The embargo and blockade of Cuba and the US’s stance on asylum for anyone fleeing communist countries. I’m not sure when the asylum policy was put in place but the sentiment had to be there before or was implemented. “Better dead than red” was common saying from the time and later.
Obviously no. The immigration event is an effect caused by the crisis. I do appreciate the logic though

shadyhappened, y’all.
Well, yeah. My first interaction with the internet was a friend’s technical savvy dad who had compuserve.
yeah, I’d really like a thing like jellyseerr that’s easy to hook into the *arrs for browsing for suggested/popular/new music.
Funny thing, I tried using newsgroups for their intended purpose after rediscovering that Thunderbird is also a newsreader. The amount of topics is large (and really old), but the ones I checked out haven’t had many updates. Though i admit I haven’t been brave enough to dive into the alt. group yet. It reminds me of the internet before the web.
How much is Jack involved? He was the reason Twitter went to shit to begin with.
Leeloo Dallas multipass
Thrawn came entirely from the books. The hype would not have existed for his appearance in the show had the books he was in been on the quality level of the sequels.
Hell, the sequels should have been based on the Thrawn trilogy
They all had a stamp of approval from George Lucas though. Once Disney bought the franchise they said fuck all that and made it “not cannon”.
From the translation notes on Job 6:23
The עָרִיצִים ('aritsim) are tyrants, the people who inspire fear (Job 15:20; 27:13); the root verb עָרַץ ('arats) means “to terrify” (Job 13:25).
The NET translation
Or ‘Deliver me from the enemy’s power, and from the hand of tyrants ransom me’?
It’s exactly why I really like the NET translation. Getting context for why or how the original text gets translated to English is incredibly valuable to me. Here in this context I’m sure aritsim doesn’t literally mean tyrant, but the people became synonymous with the definition like “Shaka, when the walls fell” means failure.
King James notoriously removed mentions of the word tyrant in his English translations.
It’s why I like the NET translation as it includes translation notes from the original languages
Legends is cannon. Disney cannon is just expensive fanfiction
It would have to distinguish between dirt and dust and clear coat, paint, primer, and metal.
Not that it matters much for this outcome, but it’s a state owned oil company. It is run by Trinidad and Tobago. So replace CEO and directors with president/prime minister and parliament.
It’s run by Jack. The same Jack, founder of Twitter that was at the helm while Twitter went to shit before Musk got it. I know Musk era has been really bad, but it was getting really bad under Jack. I wouldn’t trust a social network run by him or Musk or Zuck.
There’s an algae that grows in diesel. Whatever additive you get make sure it’s got a biocide in it.
Thanks. This did the trick. Any chance you’ll make Lemmy redirect compatible with Voyager?
