I presume showered, not particularly gross or oily looking from excessive not washing, not full of crumbs from your meal last night, that kind of thing. And neat = well groomed so reasonably maintained in some way that isn't just frizzy hair floating all over from bed-head. I presume it tends to more apply to anglo hair types where individual strands of hair can just go all over. I don't think it hurts to wear the cap though as you said.

Ultimately it's subjective based on whoever the person judging is but I don't think it's anything to worry too much about.

Just keep it neat and clean I think is the thing.

Definitely doesn't hurt to air on the side of caution. Though they definitely could try to use that in racist ways I presume hopefully they just are trying to stop people showing up with out of bed hair mess everywhere because it makes the bosses feel like their precious employee rolled out of bed 4 minutes before job start and didn't take the time to "get ready" for their day working for them properly. There's a certain mentality among managers who put on their dress shirt and slacks every day after styling their hair and getting their coffee that there is a right and wrong way to start the work day and guess what their way of getting in the right attire and "mindset" is the right way and encourages productivity so they think. Meanwhile the thinking goes getting up late, not getting in the right mindset with the right dress and grooming is the habit of a lazy person who won't give them the 110% they've been drilled to expect in their propaganda mills.

Same thing with the head-covering rule, sounds like they don't want maskers and have a real "we want to see your face and your smile so we know you're not making faces at us, it's part of getting to know you blah blah blah". So I'm thinking that won't be an issue as long as you don't cover your eyes, mouth, and their way of seeing your expressions while on video with them.

Best of luck comrade, you got this!

The US will continue to circle the drain for as long as its population is kept like this. You can't make rational and correct decisions without having a good grasp of the reality that exists in the world.

Counterpoint: US won the first cold war with a deeply deceived, paranoid population that believed everything was the Russians from civil rights and uppity POC to more mundane things. In fact the US at the height of its power last century in the 50s was full of raving, rabid anti-communism, witch-hunts, etc but it went onto form the US of the 60s, 70s, 80s, and finally 90s that destroyed the USSR and became global hegemon.

The level of deception of the population and its detachment from reality therefore seems to have little basis on long-term trajectory for a country's power. In fact having external antagonists is helpful to the bourgeoisie as a relief vale for blame turning towards them. Every liberal raving about Russia is one who is less focused on American billionaires and corporations and whose worldview is shaped to view internal problems as mere tendrils of foreign antagonists who are the real issue to be hunted down. You need merely plausibly say the proletarian issue at hand is actually caused by Russian agents to deflect. Meanwhile this encourages a feverish appeal to jingoist nationalism with liberals and mainstream reactionaries both belting out and proclaiming how they're the better patriots who love America better because the other side of the aisle sides with a foreign power. Both encouraged and desperate to signal their patriotism by cracking down hard and shunning "foreign" ideologies like Marxism in order to retain their patriotism credentials and continue to enjoy the self-righteous feeling it brings.

The US will continue to be a deeply reactionary place as a result of this behavior that we can say. This behavior obstructs true class analysis that we can say. But its impact on American power? Not so easy to say and I feel probably negligible compared to other factors like the rise of China, de-industrialization, late capitalist greed and calcification obstructing the war machine, etc.

It's about punishing and pressuring Russian civilians so the support for the war wanes and maybe it even sets the groundwork for a change in government or creates enough pain the Russian government is more willing to concede on its demands somewhat.

Also Ukrainian military/intelligence are sadistic nazis who enjoy doing terror attacks against Russians who they consider subhumans and this sates that urge. So anything that makes them suffer is good in their mind.

That said, arrest him on the basis of matching a description for someone who a shoplifted a bag of dorritos or literally anything.

Not possible. Even if you gave that order to the cops and they tried to follow it (big if), secret service and other agencies would bodily block them and put guns in their faces to prevent it while flashing diplomatic immunity until they relented (cops aren't gonna die for your politics). Importantly there would be an investigation into why this happened. Cops being not at all interested in doing this would happy give evidence that the Mayor abused his office to order this kind of political arrest hit. It would immediately blow up into a scandal, he'd be investigated and probably arrested by the FBI under some sort of charges that would actually stick as the law as written does prevent you using it for personal grudges to just harass people and powerful people can ensure in their case it isn't. And that would be the end of his time in office. Meanwhile nothing of substance would be achieved and the right would be driven even further into a frothing murderous rage and paranoia.

