This helps put into perspective how big $300 billion is that we would be giving to Iran...

Oh dear - ARC Raiders was logging your private Discord chats
This feels like more an issue with Discord even allowing these chats to leak like this. Why would any other app have access to that information?

It's sad that Trump actually won the state in the election and the popular vote, so that could affect the decision making by the leaders of the team

Joe Biden ends re-election campaign
Reply in thread
From the article you linked to:
Election law expert Richard Hasen wrote that there is "no credence" to the notion that the Democratic Party could not legally replace Biden on the ticket, as he is not the nominee yet -- the nominating process generally takes place during the Democratic National Convention.

Marine colonel who resigned because of Trump says personnel should question ‘illegal orders’

Resigning is a way to call attention to the problem while you still have most of your credibility. There would be a smear campaign against you, but the alternative situation might be after getting fired for cause, where it would be easier to believe that you are just making excuses to save face. Especially if you are already demoralized and don't have the energy to make a stand, you may start feeding the idea that you are just unfit for the job and lose support internally.
It also adds a bit of chaos into the organization that needs to replace you and may not have somebody prepared to step into a position haunted by this politicized issue and rocky transition. It does happen because organizations are made of limited and discrete people, but it is easy to be afraid of the infinite number of sycophants that must be ready to take their place.
It might be a tactic that is useful in limited situations, but I agree in general that we want rusty cogs slowing down the fascist machine.

Biden: What's happening in Gaza is not genocide
Reply in thread
Nope, our election system doesn't support it and actually has a spoiler effect because you end up tacitly supporting the other side by not voting for one of the two strongest parties.

Probably being able to go in bike lanes, shoulders, sidewalks, between cars, and other places where normal vehicles can't go. Generally this would be more flexible and nimble in last mile delivery.

The Democratic candidate is chosen at the convention, which hasn't happened yet. What would a legal contest even be based on?

"I don't want to disencentivise investment into America". But that's exactly what you did and you had no thought put into your actions except to catch more "illegals" and try to make an example out of a large corporation.
Nobody thought to use any brakes. Nobody knew that we could crash. At least inside of ICE and this administration.

Trump vows to prosecute Google for showing 'bad' stories on him
He's actually trying to build a narrative of distrust around tech companies and trying to reinforce that his information bubble is legitimate despite what it looks like. His supporters will eat it up and be manipulated into thinking certain ways without really knowing it.

Surely we can find hints that somebody is a Nazi before we find out that they've killed people.

Top MAGA Influencers Accidentally Unmasked as Foreign Trolls

I don't think people actually knew this, especially the fans it would matter to the most. People have blinders up of confirmation bias that filters out what they hear to pick up just the words that support their pre-existing ideas. Despite this, I hope it can be one realization that penetrates through their defenses and causes them to ask important questions again.
Also I wouldn't put it past Elon to be short-sighted.

How do you turn your nose off or deal with a heinous smell?
Sensitivity to smells will dissipate over a short time. Your senses will pay more attention to novel stimuli, so your nose will eventually get "bored" of it and stop even noticing it when you are acclimated enough.
