The term "scab" for a strikebreaker originated in the 1700s, likening crossing a picket line to a healing wound's scab being picked off. #LaborDay
I can be wrong 2/3 of the time in less than 15 seconds.
Instant mashed potatoes already exist and are way easier to make...
Things are going great in America.
The Bearhorse from Rimworld sounds like my dog.
Neoliberals hate whatever they deem “the left” is far more than actually self identifying fascists example 2 million
I would also suggest that psychologically they also need to attack anyone further left of themselves in order to validate their own decision to not be more leftist. Any further than where they are has to be unreasonable or else they, as reasonable people, would adopt it.
Classic European strategy: build a beautiful walled garden for yourself and export the ugly bits to the other side of the wall.
Kid got a hat from the tennis player afterwards when the player found out. I'm sure that kid has made out quite well from this terrible incident, but that doesn't excuse that CEO's behavior.
digitallibrary.un.org/record/234074 This letter, from before either Putin or Xi were in power (This was Yeltsin and Jiang), is the real reason why the US hates China and Russia (and Iran, and now apparently India). The West doesn't want a multipolar world. They want a hegemony, not equality.
Torment Nexus here i come!
Sexcession no. Sex session yes!

So, If I understand this thread, we should make a permanent tornado of gaseous mercury to generate power for our AI.
“The recent incident at the tennis match has caused a disproportionate online uproar. It’s all about the famous hat, of course. Yes, I took it. Yes, I did it quickly. But as I’ve always said, life is first come, first served. In the end, chin up, hats off, less venom, more sportsmanship." -the CEO

Argentina had schemes to "disappear" hundreds of British nationals the day before the Falklands War erupted, according to startling CIA files that have come to light.
I have never used several of these services, but I confess, I didn't realize the list of jobs where people get tips is so large. I didn't know people tipped the landmower. Holiday money, yes. But tip? I thought the relationship with one's landscaper was long term and repeat. You tip each time?
But where's the ROI for invesors?!?!
The Democratic Party kinda reminds me of drug addicts. They tried a drug once, shifting right to appeal to Republican voters, and they got addicted to it and now that's their solution to any problem. Headache? Shift right. Cancer? Shift right. Stubbed toe? Shift right. Always chasing that first high
His grandfather was a banking magnate. Just in case the class he had solidarity for was unclear.
The US Air Force was founded by the guy who piloted a bomber to attack miners at Blair Mountain. It was, in fact, exactly that episode that convinced him, and let him to convince others, of the superiority and necessity of air power. He was also the son of a senator. Billy Mitchell was his name.
the logic doesn't even make sense. There is no reason, that Roma and Romania should be tied together. Roma come from the Doma caste in India. One should be able to pretty easily figure out how Doma coincidentally becomes Roma. Entirely unrelated homophones. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doma_(c...
So like...I know liberals agree with this tactic, but like...y'all realize that these two countries alone make up 1/3 of the world's population, right? Do you not think it weird that so much of the world, basically all of it non-Western, is "the bad guy" for not following Western policies?
Counterpoint: no they should not.
This was the plot to Bulworth.
The hostility from the Elders towards the Newbies has been about shutting down intolerance towards trans people. Elders, many of whom are trans, are determined not to let what happened to X happen here. If you want to be a transphobe, stay there. Liberal or not. Don't bring that phobia here.
Is it main character syndrome?
Cis white men have this take three times a week. Anyway fascism is here and y'all are talking about the growth potential of a social media site
CEOs are among the worst people on the planet.
Watching the Kneecap movie for Labor Day.
Luck has nothing to do with it. Charts are required to on all planes above a certain size so that exactly this sort of conclusion can occur if an episode almost exactly like this happens.
The new Superman movie had a whole bit about this!
Ran Into a newfie puppy. That puppy helmet head makes it so obvious that they were bred from pyrs.
Hopkins out here tossing psychedelics at everything like Dr. Feel-good. Saw a sign for "do you have depression and lower back pain?" And ok, depression makes sense. But back pain? they're just tossing mushrooms at anything they can.
I got the kind of charisma with dogs that enables me to pet dogs that have do not pet signs on them because they voluntarily approach me for hellos.
Oh...league of extraordinary gentleman.
Lxg?
Is today your bday?
Exactly what he has wanted to do since he had Rabin assassinated.
Happy Labor Day!
Given their legacy of military dictatorship I'd say it's complicated but there is certainly support.

He does talk about that in the interview. The double standard.
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
But who is their Lady Gaga?
She is funded by Omidyar Network, which has also donated to 1630 fund which Chorus is a subsidiary of.
Okay, but what about the "I'm not a robot but I really relate to robots" crowd?

