Ukraine’s willingness to hold talks with Russia already a big compromise
I we were attacked; our #territories were occupied. Tens of thousands of people were #killed, many children & adults were buried alive Zelensky said
The fact #Ukraine is ready to #negotiate table the #terrorists who organized all this on our land is a big #compromise

Sounds scary, opposing parties having to work together for the good of the people.
It'll never catch on in the US
What's your Breaking Bad scenario? If you had unpayable expenses and terrible nonpayment consequences, what might you realistically do in your desperation?
Of course you might say "I'd do anything," but Walter White had chemistry skillz. What are you qualified to do? What life or job experience or creative talent could you leverage--after seriously bending some morality and/or laws--into Big Cash?
Me, I am pretty boring. I'd probably do my damnedest to do research/data science for a SaaS company or a big consulting firm. Or sell out and try to become a university provost, then start some graft and hardcore corruption. Maybe I could try to write erotica, or, more realistically, *silly* erotica, but that market is probably super competitive.
Wow, this is a little depressing. I assumed I'd have some lucrative + dramatic options, but... seriously, yours has to be more interesting than mine.
Edit: If anyone else responds to this, maybe be aware of the concerns in the comments about law enforcement (et al.) someday dredging this up. Probably not super dangerous for me, but I didn't have any good ideas, so

As we give thanks today for all we have and to all those that got us to where we are right now, the ones responsible for making any of it possible in the first place, let's also say a #prayer for those less fortunate, having never experienced #love , having never seen the light.
Yeah, #RobinVos , the one that's on his third wife and doesn't have any #children

The Identity Politics of Masculinity as a Colonial Legacy
"The #PreColonial #Indonesian notion of personhood diverges from a western conceptualisation and is expressed instead through #cooperation, #mutuality, #sharing, #caring, and a readiness to #negotiate and #compromise – all of which are characteristics that are associated with feminine qualities and were thus considered inferior according to #Eurocentric understandings of the #subordination of women in #WesternSociety"
by Desi Dwi Prianti

"[In this paper] I argue that a hierarchical structure between masculine and the feminine was introduced by the #Dutch #colonisers – a structure in which they considered themselves to represent the superior, masculine side of the binary, whereas the colonised were seen as their effeminate subjects."

The system in the #USA is absolutely anti-democractic garbage and a lot of people even back in 2016 would've rather wanted #BernieSanders + #AOC but alas it wasn't going to happen.
Unlike actual #democracies the #USA doesn't have "ranked choice" or proportionality voting and #JillStein can be the best person in the world, but #KamalaHarris + #TimWaltz is basically locked in at this point and it's essential to prevent #Trump by all means necessary...

I think as a a #compromise we should exempt #tennant-owned #housing in the form of #cooperatives as these are legally bound to represent the interests of their members = tennants.
At least in Germany if they are incoporated as a cooperative.
But then again all non - self-used and -owned housing should be organized as a cooperative...
Oh man. Please, be less stupid. In response to the #xz #compromise replying/mentioning a "Of course, #systemd" is idiotic.
It is also idiotic to come and say that XZ/LZMA is a bad archiver with a bad format.
Stupid, brainless and entirely and completely the most dumb thing one can do.
Whatever one may think about the format or an entirely unrelated software - they both have NOTHING to do with a determined attacker becoming upstream maintainer and putting shit into code.
It appears that the internet is on fire again. Nick Burgan took the initiative to build a quick module to orchestrate the #XZ #backdoor detection across your infrastructure.
All the usual disclaimers apply. It uses the detection script proposed on the OpenWall mailing list. The nature of this #compromise means that our understanding of it will continue to evolve for weeks. Your help to improve detection methods would be greatly appreciated!
Holy Hell. 
Federal election subverson #charges.
Per Slate.
After oral arguments at the #SupremeCourt in a grand #bargain that appears to make practical sense as a #compromise is beginning to come into view: The Supreme Court unanimously, or nearly so, holds that #Colorado does #not have the #power to #removeDonald Trump from the #ballot, but in a separate case it rejects his #immunity argument and makes #Trump go on #trial this spring or summer on #federalelectionsubversion charges.

…as noted by an editorial in leading French newspaper Le Monde, the #House’s disarray reflects the bigger issue of a #legislature where #gerrymandering & low voter participation in primaries has yielded a cadre of lawmakers who view #compromise as “anathema,” especially among the #GOP.
Good intentions have been chewed up in the #political machinery, lost to intense #partisanship, vast #ideological differences, #BadFaith & a refusal to #compromise as bands of #FarRight #Republicans in the #House & #Senate have proven unyielding even to their own leaders.
Raymond Chandler wrote in "The Long Goodbye" (1953) - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Goodbye_(novel):

"There ain't no clean way to make a hundred million bucks," Ohls said. "Maybe the head man thinks his hands are clean but somewhere along the line guys got pushed to the wall, nice little businesses got the ground cut from under them and had to sell out for nickels, decent people lost their jobs, stocks got rigged on the market, proxies got bought up like a pennyweight of old gold, and the five per centers and the big law firms got paid hundred-grand fees for beating some law the people wanted but the rich guys didn't, on account of it cut into their profits. Big money is big power and big power gets used wrong. It's the system. Maybe it's the best we can get, but it still ain't any Ivory Soap deal."
---
Using an inflation calculator, I found the $100 million in 1953 is worth just over $1 billion in today's dollar, so Chandler's character Ohls is talking about billionaires.

“The most familiar example of integrating as the social process is when two or three people meet to #decide on some course of action, and separate with a purpose, a will, which was not possessed by anyone when he came to the meeting but is the result of the interweaving of all. In this true social process there takes place neither absorption nor #compromise.” Mary P. #Follett, 1924

The compromises Republican hardliners want from McCarthy will give just a small number of them the ability to significantly harm the country and tank the economy.
