"Why'd Trump spend time on a side issue if there's supposedly a bunch of major issues with Harris' policy?"

"...pass"

I don't disagree. I just think we shouldn't dismiss the possibility just because the US says it's the case. The US also said Putin was going to invade Ukraine and caught a lot of ridicule online for that, but it turned out to be a spot on prediction.

I never disagreed with that. I'm just offering my perspective as someone familiar with the cultural traditions.

Okay, and my point is regardless of if what you say is merited or not, Maduro can still have cheated.

Completely agree.

Balanced budget, working away the debt, making sure you don't run a deficit? All totally sensible. But you do that by making the government more efficient and raising tax revenue, not slashing funding willy nilly

Same :(

Some of the ideals they claimed to follow weren't necessarily bad. Fiscal conservatism isn't inherently a bad thing, the problem is that Republicans were highly selective about when they cared about it.

Oh fucking hell, Missouri?

Maybe I should vote in the Republican primaries, fuck this woman and keep her far away from office.

Here's a question. Have you actually spoken to anyone of Venezuelan heritage about the situation there? Because someone I worked closely with at my old job had told us about what was going on, and he loathed Maduro and said Guaido was the rightful president.

Machado can have uncomfortable ties to Republicans and Netanyahu, and Maduro can still be an unrightful president. This isn't a binary. It's rarely a binary, in fact. The USSR was pretty bad. The US is pretty bad. When the two had competing operations during the Cold War, was one bad and one good? Or were they both bad?

The opposite of bad isn't always good. Sometimes it can also be bad -- even a greater evil.

I'm all for the US shooting down offensive missiles. I do wish though we'd use it as a much stronger negotiation tool. Tell Netanyahu that if they're the ones who start it, we won't help at all.

This is a pretty big deal in Indian culture. Respecting and listening to elders is actually a cornerstone, I'd say. At social events with potlucks, the young kids are always the first to eat, then the elders, then everyone else. It's so ingrained in me that when I saw a young Indian kid mocking their grandmother I was utterly shocked.

However, this isn't to say the children in this article are necessarily wrong to abandon their parents. It's just some perspective on how big of a deal this is.

Although at the same time, I've noticed that second generation Indians (born to the parents who immigrated, like me) are taught a more traditional and conservative culture. The first generation Indians I've met seem a lot less traditional -- hence why they're probably more okay with abandoning their elders. It's interesting sometimes how immigrants preserve their home culture and traditions better than their own home does. Granted, this isn't the case with everything. There's a lot of things where Indian kids who grew up in the West are far more liberal on.

That said, there are other regional countries which are also calling for data and are skeptical of the legitimacy.

Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia are also asking for election data here, but you neglect to consider that.

What about Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia?

Would it help if I said I knew someone from Venezuela who is adamant that Maduro cheated? My old coworker heavily dislikes Maduro

Good! Elden Ring felt too large at times, especially some DLC areas. Where I had the most fun was contained dungeons and castles. I think that's really where their level design shines best.

He should've resigned before anything else. His direction is what put the company into a shaky financial situation.

Man as a long term destiny player, this has just been heartbreaking. The latest expansion was absolutely amazing and you could tell the devs really put their heart and soul into it. And now a lot of them are gone. The narrative leads, longtime leaders of the franchise, all canned.

Rumors about what's upcoming suggest a major downsizing in the content that's going to come out for players too. So I'm not even sure how they plan on continuing to make money.

Fuck Parsons.

We had layoffs earlier this year, and I don't know if they were absolutely necessary, but the financial situation was admittedly not good at all.

Since then we've lost some of the best and most talented coworkers I had, and morale is only just now recovering it feels like.

I'm a bit surprised that Iran would plan an open retaliation for this, since they don't typically officially acknowledge their proxies.

This does risk a full on war between Israel and Iran however if Iran is going to give up all pretenses.
