It's a shame how shabbily reddit's board and u/spez (and his lackeys) have treated reddit's users and mods. They benefited enormously from free content and hours of unpaid moderation, yet they chose to throw it all away.

People freely choose to vote fascists to power, and then wonder why their country has turned into hell.

:(

right-wing political parties have ''be sub-human trash' written in their manifesto and yet people vote them into power.

From the article "Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, leader of the far-right Brothers of Italy party, made anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric a cornerstone of her campaign for office. She opposes allowing same-sex couples to adopt as well as marriage quality, calling civil union “good enough” for LGBTQ+ couples."

Indian here, so experienced with hot climate.

• Wear loose cotton clothes (long-sleeved if stepping out in the hot sun)
• Keep yourself hydrated.
• Avoid soft/ aerated drinks/ soda & coffee as they'll dehydrate you. Stick to cool water, ice chips, fresh lemonade made with water, fresh fruit juices, melons, spinach-cucumber-onion-tomato salads, yoghurt,
• Eat light.
• Stick to well-ventilated rooms with good air-circulation (fans help)
• Cold water showers to cool down
• Sweating is good. It'll cool you down. This is also why Indians eat spicy food and drink hot tea even in hottest summer. Get sweaty then take a quick cold-water rinse.
• If you have to step outside in the hot sun, umbrella, hats, caps etc are your friends.
• Wet towel on the back of the neck for a quick cool down.

ETA: When it gets so hot that we lose our appetite, then our go-to meal is to mix up cooled cooked rice with unsweetened yoghurt and a pinch of salt. its variously called yoghurt rice/ curd rice/ thayir saadam / dahi bhaath / dahi chaawal . This is an easy to make & easy to diges meal that is guaranteed to cool a person down.

thayir = dahi = curd = yoghurt
saada = bhaath = chaawal = cooked rice

Good luck.

Buckingham was hired by PAE. Amentum didn’t respond to questions from the AP. Leidos Senior Vice President Melissa Lee Dueñas said it conducts background checks on all its employees.

“Our stance on sexual harassment or assault couldn’t be more clear: we have zero tolerance for such behavior,” Dueñas said in an email. “Each case is thoroughly investigated.”

Translates to 1) We thoroughly investigate and hire sexual predators and 2) We say this b.s. to protect our jobs, actually we have zero tolerance for those who complain about sexual harassment.

The report made it clear that those in charge enable sexual predators.

Religio-Fascists led by a megalomaniac took over India in 2014. People ignored their fascism and voted for religion :(

WTF?! That's ecocide. It muct be punished.

"Why is my human slave not moving my stuff to different rooms according to my set schedule? Why do I, a god, have to do it myself? Bastet, take note of this great insubordination! "

The Modi govt has surpassed its own stupidity . They've officially labeled Canada an international terrorist sanctuary — “a safe haven for terrorists, for extremists, and for organized crime,” in the words of the Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson. I've just posted on this zine

You're forgetting the atrocities on India's Muslims, Christians, farmers, Dalits, and ,other oppressed castes.

This is the same country and the same PM who Biden dined with in WH 3-4 months back and who Macron honored & awarded Le Grand Croix de Legion de l'Honneur on Bastile day 3 months back.

Maybe now, the west will stop appeasing and coddling genocidal dictators?

Reminds me of the often-told story of the punk bar bartender and nazis

based on @iamragesparkle;s tweets

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.”

And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.”

And i was like, oh,ok and he continues.

"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.”

And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.

In a closing address to a Russia-Africa summit in St Petersburg, he also said Putin had shown readiness to negotiate with Ukraine, and that "the other side" now needed to be persuaded.

"The President of Russia demonstrated that he is ready help us in the field of grain supply," Assoumani said. "Yes, this is important, but it may not be quite enough. We need to achieve a ceasefire."

He is acting like Putin's patsy here. The President of Rusia has caused this problem with his illegal war on Ukraine. Why should Ukraine accept a frozen conflict with Russia or accept Russian occupation of even an inch of their land? Why is he not demanding Russia, the aggressor, stop its illegal war and withdraw from Ukraine? Or demand Russia stop bmbing Odessa's ports and allow resumption of grain supply?

Why is he blaming the victimss of Putin's imperialism?

Ninety percent are young specimens that arrive without fat reserves and with empty stomachs," she said, and stressed that all samples taken have tested negative for avian influenza.

They fucking starved to death :'(

They chose to go to Ukraine, to rape and torture and kill Ukrainians. When such monsters die, the only responsse is 'Good.'

pass on the message that "slavery was so beneficial that this time white people should be enslaved" and watch the whole thing die out.

skip first & second base, go directy to third base.

You fought the good fight as long as you could.

Of all the family values to export out of India, corruption and nepotism seem to be on top of Murthy family's list.

ps : Sunak's wife and Narayan Murthy's daughter had avoided paying taxes on her nearly $1-billion fortune. Infoys also has a history of tax issues in a number of jurisdictions, including UK.

Of course, the Pope and Vatican praise imperialism, it probably reminds them of their glory days of the Inquisition They also supported Nazism. They continue to enable and support pedophilia.

Being praised by the Pope & the Vatican is a certificate of being morally corrupt & wrong.

The Hindu supremacist Modi govt that has unleashed a wave of domestic terrorism against Indian muslims, indian Christians, Sikhs, our Dalits and other oppressed castes is calling Canada “a safe haven for terrorists, for extremists, and for organized crime,”??!

I am so angry at the Indian govt's stupidity right now.