I apologize it was unclear given the way you lump China and Russia.
I love how my neighborhood just has live music on the weekends.
Their own Category...of sandwich
"No, that's alright, I'll wait for someone else."
Amen. I had my doubts about her when she started out. But she's been legit for years.
Right?!
Also, live your life in such a way that when you sent to the hospital, more people show up than your business partner and your doctor. Pretty sure he has kids. One of whom is ruining the World Cup. Why aren't they overseeing his care?
What does his helping out a woman by the side of the road have to do with his accident? That seems like an irrelevant (and probably fake) detail.
What a time for stickers in DC! #walkswithmaisey #FreeDC @joeheim.bsky.social
USAmericans would rather demonize socialism than educate each other on anti-fascism and combat fascism
I was born in the 80's. I had a neighborhood friend with two moms. One of them was cis, one of them was trans. His trans mom transitioned after they had several kids. I don't know what to say other than "this is empirically untrue."
The reason the US doesn't develop solar power is the same reason it lags behind in cell technology: it had legacy industry interests preventing innovation among potential competitors. Wired lines disincentivized the need for cell phones among Americans while in Asia they just skipped that for cells.
Without in any way trying to defend him, I think Elon's mouth is more controlled by whatever drug he is on at the moment and that sort of bullshit alpha male nonsense is a very common side effect of the testosterone therapy he is clearly undergoing.
That's a false binary. India has very clearly, from its independence, espoused a clear and articulate position regarding international affairs. That's why "the third world" exists. They are very much interested in autonomy. Its a multipolar arena now, condensing it to Cold War "us vs. them" is wrong
EU leadership using the US to get away with doing something it clearly wanted to do anyway under the guise of "we had to, it was forced on us" to their constituents. Good polluter, bad polluter, but both still wanting to pollute without being blamed for it.
Honestly, I started following you cuz that dude took a screenshot and posted about it and you were absolutely cooking when you said. Dude is just unhinged.
This is also how I know that International Relations Realists aren't Realist at all, they're just pathological. Just because you have been a victim does not mean you need to become a victimizer. That is true at both the personal level and the international level. Acting shitty is always a choice.
Quick question: was the IRA a terrorist group?
Lmao, okay, so you're not Jewish. You're just weaponizing my people to advance your own agenda. Gotcha. Great allyship.
I hope to God you are Jewish, because if not, that's quite an offensive question to ask someone named Goldstein.
You think being forced into an open air prison for 15 years is a ceasefire? Or an agreement worth keeping?
I'm sorry, why do you need to sue settlers to get them to stop?
www.dci-palestine.org/2021_is_dead... Oh hey, weird. Check out this article from 2021.
You'll never believe what article came out in 2022: www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/1...
Lmao. How quickly you've changed your reason to be angry at me. Not even so much as an apology.
You may want to check the date on this article. Because if there was a ceasefire on 10/7/23, then I question what you think a ceasefire means.
All the "influencers" getting paid to suppress speech about the Holocaust in Gaza and the corruption of the US are all advertising the same thing: protect the status quo of racial capitalism from the left. Defend the systems from the left. Uphold the systems. The Dem Party exists to squash the left.
Seconded. I appreciate a politician able to admit a mistake. Any mistake. Literally a single mistake at all. Even one as silly as "I tied my tie wrong by accident." They seem incapable of that and that's problematic, imo.
And the problem with you is that you make horrible assumptions that are both offensive and wrong. I voted for Harris. I was even photographed by national press doing it because I brought my very cute dog with me. And yet, here you are getting mad at a situation you invented.
I invite you to present any evidence that this was about them being Jewish rather than Israeli staffers. The dude yelled "Free Palestine" not "Fuck Jews".
I think we've just demonstrated that your understanding of the event is not sufficient to make those, or any other, sort of interpretation. If you don't have basic facts right, your conclusion is faulty from the beginning.
I am legitimately glad though. The last thing the world needs is a fascist alliance between the us and India.
The problem is not whether or not Harris could have some much as would have. And after the way Biden's team openly and obviously played dumb to let it happen, there was little reason to think Harris would have done anything differently. Especially since she refused to criticize the approach.
I will keep saying it.. ~white people are waking up to the terrifying reality of how relentlessly cruel white people are ~we have no idea how to survive in a world where the color of our skin will no longer save us ~we're blaming the party we voted out of power for not saving us
Think about all those people in the West, in liberal political and media circles, on this hellsite, who insisted repeatedly for months that Hamas was the obstacle to a ceasefire deal. Have nothing but contempt for them and never listen to them ever again.
Trump is the sort of capitalist who doesn't have a problem with slavery if it helps the bottom line.
The proper way to interpret these sorts of articles is "this newspaper believes [x] and is using an appeal to authority to convince you to believe it too." That is why those articles get picked by the editor to be written about or read.
Yeah, my parents are doctors and sent me to a pox party because the vaccine didn't exist yet and its better to get chicken pox as a kid than shingles as an adult.
You don't give a kid the 2nd dose of varicella vaccine until 4.
Thank you!

Um...I think I'm too cisdumb to understand these references. But it was French bread so it was at least a little gay, just by virtue of Frenchness, right?
Wait, is Rocketman the most gay song possible? I remember it being the theme song to a movie.
