Completely agree.

Balanced budget, working away the debt, making sure you don't run a deficit? All totally sensible. But you do that by making the government more efficient and raising tax revenue, not slashing funding willy nilly

Same :(

Some of the ideals they claimed to follow weren't necessarily bad. Fiscal conservatism isn't inherently a bad thing, the problem is that Republicans were highly selective about when they cared about it.

Oh fucking hell, Missouri?

Maybe I should vote in the Republican primaries, fuck this woman and keep her far away from office.

I'm all for the US shooting down offensive missiles. I do wish though we'd use it as a much stronger negotiation tool. Tell Netanyahu that if they're the ones who start it, we won't help at all.

This is a pretty big deal in Indian culture. Respecting and listening to elders is actually a cornerstone, I'd say. At social events with potlucks, the young kids are always the first to eat, then the elders, then everyone else. It's so ingrained in me that when I saw a young Indian kid mocking their grandmother I was utterly shocked.

However, this isn't to say the children in this article are necessarily wrong to abandon their parents. It's just some perspective on how big of a deal this is.

Although at the same time, I've noticed that second generation Indians (born to the parents who immigrated, like me) are taught a more traditional and conservative culture. The first generation Indians I've met seem a lot less traditional -- hence why they're probably more okay with abandoning their elders. It's interesting sometimes how immigrants preserve their home culture and traditions better than their own home does. Granted, this isn't the case with everything. There's a lot of things where Indian kids who grew up in the West are far more liberal on.

That said, there are other regional countries which are also calling for data and are skeptical of the legitimacy.

Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia are also asking for election data here, but you neglect to consider that.

What about Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia?

Would it help if I said I knew someone from Venezuela who is adamant that Maduro cheated? My old coworker heavily dislikes Maduro

He should've resigned before anything else. His direction is what put the company into a shaky financial situation.

Man as a long term destiny player, this has just been heartbreaking. The latest expansion was absolutely amazing and you could tell the devs really put their heart and soul into it. And now a lot of them are gone. The narrative leads, longtime leaders of the franchise, all canned.

Rumors about what's upcoming suggest a major downsizing in the content that's going to come out for players too. So I'm not even sure how they plan on continuing to make money.

Fuck Parsons.

We had layoffs earlier this year, and I don't know if they were absolutely necessary, but the financial situation was admittedly not good at all.

Since then we've lost some of the best and most talented coworkers I had, and morale is only just now recovering it feels like.

I'm a bit surprised that Iran would plan an open retaliation for this, since they don't typically officially acknowledge their proxies.

This does risk a full on war between Israel and Iran however if Iran is going to give up all pretenses.

A lot of the times when you don't know what to say, it's not because you can't find the right words, but the right words simply don't exist. There's nothing that captures your sorrow for the person.

Funny enough, the right thing to say is that you don't know what to say. And just offer yourself to be there for them.

Yeah I really couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic on that or not lol

Yeah screw this. Democrats should throw their weight behind this guy. They're our best opportunity of getting this Senate seat away from Republicans. Dems shouldn't be running any candidate against them.

I could actually see him doing this, and it would just make things even worse for him lmao

Yeah I have no disagreement with what you're saying. This was also true with Russia, where Navalny was hardly left wing. I think it's moreso the idea of a democratic system versus dictatorship.

Hmm?
