India is low-key shocking to me. Idk, did they ask women?

This sounds like fucking hell, I can't see a way this works without having to work 7 days a week or being hobo-sexual

Listen I love dogs, but this is some peasant type shit. 2 suit cases being everything you own? Yeah, I'd like to practice nonattachment to this level, but I doubt you're finding nirvana doing this. There's no way this is done outside a major metro.

Edit: ok after having read the article this whole thing is fucking nonsense. Financial coach? This is a fuckin grift. They definitely have a fall back either through family or something. This article reads both as self-fellating and rage bait depending on how you lean or align yourself. it hits so many major buzzwords. Im not sure why it's even a story besides the fact it will definitely be controversial

Not gonna lie, it was a one off joke in Rick and Morty I saw at the end of highschool that got me to realize that, "oh this is a thing thing. Like not that one should be taking cartoons as political fact but that for the past few decades shining light on the legitimacy of Israel almost automatically turns you into a raving drunk lunatic".

It's not about Jews, or a homeland. It's a concerted effort by a group of people for over a century to underhandedly amass power and exert influence while doing great harm and lying. These aren't middle eastern people searching for their ancestral lands. They are power hungry Europeans who changed their names to larp as semetic people, to displace and replace the people who've lived there for centuries.

How a group of pilfering bandits made themselves synonymous with a religion AND ethnicity is fucking fascinating. Saying any critique of ZIONISTS and their actions brings down the wrath of YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT. I can't even fathom the dirt they have on people or why we even fucking care anymore.

Y'all really ain't ready for the slavery in the US agriculture sector conversation. It's really bad, and this ICE shit is just acceleration

Children.

Fully and wholely children. Politics matter; shutting your ears and eyes to reality is not a viable strategy long term, honestly not even in the short term.

Children arent expected to participate in civic matters, at least to the degree adults do. You shirk those duties you are a child in practice. I'm not saying you need a stance on every thing that happens in a society but saying I don't do politics (no the same as saying I'm not informed enough to have a strong opinion) is not becoming of a responsible adult in a functional society. Unfortunately we have a lot of people who say they're not into politics as a cover for their beliefs in bad policy.

Oh wow, who would have thought cutting all those government services was a fucking terrible idea.

It was so weird how right wing media was praising this dude for his economic policy and trump dick riding. $40billion injection and Argentina is still fucked. Yet these idiots can't see what's clearly evident if you have even a basic understanding of policy and economics.

Anything less than death is far too little for these sick fucks.

Swift and quickly, this needs to end and be left in the past.

I'm fine with an easy out.

I don't need them to think about their actions. I don't need them to stew and marinate in their guilt. I certainly don't need them to have avenues to still exert influence.

They need to die, anything else is a distraction.

Provokation and emotional response.

In my mind that would be the main reason why. An sane population wouldn't stand for their children to get killed and you do nothing. It forces your opponent into action and you can exploit that action.

With some infrastructure and certain targets a response can be delayed. Mass civilian/children casualties mean an immediate retaliation is in order or your population revolts to make one happen.

You see it in Palestine; people with nothing to lose become beligerant. You kill their kids they attack viciously. Much easier to attempt to justify fighting a "vicious rabbid opponent" than a defense less peaceful one. However, if they go the opposite end and attempt peace and calm, they are easy to mow down

Not a bad play.

This shit has long gotten out of control. We need a running list. The Zionist - pedophile protector list is less of a Venn Diagram and more concentric circles.

Why's that? I used it for torrents a few weeks ago and at least speeds were fine. Definitely slower but not terrible.

Does it leak data or something?

Honestly I started hooking up with a girl who worked in the same building as me for a few months after I broke up with my ex at the time. She was hot and clearly interested in me so we started flirting and it didn't take much time to escalate. We were both in our early 20s and she was a year younger than me. She said she was divorced, which was a red flag by itself at our age but I ignored it and gave her the benefit of the doubt...

So anyway that was a lie that turned into," oh we're actually just separated", then "well, we still live together...."

Again I was a mess myself and she was literally one of the most beautiful women I've ever met. We continued to hook up under the assumption that all parties consented and we're aware of what was going on which was fine but in hindsight was still dumb. She was constantly lying, little things and big things. I never really knew the truth and she always had weird justifications which I didn't really push her to explain, I just filed them away as 'evidence' for lack of a better term. We fuck for hours at my place then she'd go home looking disheveled and smelling like sex only to complain that her husband was in a bad mood. That shit was just disrespectful and I had no ntention of rubbing it in the other dudes face like that.

It got to a point where I was like, damn do I have to worry about this dude coming after me at some point? He was in the army and they got together at 18. I don't know how much he knew about me but with the tension between them, our relationship was quickly becoming a liability. He had firearms, I didn't. She also only had male friends, many of whom were clearly in love with her and pining for her affection, so more men who were against me.

We were on again off again for a while. One of the last times we hooked up we went to her house and as I took my shoes off I saw size 13 Nike SB Dunks, I didn't even mention them but it was clear that I wasn't the only dude she had coming around. And it sure as hell wasn't a relative. At that point I was mentally checked out and done with the drama. Realized I was gonna get caught up in bullshit if I kept fucking around with her so I told her straight up I'm done because I can't trust a word she's saying.

I liked her a lot but we both had our issues, her problems were definitely more substantial tho, not to absolve myself or my actions. I wasn't into it in the end; the infidelity and lying became far too much on top of the other mental/financial instability.

Apparently he was constantly cheating on her but IDK, so much of the story was iffy. For now on my rule is I'm open to dating a divorcee but only after the divorce has been finalized for over a year. Im not going through that shit again

The Pepe-ification of US political discourse.

1. Their buddies own the prisons
2. Every day spent in prison cost money tax payer dollars fund
3. Them breathing is a waste of oxygen

The user interaction metrics they've added have been interesting tho. Millions of south and SE Asians are flocking to reddit.

It's been wild to watch how the site has grown over the past 15 years for me. Back durning trump's first term I deleted my account and alts due to paranoia. I'm starting to think I should do the same for newer accounts or abandon the site entirely; hense my presence here.

I heard murmurs about Lemmy when the API shit was going down a few years ago but it was so small back then the switch didn't really make sense for me. Now that the paranoia is back I don't feel as comfortable/safe commenting on reddit anymore

I'm kicking myself so hard right now. I went in and upgraded my PC when word of tarrifs were coming back in 2024 but decided to chill on ram because the prices were still low and I felt I had enough. I have 16gb of DDR5 and my rig feels like it's chugging with newer software.

I should've bit the bullet and future proofed with a 64gb set up. My ass decided to buy a house instead 😮‍💨

Funny how the thumbnail image looks just like how ICE agents in America are dressed. Guess they were inspired by their OGs.

Similar things were done in open secret in the American south from up until the 50s-60s.

Black people would be pulled over and arrested on bullshit charges, beaten, killed, and suspiciously have organs removed all while in police custody.

Like objectively, as an American, America has(more like had) great PR but has been a horribly violent imperialist nation for ages. The horrors they've exported have destabilized several nations for baseless power grabs and war profiteering.

I'm not saying Americans as a whole but the US government and the forces that actually drive it. Money and power has corrupted this nation and it is evil at its core. The tenuous peace that has existed for the past few decades is propped up but fraud and military excess. It's not good for this planet as a whole. The genocidal history of America has been white washed and glossed over. What's they've don't to south America, the middle east, and south east Asia is unforgivable kind of shit man.

They aren't the good guys, they're the "victors" who have written history in their favor.

Ah so we just going full on minority report on a global level huh? It ain't looking good y'all
