Wake up sheeple, here's the real history of the moon
Neon Genesis Evangelion History
First Impact (also known as the "Giant Impact") is an Impact which occurred in prehistoric times when the Black Moon, a giant spherical object, collided with the Earth in what is now the Hakone region of Japan. The collision caused an explosion that launched a massive amount of material from Earth into orbit. This orbiting debris eventually coalesced into Earth's only moon. The Black Moon is the vessel that carried Lilith, one of the members of the Seeds of Life sent out into the universe by the First Ancestral Race.

Most executives I've met can't read emails and just point to one of two numbers and say "higher/lower!" while dreaming of KPI's that don't improve anything and solely exist to stagnate wages
While I agree with you about half measures that divide the workforce/classes I am still all about "raising the basement".
Too many policies will only meaningfully impact the wealthy, so seeing lower pay bands receive specific attention is always great to see.
There are still far too many loopholes, lack of enforcement/consequences, and creative schedules that actively repress workers, but this policy sounds pretty great and it is affecting a lot of workers in less than a year which is fantastic momentum.
It's also more difficult to pass sweeping legislation when Republicans + Conservative supreme Court do absolutely everything in their power to resist any kind of improvement to American life they possibly can.
Government/police insist on having basically unlimited ability to spy on people within the US, and then maybe catch a part of one operation after collecting heaps of evidence over months/years with tons of victims irrevocably harmed - and eventually a few main people get like 3-5 years in prison on a plea deal.
I get the whole "building a case" thing, but letting multiple children get abused, while other sickos learn the ropes to eventually "get enough evidence" so a few people can plead guilty for a comparatively light prison sentences is absurd. Shut anything about it down immediately. Even if it doesn't go to trial/conviction I'm sure the police have creative capacities to deal with child abusers outside of prison.
And people still think sex education in school is about teaching children how to preform sex acts, instead of helping them avoid predators.
Poor guy thought lighting himself on fire at something to do with Trump wouldn't make everyone think it's about Trump.
He had a bunch of flyers that he threw in the air before setting himself on fire outside a Trump trial, but unfortunately none of them mentioned Trump. Maybe something about billionaires which is kinda Trumpy, but we won't actually show you any of them because we're here for Trump. Anyhow, Trump Trump Trump
I used to be like you, and ultimately I still am - but people seem to need this oppression if we're ever going to make government work for us again.
There is a very dangerous trend of voter apathy, mis/disinformation, and a near complete lack of understanding on the functions of government and democracy.
Until people are actually willing to "work together" (decide we don't need an orphan crushing machine - not actually work hand in hand with everyone else) we kind of deserve the governments we have.
It's plain as day that powerful interests are getting absolutely everything they want, while successfully convincing the general population they shouldn't have job security, health care, social safety nets, education, and an environment that isn't entirely poisoned.
So many people are willingly voting against their interests to hurt someone less well off. Others simply don't care to pay attention, vote, or refuse to apply logic to information if it suits their bias even though it hurts them.
There are huge amounts of bad actors (media in general completely ignoring the obvious rise of facisim and ringing the dinner bell instead of the alarm) doing everything they can to obfuscate the truth and play on people's bias/hate/fear are direct attacks on democracy.
It feels like we're literally experiencing how Hitler rose to power. People are aware of things like project 2025, J6, Christo facisim, bought and paid for supreme Court, outright lies and disinformation campaigns from most media sources, and billionaires dictating to governments.
The general population mostly shrugs, does a finger wag, a head shake, and call it a day.
The far right is organizing globally to allocate funds and think tanks, lobbyists, controlling media, having people of influence throughout government, military, and police. The response? everyone still treats them as disconnected fringe weirdos doing their thing, not something worth dedicating any time to.
You hear Trump supporters saying J6 was an inside ANTIFA FBI job of fake actors - who are completely innocent American heros that are political prisoners and need to be pardoned?