The only way that kind of thing works is if the police themselves instigate it or are happily part of it and it can all be done on verbal insinuations not written or radioed orders so the buck stops at the arresting officers and/or some lowly sergeant.

Pass laws preventing renting rooms, serving food, providing transportation, to people in this situation. (Try to make them sufficiently narrow that they don't get applied to leftists....)

Not really legal at all. The closest you could get would be sanctions but cities lack the authority to issue them on their own soil against the rights of persons and private businesses. Closest he could actually try to do is BDS type stuff against investments using city money but that's functionally nothing when the federal government prints them all the money they need.

What he should do is use his platform for pro-Palestinian stuff. Official pronouncements recognizing the on-going genocide, the Nabka, etc. Putting up Palestinian flags where not barred from doing so, speeches condemning the entity and its genocide. Raising awareness and trying to stem any harassment of pro-Palestine organizers is about the best he can do.

I presume intimidation and/or sanctions. Though adding sitting Democrat soc-dem mayor is a funny bit so I'm not sure how serious this is as a document for anything but politicking. If they were seriously going to go after and sanction people as extensions of the foreign agents/anti-terror type sanctions they can slap on anybody and anything I think they'd leave out prominent Democrats and people like Goodman as impractical and just go after the out of office activists and use it to make twitch deplatform Hasan.

Are they actually going to convince Trump to do a land invasion? (GCC troops plus US support) Wild if so but the US will never give up the zionist entity so I guess it makes sense they'd seriously consider it.

"Hey Grok is this a false positive? It's not really hackers right?"

"You are correct that is absolutely a false positive, those are quite common, would you like me to tell you more about the history of false positives?"

That's for high speed trading. By early access they mean like a few minutes at most and more than likely a lead measured in seconds which is enough for trading algos to get an advantage. No way they mean to delay his posts by any significant time-frame because it's just not necessary.

That attitude had to piss Epstein off because his whole thing is networking powerful people to get more powerful people around to blackmail some of them to get access to more people to blackmail and Elon being all like "oh I don't care to go just to see some UN people and help you network and advance your agenda" had to push him towards the shit-list and the ghosting by Ghislaine we see in the later emails. Elon literally being entitled about the child abuse network and refusing to do the cover story stuff like all the others, just incredible energy.

That's right four hundred forty masks (6 cents per). Yes it's Amazon but this is a good deal.

This is the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08J1THV9G

It is from a sub-company of Amazon that specializes in deals so it is legit-ish. The ones a close friend received came in an official 3M branded box (a huge brown box not retail packaging).

They're individually packaged in the official sealed wrappers, had lot codes on them and looked to be in good shape. No weird smells either and the elastic and nose pieces seemed fine. No expiration dates unfortunately if that's super important but the box had a barcode and I suppose you could contact 3M and ask about that lot number.

Zionist entity sought to kill Khamenei according to a TV interview in the entity Source: Russia Today

Apparently they weren't able to because he went into serious hiding. He didn't contact or accept contact with any of the new people who replaced the assassinated IRGC generals. There was a report a day or so ago about there being problems reaching him for negotiations because he didn't have any comms where he was and it was difficult to get to him so I believe this and this also shows the lengths the entity will go to decapitate its enemies. If he'd been a little less serious about protecting himself and remained in operational command they'd have dropped a bunker buster on his head just like Nasrallah IMO. This also I think is a serious threat in the near future if Bibi gets another indictment dropped on his head or whatever and would likely lead to the war they desperately crave which would force a US intervention. They said they'd do it without US approval too. Iran needs air defense.

Just imagining it now: "I spent over a year as a guest of Hamas and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"

No, they're going to coach at least a few of them into making up stories about horrors and atrocities and put those obviously staged and coerced "stories" on blast in the western news media. And if they can't coach any into that they'll just make it up like theremoveds and the western media will keep repeating it and using it to bash pro-Palestinians over the head.

On a related note. Bets on whether this ceasefire results in the ICC/ICJ washing their hands of the whole thing or the US managing to lean on South Africa enough to drop the case? Because I just can't see the west not pulling out all the stops to brush this whole thing under a rug and say it's in the past.
