The truth is though that ultimately, politicians are gonna be malleable to those who are going to vote
Literally not the truth; polls showed several times more voters wanted a ceasefire than who didn't and Kamala still decided to go with wholeheartedly supporting the genocide.
Sounds like she needs to just....Leavitt alone
It's 0 because communism is a moneyless system
Huh....so we may fail to achieve faster than light (FTL) travel but we could probably manage faster than stick (FTS) travel
Forget colder, I kind of feel like we're missing out on not hearing the sun thanks to space
False; no sun = no morning!
I hope to fucking hell you're right and I'm wrong.
To be honest I had my own doubts even when I posted that. The IDF have been very thorough in their murder of journalists, so there's going to be a huge lack of footage (and tiktok is apparently censoring pro-Palestine content).
Honestly I think it would be leagues more unpopular in America if Hamas videos come out of troops eating sniper rounds than in Israel when IDF troops were eating them. This war would be shockingly unpopular and I'm certain he knows it and won't chance it.
No it's okay, Goku called him to that alternate timeline and he destroyed it, and there's two Zenos now
Have you considered joining the Ukrainian reserves?
On a serious note, I hate dis. I need complete certainty about my day and I hate surprises. My days all thankfully blend into each other and provided no outside interference happens, I know how my day will progress.
I'm ordering noodles for lunch and I'm going to watch squid games season 2; tomorrow I'm going to have Korean for lunch and will continue squid games season 2. Both nights I will eat chips and watch birdgirl. On Thursday I will have chicken and mushroom pie and watch squid games. What I choose to have for dinner will be what little chaos I allow in my life. I will also watch birdgirl.
The enclave will be expecting it, and the Frank they're sending ain't the one from Philadelphia
In favor:
You can show off your cat (can't personally attest as I despise pets, but others seem to enjoy them)
I can think of another way but I'm not typing it
Isn't it obvious? It's 'loo'; when you use this site you're 'going to the loo'.
My father also had a Seagate he kept old family photos on that just unexpectedly died. Their stuff is trash.
The three gorges dam has had an actual effect on the rotation of the earth (slowing it down by 0.06 seconds)
censorship
I wish I believed it was censorship; the way they talked, it was complicity.
Anyone here think journalists will finally be allowed in to extensively study everything, or do you think Israel will still prevent them going in? I can't imagine Israel would be stupid enough to allow in journalists from around the world to confirm that yes, this was a genocide, especially not with an arrest warrant already out on Netanyahu and the defense minister.
Gonna be honest, despite me having no faith in Israel, I think they genuinely did not want this ceasefire in the first place unlike in Lebanon; I still think everything will be bad going forward, but at least there will probably be an end to the missile strikes. The fact that they're doing this ceasefire tells me that for some reason they're scared of Trump (and I genuinely don't know why; he honestly does not strike me as anti-Israel in the slightest).
There will definitely be zero restitution, and I think even if Trump is going to put his foot down on this ceasefire, even he won't demand restitution.
Genuinely speaking, Palestine has lost so much compared to what they've gained (the eyes and ears of many around the globe), but Israel has certainly lost any goodwill they had except with Germany and the American government (I'd like to think most of us are firmly pro-Palestine at this point, or at least not pro-Israel). I think any government that continues to support Israel at this point are at least under no illusion that they're helping some poor, weak country that needs salvation (and by illusion, I mean they can't even lie to themselves anymore about it).
Venezuelans + Cubans versus Palestinians versus Liberals when an American candidate hostile to them wins the presidential election
Venezuelans + Cubans: Take our goods and live
Palestinians: Learn from our experience on how to protect yourselves
Libs: lol, I hope you die
Why are the dredge tank and dunk tank currently locked?
You're not gonna get us to log off; let us post!
It's never gonna get better in America
I admit I don't know where the third poster is from, but I feel it's a safe guess to say America; plus lots of folks back home feel this way anyway even if this person in particular isn't American.
Black Myth Wukong epically calling out the Brits
There's someone called the Lingji monk in the game and he's headless; apparently he's headless because the head of the real statue of the Lingji monk is in the British museum.
EDIT: I looked up the video of his character on youtube and Chinese people are making jokes such as 'he learned English in the British museum', lol
Leftists begging liberals regarding fascism (I don't know what to title it without spoiling it)
Not mine; got it off a twitter link
(CW: Racism) Remember people, it's the North Koreans who are propagandized
These people make utter fools of themselves and then want us to think it's the people of the DPRK who are propagandized. Dear God I hope to live to see Western countries become more irrelevant.
Questions about the USSR and China under Mao
My own knowledge on communism and how it was practiced by the USSR and Mao's China is severely lacking, but I work with a colleague who had some questions (most of them familiar, but I don't personally know the answer) and I said I'd ask some folks who'd know better; his questions were:
- Did people all have the exact same salary regardless of job?
- In positions that were similar and worked in close proximity, for example nurses and doctors, what were the differences in their salary if they had different salaries according to job? Even if a doctor made more than a nurse, was it noticeably so or only minorly? Were these salaries comparable to American salaries?
- If a colleague was completely lazy and did no work, did he get paid a salary, and in the same amount as hard working colleagues?
- I told him that under Mao, landlords were given the option of handing over their lands/apartments/additional housing and were executed if they refused. Was this accurate or was I mistaken?
