Ok, so I’ll be straight with you. I want to respond to your whole comment, but I need to stop engaging in these discussions. So know that I read all that you wrote, and I want to respond to everything. But I need to limit myself.

Do you mean rioting? […]

I don’t know. I don’t think so. But something has to be done, and it can’t wait until the next election. I’m not advocating violence. Part of me wants to say “eat the rich” and “if enough people shows up with torches and pitchforks, what is Musk going to do?”

But violence isn’t solving anything, and besides it would play right into the MAGA dream of a civil war. What has to happen is to copy what MAGA has been doing. Go after local positions. Put prodemocracy persons on school boards, town councils, election boards. Vote in prodemocracy officials like prosecutors, judges, and sheriffs (if any of them aren’t just appointed by now)

The guy even won the popular vote, possibly fair and square. Are you under the impression that there is some action we can take at this point to improve the situation?

He only won the popular vote because of the inactions of good people. Prodemocracy movements need an inspiring leader and a cause. Apparently “save the US, save the world” wasn’t inspiring enough. IDK what would be, but getting the non fascist Americans motivated and organized is imperative.

Refusing to admit the part the Dems play is part of the problem as well. We can’t keep doing the same thing we’ve always done, and if we don’t learn from this we are truly doomed.

I agree, and the part of that paragraph you didn’t quote says pretty much the same thing.

Maybe contact an immigration specialist in your country of interest?

And even then, it’s not a circle.

The alternative is carrying around a warm poop bag in your coat pocket until you get home.

What kind of psycho puts the bag in their pocket? /s

With all the pointy bits and pieces in my coat pockets I’d end up with bits, pieces, and coat pocket covered in dog shit.

What’s so weird to me is how Americans can just be “oh bother! The not fascist prodemocracy party lost. If only I would care enough to do something, oh well better luck next time.” why aren’t you guys screaming?

Trump’s relationship with Putin is going to change the current world order. You know the world? It’s where the US is?

If that’s too abstract, then look at the remaining SCOTUS judges. With Trump in the Whitehouse then Alito and Thomas can step down and be replaced with more Gen Xers ensuring right-wing dominance for the next 30 years. Repealing Roe v Wade is going to be dwarfed by the what’s coming now.

Harris wasn’t ideal. Harris was as interesting as a corporate newsletter. But at least she wasn’t a threat to democracies worldwide. Harris would have meant less injustice, but not “no injustice”. But because people couldn’t get no injustice, they stayed home and got 20x the injustice they would have gotten otherwise. And now they’re justifying that? GTFO!

The US political system is broken. But it’s broken deliberately by one side to suit them, while the other side is too busy blaming each other for their own common failures to do anything.

Thanks for enabling Trump you ginormous ass hat. I will remember your entitled self righteous indignation when Ukraine falls. When Trump talks about eradicating the Palestinian people. And when Russia starts taking small bites of NATO countries, while Trump refuses to respond to article 5 requests.

Sending a message to the democratic party was something you could have done before the election. By getting involved. But noooo let’s send the message by handing the US to a fascist and convicted felon, that’s far easier.

Edit: I just saw the .ml now. Good one tankie, you got me all riled up. I believe you can now collect a kopek from your boss for your trouble.

Trump understands tariffs, as far as they sound fancy and like a threat to foreigners, his followers understands it even less. Using fancy words make you sound authoritative. Trump’s followers like authoritarian leaders.

Both candidates supports Israel’s genocide. If people didn’t bother to vote because of that then fuck them all. I hope they enjoy Trump.

Why? More than 50% of US voters just elected a convicted felon and rapist. Using the politicians’ utterances against them is not going to do anything.

Did she win? No? Then it doesn’t fucking matter!

What? Should she be getting a participation trophy? Sorry, I can’t hear you over how Ukraine is being annexed by Russia.

WTF?!? I’ve always thought of Dr Pepper as the looking like the Pringles man cos playing as an old timey doctor. You know: mustache, bowtie, head mirror and lab coat. Dr Pepper is married to another doctor though, Dr Pepper Cherry. All the other men in the neighborhood wants her. The Peppers have one child, who’s going through a rough patch, dealing with a negative self image, never being as good as his parents, and anorexia. Child’s name is Dr Pepper Light.

Dr. Pepper has a brother too. The brother got into some stupid shit and didn’t finish high school. Now he lives in a trailer park, trying to prove to everyone he’s just as good as his brother, but everyone thinks of him as a redneck drunk on account of his last name. He goes by the name Root Beer. His wife’s name is Ginger, she’s a hottie from Jamaica.

So how dare you question my world view? Hey would you look at that my panic attack is gone. Now I just have a hard on, a can of cherry pepper and a wish to mix it with some ginger beer and rum. I call the drink a “drunk ffm”.

I urge everyone to look up the book Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez. The cultural patriarchy is crazy.

Nobody questions how archeology is influenced by contemporary culture. When archeologists find a grave and goes “the body is buried with weapons and a shield, therefore it must be a warrior and thus a man. And they still fucking note how it’s weird that this definitely-a-man is smaller than other men from this culture, and his hips are wide, almost like a woman… But he’s a dude, he’s got weapons after all!” smh

I just watched a 25min video on half dog/half bag animals, wtf?

He signs off inviting subscription for more of the same, but has just one more videos… And it’s cheetahs making cheetah sounds for a minute. Come on!

So all we have is an unsourced entry in a list based article in a unnamed magazine?

I hope I’m not alone in having an issue with the statement then.

I’m sorry that I’m going to sound like a snob. If people claim to have health related information, I take it seriously. When I said I couldn’t find an article describing the correlation, what I meant was that I couldn’t find an article on pubmed. I went looking for abstracts for articles in peer reviewed medical journals, not pop culture entertainment in “octogenarians’ quarterly”.

Except the soldiers probably don’t realize that. On the other hand, if they don’t fight fiercely, or defect even, then their families are held responsible.

North Korea is still an independent sovereign entity, and the last thing they want is to let their troops be used by Russians in a shitty way.

… without proper compensation. I’m just guessing here, when I suspect that Russia has more USD in stock than the DPRK. But what I’m pretty certain of is, that the Kims would let you do anything to their people for the right amount of cash.

IDK what agreement Putin and Kim has, but if it in any way considers DPRK soldiers as something resembling living creatures, for other than pumping up compensation, then I’d be very surprised.

OK, sure, the ones that survive will have combat experience. But that’s not why they’re there.

Source? I can’t find an article linking PTFE with a metabolic change.
