It’s more that they chose to run the party finances as a company. The company itself cannot compete in elections as a candidate and does not get representation at parliament.
New Orleans did vote against him. It was the only parish in the state to do so
This sounds like the spaghetti bolognese you offer an Italian house guest when you want them to leave
He looks like he knows exactly how handsome he is

Which looks like I just held ctrl+v until it seemed suitably silly.
A = straight man who performs in drag shows, interested in B B = straight woman, interested in C C = straight man who doesn’t know what a drag queen is and thinks they’re women (a genderswapped Mulan situation), interested in A’s drag persona
I have no idea if this is what python actually meant by “a Mulan situation” but now this feels like I’m trying to solve a sudoku or something
The dude went to a drag queen show without understanding what the whole concept was
They must surely be too busy confusing child abusers with foot fetishists for us to worry about it
Alaric. He’s a black cat, so I named him after a Goth
The Amazing Bulk is a straight-to-DVD rip-off of the Incredible Hulk that somehow manages to make that description far too generous. I actually do recommend looking into it. Not to watch it, more just to gawk and try to figure out whether any of it was ever intended seriously
While the experiment is not the first for space-to-Earth laser communications, it’s the first using a commercially available ground station, according to Morizur.
The article should have mentioned the NASA test, though
No need to reference Orwell, the Forever War is already its own piece of dystopian fiction
Was this photo taken some time around 2007 or did something change that made this year so bad?
I’m using the term “allowed” in the sense of “China agreed to this and put it in its own law”. Freedom of navigations exercises are a way to tell a country “Do what you promised, we are willing to fight you about it if you don’t”. Since China has not actually stopped this exercise, it is following the treaty despite all its complaints. Even America follows the treaty, despite having not signed it.
Being signatories to a treaty is not decisive if no one follows the treaty.
Yeah, this is true. The treaty is just the specific set of terms (almost) everyone agreed to and continues to follow. Since everyone almost everyone agreed to it and everyome does follow it, it’s an easy point of reference to get international cooperation on. I’m sure the reaction would be quite different if China had fired on this ship vs if it had done so in a world with no agreements on territorial waters and innocent passage. In the latter case, a lot of countries would probably just tell Germany “well why did you sail a gunship where you weren’t supposed to?”
Wasn’t Starlink saying it would refuse to comply with the court order to stop serving ex-Twitter in Brazil? Could this be related to that?
There is UNCLOS, which China signed up to. It defines the limits of territorial waters (they are not extensive enough to cover the whole Taiwan strait even if the same country controlled both sides) and also permits passage through straits even when they would otherwise be against that law so long as you only travel through and don’t stop
There is a whole category in the link showing which ones are for air defence. 55 Gepards, 7 IRIS-T systems, and 3 Patriot systems look like the biggest items on the list
