When I stated china is look for opportunities for themselves, I don’t imagine it’s anything good for us. Regardless of what Xi’s china decides, it won’t be good for democracy nor us.

You’re talking about the negative results, but the important point is who is attributed as causing them or the reason behind them. If there’s record inflation, I can imagine a situation where MAGAs believe it’s for a good reason, or because woke caused it or something. Remember, people died with covid, in complete disbelief of it because of conservative spin.

I’m hoping people wake up, but who knows how far we must fall before they do. Jan 6 and COVID I thought were those points. But here we are at depths unimaginable, and accelerating.

In regards to oligarchs, look how bad things are in other countries. Russia is an example where people have less rights, freedoms and money than us yet they aren’t rebelling. We can still reach that point sadly. I hope you’re right that people wake up and become angry way before they point.

Things are looking good. As the article states, there will still need to be more time before we see if it has a longer term financial impact.

I appreciate the link!

Idk, this recent target change feels too recent. Is there evidence that their DEI rollback has received a bunch of backlash? I don’t think putting themselves in this situation would bring back sympathy compared to any other number of things that don’t involve legal troubles.

I’m betting this is the rights way of making an example of a DEI company, “you ever do this, we will come after you, whether you undo it later or not”

Idk anymore. The maga handlers have complete control of the maga cult media machine. I could imagine this happening, and right media spinning up a lie that maga eats up. “Biden did this with the Democrats!” He encouraged a coup that was recorded, and people all but forgot about it.

I kinda doubt China wants to share things with the US. That and I doubt Putin wants the China to be stronger either. I think China would be cool not stepping in the way of the US and Russia so long as they see some opportunities for themselves.

Idk. That was, overall the jokers plan. I would say Mitch would be a person that helped the joker gain access to plant the bombs, helped to place the bombs, complaining every once in a while about how it’s bad to do this. After the explosion, he’ll say how he never wanted that explosion to happen, and tried all he could.

This is certainly helpful. I am in an apartment that I’m certain has no floor heating. I hardly ever have to turn on the heater (gets as low as about 13-15 degrees sometimes). During the warmer days, I have to open my windows or else it gets extremely humid.

You’re a girl I imagine? I feel like girls are more likely to experience this than dudes. Anecdotal of course

Do we have a source other than newsweek?

Are we trusting news week now? Didn’t seem to be the most reliable website

yeah, that’s the only positive aspect, there may actually be a reason for conservatives to push for defending ukraine and regaining their land.

The new Axis powers of Russia, China, North Korea and U.S.A against the European powers. 10 years ago that would seem ridiculous, now, not too far fetched.

I don’t feel Deadlock is much of a direct competitor considering that it has a lot of shooter elements, and less MoBa elements. LoL and Dota are definitely strong competitors though.

Yeah morale is a thing too. After Trump’s win, it really starts to feel like a majority of people are supportive of Trump’s hateful rhetoric. The protests are to show people still care about people.

Oh dang, so there’s also a chance you hit the bottom of the water as well? Hope you’re fully recovered now.

How did you hit the water? were you aiming for a belly flop, or dive? or were you just jumping in without thinking of the other? What injuries did you sustain if any?

You know what they say about what happens when you jump into a car with a single Nazi, now you have 2 nazis sitting in a car. JK. Aslo, i should mention, I think you mean to type: "I’m paraphrasing, so no exactly her words since if you’re paraphrasing they wouldn’t be her exact words.

IDK if I would call any of the two elections you mentioned “rigged” as I feel people think of that word to mean direct fraud (votes changed for instance). That being said, seemingly both elections were influenced by Russian mis and disinformation campaigns which puts into question what the response should be. This are not honest elections and, thankfully for Romania, they are able to and seemingly are doing something about this campaign of influence. For the US, which I’m assuming was heavily influenced by Social Media during this last election, nothing should be done, except to make some changes moving forward.

Never done it before. I think there’s an export button that provides a file. You could check that out to see if it provides your subscripted communities.
