Barabas [he/him]

Wasn’t solely because of who his dad was. If his dad was just a regular rich dude with political connections, maybe. If he was one of the thousands of black men currently incarcerated under the law that Biden championed himself, hell no.

Really, he should have just taught his son to do powdered cocaine instead, since that is a rich person drug and thus has a much lower penalty.

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”?

Reads like a communist shitpost. I can understand the urge to scream into the void but the UN probably isn’t the best forum.

Macron aiming to have RN in government to prove that they are bad in order to boost his chances for presidential reelection. Ended up having to cooperate in supporting a tiny right wing party along with RN meaning that his party will be equally blamed. RN can just grandstand in parliament and have the power to block legislation while being politically rehabilitated.

Masterful gambit Mr Macron.

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

The thing they’re against is communal handwashing apparently.

That would be a ‘universal’ toilet and thus allowed.

According to ministers, 81% agreed with the intention for separate single-sex toilet facilities in a consultation on the proposals, while 82% also agreed with the intention to provide “universal” toilets – a self-contained, and a fully enclosed toilet room with a wash hand basin for individual use – where space allows.

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.

One of my pastimes as an incredibly lonely teenager was just observing jackdaws, crows and magpies. You can tell that they actually think before acting which is fascinating.

Also jackdaws have very pretty eyes.

Snow and lack of sun in areas where it regularly drops below zero would be an issue with that.

Another point is that homes in the UK are so badly insulated you on average have to use three times as much energy to keep it warm than in Germany for example. And the people who are most unlikely to afford heating will live in the worst insulated houses.

This is shaping up to be their Vietnam. The earlier conflicts were short and diplomatic pressure from their benefactors managed to bring peace fairly quick, but both the Houthi and Hamas seem unlikely to cave under such pressure.

Now they are trying to actually fight an entrenched enemy instead of just lobbing bombs at them from afar.

This is a thread of big lies that people believe.

Colonialism was a civilising mission.

Neoliberalism has also broken people’s brains to believe that nothing better is possible and anyone promising something other than managed decline or being vindictive against an outgroup is a charlatan.

We need some economist to come out and say everyone is wrong and things are great actually, the plenary haven’t even considered the line going up.

The true signifier of a good economy is increased exploitation after all.

How does this favour fast fashion?

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.

Nah, it was these three children and their mum that denied it.
