Wait was that an option?
The problem there is “presentism”. People have this tendency to see the present as somehow different or more real than past historical events. Slavery will be bundled with the Spanish inquisition in their mind as old things from before times. Before we had our modern thinking. They can mentally compartmentalize slavery. Maybe Jim Crowe would be a better example since there are still people alive today who remember it. Women in the US weren’t generally allowed to get a credit card or bank account in their own name until 1974.

I think any reasonable interpretation of that law wouldn’t include it being viewable only by an employee in a manner that you didn’t know could read it.

Haven’t they been doing that? I can’t remember where I heard it. But I heard they were mostly targeting storage tanks until they talked to a petrochemical engineer. They told Ukraine that there’s some critical bit that Russia can’t manufacture and they’ve been targeting those as much as possible since.

Other companies. We like to think that companies need end consumers to have at least some money to buy their stuff but that’s not true. Theoretically, an economy could self-sustain entirely with businesses and no end consumers.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Trump is hailing his new deal with Greenland and Denmark — but a deal already existed. So what changed?
4·22 days agounder the Military Code and under general law, no military officer can obey an order that is not legal. Basically, it completely prevents Trump from issuing a legal order to invade Greenland.
Nothing is stopping him from issuing an illegal order and his generals would be in more hot water by disobeying it than obeying it.
Any military is purpose built to remove individual autonomy. The ones who rise to the top are the ones who most believe in the chain of command. The idea that one of our generals (who have been purged during Trump’s second term) would disobey an order is laughable to me. Maybe every modern president has used the military in a way that is illegal according to US law, a treaty, or both.
















Ehh. I don’t see much value in the distinction. The meaning of roguelike has evolved.
