Sean 'Diddy' Combs found not guilty on most serious counts, guilty on two others
  • It was also after the aquital of a person who straight up murdered a black teenager (which caused riots) and a cop who was factually racist. Also the DA tried to move the trial to wildly conservative venue so they could guarantee a conviction.

    Ppl like to agrue he got off because he was rich but the political/racial climate probably had a lot more to do with it

  • Netherlands: 18 year old Ryan al-Najjar was tied up, beaten, and drowned by her father and brothers for being too Westernized
  • Someone paid no attention to religious fundamentalist in history. Religion is just a form of division. No different than race, age, class, or sexuality. If there's a religion (or any other kind of group) they've killed ppl for not conforming

  • The "We Tried" Award
  • Meanwhile it seems like the American consciousness think of the Vietnam War as almost a national scar akin to 9/11.

    That's because it was the first widely televised war we had ever seen plus it was right in the middle of the Civil rights movement. So a war we lost during a major era of change that influenced American attitudes about warfare and civil rights. It left internal scars

    Really shows you the differences in mindset. Americans hold on to the past like it's a lifeline while most other places we kinda just deal with shit and move on.

    Well the majority of ppl who remember the Vietnam War are still alive. Considering veterans from Vietnam have health complications from agent orange no one is forgetting anytime soon. Western Europe hasn't had a major war in almost 80 years

    If ww2 had happened to America the same way it happened to Europe, they would have made it they whole identity and pissed and moaned about it still. We would never hear the end of it.

    This is just a long winded attempt to complain about Americans. Europeans are exactly the same as Americans. You both carry a smug sense of superiority. The only difference is Americans are louder about it. Just look at attitudes about the war in Ukraine or whenever there's a terrorist attack in western Europe compared to anywhere in the global south. Both act like they're the center of the world. Plus its kinda hard to gloat about 2 World Wars that you started in the first place. Only reason it was a world war in the first place is because Europeans felt so superior that they went around colonizing everyone because they were better than everyone else and forced them to get involved

  • A 2020 law banning plastic bags in Vermont has nearly eliminated their use in the state
  • Leave more bags then you'll possibly need in there or leave a book bag in your car. Eventually you won't be able to go back. If you have one do most of your shopping at an Aldi or Lidi. Plastic grocery bags take up more space than you realize until you go without.
