This game is going the way I thought it would (currently 17-3, with ND in red zone). Indiana has done a GREAT JOB building the program in one year. But there's no way they can build a top physical O-line or D-line in one year. Their ranking is very over-rated.

Holy crap! Notre Dame receivers have been making fingertip catches all night!

Yes you mean like China's no intervention policy? /s

 

The Arakan Army (AA) has reportedly captured the Western Region Military Command headquarters in Ann Township, Rakhine State, marking a significant development in the ongoing conflict in the region. A military source close to the AA confirmed the capture on 16 December, stating that many personnel surrendered and raised white flags.

“The AA’s capture of the Western Command signals a weakening of the Military Council’s position in Rakhine State,” said U Myat Tun, director of the Rakhine Human Rights Defenders Association.

He added that simultaneous attacks on other key locations like Sittwe, Kyaukphyu, and Myanaung could further shift the balance of power, allowing the Rakhine people to pursue their long-awaited [goal of] self-determination.

That's how they survive, isn't it.

Freeland is staging a coup. I don't want her to be the next leader either. She is too close to the billionaire class.

 

Myanmar’s military has been destroying entire villages in northern Mandalay Region since recapturing them late last month, according to locals and resistance forces operating in the area.

Do you have evidence that rebate cheques didn't work? Show ME. There isn't any published saying EITHER way.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yeah just here. Didn't you see Douggie get re-elected with the same gimmick? that's what I meant.

Uh oh, Daddy Elon won't like that.

I agree. It's a gimmick. That didn't stop Doug Ford. He's doing it again. Nobody's complaining. I won't. I won't complain against re-distribution of money to average joe no matter what form it takes.

No they don't think they are! That's why they voted for Trump!

The cheques are gimmicky yes, but they are communicative and have also been effective. Ontario's conservatives did this to get re-elected, and they're doing it again. It is also a direct re-distribution of wealth to the 99%, the same way our governments have been giving handouts to the corps and wealth. There are a lot of things I fault Trudeau for but not this one.

This is about as stupid as it gets. The move had nothing to do with gender. It's a struggling PM trying to bring fresh faces into his cabinet in a desperate attempt to revive his flailing fortunes. Freeland's tenure as deputy PM and finance minister has been unremarkable, and at best have kept the status quo going that caters to the corporations and the rich. Only thing of note during her time was her stance on Ukraine. Perhaps she should've been foreign minister.
