Eyyy we don’t need resources shortages we can make our own!

Ahhh I think I misunderstood how they thought the Paradox of Tolerance was being applied.

Hold up, isn’t that exactly the Paradox of tolerance, though? We cannot tolerate the intolerant conservatives in order to maintain a tolerant fediverse.

Here ya go. It’s another opinion piece by, if you’re familiar with the NYT, you guessed it!

Edit: whoops its older than just today, that mighta thrown off your search.

They literally posted an article supporting the war earlier today, too.

The NYT is part of the US’s consent manufacturing machine.

They just also coincidentally post some decent recipes and host some fun word games.

Edit: Serious Eats posts far better recipes, though.

There’s even other posts with actual articles about this already…

Truly, why even bother?

Social media posts aren’t news articles.

Is that true? That makes more sense then, actually! I thought they somehow resisted what I’m sure would be persistent high-priced offers to buy the domain from one of the largest beverage holding groups in Asia.

Amazing that this news org is able to hold onto asahi.com in the modern era

Legit ask her if she’s trying to flirt with you. Act incredulous at the concept, to give her an out and let her save face. If yes, you can politely say you’re flattered but you have a personal policy to never get involved with anyone you work with. If she says no, apologize profusely for the assumption and explain the same policy, hence you’re asking.

If you think she might be the type to chase you anyway, flat out tell her the flirtation is, quote, inappropriate and unprofessional. That should deter any issues and if not it’s an HR issue.

There’s so much more (taxable) revenue from the World Cup than just the ticket sales. Travel, merchandise, TV rights, sales later on from notariety, etc. Tbf I don’t have an exhaustive understanding of soccer profits so that’s not an exhaustive list, but I know a TON of money that trades hands around these events.

Ooooooooooh h8 breaking from law based rule but oooooooooh we do love money money so good

Department of Redirecting Tax Dollars into Trump-Ally-Owned Charter Schools

My sister is so into this mindset but doesn’t do anything about it, it’s so annoying.

Every conversation with her ends up being about how to monetize something. Fucking A, I’m not gonna start a food blog and sell ads, I just wanna make dumplings!! I’m not gonna stream my boyfriend and I playing games, we’re just trying to relax! I’m not a brand or a product I’m just a person, get off it.

I’m thirty to forty years old, I don’t need this shit.

We did just fine in IRC with no accounts just handles. Recognize me or don’t!

Have you encountered one of these people in real life?

I have never met anyone who espouses any values like this nor have I see any online presence of someone like this, either.

What I mean is, don’t overvalue the people on this online community you’ve found in a way that impacts your life. There aren’t throngs of people out there trying to castrate or kill you for being polyamorous because they want to replicate toxic relationships in anime and manga.

The article notes China has a strict self-defence only, no first launch policy.

Their entire arsenal is mobile in order to facilitate that kind of strategy.

The US, which makes no such promises, keeps missiles in dedicated launch facilities ready to go year round, is also expanding and updating its arsenal of nuclear weapons.

Which seems more alarming?

For those wondering, this article is from a week ago and references the first stolen ship, the US did not yet capture a second ship.

Yeah, this was my point with the “nothing” statement. Obama oversaw and approved some absolutely horrendous things.

I thought I read they did storm the streets of Caracas, during the last Trump admin, in support of Maduro, during a previous coup attempt.

Like the US got caught sponsoring mercenaries and trying to ship in a load of guns to start a coup. I don’t imagine everything is peachy in Venezuela, but I do wonder how much of that is due to meddling by foreign powers versus corruption.

News in Latin America is hard to trust one way or another, because it always seems like it’s being twisted to support one goal or another. Like, I know the state media is biased, but I also know the Western media is eager to support bloodthirsty actors who want to pillage their resources.
