might think he's doing things, but the [major crisis! Trump is wrecking havoc! Good lord what's going on! Oh nothing. Status Quo + more state power and a little more racism] has happened repeatedly over the past two years. We don't know what happened yet, but I can't be alone in seeing this pattern, right? Things get a little bit worse, Trump does something stupendously stupid, everyone freaks out, things don't get a LOT worse, everyone calms down: repeat.

To clarify: things get continually worse, but gradually, and everyone who points it out looks crazy because the BIG poo poo doesn't happen.

I get you, but I don't think this shower of shitehawks has anything close to the intelligence or skill needed for such a play. I think it's just that there are still forces of good in the world, and they don't have enough power to stop everything, but do have enough to stop at least some things. Plus Trump is the dumbest rear end in a top hat in history, and can't stick with anything more challenging than a happy meal tray liner, so he's not at all competent enough to actually implement most of his poo poo.

E; I do think things are getting worse and even putting climate aside I am not at all convinced they will be put better.

Some the Bush administration people have suggested publicly in the last couple days (atleast that's what I heard on the radio) cooperation with Mexico to prevent immigrants from getting into Mexico to transit to the US. I think that means what's happening here on our souther border gets moved to there on Mexico's border.

I'm inclined to think that would be worse.

And tbf Mexico has been wanting to interdict its southern border to various degrees for various reasons for a while. If our fash were competent, they could send a buncha resources down there and make both governments happy.

assuming AMLO holds the same opinion about the southern Mexican border, about which I haven't even the slightest clue

They've also been already stopping people at their southern borders at our direction. Clown Hitler just wants them to like, shoot them or something horrifying and unspeakable. We'll settle on them spending some X% more on "interdiction efforts" and the world will be slightly shittier because of his insane tweetstorms.

So I have just learned. I have it across that commercial because it prefaced a YouTube mountaineering video I was watching. The blatant association of the military with Christianity was unpleasantly jarring. I wasn't aware they were a bunch of these private Christian colleges preying on the military, although in retrospect I really should have just assumed.
