The first one is very disagreeable, DC has a nicer transit system than all except for like 2 cities in the US.
Regarding Ukraine, they're one of 3 parties that can stop the war and could have done so at any point since the 2014 coup put them on track for this.
But have a talk with any republican about immigrants, 99% think immigrants are stealing SS, doing crime, taking all the jobs, causing poverty, and increasing healthcare costs.
Secret is to play the game next to a semi. Some semis kinda do it too by engine braking as they see the wave approaching instead of waiting until theyre close to even slow
Kind of, but his later works indicate he had developed a slightly more nuanced view than the thought experiments and basically meme understanding of non-european cultures that his earlier works inherit from Smith and others.
Who makes the batteries for all the chinese escooters?
I don't know the statistics whether they're particularly dangerous and given the numbers I see, they're probably reasonably safe, but the videos they play on the shenzhen subway to impress the importance of not bringing an EV onto a crowded elevator or charge it in your home gives the impression that they could kill you at any moment.
Whoa whoa whoa, hold up, if we held former presidents responsible for imprisoning a shitload of children, threaten/bomb/invade a country who thought they were on good terms, try/successfully overthrow a democratically elected government, we'd have to try nearly every president in the last century!
Putting 3000 yen worth of change into the 711 self-checkout for a 100 yen item while pretending I don't understand the cashier saying "its enough" in english and japanese because gives me back useful notes.
So the idea of apolitical nazi scientists just working on rockets is kinda not true when you look closer, but the real meat is Operation Bloodstone, where nazi officers were brought over snd given immunity to help run anticommunist programs.
Democrats only pretend to care about rules when it gives them a pretense to not do something that their base wants, but their donors don't. Biden had no problem breaking rules to keep weapons flowing to Israel when congress deadlocked. Obama had no issues violating the sovereignty of a dozen countries
Do you think the republicans haven't done anything of consequence? The US executive is literally one of the most powerful executives of any government, except like the gulf monarchies, France, and a few others.
It never happens because the right-wing dems oppose it more fiercely than they oppose republicans, and yall pledge to vote for them 2 years out anyway.
If progressive candidates can’t win the primary, they can’t win the general
Nah, the DNC has a million tools to control the primary, from not announcing winners to banning mail-in voting during a pandemic to giving debate questions to their preferred candidate to the way questions are framed.
We know this because they've done all hat and more.
But even if they didnt ratfuck progressives, the primary system gives undue importance to electorally irrelevant states. There was no way South Carolina was going to vote blue, but it largely decided it in 2024.
Bernie would have won in 2016, and would have trounced Trump in 2020 instead of Biden scraping by the skin of his ass, entirely because low-information believed democrats support free healthcare, not rounding up their neighbors to ICE camps, woman's healthcare, etc, who were then disillusioned.
No shot would Trump be out of the news cycle if he lost; things would continue to deteriorate as the dems continued Trump's policies again, while claiming to be powerless to help their constituents, meanwhile Trump would running for 2028, probably not even from prison, the dems would bring up Trump every chance they have.
We know that because thats what happened last time a conservative dem won.
Except the left has policy that directly improves the material conditions of people. Free Healthcare polls overwhelmingly better than "means-tested subsidies for insurance through 50 different marketplaces where you have no idea what you will pay at any point".
The people don't have coherent ideologies, but they know healthcare, rent, school are too expensive and wages are too low.
Nah, we need to let the DNC know that conservatives are unelectable in the general so they don't ratfuck they way through the primary again. Saying it now, I will not vote for republican-lite
I want to like chinese EVs so much, but they put in so many novelties that look like points of failure in 10 years
I just want the electric equivalent of like a miata; reasonably cheap, fun to drive, and trivial to maintain for decades.