Such cognative dissonance shouldn't be able to exist in nearly half the population, but does due to trusted sources experiencing 0 consequences for pushing obvious lies - so it must be true.
When push comes to shove (shove comes to fist?) maybe the Lazy left will actually show up to resist their oppression, hopefully they unite before it's too late.
People in cities often don't know or understand the first thing about nature and are content imagining it as some pristine "other" place outside of the cities they never leave.
Rural people who have access to nature tend to vote for the "put every chemical in the environment as fast as possible" parties.
The poor who live near natural beauty without industry have no clout or means to change anything outside their immediate village (even then its not likely)
The rich people who actually enjoy nature, live near it, and want to protect it - often only want to protect it for themselves. At best their environmental efforts are offset 1000x by their lifestyle.
Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of rural/urban hunters, environmentalist, nature/outdoor lovers. But it's a relatively small group with little social crossover. And aside from the cottage are probably spending their entire outdoor experience on public walking paths and aren't aware of the extent of habitat loss, pollution, and mass die offs taking place.
Obviously more US aid is crucial, and it's recent absence is clearly having negative consequences in Ukraine.
If there is a silver lining, it's that all of Europe is finally getting it's military shit sorted out.
Russia is settling into it's war economy and the rest of Europe has decades of dust to shake off it's military capabilities.
Obviously NATO and individual European counties aren't fully engaged in war like Ukraine is, but the resources consumed by war is proving just how under prepared Europe is for a long campaign.
The best way to tell if it's a false flag operation is to see how much this event will be spread in the Russian media.
They've lost tons of equipment and had bombings deep in Russian territory, mostly affecting their oil production which could be perceived locally as Russian military inferiority.
So when this starts being on blast for every channel and frequency - you can be sure it's a false flag.
If they bury this like any other Russian military failing, then it's probably real.
Edit: ISIS claims responsibility, but Russia is still trying to blame Ukraine, which is kind of a false flag?
I originally typed 'Arguably the worst thing we've done' but the more I think on it, humans are generally terrible.
If it wasn't religion, it'd be racism, sexisim, geography based hate, abilisim, left handedness, phrenology, etc etc etc. Religion is just another lubricant to placate docile individuals, and justify the actions of hate focused individuals
I'm certain we could all live together in peace, but we're so tribalistic that the second anyone says their group is better than X because Y the majority of the population seems to lap it up at nearly any expense.
The bill raises the threshold for which the executive branch can approve an arms sale of major defense equipment without congressional notification from $14 million to $23 million
So assuming they maxed it out and only did exactly 100 transactions, that's 2.3 billion going to IDF
23,000,000 * 100 = 2,300,000,000
Hopefully the white house is doing this for Ukraine 10fold and running a circuit around the current Russian-American Congress
I just got a blue ray of samurai champloo - mostly because I'm sick of media in general cycling through multiple streaming services only to become unavailable.
The SC blue ray came with a digital copy from funimation (now crunchyroll). I saw online that it's basically a scam that doesn't work so to see for myself I created a paid account to hopefully get access to the digital download.
I found out it was unsupported, and at best it would only be available online and with an account - no opportunity for actual download/ownership.
So I immediately cancelled subscription and had them fully delete my account. I figured complaining about their shit policy by cancelling a paid service and fully deleting an account would hit some metrics at least.
When there's a show/movie I really enjoy, I either buy physical, or torrent so I actually have it. Only some things on the internet are forever, and with the volume of content being created, "permanent" is now often only for a few months before it becomes nearly impossible to find again.
Living near Quebec has ruined me for poutine, now I'm back in the GTA I can't find a reliable spot that can make a good classic poutine.
Not to be a poutine snob, but I hope those curds melted, even the best places sometimes have curds or gravy that's too cold and doesn't melt properly!
If anyone in the GTA has a good traditional poutine spot please let me know. There's some good shawarma poutine floating around, but the only reliable classic poutine I have found is Swiss Chalet. I usually get traditional gravy and chalet sauce on the side for dunking
