It’s kinda like comparing West vs East Europe.

And the National debt hit $40T, when are they going to fix that too?

In all the talk about media bias being “left wing” it feels odd that the right, even and especially MAGA that was once high QANON conspiracy adjacent, doesn’t rail more against these two things.

“The Surveillance State” - if it walks like a duck…

Do you think it would be covered differently under Dems? If so what would the GOP narrative sound like?

Now with Trump vowing to hit them again after a month-long lull, was this war inevitable or did Netanyahu trick Washington into it as Iran’s foreign minister now claims?

I think it was wrong to pressure the jury to change their minds either way. They did their jobs so let them go home. It will only get ugly. I would hate to see any of them change just to get it over.

I think one of the reasons we're so desperate to come in contact with alien life is because we're lonely as a species, we don't have any other peers on our intellectual level to talk to or do things with, we're the only ones on earth with sapience and that has isolated us from the animal kingdom, and I just think like damn it really does suck that no other species evolved to our same conscious level, life would of been more interesting if there was a 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th intelligent species living with us, the closest we probably got to that was when other human species like the neanderthals, denisovans, homo erectus lived alongside us in the prehistoric times but all of them died out so we're alone. I feel like most of our problems would be solved if we just had some peers.

I remembered when I was in the 90s, or even until the 2000s, all I saw on the news was our population has been going up. Earth doesn't have enough resources for that many people, that human is killing environment, etc. So it's kinda baked in my mind that we need less people.

But nowadays, I saw more and more people complaining that birthrate is falling across many countries. And apparently that's bad because less young people mean less taxpayer to support the system, and care for the elderly.

So which is the worse problem? Less or more people? Isn't it what we want to have less people on a planet with limited resources?

The best example I have is that the FauxMoi sub's top post of all time is not pop culture related or even pop culture adjacent, its literally just a clip from a House Committee Hearing. Its not just them, the Millenials (with one "n") sub is like that, pics, Me_IRL, and ever since SipsTea did away with the no politics rule they've basically become a completely different sub

I know "politics touches everything" and blah blah about the world and everything else being political etc...

But, a lot of these subs just allow any political content even if its 100% off topic. Which then becomes the dominant theme of the sub and eventually there's very little content relevant to the sub's intended purpose

Why is this?

I volunteer for a non-profit that is having its 25th anniversary, and they wanted a timeline to put on their website showing the major things that they have done.

I thought it would be good to have a graphic that moves automatically so people don't have to scroll to see each poibf, but rather it just shows everything automatically if you stay on the website.

Meaning should men ask women how can I pick up women, or should they ask men?

I’m kind of having a hard time deciding. My initial thought was they should ask women because we know what we want. But someone made the analogy of you ask the fisherman how to fish, not the fish. Women haven’t had to go through asking out women.

So idk I kinda go back and forth. Thoughts?

rich anti semites are rare, like good looking atheists

Ive posted this on a couple subreddits but im in pain NOW so need advice on what to do and why😭. Also soz if im rambling, it just really hurts and this week has been the worst for it.

So for the past week, every single time i eat ive been getting sick. Like i will have a meal and then an hour later, ill have to throw up.

Ive actually had this kinda for the past 2 years. I thought for a while that i developed lactose intolerance or something because i noticed that it got especially worse when i had dairy products so i basically cut off milk and cheese but icl i do sometimes have some chocolate.

However, i think the issue is maybe oil? I genuinely dont know. I get ill from: Crisps, Any sort of batter, Chicken wings, any fast food, basically anything that isnt a salad.

Recently, i moved into a new apartment and ive been having mostly pasta in different forms (Bolognaise, pesto, etc) but i spruce it up with veggies and stuff.

Either way though, my stomach pains have been getting SO bad. I just had dinner and i actually made myself a fried rice (but i added chilli oil which maybe was the issue). I will eat a meal and ill feel so horrible like ill have to sit in a fetal position holding my tummy and for the past 2 days, i threw up after eating.

I do fast, and eat only dinner and sometimes lunch but ive done this for years and years and i dont think thats the issue. I get it even when i eat full meals for all my meals it just still happens.

ALSO im literally asian and grew up with loads of oils and curries and everything so it doesnt make any sense to me why oil would suddenly be an issue?

Whats going on? If you need more info i can provide in comments and tysm.

Ps: laying in bed with now clutching my stomach because it hurts so much and is making noises like crazy

Doesn’t he have to be able to fulfill his duties, on his own, to serve as a congressman? How is GOP getting away with this legally?
