The paper linking vaccines with autism was also retracted, and that didn’t stop them.

Ok so that’s what the backup tire says 60psi.

When I first saw it, I thought that it has to be wrong and I’m looking at the wrong number.

Whenever I use gimp, and have to draw square, circle, text or a similar shape I swear I need to search the net for the answer.

You can do everything, but it is very counter intuitive to a noob. I don’t need to use gimp/Photoshop so I regularly forget it and need to look it up every time. I’m sure that for somebody who uses it regularly it is intuitive.

Why January 19 was selected as the date?

… and now we are getting to the point, why Russia is hated universally by its neighbors. So many of the same stories and you can’t tell which one I’m talking about.

To the West WW2 ended in 1945, the countries “freed” by Russia had to wait another 45 years until 1990 when USSR collapsed to become free.

My country was “freed” by Russia, and let just say we would prefer they would leave us with Nazi Germany.

And for those with bad memory there’s also Ukraine, Georgia, Chechenya.

Because it is propaganda piece. All what happened is that the Syrians managed to get out the most oppressive knives (Russian and Iran).

Things looked like we might finally see justice, but after this victory, I think he got away free. Pardon or not.

I think those advocating on pardoning him now think that this would remove his incentive to turn DOJ into his personal agency, but he likely will do that anyway no matter what.

Exactly. Want to fight China? Do it together with other allies and put tariffs on things you actually produce yourself and don’t want China to get competitive edge on, like for example EVs.

If you fight with allies you are weakening yourself and make China stronger.

I read someone say that (here or on Reddit) when there was post that Russian soldiers were given tampons to use to stop bleeding.

I searched for history of tampons and that looked like the person was just bullshitting. I think OP probably saw the same comment as me.

Regarding Ukraine, there could be nothing further than truth https://youtu.be/7gxssycoxz0

As for Israel the problem is more that it isn’t a lapdog, it looks like US is Israel’s lapdog. As it looks like Israel does whatever it wants even if it is against US interests, and US still supports it.

Sure it wasn’t out of altruism. If Ukraine loses, more things will happen (remember, this didn’t start with Ukraine, we had Chechen, we had Georgians, we had Ukrainian Crimea and now Ukraine)

1. Ultimately we’ll have war in Europe which will force US to be involved (as mentioned Ukraine is not first and not last)
2. More likely invasion of Taiwan (if US couldn’t help Ukraine, how will they help Taiwan?)
3. We will get a nuclear proliferation, a bunch of other countries (Japan, South Korea, Poland, Germany and others) will be interested to obtain nukes, as that will be the only guarantee to not get invaded

They had multiple shots. They could easily have bill that replaces or worth something else, but they instead opted to remove it without alternative.

I saw reports that it was an elderly customer but another report that it was an employee.

Looking at Russian weapons performance I would disagree.

Also maintaining nuclear weapons is extremely expensive. Russia spends 126 billion and no way that can cover all their nuclear weapons.

Also it is crazy, that it was trump that increased spending:

Then under Biden or actually stayed that way (maybe slightly even dropped) until Russia made an attempt of full invasion of Ukraine.

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the 20th Century by Prof. Timothy Snyder is a very relevant book that everyone should read. It is actually short.

The most important lesson is to not obey in advance. If people just give up and accept their new changes, that’s really all they need.

We can’t just wait it out, we also need to resist and support anyone that resist it.

The author also reads the book on his YouTube channel.

Ok so 124 victims of gun violence in Minnesota in 2023 without any context. It could be gang violence, shot by police, suicide etc. When you say somebody didn’t comment about someone else’s death you would know the victim name and some background story what happened.

He sent this tweet two hours after the incident. No one knew at the time what were the motivations behind it. All they knew at the time was that CEO of subsidary headquartered in Minnesota was shot (by accident or otherwise) and that was it. We later learned the rest.

What were the gun related deaths that weren’t tweeted about?

By all means I don’t feel sorry for this guy, I agree with the sentiment, but I don’t want politicians to be the ones asking to murder someone. I want them to regulate, so killing people this way is not possible.

Meanwhile the other party selects billionaires as cabinet members.

He and Kobluchar responded, because the guy was from their state, so they felt they should say something. The fact that they are attacked solely because they weren’t making death threats is mind blowing. Their job as politicians is to put regulations to thwart these practices, not kill people.

You can have your own opinion about the CEO, but you don’t want politicians resolve problems by killing people. We saw this in Germany in 30s and 40s.
