Aaaand now they’re exposed, suddenly they’re “victims”

In a statement on X, Pool said if the indictment was true, he was a “victim” and that he and other personalities were “deceived.”

Johnson said in a statement that he is “disturbed by the allegations in today’s indictment, which make clear that myself and other influencers were victims in this alleged scheme.”

Jesus, why are there so many crybullies on the right? “We got caught with our hands in the Russian money bag, but we’re the ones truly being harmed guys!”

At some point to become a consumer your money and/or attention is voluntarily given to A Thing. That’s a choice. But with internet cookbooks, bandcamp, IMDb, CrunchyRoll, etc etc you have the ability to seek out precisely what interests you, with the only burden being discovery. Monoculture died with the internet, you being on Lenny is a testament to that.

Not really understanding where you saw a pro free market argument from what I said - my main point was that people like diverse options, and seek out variety, from within and without.

…then treasure yours and stop importing American culture?

IMO the big thing that America offers culturally is choices that don’t fit in the box of existing cultural norms. There’s no “American Breakfast” or “American Music” in the same way you can visually identify Finnish cinema or spot the commonalities in French cuisine.

And when I travel around Europe I see the influx of other cultures primarily via immigration (Berlin has döner, Britain has curries, Spain/Portugal has Moorish and African influence embedded) but at the same time I also see imported ‘American X’ without that immigration. Europeans have identified things they like that other cultures migrate with, but seemingly actively seeks out the things Americans make.

How popular are hamburgers or Taylor Swift in your area, compared to other Euro offerings like Gorjira or handball? France has a strong arts scene supported by the government, but the Palme d’Or rarely goes to their domestic films.

When it’s in their backyard, absolutely. When it’s a condor habitat in California - that’s fair game for logging and agriculture.

Another “outrageous lie” - just like the last time this happened and was filmed.

The ‘most moral army’ in the world folks.

Again Israel attacks anyone and everyone standing next to anyone/anything they claim is Hamas.

• Civilians
• Hospitals
• Aid workers
• Reporters
• Mosques
• Hostages

Why are we still arming them? Repeatedly?

Stormy Daniels could have disappeared very quietly. She chose to be a witness instead, and Trump has borne the fallout from that case seeing the light of day.

Look at all the #MeToo abusers who fell from power and public favor - their behavior was “known” publicly in their industry but not widely across the country - and so they remained in positions of power and influence to continue that abuse.

I am old enough to remember when a “Hosted on LiveLeak” was a genuine content warning

You are not part of the community of Israel... You are not part of the national democratic camp which we all belong to in this house, and many of the people despise you. You are not partners in the Zionist enterprise. You are a foreign implant. You are an errant weed. Sensible Judaism spits you out. You placed yourself outside the wall of Jewish law... We say to this horrible man and those like him: you are a shame on Zionism and an embarrassment to Judaism.

Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, after the Cave of the Patriarchs massacre.

I’ve haven’t seen such a strong condemnation of Jewish extremism or terrorism since from any MK or PM. The current lot are instead fanning the flames actively, and I’m glad to see someone in the government call Itmar out publicly.

Per the Tesla patent, they took the approach of laminating dissimilarly toughened layers with a special adhesive. Unlike actual ballistic glass using a polycarbonate/polymer layer in the stack, Tesla’s 100% glass and glue is just better than tempered:

…at most a 10% chance of failure with an impact of 2 J.

However this glass type is rejected on the side and rear windows by everyone else, because it slows emergency rescue efforts - laminated windshield glass is difficult enough when no other rescue path is available.

It’s honestly a solid lane shooter FPS, but it falls flat of the Battlefield killer it could have been. Enough realism and no respawns to make you treat it seriously, but it’s also not ArmA levels of “welp, time to respawn and drive/walk to the objective for 15 minutes”

Plus doing the training unlocks the squad role slots for online play, get that season pass shit outta my face

Been done, and didn’t work. Players complained of “Slow weapon upgrades” and “No character progression” and was received poorly, needs more gritty realism.

Or explosions

Lame duck or no, Biden is still the commander in chief

Not just AIPAC, it needs to extend to ANY foreign money.

It’s not cheap either, you gotta WANT it. Between application cost, prerequisite fees, and lawyers for paperwork, it’s common to be out of pocket a few grand.

Don’t let your memes stay dreams 🥰

He was SHOOK at the RNC days after the attempt - it would have been the funniest thing for someone to pop a balloon right as he walked out

I am against my brother, my brother and I are against my cousin, my cousin and I are against the stranger.

Fuck around with the locals, and you might find them unified against you (NSFW). The nomadic groups are no strangers to violence.
