I think it is as simple as that they start stroking his ego and give him money. He is young and charismatic enough that they’ve probably started blowing smoke up his ass about a potential presidential run.

Bernie was always a Zionist, just that it is easier to sidestep when it is at the normal status quo of apartheid, regular bombing raids and land being stolen.

Depends on the context of what I’m thinking about. I think that is the case for anyone that is truly fluent in more than one language.

I’m pretty close with my mum but have had a tendency to not tell her about struggles I have, not because of anything she has done but rather because of shame and not wanting to make her sad. She would listen and is very non-judgemental but I’d rather shoulder it on my own. The only caveat to that is that she is proper anti-drugs.

Dad was a dickhead and he can RIP in piss.

I don’t really consider rushing someone to a hospital as an especially high bar for genuinely good person. Seems more like the bar for not being a genuinely bad person. Not sure if that means that I’m positive or negative about humanity.

Stainless steel or cast iron in general. Let go of your nonsticks.

As the old guard gets replaced, the hope is that we bring in more and more liberal people over time.

We just today had the poster child of the “new guard” of the democrats coming out and talking about how great it is that nothing happens now. While we are one year into a genocide. While we are further building the wall and enforcing all the border policies that she went down to the border to have a photo op crying at.

Do you think AOC will save anyone? She’ll just go back to brunch while the world burns.

Voting third party is ineffective no matter how you look at it, at least not in the Presidential election.

If you can’t see further than a single election cycle ahead I guess. Consistently voting for the “lesser evil” will only make the “lesser evil” more evil. If there is a voting bloc that is strong enough to apparently scupper the democrats maybe they should try to appeal to them in any way rather than court the people voting for the “greater evil”?

Donde esta la discoteca? If you had a ‘cool’ teacher.

I used to be bored at work as I had too much downtime, so I decided to just accept more duties. Was nice to be able to solve problems learn new things and it made the time go faster. But you just keep getting more and more work and responsibilities heaped on you for doing a good job, and absolutely nobody notices it until you start falling apart. Then all of a sudden people you’ve never heard of are ‘concerned’ about you. At this point I am burnt out and do even less work than when I was bored, but the difference is that it also drains me.

The lesson is to never try to work at or around full capacity. Don’t fall into the trap of being bored and deciding to take on more work.

People who are unable to smoothly merge or use slip roads without slowing down 500m before even starting to turn off should have their licenses revoked unless they take a driving course to correct their behaviour.

People who zigzag should just be put in a gulag however. Scum of the earth.

Yes, that too. He also was one of the most prominent slave traders of the time and put down the Spartacus revolt.

Trying to find the silver lining here.

Crassus invented the fire brigade and his head became a stage prop for the Parthians.

Farm labourers. There is a reason that such a large percentage of them are trafficked.

while they polish their own ego by going to work instead of watching and caring for their own kids

Retirement savings connected to the stockk market. Gives a perverse incentive for everyone to continue the wealth transfer upwards, since the stock market is largely based on the vibes of a handful of very rich people.
