  • Pretty sure people admire him because he shares their values, which is not at all what you're describing. Which value that he listed above do you have a problem with and why?

  • Ye Takes Back Apology and Calls Himself a Nazi in Social Media Rant
  • Watching Jeen-Yuhs, as someone who works in mental health, I saw a story play out I've seen time and again. Dude had a serious break with reality after his mother passed away. I don't know enough to tell whether it's schizophrenia, bipolar I, or schizoaffective disorder, but he's almost certainly dealing with one of these and not receiving any treatment for it because his money and status protects him from the consequences that would land the rest of us in a psych hospital involuntarily.

  • Why Has the BBC Been Receiving Money From CIA-Front USAID? One Journalist Wants Answers.
  • Given Ukraine’s near-total economic destruction since its proxy war against Russia erupted in February 2022...

    The phrasing of this sentence is just one example of pro-Russia propaganda in an article filled with it. Of course the US spins messages and creates its own propaganda, every country does this. It's important to be able to see through spin to evaluate facts, but blindly eating up the propaganda of other nations just because you don't like the story the US is telling is not a great take.

    There doesn't seem to be anything secretive or untoward happening here. What is he even alleging?

  • Uncommitted movement leader reminds senile Democrats why they lost.
  • I don't understand all the focus on John Fetterman as somehow being representative of the Democratic party writ large. It's blatant that his personality has changed since his stroke, and I'd wager he's going to lose his next primary if he even tries to run again

  • You're not alone
  • The YPG is a Kurdish militia in Syria who are libertarian socialists. They fought ISIS and Assad, and Erdogan hates them and has attacked them along the Turkish border. The US had given them consistent support until Trump abandoned them in his first term.

    I don't know who the bereted man is though.

  • Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week?
  • You've gotten a lot of advice on here, but I don't think I've seen this...are you able to "suck in your gut" if you try hard and it improves how it looks? If so, it might not even be visceral fat, but just poor muscle tone in your abdominal area. If this is it, then core strength exercises are the way to go. Practice sucking in that gut more and more until it becomes the default, and strengthen your abs and obliques.

  • Something somerule "StOp dIvIDinG ThE leFt"
  • You clearly haven't read anything I said if you think that, given I just talked about how awful they are. I prefer to base my opinions on reality rather than making shit up, though. If they threatened someone, you'd have a simple question to answer. Instead you went for my character, so what does that say about you?

  • A look at the Middle Train Corridor’s strategic rise and transformative trajectory
  • Costs compared to what? Loading up a ship on the Pacific coast and sending it around Indonesia and through the Suez canal and then unloading it in Europe and putting the cargo on trains there to the final destination?

  • Always a dilemma
  • When I cook onions, I typically start with that and continually add things to it, including the wilted mushrooms. Cooking mushrooms in a dry pan doesn't really leave any water, it all boils off and I wipe out any remainder prior to the onions

  • A look at the Middle Train Corridor’s strategic rise and transformative trajectory
  • This already exists and has demonstrated success, and does not pass through Russia or Iran. The Upper Corridor passed through Russia, but since the Ukraine invasion, much of it's trade has moved to the Middle Corridor. Greece and Turkey don't particularly like each other, but still have good trade relations and movement across their borders

  • Trump Officials Try to Walk Back Gaza Takeover Plan: Live Updates
  • Y'all recognize headlines like this are coming at a rapid pace on purpose, right? Trump says or does an outrageous thing that dominates the news cycle for a few days, he walks it back, and the media pays little attention to the actual things his administration is doing that are not being walked back. "Flood the zone" is a purposeful strategy.

    'It's just going to ruin our life' | Large mixed-use apartments could be new reality for North Austin neighborhood

    I know this will sound callous of me, but fuck this NIMBY bullshit, and also KVUE for promoting it. This apartment complex is going up a 60 second walk from the Highland Station on the Red Line. Throw a rock and you can hit both Airport Blvd and 2222. This is the geographical center of Austin near some of the busiest intersections in the city. It's not reasonable to expect the vacant lot behind your house will stay that way.

    Hole in the Wall dodges closure, secures 20-year lease with $1.6M from city - Austin Monitor

    The Hole In The Wall music venue has secured a 20-year lease and will remain open to celebrate its 50th anniversary next summer, thanks largely to $1.6 million in assistance from the city’s Iconic Venue Fund.

    Will Tanner, who purchased the club located on the stretch of Guadalupe Street known as The Drag in 2008, signed the new lease agreement – an initial 10-year lease with two five-year extensions – with The Weitzman Group realty firm on Monday. The signing followed 10 months of negotiation and work with staff from the city and the Austin Economic Development Corporation to become the first recipient of city funds allocated to preserve culturally significant music venues.
