I'm not sure multiple post-hoc edits are going to make people trust you more, but better than nothing. Do people who interact with you need to screenshot the goalposts?

As for ISIS being better than Assad, I mean the bar is in hell, but for Syrians I think it's unmistakable and Others seem to agree. Kurds would result in a much better governance. What we ended up getting with Al-Sharaa seems like the 2nd best scenario of the 4, which almost certainly couldn't have happened without Ukraine putting up the defense they did.

The Kurds were abandoned to Turkey, and you're surprised they're on the defense? Erdogan wants them dead more than anything. We can talk about alternative timelines, but let's not ignore what got us to the current set of facts and pretend it was always going to be this way.

It's all Projection

The fault is obviously the driver who hit them, but also the social pressure of holding everyone up and making a quick decision to go and clear up the intersection.

This isn't unlike a situation where a truck stopped to help my sister turn left out of a business he wanted to turn into on a 2 lane 2 way. She had no visibility, and the dude was angerly waving her to leave for his wide turn. She let the social pressure get to her, went out to peak around him, saw the far lane was clear and went, then got tboned by someone zipping around him. She never would have tried that had he not made her seem like she was the unreasonable one making him circle the block again or make the wide turn into the other lane to get in straighter... Course he didn't stop to be a witness either.

Why is trying to prevent Russian airstrikes on Assad's behalf triggering doubt that it's for the benefit of the civilians? The kurds weren't the ones Exterminating them with chemical warfare

The article you linked once again states her motivations were not what you said... She wanted to support the Kurds, something virtually no progressive should have a problem with doing in the Middle East. She specifically wanted to prevent ISIS from coming to power by arming the kurds and you even acknowledge the airstrikes were mostly used against them and not just from Russia, but Turkey too thanks to Trump fully abandoning our allies. Also, for the people of Syria, Assad may represent stability for the Russian interests there, but horrible outcomes for the people, I find/found him to be the worst of the three options.

Again, you're free to say you think her motivations were to give ISIS a Senzu bean, but her stated mission was to arm and train the kurds and topple Assad. Something that eventually happened from a less scrupulous group because of a power vaccuum left by Russia, after trying to shore up a US power vaccuum with a cruel dictator and getting distracted by other imperialist interests. If anything, the strong ISIS emergence was directly counter to her plans; If you don't misleadingly claim the plan and motivations immediately stop after Assad is outsted, anyway.

Her stated reasons were to protect Syrian civilians, not "ISIS and moderate rebels" according to your own source... Be careful about spreading misinformation. It's okay to have the opinion that that's who she was protecting, but I'd say the stated goals of Obama's admin plainly dispute that motivation as well.

Absolutely horrifying. The account of the barber... All of this to make weak "men" feel strong.

For every dollar spent on IRS staffing, etc, it's estimated to be at least a 7x return. Any disruptions are going to cost a lot with that in mind. Also, I find it a little misguided to question the IRS, an agency that shows its work's opinion on DOGE, an "agency?" Which has failed to show its work and has been caught lying frequently.

For sure, I think drivers often make calculations like they're being nice, but the risk to a walker is way higher than a driver and so they shouldn't be surprised when the walker doesn't take the wave. I slow down and meander as a pedestrian when there's a busy 4 way and then jog across, if people stop early "just in case" I feel put at risk for niceties.

I was pretty shocked at how many big brands around cosmetics, haircare, and hygeine were big Trump or Project 2025 supporters. It's about as rampant as gas stations and tool brands.

I use them as well. I wish there was a better agregator though, Walmart passes their check, but treat their employees and suppliers like dirt.

Finally, Springfield Ohio can go back to being a meth-riddled shit-hole as God intended. I hope the hateful people interviewed by Fox enjoy the loss of every federal and local social safety service at the same time.

This is an extremely common scam for both sexes. Guys do not willingly send dick pics to their family members, which is what the scammers threaten them with. College-aged men are the most frequent target if I'm not mistaken.

Ones I haven't seen mentioned here yet:

Honeywell is a major millitary contractor.

Meijer, Hanes, Circle K, Jimmy Johns, Thermos, Thortons, Hyvee, Milwaukee, Ryobi, Conair, AAA, Yamaha, Dixie, Roku, New Balance, Sparkle, Saucony, Hoka, Sport Clips, and Lowes - donate almost exclusively to Republicans

Tripplite (bought by Eaton) - Barre Seid donated 1.6 billion to a dark money conservative group.

It's a minefield out there.

I'm not so sure. Republicans do have a persecution fetish, but that's specifically tuned not to apply to Republican leaders. Instead, the anger will be pointed at minorities. Many will take the bait because it's what they do as a bloc every single time.

And so begins the Chinese century.

The disrespect is palpable. From the same admin that demands thank yous for support they don't give comes, "Jump through the fucking hoop or die, Howard."

All I'm saying is once they're out of office, whether from having their skulls caved in, a noose around their necks, a democratic election, or dying comfortably of old age surrounded by their families rubbing their hands greedily thinking about the ill-gotten gains, the sane-washers need to suffer the same fate.

The FBI/CIA doesn't stop right-wing plots, only supposed socialist or communist plots.

I'm disturbed that I already know who most of these parasites are. They've almost all made a name for themselves trying to destroy America. It's telling that even their accusations about mass conspiracy are projections, do they even believe anything they don't accuse us of?

Undervalued? I think even Tesla investors know it's a bubble. One glance at Toyota and Honda stocks make that abundantly clear.

Zoe Bee as well, she's a teacher who speaks largely in lecture video essay format. Here are the 4 videos I've seen of hers https://youtu.be/cLKMW1LII7c https://youtu.be/4NAiPYaogCw https://youtu.be/ZhWxDgJv7PI https://youtu.be/ZUz1nCRJJBg

All highly recommended, Joel too
