The convention nominated him while, outside, tear gas filled the air during what a report from a special federal commission later called a police riot that meted out violence to antiwar demonstrators as well as some journalists. Inside the turbulent convention, dissenting delegates were outshouted, outvoted and suppressed by the pro-Humphrey forces.
The chaos and bitterness in Chicago underscored how the vice president’s deference to the war president had weakened the party while undermining the chances for victory. In polls, Humphrey trailed the Republican candidate Richard Nixon by double digits.
Such branding will be a sharp contrast to the outcries from thousands of protesters in Chicago outside the Democratic National Convention next week, as they denounce U.S. complicity with the methodical killing of so many children, women and other civilians in Gaza.
it used to feel like we were intentionally repeating history; and we are; but it’s because we don’t pay attention to it in the first place when it disagrees with the world view that we’ve been taught to hold.
this experience started my understanding that the people in charge are no different than you or I and will do anything to protect themselves and their power at all costs sometimes and doing so will usually work for them.
i’ve heard from managers, engineers and scientists in new york, los angeles, austin, and san francisco that the quality of american engineers & scientists was severely lacking.
i took the fact that they would only say this in private to a friendly group of people in a non-professional setting and, even then, never in english to be nothing more than anecdotal; but i hearing it for the first time in chicago this past weekend and reading this article is making me see that there’s truth to it.
The Vanguard sex footage follows claims that a different submarine captain put his manhood in the pocket of a female sub-lieutenant on board.
that was his mistake; women remember that shit for some weird ass reason.
it’s a reuben; but that name is licensed so they call it a russian sandwich.
it’s near the museum of modern history in manhattan.
the corned beef is chunked out into thin-ish shards instead of sliced like all of the other reubens.
the saurkraut is homemade; thick; crunchy; and tart af and the rye is also homemade and super tangy. i suspect that they make the saurkraut the same way they make mexican style pickled jalapenos/carrots/onions/etc.
they also make their own dressing and it’s got a fantastic kick to it entirely due to the fact that the entire staff is mexican; no one speaks english and none of the patrons are wasp americans. (you’re not welcome if you can only speak english).
i haven’t had that sandwich since 2009 and i still crave and fantasize about it each time i want a delicious sandwich so good that it makes you lick your hands clean after you eat it.
i’ve stopped eating reubens because they pale so badly in comparison that it makes me angry to be reminded that i paid for such a THOROUGHLY mediocre alternative.
So having to go through the hassle of showing family members VPNs and setting them up wouldn’t be worth it compared to just pirating.
agreed and it never ceases to amaze me that asking people to double click on an icon on their desktop for a shell/powershell script that will start both the vpn and netflix is just too technical for someone to do even though they do it all the time anyways for their other applications.
… but it’s kind of a bummer when you want to just put something on.
this is a good thing for me; i descend from hardcore couch potatoes and i think that not having access to put something on is the only reason i get to avoid it.
